If you lock it unlock it by plugging into computer

please help me my ipod is on lock that is the problem can you help to unlock the volume on my ipod it a 2GB ipod nano sliver

First make sure your hold switch isn't on. It's on the top or bottom and slides back and forth. It needs to be switched to the left. Once it is to the left, here's how you reset:

You can reset your ipod by holding down the menu and select (round button in the center) buttons down for at least 10 seconds. You'll see an apple logo flash, that's when you stop pressing the buttons. It will shut off, then back on.

If that doesn't work, try a restore. This will return it go factory settings.

How to restore iPod

1. Ensure that you have an active Internet connection as new versions of iTunes and iPod Software may need to be downloaded to your computer.
2. Download and install the latest version of iTunes if you do not already have it installed.
3. Open iTunes, and then connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
4. After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
5. Select your iPod in the Source panel and you will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes windows.
6. Click the Restore button. You will be prompted with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download the latest iPod Software. The 4 possible restore options are:
7. • Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
   • Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
   • Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software available.
   • Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores with the latest iPod Software available.
8. If you are using a Mac, a message will appear prompting you to enter an administrator’s name and password.
9. A progress bar will appear on the computer screen indicating that the first stage of the restore process has started. When this stage is completed, iTunes will present one of two messages on screen with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
10. • Restore Instruction 1: Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    • Restore Instruction 2: Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
11. During the stage 2 of the restore process, the iPod will show an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remains connected to the computer or iPod Power adapter during this stage. Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see since the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
12. After stage 2 of the restore process is complete and the iPod is connected to the computer, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences similar to when you connected your iPod for the first time.

If you have forgotten the lock volume control combination, plug your Nano into the computers USB port. Open Windows Explorer or the my Computer icon on your desktop and locate the Nano. It will be listed with your other devices with a letter in front of it like the hard drive and CD/DVD drives. (ex. E:\Nano or Nano (E:) ). Make sure you have your folders set to view hidden files and folders. If not, in Explorer go to Tools > Folder Options > View > select radio button Show hidden files and folders > OK. Click on the Nano to show all folders. Open the dimmed folder iPod_Control and then open Device and look for a file called _volumelocked. Delete this file and close Explorer. Use the Safely Remove Device in the icon tray in lower right of screen. Disconnect the Nano. Now, on the Nano, press and hold the Menu and then Center button at the same time for about 5 to 10 seconds until the Apple icon appears on the screen (it's dimmly lit so look carefully). This resets the Nano. Volume limiter should be unlocked.

OK.. so here goes... my nephew had his ipod nano screenlocked by a freind... we tried all the on line fixes to unlock it... no go... very simple fix is to hook it up to computer on usb port, PC in my case... find the "file" under root ipod... devices.. whatever.. am not sure .. "locked" and just delete the file called "locked"... unmount using the safely remove hardware and bingo... ipod fixed no need to reinstall... all songs were there.. hope this helps...
