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.

My iPod keeps saying I need to connect it to my computer to restore it, but when I go through the restore process, and my iPod restarts, it doesn't show up in the iTunes window - it makes me repeat the restore process.
