Once again during syncing music an error message occured which seems to cause the player to freeze with white screen. it is the 2nd time it has done this and it took all day for it to decide for itself to switch off!! Any ideas why this occurs. I am using WIndows media player to rip & sync and not the convertor that comes with the product. could this be the problem perhaps. Mind you I have managed to rip/sync 3 cds at a time before the error occurs which causes the freezing. Holding the power switch down does not seem to do anything. Seems that just have to wait for it to decide to rght itself. Any advice much appreciated. Ta Jo
Heres aa easy way press the power button for 20-30 seconds and then it will reset and u can start from there.

Press the power/menu button until the player turns off. after than perform recovery mode and try to update the firmware of the player to the latest one which i believe is .18A. :D

"iPod is disabled - Connect to iTunes" . This is because someone(or something?) has tried to crack your password too many times, which causes Iphone/Ipod to automatically disable itself to protect your data.
To restore your iPod, you must connect your iPod to iTunes with your iPod connector table. Make sure it is on and has this message when you connect it to your computer. Once connected, iTunes should detect it as usual.
Once connected, make sure you have all the proper sync settings enabled - for example, applications, music, photos, etc. Change something so that the Sync button in the bottom right appears in the iTunes window. Then sync the data.
When syncing is finished, turn on your iPod / iPhone and you should notice that the message is gone. Type in your password and the disabled message should be gone.
If the message is still there, try holding the sleep and home button at the same time until the iPod turns off, then continue holding the sleep and home button until a screen with the iTunes logo and a picture of the connector cable appears. This will put your iPod in Restore mode. With this option, you must click the Restore button in iTunes, which will delete all your data on the iPod.

Thanks for this info. pressing the power switch does NOT turn off the player however. It just hangs with the white screen for ages - took all day the first time it happened - don't know how long the 2nd time - cos I went to bed!! However I will update the firmware to the latest one - this is good advice Thanks
Pressing the power button does not switch off the player. It stays as a white screen until the battery runs down. Maybe it is a dud and I need to take it back - wish I could locate the sales docket!!!
