How to Take a Screenshot on Your iPod Touch

Have you ever wished you could capture the screen of your iPod Touch, right at any given moment? Say, to memorialize an epic moment in Doodle Jump, or to snap a photo of a webpage. Well, actually, you can–and it’s really simple.
Here’s all you need to do to take a screenshot on your iPod Touch (yes, it works on the iPhone too):- Press and hold the power button (on top of the device).
- While you’re holding down the power button, hit the Home key (the black, circular button) once. You will hear a “snapshot” sound (like a shutter).
- Release both buttons. In order to find your iPod Touch screenshot, just go to your Photo library.

TiP #1 | iPod Reset
Signing on for the inaugural iPod Spot TiP of the day… so thought I’d start with the Grandaddy of all iPod TiPS, for when all else fails, and you need to reboot:
How to Reset Your iPod
So, your iPod is frozen. As in, not responding. It’s okay–don’t freak out! Here’s how to reset your iPod if it’s frozen, not responding, being slow, not turning on, not turning off…basically if it’s doing anything out of the ordinary.
iPod Shuffle: Super-easy! Just turn it off using the switch (this is the only iPod that has a physical switch that can be put in an “on” or “off” position). Wait at least five seconds before turning it back on. iPod Nano: Make sure your iPod Nano’s hold switch is off. Hold down the “Menu” button (on the clickwheel) and the center button (inside the clickwheel) at the same time for at least ten seconds. You will be able to tell this is working because the screen will go blank and then the Apple logo will appear. If this doesn’t work, your iPod Nano may be out of batteries–plug it in and try again. Pod Classic: If your hold switch is off, turn it on and then turn it off again. If your hold switch is on, just turn it off. Hold down the “Menu” button (on the clickwheel) and center button (inside the clickwheel) at the same time for at least ten seconds. The screen will go blank and the Apple logo will appear. If this doesn’t happen, your iPod Classic may be out of batteries–plug it in and try again. iPod Touch: Press and hold the power button (located on top of the iPod Touch) and the Home button (the only button on the face of the iPod Touch) at the same time for at least ten seconds. The screen will go blank and the Apple logo will appear. If this does not work, you may need to repeat the process but hold the buttons down for longer–15 to 20 seconds. You may also need to connect the iPod Touch to a power source.
