Also make sure that you are pressing the Play/Pause button toward the outside of the Click Wheel and not near the center.
  If you are still unable to put your iPod with a Click Wheel into Disk Mode, use one finger from one hand to press the Select button, and one finger from the other hand to press the Play/Pause button.
  

Important: If your iPod is frozen or won't turn on, it may be because iPod is paused or the Hold switch is in the locked position. If so, a lock symbol appears on the screen. Slide the Hold switch to the unlocked position and check the screen.

Green and ORANGE? orange indicates the iPod is searching for music.
UNDERSTAND this- when you play music in the iTunes app., you are hearing the music in your computer not the iPod.
1) Install the latest iTunes application.
2) Do a restore
3) sync your iPod

i cannot downloud music. I keep going to store but cannot not select music

green - orange 2sec

indicates that there is NO MUSIC on the Ipod.

go into itunes, connect your ipod.

when your Ipod connects you will see it apear in the left columb.

click on it. - if your library is now blank there is no music on it.

click 'autofill' at the botom to put songs from your album on to your ipod.
