<h2>How to avoid your device from crashing and freezing:</h2>
<ol>
<li>Always      make sure that your battery is fully charged.</li>
<li>If you      have a low battery, don’t drain the complete power. Switch it off and      recharge again and then play your music.</li>
<li>Never      use any third party applications to transfer songs and videos to your iPod      device. These may harm your firmware version and this can easily led to      the crashing of your iPod product.</li>
<li>Always      use the official program for connecting iPod to your PC or MAC. You can      download it from the official store via this link.</li>
<li>Always      leave some space in your device. Do not use 100 percent of your drive      space while transferring media. This will ease the system capability to      render all songs flawlessly.</li>
