Spot on resolution. Thank you so much!!

I tried the above and it did not help

Oh my gosh! Whoever posted this is a genius! Thank you thank you thank you! I just posted my own question and saw this one that seemed similar to my problem, in that my nano was frozen. It worked! You are a lifesaver! Thank you again!
