I have a first generation ipodnano witch i brought in america a couple of days after they were released. i used my ipod for quite a while and all was fine, i then brought a new phone a Sony Erickson walkman witch i then used instead of my ipodnano so my ipodnano sat on my bed room self for numerous months. Just reasenly my phone has stoped working as well as it did before so i went to use my ipod but when i did it wouldn't turn on. I have tried to restore my ipod several times but it will not work and i don't know what is wrong with my ipod. It will not turn on, it will not play songs there is no glimmer of life coming from it until i plug it into the pc, itunes and my computer will reckognises there is an ipodplugged in and itunes will stat up, a couple of seconds later the little icon in the corner pops up telling me what songs i have on it. Still my ipodnano does nothing it is very stressful as i haven'tdroped it or anything like that i just left it on my shelf turned off for a considerable amount of months.
Please help me i need my ipod back again and have realized how much i have missed it
Thank you
The problem may be battery charge. Leave it plugged into the computer for 6 hours, and then try it. If this does not work, the best thing to do may be to call apple for further help.

The ipod nanos the smallest product in the Apple iPod line. The fourth generation
Nano comes in two different capacities, each capable of holding
thousands of songs.
Capacities
The fourth generation iPod Nano comes in 8 GB and 16 GB models. The 8
GB version can hold 2,000 songs, and the 16 GB version can hold 4,000
songs.
Tips
Song capacity estimates are based on music encoded in Apple's
proprietary format at a standard, average bitrate. The higher the
bitrate, the better the quality. Songs deviating from Apple's standard
(for example, CD-quality music or high bitrate MP3s) will use more disk
space.
History
Nano's predecessor, the iPod Mini, was released on January 6, 2004, and
was available with a 4 GB hard drive. The Nano was first released on
September 7, 2005, and was the first iPod to use flash memory. It was
first available in 2 GB and 4 GB versions. The fourth generation Nano
was released on September 9, 2008.
Size
The fourth generation iPod Nano is 3.6" tall and 1.5" wide.
Video
The third generation Nano, released on September 5, 2007, was the first
Nano to feature video playback. Storing videos on Nano can dramatically
reduce the amount of songs it can hold.
once the battery dies completely...plug it to pc (itunes should pop up also) , when itunes comes up check for update of ipod it might need it....this shall stop the ipod from freezing up...have fun and enjoy
