The Apple support web site (click here), has the procedure to reset your ipod Nano.

restart it by unlocking and locking the ipod 8 times under 10 seconds than holding the play and menu button together and it will restart you ipod but nothing will be erased

You should not plug the ipod to pc while it is playing because it is switches from the playing mode to sync and charging mode you can not play and use the ipod while it is connected with the software without ejecting it from itunes. Do a reset by pressing and holding the center and menu buttons at the same time until the screen goes back and apple logo pops up. This should reset your ipod and fix the problem.

:D! Okay, you unplug it and hold the middle button and menu button at the same time for a couple seconds until the apple sign comes up, Uhh then you just turn it on C:

Press and hold the center button and the menu button at the same time. This will reboot your Ipod.

hold down the center button and the play button, see if it resets.

Otherwise, wait till the battery drains. Then the problem will be fixed

Press and hold the center button while holding down the menu button. This will reboot your Ipod. Check your IPod cable to see if its shorted. If might have transferred a song and crash in the middle of the transfer.

My ipod nano 3gen 8gb is on screen lock and I have not set a code and now it is asking for one I dont want to delete any of my song can you please help me unlock my screen and keep my songs.

Make sure that your iPod’s hold button isn’t on. (little switch at the top left corner of the iPod). If this is on, you’ll see a little orange area at the top of the iPod nano and a lock icon on the iPod screen. If you see either of these, move the switch back and see if this fixes the problem. If that doesn't fix it:

Hold down the Menu button on the clickwheel and the center button at the same time. Hold these together for 6-10 seconds. This should restart it. You’ll know it's restarting when the Apple logo appears on-screen.
