No power to ipod nano and it wont reset or recognise the ipod on my pc

Did you try resetting the iPod?

You do that by holding the middle button and the Menu button for a few seconds, and the screen should go black.

If that doesn't work, try letting it drain the battery. Once it's drained, it'll shut off - then you can recharge it and activate it again.

If you are on a PC the most common reason for iTunes not recognising is because of driver corruption. The easiest way to resolve this is to download the very latest version of it from the Apple site and reinstalling it. If that doesnt work, reset the device by holding down Menu and Select until the Apple logo appears then hold down Select and Play together until the display reads 'OK to Disconnect'. Now connect it to your PC. iTunes should now recognise it and you should click the 'restore' button on the ipod main page of iTunes.

All the best

Have you tried resetting it? Press the center (Select) button and the Menu button at the same time and hold for at least 10 seconds or until you see it reset.

for hayzlbe: connect it to its AC charger when you're connecting to a computer. n make sure you have an USB 2 port

for Teeen: if you have an hard drive ipod, just give it a shake/shock on your palm. you might get lucky n it might start working again. cuz it worked for me once after i dropped it on the hard cement floor from 2 meters height.

Start with these five simple solutions: Reset, retry, restart, reinstall, or restore…

try reformatting the ipod. that might reset it.

Are you using USB or Firewire? I've had poor luck with ipods and firewire.....

try to put the ipod into disk mode, while connected to PC, perform first hard reset by holding select and menu buttons until it restarts, when quickly change to pressing select and play buttons, then it must go into disk mode, will sync with PC and must show in iTunes, perform restore function to reformat the memory
