    My iPod Nano 3rd generation won't turn on at all even if I toggle the hold button and then press menu and select buttons for 10 seconds. ITunes says that it's corrupt. It's only 6 months old!! I've tried restoring it on iTunes but it took over an hour and it still wasn't done so I restarted the computer. The latest version of iTunes was downloaded a few days ago. Please help!1

    I had charge my ipod earlier and used it during then day in my car. I shut it off and when I got back in my car less than an hour later it wouldnt turn on or do anything. Itunes says its corrupted but it wont let me restore it on my computer becuase my ipod doesnt show up. I just got it this christmas so its only 4 months old! Nothing I have tried has worked on it.

    I had this problem with my IPod Classic and was about to send away for repair. I actually thought it was dead and buried as it is an oldie. Goggled as last resort and found the suggestion of centre button and menu. Just love the person who suggested it. Within 5 secs I'm up and working again. Thank you sooooo much, you've saved me a fortune I'm sure.

Try to turn on your ipod by holding the center button and the menu button both at the same time for about 6-10 seconds. Sometimes the hard drive on the ipod likes to freeze and just needs to be reset.

My 3rd Generation iPod Nano died and won't charge.

You may just need to leave it plugged in for a few hours and see if it comes to life. It is usually the case.

I am sure you will be fine.. give it a try

My Ipod Nano Wont Charge on the wall Charger.

Hello Kawase,

I would suggest you try charging the unit this one time by connecting it to the computer. I suspect that the charger may be defective if plugging the wall charger into the iPod has no effect on the low battery warning. If the iPod is able to be charged from the USB port on your computer that would tend to confirm that the charger is not working. If the iPod does not charge when connected to either the computer or the wall charger then you may very well have a another defective iPod.

Best Regards
Ken

Ipod nano

I think your Ipod charger/usb slot is damaged.
Take it to a repair shop is the only solution

Ipod help!!

Do you have an IPod charger that plugs into an elecrical outlet?

See if you can charge the battery that way.

You could try another USB port.

Mains charger

i contacted apple support and emailed them with the problem and as it is still under warranty, they are going to send me a packaging box to send back to them so they can see what the problem is. if they can't repair it they will give me a replacement ipod. i have only had it 6 months and it has been working fine, but lately i cannot charge it by mains or car charger, only usb cable.
