I had the same the issue due to my ipod. the problem that i think is with you is that you may have done something. To get your ipod on again hook it to the computer (USB cord) and re format it. that means you would have to clean your drive completely.. dont worry!!! then you need to put songs all over again...

I actually am having the same issue and connot seem to figure out why it will not power on. I am in the process of downloading the latest iTunes to my laptop. My nano(product)red will on show the apple screen when it is plugged in to my USB port and the screen is like digital, almost like gameboy screen you know? It will not light up with the normal apple screen. If anyone knows why this is please let me know and if I get it to work by re-formating it with the new software I'll be sure to post what exactly I had to do.

It happen to me too what I did was hold the sleep butten and home butten for like 30sec and then my iPod restated and worked

I had the same problem but all I did was go to my ipod and click restore. It totally wipped my ipod but after that i put alll my stuff back on there and it worked again.

Okay listen guys I found out how to fix for the Itouch. Just hold down the center button and lock the button for a while and it will do a full system restart.

I had the exact same thing happen to me. It was quite upsetting, especially after just been given it as a present. I googled it, this it what i found and it works!!!

Checklist to see if your iPod needs a reboot:

. Your iPod is charged.

*If not, you might have to plug in your iPod, and make sure the computer can't go to sleep while it's charging. The iPod won't charge if the iPod is locked, so no orange.

Charging your iPod problem solution, that also works.

* Your iPod might need to completely drain in battery source before you can charge it. If that's the case, leave the iPod unplugged for 24 hours before trying to charge it. That will make sure the power is drained and your iPod is ready to be charged.

2. Your iPod is unlocked. Slide the button back and fourth a couple of times, just to make sure it's working.

3. And your iPod still has a black screen, frozen logo, or white screen.

Rebooting your iPod.

1. Run a cold boot (shut your computer down, then turn it back on) on your computer. * If your iPod crashed because of the software freezing, or the computer crashed.

2. Open your Apple Software.

3. Plug in your iPod. Make sure that you plug in your iPod into your computer, and that the plugs are secure. Your computer should detect your iPod, black screen or not.

4. Set down the iPod. Take your iPod and put it on a flat surface.

5. Press firmly. Take your fingers, and firmly press the middle button, and the menu button. It will read menu on the top button of the click wheel, and the center circle of your click wheel is what your looking for.

* Make sure your fingers are planted on the top of the center button, close to the menu button, and you are pressing it together.

6. Count to 8.

Now you should see an Apple logo pop up on your iPod screen.

Sometimes you need to try it a few times, to get it to work.

It should be synchronizing and happily you should be on your way.

*You also can reboot your iPod without it being plugged into the computer, I always do mine while it's plugged in.

I had to erease all the dta on mines and put the music and everything back on, im actually typing it now whilst its doing it, so pleased i found this! It all back to normal now :D:D:D:D:D:D

Hold the menu button down + he middle one at the same time thn if a liltle applee sing comes up your saved!
if not i say you take it to the shop!

Thanks it worked

Thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!!!!! you are my lifesaver!!! i thought my ipod was broken.

AHHH!! mine wont turn on - its been like this 4 ages and ive tried to charge it but it dnt work !!!! and ive held the middle button and the menu one !!!!!!!!

HI my ipod is a nano yellow 16gb 4th gen and i think i may have slept on it anyway it now has this wierd condesation under the screen and it will not reset or charge or turn on this happened to me when i was on holiday in india but for no reason i left it for 24 hours and it worked but with low battery no explenation though ipods are odd like that
so i am now going to wait 24 hours and see although i was wondering do you think the condensation has ruined the ipod i think some air may have got in to it i left it for 30 mins it had gone but now when i press the menu and the center button the screen gets condensation so i think i will just leave it for a couple of days and if that doesn't work i will take it in to a apple store as it is only 6 months old
bye
