My ipod wont turn on or charge

Yes, I am also suffering the same problem as you. I woke up this morning and my ipod nano (1st gen) will not turn on at all and will not turn on if i connect it to the computer. Please someone help us out

What happens when you connect it to your PC? Can you see it in Device Manager?

Yes, my iPod might have the same problem.My 80G iPod is about 90% full, so it was a bit sluggish. the other day when I select a song it went frozen (hang). When I resetted it, the apple logo appear,but IT STAYS ON (WON'T RECOVER).Eventually the logo dissapear because the battery drained off, I guess. When I connect it to a power source,the apple logo reappear 'bright' alternating with 'dimmed' "Please wait, very low battery", but nothing else ever happen again.My iPod also didn't appear on iTunes & My computer. Somebody please help ! Thank you !

my video ipod (iPod Video 30G)says its charging when i plug it in the computer and my itunes recognizes it and everything. it could charge for hours and sync all the new songs. basically its working like usual except when i unplug it. as soon as it is diconnected it says it needs to charge and dyes like it was never on the charger even though it was charging all night/for hours!!!

My Ipod turns on, but it won't turn off. I have a dock for my iPod stereo, and I have to turn it off with that. And now, it will only charge through the computer and not the dock. I have a first generation nano, and short of resetting it, I might have to buy a new one.

Mine too it was working fine then of all a sudden it turn off and it turn back on at all it wont even charge and my computer doesn't even show that i plugged my i-pod in. I dont know but i want sum answers

This happened to me as well. I figured out that it was because the songs became corrupt in the iPod itself. Hard resetting and reimplementing your songs should fix this.

I've had exactly the same thing - mine's a 2nd generation silver nano, I was given it for my birthday in late July and it worked fine for a week, then at the end of a workday i took it out and it just wouldn't turn on, computer wouldn't recognise it, wouldn't charge, wouldn't reset etc. about a week and a half went by and I registered it as damaged, so they sent out the packaging materials etc by UPS, I figure i'll give it one last go and plug it in and it worked fine. I've been using it for about 2 weeks since then and today it's done the same thing again. I'd just ask for it to be replaced, it seems to be a common problem. Are you using a mac or a pc? I've heard that this sort of thing happens less with macs :S

I had to replace my 5g 30GB iPod three times in the first week I owned it. The first one was DOA, the second would not work with Windows and then I gave up trying to get it to work on Windows and use it only on my Mac. It's working so far but it's only been a couple of months. The iPod is not meant to be used on Windows. There's way too many problems with iTunes, Vista, XP, compatibility, etc. Even iTunes purchases on Windows are just temp files that get wiped out by the OS. I do all my iPod business on the Mac.

I have the first generation nano and it wont do more than flash at me once in awhile! it just stopped working one day and the computer no longer recognizes it. I'd love to know what to do now! I bought this after Christmas, I expected to get years of use from this pricey little gadget!

having the same problem here. it wont turn on or wont charge at all. doesnt even show that its connected to the computer when plugged in and it basically doesnt do anything...
