Ipod Nano wont turn on even is fully charged

Hi there,

I bought an iPod nano 4g 3rd gen around 4 months ago. It was working fine til two weeks ago. One day i found out that it wont turned on and i thought i forgot to turn it off and the battery ran out. so i charged it(i must reset it first or it wont turn on) and it was fine. The next day when i want to play my ipod, it wont turn on again, but this time i remember i had pause it and lock it. i plug the ipod to my powerbook again, again i need to reset while plugging to my powerbook, then my ipod turned on and indicated that its battery was fully charged.

I began to check on this forum, and someone was mention to reset my ipod permission, but when i had my ipod plugged to my powerbook, i can only repair disk not disk permission. However, i did repair the disk in my ipod anyways, but the problem of not turning on after one day of inactivity still exists. After a day of inactivity, i must plug my nano to my powerbook for a moment then reset the nano to turn the nano on. Anyone has a solution for this? This is getting annoying, please help out. thanks.

Have you tried to reset the iPod? I have one, too and this happens once in a while.

To reset, hold the menu and middle button at the same time until the Apple logo appears.

Everything will go back to normal.

Hope this works.

Hi No,

I tried to reset my nano many time, but it just wont turn on. Later on i found out that i have to plug my nano to my powerbook for a while then i can kick start my nano. This should normally happened if my nano's battery was drained. but after i kick started my nano, it indicated that it's battery was full.

And no, i didn't forgot and let my nano kept playing until battery ran out. Anyone?

I got an ipod nano 3rd gen for christmas after a few weeks it would keep freezing on me. Just yesterday it suddenly stopped working and i have no idea why. I was listening to it and it just stopped working. I've tried to reset it but that didnt work either. I thought the batter may be drained but it wont even charge.

Hi all

I had the same problem - just stopped working. Tried on all the 3 imacs and none responded. Then plugged directly to the charger and pressed the menu and middle buttons at the same time and after about 30 secs. the apple logo came on and then used the menu key and now all works.

Thanks mate and now no need to call apple support.

Cheers

Noel
