Hello TannerTheNoob124,


We can understand wanting to find out more about the way your iPod nano is charging. We want to help you get pointed in the right direction. When you connect your iPod nano to the charger, does it have any battery life left, or has it been completely depleted of battery life? 


If so, this is expected behavior. If the device has run out of battery, it is normal to have to charge it for up to one hour before it will power back on. You can view these details here: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't turn on or is frozen.


Also, follow the steps in this guide for what to do If your iPhone or iPod touch won’t charge.


Best regards!
