My Ipod nano shut off while it was playing and it won't restart

Hello mrgooch42,

Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you are unable to get your iPod nano to turn on as expected. We see that you were already looking at the proper Apple resource for this situation, If your iPod won't turn on or seems frozen - Apple Support, so if you have followed the steps listed in that link, please reach out to Apple directly with this link Apple Support or go to a local Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider: Apple - Find Locations - Country Selector

Cheers!
