    I got a 7th gen ipod nano in December. Everything has been fine until yesterday, with a full charge on it, it just turned off. It woudn't power up for anything. I took to Apple Store, person said to restore it. So, I'm giving that a try. Odd, however, it had a full battery when it died yesterday. When plugging into iTunes today, it showed dead.

    Hi, I wanted to post a solution that I found for a problem I have been having with my iPod Nano 7th generation turning on and off repeatedly.

    I use a Macbook Air 10.10.5 Yosemite.

    It worked fine until I synced it with some new updated playlists that I made.  When the sync would finish, the iPod would just keep turning off and on. 

    Resetting the iPod or Restoring the iPod in iTunes did not solve the problem. 

    I went to disc utility, erased the iPod and then restored the iPod in iTunes. This fixed the problem.

    But when I tried syncing with my music and podcasts, the problem recurred.

    So I started again, erased the iPod on disc utility, restored it in iTunes and then one by one added first my podcasts and then

    my music playlists, one by one.  When I added the Smart Playlist that I had just created that brought in all songs that are "hearted", that's what

    crashed my iPod.  If I left off the Smart Playlist, the iPod worked perfectly with all my other music and podcasts.  The problem of turning off and on repeatedly completely resolved.

    Try unchecking your Smart Playlists or going one by one through your Playlists to see if you have the same luck.

    Best, Martha

    Same! I couldn't figure it out! Trial and error got me to same conclusion. I copied all the songs from the smart playlist that are "hearted" to a regular one and synced it over. And hey, it now works like a charm. Hopefully apple with release a fix for that.
