Q: iPod Nano 7th Gen Won't Turn On

I was just listening to music and I turn off the bluetooth speaker that I was listening to the music on. So when I go to see my iPod, I notice it won't turn on. I've tried everything. Holding all the buttons at once, holding home button and lock button and still nothing. Please help! I've already had trouble with this iPod before. I don't want to lose all my music from the iPod AGAIN! My iPod is a 2012 model if that helps. Please Help!!!

iPod nano, 2012 Model

    You need to keep all of your songs stored in your iTunes library, on your computer.  Then, even if your iPod is lost or breaks, you won't lose your music.  (And then, back up your iTunes library data on the computer, so you won't lose your music, even if your computer breaks or needs to be wiped.)

     

    What happens when you connect it to USB on your computer?  Does anything appear on the iPod's screen?  If so, what appears on the iPod's screen?

    Well first, I am connecting to a mac. And when I plug my iPod into my laptop, it says connected and it syncs and everything. But I left my iPod plugged in for about 10 hours in a wall outlet and nothing. And I tested unplugging my iPod from my laptop a few moments ago and it showed a dead battery sign for about half a second and completely shut off again. So, I connected my iPod again and it still works fine but as soon as I unplug it, it shuts off. Do you have any suggestions or diagnostics? And i am using the cord that came with the iPod. And all my music is saved in my iTunes Media Library.

    thank you Kenichi Watanabe sooooo much!!!! Your idea of connecting it to the computer somehow turned it back on and now its charging on the wall outlet.
