Hi meganisawsome,
If your iPod will not turn on and you are getting indicators that there is no battery left, the first step would be to make sure that the iPod has been charged correctly. You may find the following article useful:
Apple Support: Charging your iPod battery

If you are still having issues after charging, you may want to look at this article:

  • My ipod nano 6th generation will not turn on.

    My iPod nano (6th generation) will not turn on. I have charged it (attached to my computer) for 30 minutes. I have tried to reset it (held down Wake and Volume Down for 8 seconds)- no response. I have factory restored it (through iTunes)- no response. It shows up as connected to my computer and will sync in iTunes, but the display on the iPod will not turn on. Any ideas?

    Hey s.mccarter2010,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you have tried a lot of things and the iPod still will not turn on. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    iPod won't turn on
    If you have tried the solutions above and iPod still won't turn on, check the following:
    Make sure iPod is the only device in your FireWire or USB chain. Disconnect everything but the mouse, keyboard, and your iPod, then see if it will turn on.
    Make sure you are using the FireWire or USB cable that came with your iPod, and that the cable is in good condition.
    Try connecting iPod to the built-in port of a different computer to see if that works. Note: If using a portable computer, make sure it is plugged in to a power source and that the lid or display is open. If the lid is closed the computer may go into either standby, sleep, or hibernation mode and iPod will not charge properly.
    If you still can't turn iPod on after performing these steps, it may need to be repaired. You can arrange for repair at the iPod Service Website.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,

  • Ipod Nano 6th Generation will not turn on.

    My brother bought my mother the new Ipod Nano 6th Gen as a gift yesterday. We plugged in to charge (like the instruction booklet says) and found the Ipod wasn't turning on. Everything on the computer and syncing side works. We managed to register the Ipod and everything like that but when it comes to controlling the actual Ipod, it doesn't seem to be working.
    I have tried resetting (Volume Down Button + Sleep/Awake Button) it but still nothing.
    The repairing Ipod has been cast on me which is unfortunate because my mother doesn't take things breaking very well and I would rather sort it out for myself than have to hike up to my nearest Apple Store for the Genius Bar to look at it.
    I would like to know if this is a problem with the screen or with the actual power in the ipod.
    The tiniest of help and I would be very greatful. thanks,
    Ross Jordan.
    ps. it has been charging for a good 3/4 hours now.

    If you do a restore on it from itunes on your computer and it still does not work....then it's a defective unit and you'll have to take it in for an exchange.
    Try to restore first before taking it in.
    Here is how you do it:

  • My iPod Nano 6th generation will not turn on when off of the a power source. I've tried to restore it, but that didn't work. Any suggestions?

    I also tried holding the sleep/power button along with the minus button to reset it and that did not work either. Any help would be great, thanks.

    If you update the iPod software to the latest version (1.1) you should be able to power off the iPod. If that doesn't work especially since you restored it's most likely a hardware issue with the iPod. If so, contact AppleCare or visit an Apple Retail Store so they can setup a repair for you.

  • IPod Nano 7th Generation will not turn on

    My 10 month old iPod Nano 7th Generation will not turn on - all of a sudden.
    All songs on the device have disappeared.
    Shows in iTunes - even shows as having a fully charged battery.
    Holding Home Button and Sleep/Wake button down, even for a long time, doesn't help.
    Have changed USB ports, from computer to AC powered USB charging station.
    Help?

    Just saw elsewhere on the forum to press and hold the power and home buttons and it fixxed it for me

  • Nano 6th generation will not turn on but works when plugged in to itunes?

    My son got a nano 6th generation for christmas 2010 and brought it to me the other day because the screen would not turn on. I plugged it into itunes and it was there, all songs were still on it. I tried to trouble shoot the device after unplugging it by holding down the negative volume button and the sleep button for 10 seconds. I repeated the steps but nothing happened. I plugged it back into itunes and restored the device to original settings. Still no display. Will Apple exchange the device if it has not been 12 months since date of purchase? Please advise. I am at a loss.!

    Since your iPod is still under the 1 year warranty against manufacturer defects, I would take it in to your local Apple Store/Genius bar and see if they'll replace it, which they should as long as they determine the cause its not from accidental damage or use.

  • My iPod nano 5th generation will not turn on or charge. What is going on??

    Yesterday, after listening to my iPod, I forgot to lock it and it died. When I tried to charge it, however, the screen would not even light up. I then connected it to my computer just to see what it would do (I have a wall charger) and my computer recognized it but itunes did not. The screen stayed black. Do I need a new battery, or is something else going on?

  • What do you do when your ipod nano 4th generation will not turn on even if you charge it?

    i have a 4th generation ipod nano and it died so i tried charging it for an hour and it wouldn't turn back on. then i connected it to my computer and it would not even turn on or show up on my computer. What do i do?

    You could try taking it to a Mac store and see what they have to say, but it might just be dead.
