Howdy Lumagofe,
I was thinking that you may need to reset the iPod Nano, outlined here How to reset iPod http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down button simultaneously for at least eight seconds or until the Apple logo appears. You may need to repeat this step.
If the above step did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.
If that doesn't quite get the iPod going again, then it will need to be restored. Use this article to help with that Restoring iPod to factory settings http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1339.
All the very best,

I am assuming you are using a Windows computer - iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes

I have a new Ipod Nano 7th Generation. When I plug the earphones in, there is no sound coming from the earphones, even thought the Ipod shows the song as playing. Any solutions?
And the Radio app probably doesn't work either.
The headphone jack on the nano is very tight when new. Push the jack all the way in, the plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the nano. -

My iphone 5 wont let me update apps keeps popping up with old apple id how do i fix this
my iphone 5 wont let me update apps keeps popping up with old apple id how do i fix this??
All apps downloaded/purchased are tied to the apple ID used to download/purchase them.
If you change your Apple ID and do not wish to use the old apple ID and password to update them, you have to delete them and redownload or buy them under the new apple ID. -
IPod Nano 5th generation and iTunes library
Any way to get songs on my iPod Nano 5th generation into my iTunes library? Sync doesn't work.
Lost a lot of my iTunes library recently due to a sync mistake. (I know, I'm an idiot.) Much/most of the same music is still on my iPod Nano. But something tells me Apple doesn't want me to get it back into my library so I have to buy it all over again...? Would a tech at Apple store be able to do something for me?
Not optimistic.Hello lilooloool,
To get music off your iPod nano, you can transfer anything that was purchased from the iTunes Store. You can also just download any purchased songs from the iTunes Store as well without having to sync. Take a look at the article below for steps on how to do either option.

Ipod nano 5th generation freezes when trying to play a song or video
Within the last couple of day my ipod nano 5th generation started freezing whenever i tryed to play a song. Oly way i could turn it off was by resetting it, however it did not fix the problem and still freezes whenever i try to play a song. I have even restored it to factory setting and it does the exact same thing. I don't understand why it does this, does anyone know why it freezes and won't stop? i don't have any warrenty on it and want to know if it is fixable, because it just randomly started freezing when trying to play music. If any one knows why it would be appriacted to know.
Does this happen with any song or video you play? If so, then my best guess would be a hardware issue since a restore to factory settings did not resolve it.

I can turn off the device naturally. But when i turn it on it shows all white with black lines and different colors. Is my LCD screen broken? If it is, can apple fix it?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not covered by warranty
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.

Pretty much I have a song on my iPod 5th gen nano that doesn't wanna play, its just one song every other song works. I click it and it show the thing when a song is about to play but then it instantly goes back to where you click on the song. And when I click on it in the songs list it skips immediately to the next song on the list. I have tried restoring my iPod but the song still won't work I've also tried removing the song from the library and the putting it back on iTunes but still no luck. What do you guys suggest I do?
Can you play the song in iTunes?
If you can't the song file is probably corrupt and needs to be replaced. -
After updating my OS to Yosemite 10.10.1 some of my photos will not display. All of the previews will be there but when I click to open them they open up larger for a second and then the screen goes black and I get a grey apostrophe sign. I updated iPhoto to 9.6 (910.29) and also repaired my permissions. The problem still exists. Can anyone help me? I also have issues with iTunes but that's another story.
According to the link I provided it could still have its logging service running. Did you read the info in the link I provided? You can check it by launching Activity Monitor and under CPU search for cleanup.
Since the photos are in the library I don't see the need at this time to reinstall iPhoto. Maybe later. Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox. -
The Ipod shows up in Itunes as "Window's Ipod" but won't let me manually sync through devices or restore. I can't seem to click on the "window's Ipod box to cjange it back to "my Ipod" either. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes and used different USB ports and still no change.

Question says it all!
You really can't. However, you can create a new playlist and add whole albums at a time to it and then when you play it back, be sure that the shuffle is not enabled and then you can hear whole albums from a certain genre in album order
