Help! Ipod nano is completely frozen and nothing works!

Two days ago my ipod completely froze. I tried to reset it but when I plugged it into my computer it said that the device has malfunctioned? ***?!? I cant do anything to it. when I toggle the hold button the little lock symbol doesnt even show up. I tried plugging it into my ihome but that didnt do anything. I cant turn it off and the back light doesnt come on. The battery still hasnt died and its been 2 days I have no idea what to do. Ive tried plugging it into my laptop and my friends computers but it still says the same thing

i have a 2nd gen nano 4GB,
my daughter has 1st gen nano 1GB.
i've been trying to reset?, restore?, get her's to work.
i charged it overnight on my iHome2go. (plugged in computer, i couldn't tell if it was charging.)
i have two USB cords for both iPods, both cords work with my (2nd gen) nano. i have reviewed all? the different steps to get her's working. i don't believe it's a computer or an iTunes prob. 2nd gen nano is charging and syncing just fine.
her screen had the apple on it before i did the reset steps. when i hit both buttons the apple disappeared. now there is nothing on the screen and no way to know if the battery is charged or if it's working at all. thanks for any help,

    Hi Goofy Goat,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you have done some great troubleshooting for your iPod nano that is not responding. In this situation, if resetting it did not resolve, I would suggest restoring the iPod back to its factory settings and then sync your content back onto it from iTunes. Please use the following article as a resource for restoring.

  • Help -- iPod Nano loses charge quickly and won't start up

    When I don't use the iPod for a few days and then try to start it up, it won't turn on at all. The only way I can get it to work is to connect it to the computer. It also seems to lose its charge quickly. I sent it back to have it checked out and I was told it worked fine, but I continue to have the same problems. I'm stuck. Any suggestions? Would Restore help?

    A restore may help.
    How are you trying to turn it on though?

  • I updated my itunes for my ipad while connected to my computer.  now my ipad shows only the itunes logo, an arrow, and a usb cord.  it is frozen and nothing works, HELP!

    I updated my itunes for my Ipad while connected to my computer.  Now my ipad is frozen on an iTunes logo, an arrow, and a usb cord.  Nothing seems to fix it.  What can I do.  All my business calander, etc is stored on my Ipad.  HELP!

    I don't fully understand what the System Reset does but I've found that it cures many ills.  It's easy, quick and harmless:
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
    A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.

  • Please Help, my CC isn't connecting and nothing worked!

    Hello,
    The title sums it up...
    It is impossible for me to load anything but the CC desktop app.
    I can't connect my device to any of the servers ( such as "ccmdld.adobe.com 443", and so on) and no one can tell me how I could fix this.
    Normal I'm browsing over VPN, to avoid the school proxy, but even at home, where my internet is faster than the howl School net combined, it didn't work.
    Could you Help me?!
    The Error-Massage (by "App") is:
    "Download failure"
    "Try to reinstall"
    But ten times install, deinstall, clean and redo is enough!
    Please Help!
    And please do it in such a way that even the Dumbest guys can understood these... So it would be easy to follow.
    Thanks a lot
    and best greetings
    Lukas M.

    Lukas have you utilized the steps listed in Error "Failed to Install" Creative Cloud Desktop application to reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop application?  If so then I would recommend reviewing Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later for details on how to resolve connection errors.

  • I have "well this is embarassing" and then nothing - frozen and nothing works

    all I get is the "well this is embarassing . . . " message and a rotating circle comes up where my mouse should be pointing - no Firefox bar across the top - just this damed circle

    A possible cause is that you are first closing all Firefox windows and then close the Firefox application.
    Some have reported that closing Firefox (Firefox > Quit) while the browser window is still open works for them.
    *Bug 845681 - Closing all windows and quitting Firefox afterwards leads to about:sessionrestore to be shown on next startup

  • My iphone 3g is completely frozen and wont turn on, help!

    My iphone is completely frozen and will not turn off.  It was working just fine then completely shut off and is now not responding.  I tried holding just the top button, then the top button and home button together... nothing!  HELP!

    Try a Hard Reset.
    - hold down the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time
    - the phone will turn off and the apple logo will appear
    - once you see the apple logo release both buttons
    Hope this helps

    My Ipod nano says its locked and screens on and it's staying frozen.  I have tried pressing the menu and select button simultaneously and still not reset.  What should I do?

    Right click on the iPod Nano icon.  "Eject" should pop up.  At least that is the way it works on Macs.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
    They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

    My paper work for my linksys says WEP 64 bits. I've tried changing my IPOD to that and it will say put in password and when I do I get "invalid password" or can not connect. This has been in the last few weeks. I have researched this for the last 2 weeks, called apple and they said it's not my IPOD, called Linksys and they want to charge $30 to fix it. How do I change my router without totaly not messing it up?
