Sounds like your battery is not taking a charge, I know it shows full with you plug it in. Try plugging it into a wall socket for a few hours and see if the iPod will work on battery power.

I have a iPod 2nd generation and it will not charge or connect to itunes
I have a iPod 2nd generation and it will not charge or connect to itunes, I have tried pressing the power button and home botton together and nothing happened.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic. -
I have an iPod 2nd Generation and it won't show up in iTunes
So I got a new laptop and I wante to transfer my music from my iPod onto it, so I plugged it in the new laptop. I accidentally clicked that it was okay for all of my music to be erased, which is not what I wanted to do.
Anyway, so I figured that I could just hook my iPod up to my old computer (which is a dinosaur and barely functioning) and get the music back onto my iPod. But it said to get all of it on there, I had to download the latest version of iTunes which I ha not done since probably 2008.
After I downloaded the newest version, i hooked my iPod into the comuter, and it began syncing. It had been on step one of the syncing proess all day (approx. 8 hours) and it wasnt moving, so I unhooked it, thinking something was wrong, and that I would try again.
Ever sice then, Windows would recognize that my iPod was plugged in and ask to transfer my pictures to Microsoft Word, but iTunes did not register that my iPod was plugged in..
HELP!!
thanksIt already restored on my new compuer, so now it's completely wiped.
But when I plug it into my old computer it's only registering when I put it into recovery mode, and then it won't let me recover it because of a network probem ot being secure, so it is telling me to try again later.
It says "The iPod software update server could not be contacted." -
Can I restore a previous version of itunes??
Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

I have an IPod 2nd generation I bought from a pawn shop. It worked for a day but now when I try to charge it, it keeps switching back and forth from the large full screen icon of a low battery and a lighting bolt below to the blue screen with the apple symbol in the middle. I had it on charge all night but still dead.

DId it happen after you did anything to the iPod or car system like updateing the iPod's iOS?
Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: 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
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod. -
I have an IPod 5th generation and I would like to delete all personal content, and be signed out of my Apple ID as well, but there are apps that no longer exist on the apple store that I would like to keep.
Do this:

Then go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings -
Hi, I have a question about iCloud. I have an ipod 4th generation and im getting a 5th generation. i have lots of games such as subway surfers and temple run 2. I worked and played really hard on earning stuff and have also made in app purchases. Does iCloud save that kind of stuff?
See:
iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
However, not all in-app purchases will transfer to another device. For which ones ill not see:

Hello! So I have a iPod 5th generation, and I just had a recent update, it was for iOS 6.1.3, and now for some reason, I can't get the iOS 7 update. Could anyone help me?
Apple's servers are slammed right now with iOS 7 downloads AND activation requests.
Be patient and try again later. -
I broke my ipod 5 generation ipod and had some pretty important notes on there and it will not start again. I also have an ipod 4th generation and I was wondering if you could use icloud or something to restore my notes on to this ipod. Any ideas?
If you had been syncing notes on your iPod with iCloud before this happened, go to icloud.com and confirm that your notes are still there. If they are, you could either email them to yourself one at a time from icloud.com or you could sign into your icloud account on your other iPad in Settings>iCloud and turn Notes to On to sync them to your other iPod.

My ipod touch headphone jack do not work when I plug in any headphones to it. How do I get to listen on headphones with my IPod touch?
You likely have a problem with the headphone jack. You jhave to ways to listen to music via headphones:
- Get the jack fixed. Here is one place:
DigiExpress.us - The iPad Repair Professionals
However first I wold rule out a software problem by try the following:
Reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults.
The other way is to use bluetooth headhone if you have a 2G or later iPod.
