Ipod Nano Help with what is possibly wrong!

I will try to explain what has happened in the last 2 days so you can possibly diagnose the problem. Thanks
Yesterday August 10 I plugged my Ipod into an ipod charger I have never used produced by Panasonic. It was a universal attachment for both ipods and cell phones and there where warning labels to connect the USB attachment correctly else it could create reverse polarity. I did not notice the lable when I connected my ipod usb into it and than the other end into my ipod. I was wondering why it wasnt charging and then i noticed the label. I thought that it ruined my ipod right there burning out the circuity. So I decided to plug it into a different ipod FM/Charger adapter to see if it would charge. It did and i was relieved and it charged for about an hour. I listened to it for about 10min than went to bed.
Next day: I did not touch it until later today (august 11) when i noticed it would not turn on. I tryed to charge it with the Panasonic Ipod charger and it did nothing. When I got back home i attached it to the computer via the usual USB cable and tried to charge it and nothing happened and then connected it to an ipod boombox type dock and it allowed me to acess and listen to music. I allowed it to sit there for about 30min to see if it would hold a charge and once i removed it, it had very little charge. I hurried and connected it to my pc and it began to charge through the USB but when I ran a diagonstics check it said that the ipod connection status failed and the ipod did not show up in "my Computer."
So basically I believe that the battery is shot do to the reverse polarity but does anyone know if there is a safety on the ipod since it worked after I did that? Or anything else i should try!
Thanks

do you know what that game was? (the one that uses the motion sensor feature) because though that post was very helpful, i was wondering if there are games that use the motion sensor feature.

Ipod nano help with syncing music to new computer?

I have two ipod nanos, one 6th gen. the other 7th gen, and the laptop I had all the music on and synced from cant be accessed anymore, so how can I get the music onto a different computer and be able to sync new music to them?

Thanks! I did it again using my iPod again. (I couldn't find an external drive large enough)
What am I supposed to do with the iTunes folder that is now on my desktop from the step below:
Copy music to new computer
To copy all your music files (including the library file that holds all your playlists and other settings) to your new computer:
Locate your Music folder (Mac OS X) or your My Music folder (Windows) on your new computer:
Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
Windows: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
Drag the iTunes folder in this location out to the desktop.
Can I just delete that?

4th gen ipod, need help on what has gone wrong...

i have a 4th gen ipod, bought less than a year ago still under warranty. the ipod service site for some reason is having trouble with my billing address for the shipping charges. when i type in my billing address (which is the same as my shipping address), it says "more than one jurisdiction possible (0,0)).
ANYWAY
the problem with my ipod is that, a couple weeks ago, the ipod seemed to not be holding that great of a charge, but no big deal. than it reset itself a couple of times within short periods of usage. then, the ipod will not work without a power source, or when its plugged into an outlet. only when plugged into a usb port. i get the ipod update software, install it, then it tells me to plug the ipod into a wall outlet.
NOW, it cannot be recognized by the computer, no charge, and when i press a button to "wake" it, it just shows me a screen with a picture of a wall outlet. i left it plugged into the outlet all weekend. NOTHING.
oh, and when it would only charge with the usb port, every once in a while the computer would have a pop up that says "the usb hardware you have just plugged in has malfunctioned".
since i am having trouble with the ipod service, suggestions? this sound like a dead battery? if it is, i might take a chance and install it myself so i dont have to wait so long for it to be serviced.
thanks and p.s. i dont proofread my posts (habit)

I purchased an used iPod Nano 4th.with many,many,many songs and albums on it,but when i plugged the usb cable into my laptop(i am a new comer to computer) i thought i was changing the name and thought i was syncing but something went wrong and everything was gone! is there any way possible to get these back? Please I need Help!!! Thank you!

Was the music purchased via your iTunes account and/or did you buy it from other sources or copy it from your own CDs, or did the music belong to the previous owner ? If the music was yours then you can sync it back to the iPod via your computer's iTunes. If the music is not still on your computer then have you got a backup of it ? If not then for iTunes purchases you might be able to re-download it depending on which country you are in. If the music was put on the iPod by the previous owner then you will need to buy your own copies of it.

I've stopped and started the service, and also have performed cold reboots.
Nothing seems to have helped the situation.
Help!

Hello Lisa,
Double check your iPod's sync settings from under it's TV Shows tab in iTunes. Make sure it is not set up to sync only unwatched episodes.

Battery dead on ipod nano (2nd generation) What do I do?

Dead battert on my ipod nano (2nd generation) What do I do? Should I get it replaced or just buy a new one?

You have 1 of three routes if you want to get it replaced. Whether or not it is worth it is entirely up to you.
1) Have Apple replace the battery in it for a flat fee. See this page for pricinghttp://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/ and this page for setting up the service request. http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipod
2) Locate and utiltize a third party service (there may even be some shops/service centers in your area). I have no suggestions as to which one is better than another, so for now you'll have to Google for "iPod battery replacement" and you should get a number of results. This is slightly cheaper than the Apple route although a bit riskier in terms of having the job done right.
3) If you consider yourself handy with small electronics you can purchase a new battery from an online retailer and use one of the numerous guides online to swap it out yourself. I usually stick with http://www.ifixit.com for parts and step-by-step guides. Of course this route is the cheapest, but is the most difficult.

Does anyone know if the new ipod nano come with a camera

Does anyone know if the new ipod nano comes with a camera?

The newest nano is the 7th generation. It does not have a camera. The 8th generation is the next one, for Apple to release whenever they want. We do not know when or what it will have.

Does ipod nano work with ipod photo dock, s-video out?

Does the ipod nano work with the ipod photo dock, with an s-video out? Will apple make one for the nano specifically?

The iPod nano cannot show photos on an external device, I suspect Apple have not built this feature into the hardware. The options for showing to a TV are not in the photo menus either.
