Ipod nano will not display anything, will not charge, will not turn on/off/reset and will not show in itunes

my ipod nano 5th generation stopped working not long ago
i was sitting down, just listening until a song in the middle of an album ended and none played afterwards
i went to look to see what had happened but nothing would display; it was just a black screen
i was confused so i started to hit the menu button to see if it had just went to sleep or something
i could hear the noises that the buttons make when you push them, but the screen stayed black
i went to see if it would charge (via dock/stereo charger), but nothing showed up
i then tried plugging it in (via cord) to the computer and still nothing; it would not even recognize my ipod in itunes
my itunes is completely up to date and worked with my ipod even just a few days ago, so that shouldn't be the problem
i've tried to reset, restore, and etc., but nothing seems to get it to turn on
it seems like i might not be able to fix it, but is there any way i can see my files (music) on the ipod so if i have to get a new one i remember what to put on it?
help, please ~

    The wish list only works on apps you have to pay for. To get it tap the icon of the app you want to save. After it opens at the upper right corner is a box with a arrow. Tap that then tap add to wish list list in the box that opens.

  • My Ipod Touch iOs5 will not update apps, I did reset and still not work

    My Ipod Touch will not update apps.  The apps that need updates are frozen.  I select update it says installing or waiting. The app is shaded and not able to use until I can update.  I did reset but still not updating.  What else can I do?

    Thanks.  I updated my ipod touch but more importantly I had to specifically request to sync my apps.  Once I synced my apps from  my ibook, TED and other apps are highlighted back to normal. I will use fewer apps less updates to deal with.  Computers are quite a pain with all the constant updates to install.

  • How can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

    how can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

    Yes, you can add your own videos to iTunes, then sync them to your nano, subject to supported max resolution limit and file type.  The specs for the 7th gen nano says (I don't know which nano model you have), Video Format Support
    "H.264 video: 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Baseline, Main, and High-Profile level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 Mbps, 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats"
    http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/specs.html
    (earlier nanos have lower max resolution limits)
    So, "HD" video is too high resolution, so iTunes will not sync such videos to the iPod (although they play in iTunes).  If you are asking how to set up iTunes to sync videos in general (regardless of source), please post back.

  • HT5429 maps on iphone 5 do not display anything

    Hi everyone. I recently bought a new iPhone 5 and I have a serious problem with my maps app. It does not display anything I search except the grid lines and pins. please help how can I fix it.  pls send the instructions at [email protected] Thank you in advance.

    It is not a good idea to put any kind of personal contact information in such a public forum.
    First, close the maps app. Double click the home button.  At the bottom, press and hold any app until a red circle appears on the top of each.  Tap the red circle on the Maps app.  Next, reset the phone:  press and hold the power and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the red slider if it appears.

  • 4s will not charge until battery dead. Tried reset and powering off.

    4s will not charge until battery dead. Tried reset and powering off.

    Inspect the charging port area for dirt/debris/fluff build-up that may be preventing a good connection and use a wooden toothpick, soft clean toothbrush, or a can of compressed air to clean it. Also look for bent or broken pins. Try another cable and/or charger block (be sure to always use a genuine Apple certified brand) in a known good outlet. If you're using a USB port, try another port. If you're using a hub, try a direct connection. If you're using a USB port in the front of a desktop computer, try one in the back. If all these fail, make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar to have the device evaluated.

    We need specific confirmation otherwise steps may be missed & nothing is resolved.
    We also need to know about what tones you hear on startup - are you hearing the normal startup tone or something else?
