Nano ma.lfunction
Hello tacole,
I would be concerned as well if my iPod nano was not responsive. I found a resource that I think would help in a situation like this.
I recommend following the steps in this troubleshooting assistant for your iPod nano model if possible:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

Ipod nano keeps turning on and off
My ipod nano keeps turning off and on automatically and when I push a button once its on then it freezes, and when I reset it then it starts turning on and off again....what do I do someone please help me
Hello Mo0nangel,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
First, try updating the iPod software. Follow the steps in this article:
Updating iPod software
If the problem persists, you may have to restore your iPod:
Restoring iPod to factory settings
Unfortunately, restoring will wipe your nano clean of all songs and photos.

Hey saintbless,
Thanks for the question. The following article outlines troubleshooting information for iPod nano. While it mostly refers to the 6th generation, most steps apply for your model as well:

Will not turn on or screen remains dark
- Connect iPod to power for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has enough charge to allow iPod to turn on.
- If iPod does not turn on after ten minutes, try resetting the device while it is still connected to power. Reset the iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button for at least eight seconds or until you see the Apple logo appear.
- If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
- If the screen remains dark and will not turn on, then your iPod may need service.
Thanks,

Hi,
I got the same problem, I just got it last night and charged it for more than 3 hours but with the same problem -
Why does my nano keep turning off and on when it is connected to my computer?
When i connect my nano to my computer the nano says that it is connected and nothing happens in Itunes. Then when the nano keeps turning off and on while it is plugged into my computer. What can i do to make itunes recognize my nano so i can add new music?
Please try the following:
Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.) -

Hello JD_NINJA,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Error 9006 when restoring your iOS device indicates that there is security software on your computer which is preventing connection to the Apple server or your device. To troubleshoot this issue please follow the directions below.
Check your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can stop your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't blocking a connection to the Apple servers.

I have an iPod Nano v4 or 5 and when I connect it to my Hyundai Santa Fe I get an iPod Loading error message. The cable works with the dealer's iPod which is a newer model. The cable came with the car when I purchased it. Please advise. Thanks.
Hi Bander Bunny!
I have a couple of articles that should be able to help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. You may want to try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes first. This has to be done in a specific manner, and this article can help you do that:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
Another option is that you may want to try syncing your iPod nano manually. Here's is an article that pertains to manually managing the content of your iPod nano:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
It's also possible that this issue resides with your iPod nano. Here is a website that will help you troubleshoot the iPod nano:

When I turn on my MacBook Pro and when I am at the login screen, the background is white rather than steel gray. What is wrong and how can I fix it?
It turns out that iCloud caused this issue. When I turned iCloud off my login screen was completely normal.

I jailbreaked my iPhone 5 and now i don't want the jailbreak any more so i restored the iphone without iTunes and then it turned it self off and now its stuck on the black screen with the loading sign. So please how can i turn my iPhone on again?
I figured it out by pressing the home button and the off button but when i turn my phone on again it's not restored. And when i try to restore it with iTunes it has to update but i can't update my phone because it's jailbreaked but if i can't update it, it won't restore the phone.
