Hi Erika,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you have an iPod that isn't starting up normally, which needs to be restored or repaired. The article linked below will provide more information about the issue and walk you through possible resolutions.

My iPod Nano is stuck on the Apple logo
My iPod Nano is stuck on the Apple logo. I have reset and restored it multiple times to no avail. When I slide my finger of the scroll wheel I can hear the clicking meaning that it's actually navigating the menus behind that logo, it even plays music. It can enter disk mode and diagnostic mode fine as well. I can't turn it of though, it just get a little darker when the Play button is held. It's a 5G Nano.
What can I do to fix this?If you have an Apple Store, near you, make an appointment to take it to them. If it's not a hardware failure, they may be able to help.

Can someone please help with my issue listed - My ipod 4G wont go past the apple logo when I turn it on - it will stay on the apple logo for few min, then blanks out and back to the apple logo. Tried reset option/troubleshoot several times. Also wont show up on computer at all when I plug in to USB.
Any tips are very much appreciated.Place the iPod Touch into DFU mode. This will be similar to what the factory would do to install the iOS onto new iOS devices.
Placing it into DFU mode will allow you to "format" and install the current iOS for that device.
To place your iOS device into DFU mode.
First connect you iOS device to you computer.
Open iTunes if not already open
Now turn off your iOS device using the power swipe.
Press the home and sleep button on your iOS device for 10 seconds.
Release the sleep button but carry on holding down the home button. For another 10 seconds.
Your iOS device should now be on DFU. Click on restore and iTunes will download the latest iOS for your device.
Hopefully that sorts it if not, you will have to go to a service centre or call Apple Care up and get them to collect it and repair it. (replace it) Or go into an Apple Store. -

- 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 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.

My nano blinks the apple logo when plugged into a charger and will not respond to any reset commands, anyone have experiance with this problem?
By a reset, I assume you meaning pressing and holding both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons (or Volume Down and Sleep/Wake buttons on the 6G Nano) long enough for the Apple logo to appear?
What happens if you try to manually place the iPod into Disk Mode? If you can do that, I would recommend connecting the iPod to iTunes and restoring it.
