Is there something wrong with my ipod?

Question

i received an ipod this past christmas but i haven't downloaded any songs onto it yet. i was charging my ipod with the plug connected to the computer and my mom disconnected the plug without ejecting it first and now my ipod only lights up when connected to the charging cord but does not move up or down or select anything. i think turning off the computer while it's still plugged in is messing it up too. so now that my ipod's unplugged it won't do anything at all. my friend says that i should check the warranty and go to the apple store. what do you think?

Answer 1

You need to restore your ipod (you can find out how to do that from your manual),  Its not a big deal but try resetting it first.

To reset iPod mini, iPod mini (Second Generation), iPod photo, and iPod (Click Wheel)

Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)

Press and hold the Menu and Select(center button) buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.

Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button (center button) is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.

Answer 2

first restart the iPod by holding down the center and menu buttons until the apple logo appears then let go and see if that worked. If it doesn't restore your iPod. This shouldn't be an issue for you if you don't have any songs on your iPod. This should fix it. If it doesn't I would go to the apple store and see what they can do
