iPods usually charge within 2-4 hrs. If yours is taking longer or not charging at all the battery needs to be replaced.

I found the solution to this problem:

To get your iPod Nano 3rd Generation (4GB video) to be recognized by your computer, you will need to manually get it into "Disk Mode" here's how:

1. Verify that it has a full charge, if not, you need to either charge the iPod before continuing or connect it to a high-powered USB port, or simply connect it to the Power Adapter that plugs into an electrical outlet. (just not connected to your computer)
2. Toggle the Hold switch on and off once. (Set it to Hold, and then turn it off again. Just slide back and forth.)
3. Press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons at the same time for at least 6 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
4. When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select (center) buttons and immediately press and hold the Select (center) and the Play/Pause buttons until the ‘Disk Mode’ screen appears.
5. Disconnect your iPod from the power adapter and connect it to your computer;
6. Now the screen on the iPod will change and say "Do not disconnect" and should be recognized by your computer.

I hope this helps you; I had a hard time finding a solution and thought I'd share the wealth once my stress was relieved.

Hi, If you are using a desktop computer, try charging your ipod by connecting it to the USB ports at the rear of the computer.. and charge it for atleast for 5 to 8 hrs...

Then you can try using your Ipod..

By pressing the center button and the menu button the same time and holding it for around 6-10 seconds, your device should turn on. You then should be able to access your files and charge your ipod.

Try these options i got them from apple when my ipod dident work trying a new port and reinstalling itunes worked for me 1)Reset your iPod. 2)Retry with a different USB or FireWire port. 3)Restart your computer and make sure you have the latest software updates installed. 4)Remove iTunes software and then reinstall iTunes software from latest versions on the web. last resort 5)Restore your iPod.
