Apple iPod nano 4th Generation Problem

[ACWWFAN]

I have the iPod nano that came before the newest one. Today while I was listening to it, it randomly turned off. I tried turning it back on and nothing worked. When I got home, I plugged it into my computer, hoping it was just dead and the screen didn't come, and my iPod didn't come up in iTunes either. It did come up in the My computer folder, but it is no longer named "Grant's iPod", it's just called removable hard disk g or whatever. When I click on the icon, nothing shows up (like it's empty). It then disappears as quick as it showed up. I realize I probably won't be able to salvage my songs, but can I at least salvage my iPod? Help?

Have you tried doing a hard reset on the ipod itself?

Click on the "How to reset an iPod with a Click Wheel".

That worked! Thanks!
