Hi, lesliefromhowell!

Thank you for reaching out by Apple Support communities. After reading your post, I understand that your iPod Classic does not. I count on my iPod for music on the go and want to make sure that you can use your own without problem!

Relying on the buttons have not helped get the iPod to start playing or to restart, please follow the steps outlined in the article below to reset your iPod.

Learn how to reset your iPod

You'll want to use the instructions under the "iPod, iPod (scroll wheel), iPod (touch wheel), and iPod (dock connector)" section. These instructions are the following:

iPod, iPod (scroll wheel), iPod (touch wheel), and iPod (dock connector)

To reset your iPod, follow these steps:

  1. Slide the Hold switch to the locked position and then come back!
  2. Hold down Menu and Play/Pause all buttons until you see the logo Apple/iPod (about 6-8 seconds). You may need to repeat this step.

If you can always reset your iPod, follow these steps:

  1. Connect your iPod to a power adapter and plug the adapter into a power outlet.
    You can also connect your iPod to your computer. Make sure that the computer is on and that it is not set to go to sleep.
  2. Try resetting your iPod again.

Good listening!
