1 iPod Nano 3rd generation and 2 user accounts on Mac Mini

My husband and I share our Mac Mini and we log in under separate user
names. He is the administrator for the computer. My problem started
when I initially purchased Phase and I could not upload it to my
iPod Nano 3rd generation. So in an effort to demonstrate the problem I had my husband log
in to the Mac Mini under his user name and then logged into the
iTunes store using my account information and bought Scrabble. He was
able to upload Phase to the iPod but then when I logged into my user
name on the Mac Mini and went to the iTunes store I could only see
Scrabble (not Phase) and in order to download it I was forced to sync
my Games on the iPod which overwrote the Phase game. So now I only
have Scrabble on my iPod and I can't see Phase in my iTunes account.
How do I remedy this?

Hello HernanOtt,
Depends on where you have it serviced.  Here are Apple's repair quotes.

You would probably save a lot of money by having a 3rd party repair company do the job for you instead.  Just do a simple Google search for iPod repair and you'll get a plethora of results.

  • Im trying to sync photos from my mac to my iPod nano 3rd generation, and an error keeps coming up that says "format could not be converted". How do I fix this?

    Hi newipoduser,
    Here are some possible solutions:
    Do you use musicmatch jukebox on your computer? If you do, you have to go into task manager on windows and end process mim.exe. It interferes with disconnecting ext devices
    Empty your "trash/recycle bin."
    If that doesn't work, try quitting all your programs, especially music-type programs, basically things that look for mp3's etc.
    if that doesn't work, "log off" then "log on" and that should refresh/purge your OS system.
    Finally, you can restart your computer.
    Hope one of these helps!
    Cheers,

  • HT1329 i have a ipod nano 3rd generation and my iphone 3gs on the same computer if i move my ipod nano to my laptop and i move all my music to from my iphone to my ipod nano

    i have a ipod nano and a iphone 3gs on the same computer. Can i put my ipod nano on my laptop and put my iphone songs on my ipod nano?

    You can put the songs that on your iPhone onto your Nano as long as these songs are located in the iTunes library on the laptop.  If they are not you will not be able to sync them to the Nano and you will not be able to copy them directly from the iPhone to the Nano.

  • I have an iPod nano 3rd generation and it won't turn on, I plug it into it's charger and it won't turn on, please help!!

    my ipod won't turn on! i've had it for a while , i just haven't come to use it for the past couple of years. i've tried charging it but it won't turn on. i don't know how to fix it. helpppp! please!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.

  • Connecting an iPod nano (3rd generation) to Windows Vista

    I have purchased an iPod nano (3rd generation) and I tried to connect it via USB to a Windows Vista Enterprise Laptop. Even though the iPod is connected (as it appears on the iPod screen), Windows fails to locate the driver to install it. I have tried several articles found in the discussions forum, reseting the iPod nano, re-installing iTunes, and rebooting Vista, but no solution given.
    Please advise.
    Thanks

    Have not been able to connect to iTunes for months, right about the time Microsoft put out the Zune! Would love to hear from a lawyer about a class action lawsuit againat Apple since this issue has not been resolved and we are required to use iTunes. In the meantime, filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission!

  • I am getting rid of my Ipod Nano 3rd Generation.  How do I delete my name and make sure all personal info is gone?

    I was able to restore my Ipod Nano 3rd Generation back to factory settings, but the ipod is still personalized with my name.  How do I remove or change that?  And, how can I be sure all music, personal info is completely gone because I am giving it to someone?

    There is a rather large database in Apple Support for all iPod Nano models, though
    a quick look through did not provide a simple direct answer to the question of how
    to prepare an iPod Nano for a new owner, or for a new user; also to de-personalize
    the product so it would not be locked or broken.
    •iPod Nano - How To - Apple Support: (main)
    https://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/how-to/
    This kind of question comes up in similar form across most iDevice sections; usually
    after someone has bought or was given one, and it won't work. At least you are in
    the right track, to try & clear it ahead of a problem, so a new owner can use it.
    Be sure to deauthorize the unit in the process of removing your identification from it;
    and also check to see how the AppleID affects the next owner experience. It will.
    There should be a way to accomplish most of this within iTunes from a Mac.
    Rather again, too general:

  • I still have my iPod Nano 3rd generation, but my old computer crashed and I did not have itunes backed up, so I lost my library. Is there a way to get the songs from my old ipod to new computer library and then on to the new ipod?

    Save all the photos from your Droid into a folder on your computer.
    Connect your device to your computer. On iTunes left Pane, select iPhone under 'Devices'; then on the right Pane, select PHOTO tab.  Make sure Sync Photo box is checked, and "from" box selected the folder that has Droid's photos.  Then click the SYNC or APPLY button on the lower right window.

  • TS3716 I have an iPod nano (3rd generation). I've recently dowloaded iCloud. So now when I open iTunes the window is entirely different. And I don't have the previous menu options. I have downloaded audiobooks for years. Is it not supported by iOS5?

    Can I revert back to a previous version? Or must I upgrade to a newer device? Thank you for you expertise!!

  • Does the iPod nano 3rd Generation charge and sync in an iPhone 3G Dock?

    I wanna bye an iPhone 3G Dock. Now I have the question if I can connect my iPod nano 3rd Generation to the new dock for syncing and charging. On Apples homepage is the campatibility status set to only iPhone 3G, but I question this because older docks, like the one for the old iPod Photo works with other iPods as well.
    The dock connector on the iPhone 3G dock seems to be the same as the one on the charging cable and that cable has to be inserted in the dock. So why should it not work?
    I know I could bye the iPhone 3G cradle for the universal dock I already have, but I want to have the ability to make speakerphone conversations with the iPhone in the dock. That only works well with the original iPhone 3G dock.
    Can someone help me?

    Bit late on the old reply, but i'm using a different Apple Dock for my Nano. I have the Universal one,but it looked so big for the little Nano. I stumbled across an iPhone one by mistake, but only cost me £7 delivered, brand new.
    So in answer to your question, yes. And it enables me to get a skin on the iPod and still use the dock...

  • Using Apple Earphones with Mic and Remote with Ipod Nano (3rd generation)

    Hi, I'm just wondering if there is any way i can make the Ipod Nano(3rd generation) compatible with the Apple Earphones with Mic and Remote. I know on the box it says the earphones are only compatible with a few ipods, like the 4th generation ipod nano. But Is there any program i can download or use to allow the ipod to recognize the earphone remote and mic?
    Thanks a lot.

    I'm quite convinced the answer is no for that Apple mic.
    I do believe recording is possible on the Nano 3G with the right attachment. But I don't think the sound comes through the headphone jack the way they do on the nano 4G and iPhone 3G/touch.
    This review http://www.macworld.com/article/60004/2007/09/3gipodnano.html says it's possible, but when I look at "Belkin, Griffin Technology, and XtremeMac" I don't find much... doesn't sound like they worked very well ... the iKaraoke is compatible

  • I have ran the diagnostics test on iTunes and iPod.  The diagnostic says there is an iPod, it is identified with the correct name, but it says there is no sync ability.  What can I do?  iPod nano 3rd generation.  All updates are current.

    It had not been used for awhile and most of the songs that were on there were gone when I turned it on.  I was trying to sync to update the library.

    Weeks, months, years?  It's possible your battery is dying.  Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • Ipod nano 3rd generation doesn't play music and doesn't synchronize with itunes

    I have a ipod nano 3rd generation ( 8 GB) and it suddenly stopped playing music. The ipod doesn't  play music even if I choose another song and the ipod doesn't synchronize with itunes anymore. I did a reset of the ipod and I installed itunes new but the synchronization doesn't works.

    Get a flashlight and make sure there is no obstruction/dirt/debris in the Nano headphone jack. Be sure you plug the headphones all the way in, the plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the Nano.
