I have a ipod 3rd generation and it does not show up on my desktop or in itunes

I have an ipod 3rd gen and it wont show up on my desk top or in itunes. help please.

This is an iPod shuffle 3rd gen?  I realize this forum category is for the shuffle, but sometimes people post in the wrong category, so I want to confirm your iPod is not a 3rd gen iPod "classic" or 3rd gen iPod nano...
Assuming it's a 3rd gen shuffle (the one with no control buttons on the shuffle), are you using the USB cable that came with it?  There are third-party replacement cables that will fit, but if it's made for the 2nd gen shuffle, it will not work with a 3rd (or 4th) gen shuffle.  The connector is different.

  • I have a iPod 2nd generation and it will not charge or connect to itunes

    I have a iPod 2nd generation and it will not charge or connect to itunes, I have tried pressing the power button and home botton together and nothing happened.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Also:
    - See:

    - Try another cable
    - Try another charging source
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.

  • TS1382 I have a ipod classic 160GB and it's not showing any music anymore, but there is still 7GB of memory being used, and I don't have it back up on my itunes, since I had to put a new hard drive on my computer. Any suggestion to find out whats on that

    I have a ipod classic 160GB and it's not showing any music anymore, but there is still showing 7GB of memory being used, and I don't have it backed up on my itunes, since I had to put a new hard drive on my computer. Any suggestion to find out whats on that memory or to get it the music back, there is approximately over 1400 songs on it?

    What is the memory being used by, is it Other? If it is, that means the iPod can no longer read the music, so it has put it all in "Other".
    The usual fix for this is to allow the iPod to Sync with its iTunes Library. If that doesn't work, the next option is to Restore the iPod using the Restore command in iTunes, on the Device/Summary pane.
    Unless you are very (very) lucky, I suspect that you are going to have to Restore your iPod. Restoring will remove everything form the iPod and put back onto it only what it finds in your iTunes Library, which you say is currently empty.
    If you have to rebuild your Library after this issue, by adding all the music back again, this is going to be hard to hear, but for the future, you may want to consider always having a backup of your library. The easiset way to back the Library up is;
    if the Library is small enough, burn it to a DVD, as digital files, not a "music CD".
    If your Library is too large for a DVD, buy yourself an external hard drive and copy the Library onto the drive. Remember to update the backup every so often.

  • How come the song and album does not show up on top of the new iTunes?

    I just downloaded the new iTunes and when I go to play a song, the title and album does not show up on the top of the screen.  The only thing that is there is the Apple logo.  Does anyone know why this is? and how can I get it to show the song title and album.
    The song is playing right now, but it is not showing up where it used to.  (Where the Apple logo is)

  • I have an iPod 2nd Generation and it won't show up in iTunes

    So I got a new laptop and I wante to transfer my music from my iPod onto it, so I plugged it in the new laptop.  I accidentally clicked that it was okay for all of my music to be erased, which is not what I wanted to do.
    Anyway, so I figured that I could just hook my iPod up to my old computer (which is a dinosaur and barely functioning) and get the music back onto my iPod.  But it said to get all of it on there, I had to download the latest version of iTunes which I ha not done since probably 2008. 
    After I downloaded the newest version, i hooked my iPod into the comuter, and it began syncing.  It had been on step one of the syncing proess all day (approx. 8 hours) and it wasnt moving, so I unhooked it, thinking something was wrong, and that I would try again.
    Ever sice then, Windows would recognize that my iPod was plugged in and ask to transfer my pictures to Microsoft Word, but iTunes did not register that my iPod was plugged in..
    HELP!!
    thanks

    It already restored on my new compuer, so now it's completely wiped. 
    But when I plug it into my old computer it's only registering when I put it into recovery mode, and then it won't let me recover it because of a network probem ot being secure, so it is telling me to try again later.
    It says "The iPod software update server could not be contacted."

  • I want to uninstall firefox but it tells me i need to close it i have checked on taskl manager and firefox does not show as being open. I have Windows 7 OS

    I have Windows 7 OS on my desktop. I had trouble with IE9 loading a shoutbox in a Carers Forum I belong to. I loaded Firefox and it allowed me to use the shoutbox okay. But when I tried to access the games aracade it told I needed to download Adobe Flashplayer (the games play okay on IE9). I tried to download Adobe Flashplayer and it downloaded halfway, then told me I needed to close Firefox for the download to continue. I have made sure that it was closed by checking Task Manager to see which applciations were open. I get the same message if I try to download using IE9. I have tried to uninstall Firefox using Control Panel, but I get the same message saying I need to close Firefox... again i checked Task manager but it says it is not running.

  • HT1535 I own an iPhone4, an iPod 3rd generation and an iPad 2. I use the same iTunes library but unfortunately synced iPad with a different computer before syncing to my own. Do I risk losing the films/apps I've downloaded onto my iPad if I sync with my i

    I don't want to sync what is on my iPod to my iPad. (I have a 32gb iPod but only 16gb on iPad. The iPod I use mostly for music.) I can't seem to add the films I have downloaded onto iPad to iTunes. If I could do that, I could erase them from iPad to create more storage.
    This is intensely confusing, sorry.

    Question.....
    "I own an iPhone4, an iPod 3rd generation and an iPad 2. I use the same iTunes library but unfortunately synced iPad with a different computer before syncing to my own. Do I risk losing the films/apps I've downloaded onto my iPad if I sync with my iPod?"
    Answer.....
    Yes you will lose the films that you downloaded to the iPad when you sync with your own iTunes unless you transfer the purchases into your own iTunes library. Were these movies that you purchased? If so, you might be able to download them again for free. Do you have multiple computers that you sync from or is this someone else's purchased content?
    You can select whatever you want to sync to all of your devices in iTunes, you do not have to sync the same content to all device.

  • I have a ipod 3rd generation when i try to update it its says i have the latest version

    i have a ipod 3rd generation when i try to update it its says i have the latest version

    Look at the back of the iPod. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. The 2nd generation iPod touch is model A1288, and 3rd generation iPod touch is model A1318. If you have a second-generation iPod touch, the last release of iOS is can run is 4.2.1.

  • HT1320 have a ipod 3rd generation

    have a ipod 3rd generation put in the washer by mistake did the rice thing nothing.

    It may be damaged.  You have to make sure it is completely dry on the inside.  Any moisture can cause short circuits and damage if you try to use the iPod. 
    If it has already been left alone drying out for at least several days, the iPod is probably damaged and will no longer function.
