Ipod nano 3rd gen and ihome8

My daughter received an ipod 3rd gen and ihome8 for Christmas,after using it only a couple times the ihome is bending the connection on the ipod so it no longer connects properly. I'm sure we're using the correct adapter as it is the only one that fits the ipod. Any suggestios???

Babs, this is the iTunes forum. Since this is a problem with your Nano, you will probably find more help, posting here.

Driver for Ipod Nano 3rd Gen

Hi
Just brought Ipod nano 3rd gen and plugged it into PC. It is not able to install properly - computer says it can't find driver. Any ideas how to resolve this?

I am having the same issue here.
OS: Vista ultimate 64-bit
iTunes: 7.6.0.29 (64-bit)
iPod: Nano 8gb 3rd gen
I currently have a 60gb iPod Photo that works flawlessly. I bought the Nano tonight, brought it home, and charged it up. Plugged it in, and now Windows Vista is asking for drivers for the Nano. Doesn't recognize the Nano at all.
The Nano knows it's plugged in, and is giving me the "eject before disconnecting" screen. However, Vista wants drivers, and iTunes doesn't recognize the Nano is connected whatsoever.
Can someone please shed some light on this for us? Thanks.
[edit] Yes, I have reset the Nano. Yes, I have uninstalled iTunes, rebooted and re-installed iTunes. Yes, I also tried putting the Nano into Disk Mode manually and connecting it to the system, but the system still wants drivers....
[edit2]And yes, I'm using the administrator account on the system, too.

Why don't you ask someone who has a 3rd gen nano? They usually hang out in the iPod nano 3rd gen forum.

Ipod nano 3rd gen. video download question

Hi All,
I tried adding a movie video to my ipod nano (3rd gen) and it took up the space when I synced it but when I ejected and went to find it on my ipod it wasn't there. There was no video file to find but the space was indeed used. My husband has a Ipod classic and the same movie synced onto his ipod and my daughter has the ipod nano 4th gen and she was able to view movie also. Is the 3rd Gen nano not video compatible? Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.

It's as compatible as the 4G version; I think you just had bad luck. If you can't find & delete the (large) file, you'll have restore and start over.

Ipod nano 3rd gen. some albums have suddenly disappeared from ipod, but they are showing as ticked on itunes library, have bought more tracks since on itunes and they are showing, any help please

ipod nano 3rd gen - tracks (whole albums) have disappeared from ipod but are showing ticked in itunes library and ipod is synched, have bought tracks from itunes since this happened and they are fine, any help please

You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.

IPod nano 3rd gen. Apple logo remains on screen and iTunes doesn't recognise it's plugged in, I can't even turn it off. I've tried to get to disc menu but when I hold the 'menu and select button' it reboots it doesn't recognise the select and play button

iPod nano 3rd gen. Apple logo remains on screen and iTunes doesn't recognise it's plugged in, I can't even turn it off. I've tried to get to disc menu but when I hold the 'menu and select button' it reboots and then doesn't recognise the select and play button to show the tick. I'm helpless.

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.
- 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.

Rented movies and Ipod nano 3rd gen.

I believe the ipod nano 3rd gen allows for rented movies.
so I should be able to sync my rented movies to my ipod easily.
However, when I go to the movies section under sync, the rented movies tab does not show? Something I'm doing wrong? (I believe before I saw the rented movies tab before, it stopped showing though) or does apple just suck?

Yes, the 3rd gen Nano supports rented movies. There is no separete tab for rented movies. They show up in the regular Movies tab. You can't sync them, though, only transfer them from one device to another as you can only have them on one device at a time per terms of rental.
With your Nano connected, click on the movies tab. You should see two boxes at the top. In the left hand box should be all of the rental movies you have on your computer. There should be a button between the two boxes that says, I believe, "Transfer" (don't have any rental movies so I can't say absolutely). Select the movie you want to move to your Nano and press transfer.
And by the way, your last comment almost resulted in me not even bothering to try to answer your question. Rudeness really has no place here (or anywhere, in my opinion). Everyone here is a fellow user, a volunteer.
Best of luck.

Ipod nano 3rd gen unit is locked, though never have done a manual lock on it. Screen is lit and lock button shows. Have latest itunes, but nothing syncs. Have done everything on supports pages including toggle hold button, etc. Screen stays locked. Help

ipod nano 3rd gen unit windows xp. Nano is locked, though never have done a manual lock on it. Screen is lit and lock button shows. Have latest itunes, but nothing syncs. Have done everything on supports pages including toggle hold button, etc. Screen stays locked. Help please.

Sounds like the hold switch is broken, meaning you'll need to have your iPod serviced/replaced either by Apple or a third party repair company.

My ipod nano 3rd gen gets error code -9459 when I try to convert a video in Itunes

I'm tring to convert video from Youtube to play on my ipod nano 3rd gen. When i go to itunes and Advanced and set it to convert for ipod it goes on for quite a while then about 3/4 way done I get error message Erroe occurred converting file "teapot 1". An unknown error (-9459)
What do I do? I tried Real player converter too - no luck.

I'm not sure about the error message, but it might just be easier to use an application such as Handbrake or MPEG Streamclip to create an iPod compatible version of the video.

Ipod nano 3rd Gen not recognized by itunes or windows 7

USB device not recognized.
things I have done
put Ipod in disk mode still didn't recognized
My Ipod Classic 6th Gen works fine
It shows 3 Mass Storage Device
when I plug in Ipod nano 3rd gen it shows unknow device
have deleted Mass storage devices and Apple Moble Devices
unpluged computer from wall
nothing solving problem
I also tried it on my laptop its not being recognized
my wife Ipod nano is doing the same thing as mine
its got to be the software download from itunes because it has worked on all previous versions.

I have the same problem. My Iphone 4s works fine when docked to PC. PC won't recognize my 3rd Gen Nano. Same goes for my Work PC. They don't recognize it nor will plugging it in to a PC charge it. I have to plug it into wall socket to charge.
I have tried resetting, I have tried downloading newest Itunes.
Must be the Nano itself if it doesn't get recognized by mutliple PCs?
I haven't used the Nano for probably 2 months. Previously it worked fine...
One thing, when docked to my laptop during a reboot/startup, it intially starts to charge the Nano, but once setup is finished it doesn't recognize it any longer...

IPOD NANO 3rd Gen problem Apple Mac set up PC BASED MAIN UNIT

I have been asked by a friend to help out because they asked to add music to their new IPOD. But the owner is a tech scared person. They gave the unit an IPOD NANO 3rd Gen to my friend who uses Apple MAC they set up the IPOD with their Itunes and added the songs.
Later they wanted new tracks but have now downloaded ITUNES to their own PC Windows Vista system. The tracks were added to a USB memory stick and transfered and added to the PC Vista ITUNES. But now the IPOD Nano will not register on the Windows Vista ITUNES system but will show up on the "My computer"
I have reset the nano by holding the on/off and menu etc to get the Apple logo, the unit beeps as does the laptop PC Based ITUNES etc but will still not register on the ITUNES or allow me to sync the music from the ITUNES to the IPOD.
Can anyone advise how I can reformat the IPOD or reset the IPOD and remove all music currently on it to start again but get it to register/set up and show on the ITUNES on the windows VISTA unit rather than the mac based system.
Thanks,
Global_mongrel

Hey, I bought an iPod nano 3rd gen yesterday and I have exactly the same prolem you are describing in your message. Have you found any solution to this?

My PC Shuts Down When I Plug In My New IPod Nano 3rd Gen.

The title of this post pretty much says it all. Got me my new iPod Nano 3rd gen. yesterday. Brought it home, booted up the puter, loaded iTunes and plugged that sucker in. Well first iTunes kindly instructed me that I would have to download it's newest software, which I did.
Then soon afterwards when I thought i was set, I plugged in my new 3rd gen iPod Nano to the pc and as soon as I did that my pc shut down completely, and restarted. Shut down is putting it mildly, I mean it just went 'kablink" and then was restarting.
I tried uninstalling iTunes, cleaning my temp folder, my internet cache, then reinstalling iTunes anew, still nada. All to no avail, people, because each and everytime I plug in my new iPod Nano, no sooner than i do this my pc summarily goes "kablink" on me and starts booting up again.
NOW I STILL have my iPod Nano 2nd gen, and it works fine, even with the newest iTunes software, it doesn't screw up my pc like the new 3rd gen iPod Nano does.
Now I am to conclude that the problem lies in the 3rd gen iPod itself. How could it not? My iPod Nano 2nd gen works absolutely fine, and everytime I plug in my new iPod Nano, I shut down in a flash withtout fail. Anyone of you have this error? I would love to know short of calling iTunes tech support about what to do about this, this is a MAJOR bummer for sure. Now I have to be concerened about whether or not I am ever going to get this thing to work now.
Is the iPod broken? If not why the shutdowns then? Please advise. Many thanks in advance.

Ipod nano 3rd gen (click wheel)

I currently have a ipod nano 3rd gen with a click wheel. I have uninstalled, reinstalled itunes and rebooted my computer already (I have windows XP). It shows up in "My Computer" as unknown but itunes will not reconize the ipod is connected, but does with my other ipod. I've tried changing the drive letter on this 3rd gen; but it wont appear to even change the drive letter. I believe I need to download the drivers (its what i had to do with my previous ipod) but I would like a clue where to download the drivers from, or someone to shed any light and a solution for this issue. My ulitmate goal is to get itunes to reconize it so that I can restore the ipod
Thanks.

Clickwheel games are no longer available in the iTunes store. Sorry.

IPod Nano 3rd Gen Issues: would be grateful for any help

Dear all,
I recently purchased an iPod Nano 3rd Gen for my wife. I have been using a mac for 7 years, still have my first iPod 5GB scroll wheel as well as a 60 GB iPod video 5.5 Gen.
Here's what's happening.
iPod Nano connected via dock (which is in a USB hub...could that cause problems?)
Connect, sync, no worries.
Update iPod Nano software to 1.0.2.
iPod then, halfway through syncing, flashes the Apple Logo every 6-7 secs and then does the same again.
It is not recognised in iTunes like that.
Any help?
A hopeful Dan

Hi,
Same thing just happened to me - I have put the Nano 3G into disk mode (hold Menu and Select for 10 seconds then immediately hold Play/Pause and Select).
Just doing a factory restore now, that should bring it back to a brand new state and will try again from there.
