  • My ipod touch 3rd gen will not sync to pc.itunes file menu sync my ipod is greyed out

    my ipod touch 3rd gen will not sync to pc.itunes file menu sync my ipod is greyed out.and i cant sync or put any new songs.please help me.

    I've gotten the iPod to sync after restoring it and not changing ANY of the music sync settings.  I didn't even click "sync music", I just have it on manual and clicked autofill. 
    After it synced all of the music successfully, I tried to sync a playlist (my recently added), and it's gone bonkers again, it won't sync the playlist's music, or any new music now.

  • IPod touch 3rd Gen. will not show up iTunes or My Computer

    I have reinstalled iTunes, I have tried recovory mode, I have the latest model, I've tried using other USB ports, I've done just about anything I can. I have had this iPod for like 3 years and have never had an issue. Now all the sudden it will not connect to the computer or show up in itunes. It does charge in a wall charger though. How do i fix this?

    Hi
    I have posted just recently with a similar problem [although I suspect you are using Windows rather than OSX by your reference to device manager].
    In my post I asked if iTunes 10 supports the 2nd gen nano as I am starting to suspect that it doesn't. Have you recently upgraded to 10?

    Hi. My ipod touch (3rd gen) will not turn off or resond to anything and will not connect to a computer. the screen will not go into sleep mode and i dont know what to do. help?

    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.

    See if placing the iPod in DFU mode will allow a restore.

  • My ipod touch 3rd gen will not update to 4.3. It says it is the current version

    when i try to update my ipod touch 3rd gen to 4.3 on itunes it says "your ipod is up to date" and "this is the currnet version".  But when i try to buy certain apps it says "you must have version 4.3 to download this app" what do i do? i have 4.2 and i have even clicked the "check for update" button and waited for the automatic update check but it always says its the current version even though its not! please help me!

    You appear to have a second generation iPod touch, not a third, and those can't be updated past 4.2.1. Apple sold 8GB second generation models at the same time as the third generation ones.

  • Ipod touch 3rd gen. is not recognized

    My ipod touch 3rd generation is not recognized on my computer or on the itunes website.  I have tried everything listed on this websie and still nothing.  The usb cable I am using I got from ebay because I bought the ipod at Unclaimed Baggage store and did not come with usb cable.  Does anyone have any idea what to do, the only other thing that I can think to do is purchase new usb cable from apple.com because ipod is working great; just won't sync to computer.

    I'm not sure what you meant by, "on the iTunes website".
    Have you read this: http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/

  • My (up to date) iPod touch 5th gen is not showing up in (up to date) iTunes on my Windows 8.1 laptop.

    I have recently bought a new laptop and downloaded iTunes to it right away. I have not been able to connect my iPod touch 5th gen to iTunes at all since then. I have updated both the iPod and iTunes completely and both are up to date. I tried different iPods of the same generation and they haven't connected either. I have tried using different cables and all my usb ports. I tried resetting my iPod and re-installing iTunes to my computer. My iPod is showing up in my computer but not under devices in iTunes. Can anyone help?

    For me it was step 5 (Apple Mobile Device USB Driver) that solved the problem of none of my iOS devices being recognized by iTunes in the 11.3.1.2 version and Windows 8.1

  • Ipod touch 3rd gen will not turn on

    Hi
    Updated my Ipod touch 3rd generation and now it will not turn on. I have restored it in itunes and updated it with the latest software but still nothing.
    The Ipod however is seen within Itunes.
    Any help would be greatly received.
    Regards

    - Try here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - When you restore does the appear that the iPod successfully goes through all the stages of restore?
    If yes, try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then restore.
    Next try DFU Mode

    - Then try a different computer
    - Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My Ipod Touch 3rd Gen will not update

    I have a 3rd Gen Ipod Touch, and it states on the website that this supported to update to iOS 4.3
    However, when I try to update, I get the same error message.
    "This version of the Ipod software (4.2.1) is the current version"
    anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
    I have the latest version of Itunes, I have tried 2 different cables, also I have restored my Ipod back to factory settings,
    There is nothing else that I can think of doing, as there is no update anywhere for me to manually download, and it's getting rather annoying to say the least.
    Thanks

    Look on the back of your iPod Touch itself for any of these numbers.
    iPod Touch 1st generation - A1213
    iPod Touch 2nd generation - A1288
    iPod Touch 3rd generation - A1318
    iPod Touch 4th generation - A1367
    Also see this Apple document on the 3rd generation iPod Touch

    You probably have the 2nd generation iPod Touch which is an 8GB model.
    The 2nd generation 8GB iPod Touch was last offered in August of 2010.. I bought one in August of 2010 and the following month Apple came out with the 4th generation. There never was a 3rd generation 8GB iPod Touch.

  • IPod touch 3rd gen stuck in recovery mode and iTunes cannot fix it

    i have an ipod touch 3rd generation with firmware 4.3.4. i was recently playing an app whe all of the sudden my ipod just shuts off. i held the power button but it would not turn on. then i tried just holding and pressing and holding the power and home button on my ipod touch trying to get it to turn back on. eventually the apple logo appeared and i felt relieved. however the usb and itunes screen popped up so i plugged my ipod touch into my computer and tried to restore it. when i plugge my ipod touch in a message popped up telling me that my ipod touch was in recovery mode and had to be restored. so i clicked on restore and waited for my ipod to restore. then another message popped up. it said that my ipod was not approved from apple to be restored. i had no idea what was going on so i did some research. i found that other people have seen an error pop up but with an error number. my error displayed no error number. i thought to myself that that was strange so i tried to restore my ipod agian. then i realized when i clicked on my ipod in itunes that my ipod summery was wierd. the name of my ipod was ipod and the capacity and serial number etc. said n/a. what is wrong with my ipod and how do i fix it? i miss my ipod.

    ok hit the level down sound home and power button at the same time happen to me to really anoying
