  • Itunes is not reading 3rd generation ipod. help please.

    ok so here is the deal. i just bought a 3rd generation ipod for my lil sister and itunes does not read it at all. but i have a 2nd generation ipod myself and it works just fine. i have done the 5 R thing and it still does not work. anyone have any suggestions?

    Restoring it will erase the songs from your iPod, but not iTunes. It's simply a matter of loading them again from your library.
    I think this is your only option.

  • 3rd generation iPod help?

    I have a 20GB 3rd generation iPod. I recently found it and tried plugging it into a power source, and I can't seem to get anything to happen and am hesitant to take it to the genius bar, as they probably will laugh at me. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    A 3rd gen iPod is the one with a "touchwheel" (not clickwheel), and the four buttons that glow orange in a row betwen the wheel and screen.  That's the one you have, correct?
    If so, are you using a FireWire docking cable to connect it?  That model, although it has the same dock connector, does not change from a USB port.
    If your Mac has FireWire 800, you can use an adapter like this

    to connect the FireWire docking cable (which has the older FireWire 400 connector).  Hopefully, you stil have the docking cable that came with it.

  • HT1353 I just purchased a 3rd generation Ipod Touch and the latest software is iOS 4.2.1 and I'd like to download some Apps (facebook, words with friends, etc.), but they all need iOS 5. Help!

    I just purchased a used 3rd generation Ipod Touch and the latest software is iOS 4.2.1 and I have been trying to download apps (Facebook, Words w/Friends, etc.), but they all say I need to have iOS 5. Help!

    Here are some tools to search for compatible apps (The first one is my recommendation).
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    I personally havent looked for any clones of Words With Friends, but I bet you can find something.
    Here are a couple apps which say they are compatible with Facebook:
    Chatnow for Facebook
    Friends Planet 2
    Quickly for Facebook with Video Chat

  • I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I upgraded to lion. I tried to buy an audio book and download it to my nano like I have done at least 50 times before. Now the dialog box states that I need an ipod touch for the same function. MacBook Pro 2008 w/ m.trac

    I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I recently upgraded to Lion which is causing lots of issues. Aside from that, I went to the Itunes store to purchase books like I have done at least 100 times before with no problems. Now I can by the book and get it to my computer, however when I tried to download the book to my 3rd generation ipod the dialog box informed me that to download any new audiobook purchases I would need an ipod touch. My ipod nano 3rd generation serves my purposes just fine. Why should I be forced to buy something I do not want just to continue something I have always done seamlessly? I know this is more of a rant than a question but I am sure someone else out there has had this happen to them. Maybe you could share your thoughts on how to work around this issue if possible?

    I forgot to add the last obvious and crucial step I had taken - plugging a different iPod into my system. It was also not recognized. That was the final proof I needed to determine if the problem was device or system. But now what?
    I truly appreciate any help I can get!
    Thanks again...

  • I need speakers for my 3rd generation iPod.

    I got Logitech's AudioStation Express as a Christmas gift but it doesn't have adock adapter for my 15GB 3rd generation iPod. The only way it works is my connecting the included cable to the headphone jack to the line in connection. As such, you have to lie it flat and all of the remote's functions don't work.
    I want to know if there are speakers that support my iPod and it will dock. I want something under $100 to use at work...Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    On a windows go to the control panel and find where it says to "add or remove programs" Go in there and find iPod and iTunes and remove them. Then restart your computer and put in the nano disk and install the software for the nano
    No need for any of this.

  • TS1398 my 3rd generation ipod touch recently lost wifi capabilities. I reset the network settings... this did not help.  I did a complete reset, I now no longer have the Safari icon on my itouch.  Has Apple removed wifi on older models to force new purcha

    I recently lost wifi capabilities on my 3rd generation ipod touch.  I reset the network which did nothing so I did a complete reset.  This actually removed the Safari icon off my itouch and still wifi is completely grayed-out.  Has Apple removed the wifi capabilities to force the purchase of new items?
    I find it completely disturbing that only recently has this become an issue for 3rd generation itouch users.
    Can someone please help as I am exceptionally frustrated

    This problem?
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

  • Recently downloaded new ITunes.  Can't get my 3rd generation iPod shuffle to load songs in order.  Help????

    Recently downloaded new iTunes.  Now I can't get my 3rd generation iPod shuffle to load songs in order.  Never had trouble with the old iTunes format.

    I love the new version of Grid view but some of the other changes feel like they still need some fine tuning. And I miss cover flow even if I didn't use it that often...
    You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
    Ctrl-B to turn on the menu bar.
    Ctrl-S to turn on the sidebar (your device should be listed here as before).
    Ctrl-/ to turn on the status bar.
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour.
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (but perhaps it does more)
    If you want to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and suppporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

    Try
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with              
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
    New cable and different USB port?
    Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

    hi i just got a 6th generation nano and im trying to transfer music from my old ipod which a 3rd generation ipod can someone help?plz thankz

    There is no way to transfer ipod-to-ipod. Look for a 3rd party program, such as Yamipod, that will let you pull the music from your old iPod to your computer.
    You really should be backing up your data on your computer.

  • My 3rd generation ipod is not charging, it keeps p showing the apple icon when charging???? help?

    my 3rd generation ipod is not charging, it keeps p showing the apple icon when charging???? help?

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    Then try restoring on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • 3rd generation ipod touch is locked and says to connect to itunes.  It will not connect to itunes because it is locked.  What do I do?

    My son has a 3rd generation ipod touch.  He couldn't remember the passcode and locked it up.  It is saying that you have to connect it to Itunes to unlock it.  However, when I hook it up to Itunes, it says that you have to unlock it first.  I need help in getting it unlocked!  Someone please help me???

    You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it.  If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    If recovery mode doesn't work, try DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode instead using the instructions in this article.
