  • 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,

    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?

  • 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
    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.

  • 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 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.

  • My iPod nano 3rd gen went mad then all the songs were gone can I get them back

    My iPod nano 3rd gen wiped all my music can I recover it

    If it's no longer in iTunes or stored in a backup anywhere, I"m afraid you are out of luck. 
    For music purchased in iTunes, you can redownload it again no cost via iCloud if you live in a country where this service has gone live.  See this article for more details.

    As for music imported from outside of iTunes, you'll need to rerip those into iTunes if at all possible.

    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 won't play AIFF files from Logic Pro 9

    Hi, so I've bounced a few tracks I was working on in Logic pro 9 as AIFF files, imported them into iTunes and then synced them down to both an iPod Touch 2nd gen and this iPod Nano 3rd Gen. The tracks play fine on the iPod Touch, but on the Nano, when I try to play a track, it shoes the "player" screen for a second, but it always bounces back to the track listing.
    According to the iPod Nano 3rd gen spec sheet, it does support AIFF files:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP14
    Any idea as to why this is happening?
    Also, I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.4, iTunes 9.2 and I reset the iPod nano just before starting this whole project.
    I'd like to keep the tracks in AIFF if possible...

    Greetings WonderfulT1,
    If you are having an issue with being unable to start your iPod nano when it is not connected to the computer, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps on this page -

  • Why can I not sync my iPod Nano 3rd Gen to my iTunes 9.1.1?

    My daughter mistakenly downloaded the latest iTunes version which does not work with my older iPod Nano 3rd gen.  Before all this happened I was running version 9.1.1 which was working beautifully.  After uninstalling the updated version and reinstalling the 9.1.1 version, I cannot restore nor sync my music to the iPod Nano.  I would just be happy having things the way they were previously.  Any tips???  Thanks.

    Go to the Apple icon in the upper left corner and select 'About this Mac' - it will show you which version of OSX you are using.

  • 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.

  • Recording onto iPod nano 3rd Gen?

    I was recently flipping through folders on my iPod, and I came across a folder that said "recordings". Does this mean my iPod nano 3rd Gen is capable of recording directly?
    Any help appreciated =]

    Thank you for the reply, however, I'm using APPLE; 10.5..... op system.  I have been using this ipod with this APPLE comp for  a few years--- I read somewhere that the mobile device could be auto turned off somehow.  If I DO follow the directions for the uninstall..do I lose all my songs, etc when I put the itune.app in the trash and re-install?

  • 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.
