Can I update my 3rd generation ipod to ios 7?

I have an iPod 3rd generation. Can I update to iOS 7
At the moment, I have iOS 5.1.1 and it says it is up to date.
Please Help Me

I am referring to my 3rd generation ipod - can you tell me if something is wrong?
I have my iPod and it charges to 100% and tells me to unplug it.
I do and go on it - no WiFi and the lowest brightness and within 10 minutes it goes down to 20% - 5 minutes later and it loses charge and I have to plug it in again.
Is there something wrong with my iPod

  • I can't update my 3rd generation ipad to ios 8

    I want to update my 3rd generation iPad to iOS 8 through the OTA update. I have enough space as it requires 5.8GB and I have almost 10 GB. I clicked on download and install. It did download the iOS update file and then it says, "Preparing Update." In that part, it is very slow and suddenly it freezes then reboots my device to apple logo. When it goes back, it still says, "Preparing Update" and then it will freeze again and reboot. I don't know what to do. I want to have iOS 8 so bad. I have enough space and I don't run apps on the background. I have this problem over a day now. I even tried deleting the iOS 8 file and re-download it but same thing happens. Any suggestion or advice? Thanks in advance.

  • 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.

  • Can I connect my 3rd generation iPod shuffle to external speakers

    Can I connect my 3rd generation IPod shuffle to external speakers? When I plug it into an external speaker, it stops playing and I don't hear any music. The controls eg. Volume, play etc is on the earplug cord. Thanks

    Not for more than 10% off the price of a new one. You're better off selling it to a third-party.

  • How can i use my 3rd Generation iPod as a portable harddrive for files...

    now that i have a brand new 5th Generation 60Gig iPod, i want to use my old 3rd Generation iPod as a portable storage devise for files and whatever else. not for listening to music anymore. what do i have to do to make this so?
    i can just go ahead and use the firewire cable that came with it right? and will i actually be able to upload files to it, and then download them again? like word documents and photo files or spreadsheet or whatever?
    will it be cross platform then? meaning will i be able to take it to my friends pc (i use a mac) and download my resume or spreadsheet or whatever else to his machine (of course i would have to use the usb cable then).
    know what i mean? i want to use this think like an external harddrive.
    please advise.

    i think ipods are generally set to enable disc mode, so you can use it as a storage device, by default (if yours isnt, plug your ipod in, and go into options to select enable disc mode). just connect the ipod with whatever cord it came with to your computer, then look into the m.. is it called "my harddrive" or "harddrive"? and you should see the ipod connected there on the left side of the window with "network" and "music" etc. if you click on the ipod icon, you can drag and drop files into your ipod just as you would any other folder and use it as a harddrive.
    the tricky thing is using it for both pc and mac. i think if its formatted for a pc, you can use it on both macs and pcs. but if you have it formatted for a mac, then only macs can read it.
    so if you want to use it on your friends pc as well, format your ipod on a pc first so you can use it on both platforms.

  • ITunes 7.7 can't detect old 3rd generation iPod

    I have an old 15gb 3rd gen iPod -- the kind with the touchwheel, 4 buttons, and dock connector. Up until last week it still worked reliably. Then I updated to iTunes 7.7. Now when I connect my iPod to my Mac it won't show up on my list of devices. Nor does it show up on my desktop (even though I have disk mode enabled). Is this a bug in 7.7? Anybody know any fixes?

    Never mind... seems to have fixed itself. Weird.

  • HT1222 Why can't i update my 3rd generation ipod touch?

    Why can't i update my ipod touch 3rd generation

    Very vague.  Almost impossible to guess since you provide no info at all about your issue.
    What have you tried?
    What happened?
    It is a second gen ipod touch?  If it is an 8gigabyte then it is a second gen
