Can I use a 3rd generation Ipod if my computer cant run the latest Itunes?

My computer is too old for the new itunes. is there a way to connect my Ipod to my compuer?

The third generation full-size iPod is compatible with iTunes 6.05. The third generation iPod nanos and iPod shuffles are not.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I just purchased a 120gb iPod classic 6th generation from a friend. I have the latest iTunes installed and the software on the iPod is also current. My problem is whenever I'm syncing the iPod and iTunes freezes between the 250- 300th song...

    I just purchased a 120gb iPod classic 6th generation from a friend. I have the latest iTunes installed and the software on the iPod is also current. My problem is whenever I'm syncing the iPod and iTunes freezes between the 250- 300th song... I have to manually reset the iPod for the iTunes to run correctly, but then my music isn't added and iTunes tells me I have to restore the iPod... I've done this numerous times only to no avail... Someone please help!!!

    Here is what worked for me:

    You can use the latest iTunes (11.1.3) on 10.6.8 - if Software Update doesn't provide it (which it should) then you can download it from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

  • Hi. I use windows Xp with service pack 3. I have the latest itunes 11.1 installed in it. I am able to add music or apps to my library but not just videos. Please help.

    Hi. I use windows Xp with service pack 3. I have the latest itunes 11.1 installed in it. I own ipad mini. I am able to add music or apps to my library but not just videos. I have already tried removing & reinstalling it. I also have tried with various formats like MPEG, MOV, MP4. Please help.

    I already have what you ( ClayandLonnie ) have suggested with the preferences>Shareing Preferences set to share all.
    I have tried turing it off, and then back on.
    I have tried just sharing specific items and this still did not work.
    I am going to try stepping back down to 11.04.4 as previously suggested by TheDarkCanuck when I get home tomorrow. (maybe saturday).  I am just leary about having to recreate all my libraries and how long that might take.  I have over 1.5 TB of Music and Video, that is why I would like to get it working in the current version.
    Just because I don't have a Mac, it seems that this is not being taken as a real problem for the windows 7 users (maybe it is specific to 64bit).  I may try the 32bit version to see if that fixes it first.  Unless someone else has, and want to chime in.

  • Can I use more than one iPod with one computer?

    Howdy,
    I have a (hopefully) quick question. Can I use two iPods with one user account on one computer? Can iTunes keep two different iPods separate with different syncing rules for the same user account and iTunes library? I'm interested in the answer for both Mac and Windows machines.
    Thanks!

    You can use more than on iPod on one computer, and you can also use one iPod on more than one computer. Check out these articles:

  • Can I use my first generation iPod on a Windows PC computer?

    I have a 10 gig very first generation iPod that I have been using on my Mac. I want to sell it to someone who has a PC.
    1. Can they use it on the PC?
    2. If so, what do they need to do?
    a) install iTunes on their PC
    b) get some type of fireware to USB adapter? Where do they get this?
    c) What else??
    Many thanks. Don't want to sell it to this guy unless he can use it.

    NO. The 1st. gens are MAC ONLY (I just bought one, so i know.) Sorry to dissapoint you....

  • We have a 3rd generation iPod nano which we have forgotten the password to.  How do I reset it to factory settings so I can sync it with our iMac and iTunes?

    How do I reset our iPod nano 3rd generation to factory specs so we can sync it to our iMac and iTunes?  We have forgotten the password and have given up on the guessing game after too many attempts.  I have been through the support, tried trouble shooting, but it doesn't seem to sink in...  What is the "simple" way to get our nano back for a new set up?

    I should add that I have tried the online on how to restore but it says it has to be through iTunes and iTunes doesn't even recognize the iPod at this point. The iPod is an iPod 2 classic I believe.

  • Can I use apple 3rd generation ipad (MD369LL/A) with AT&T internationally. can I have a local carrier service in asia or is 3rd generation ipad locked

    Can I use apple IPAD 3rd generation MD369LL/A with at&t internationally with local carriers in asia. Is this i-pad locked to international carriers.

    The iPad is not locked to AT&T. You should be able to use it with any compatible carrier anywhere in the world. You'll just need a SIM for the carrier you wish to use, and they'll of course have to offer a data plan for the iPad.
    Regards.

  • 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.
