Do 5th Gen iPod video & 3rd Gen Nano have exactly the same dock connector?

Its just I have a 5th Gen, and have just bought the wife a 3rd Nano.
I have a speaker dock that I use for my iPod Video, can she use it with her new nano?
Also just bought a iPod clock alarm, it states it supports iPod video, but only says Nano (no gen description) so is this going to be the same connector to?
I know I will need a dock plastic adapter thing, which you get it the box of the Nano so am ok there
cheers

ah I see, so physically they are the same, and wil lfit, but it may be a different matter if they actually work
Ive just put it on a speaker dock I have, and it works fine, wil try it on a iPod dock clock alarm I have as well soon
cheers, I just didt want to push it too hard on incase it was actually a physical different size

  • I have a 5th Gen iPod Video, I no longer have the original computer i used to synch with, how do I get my music from my iPod on to my iTunes on my new computer?

    I have looked on here, and all I can see are solutions involving the use of both old and new computers, as I dont have the old one anymore I am hoping someone might have a workaround.
    Thanks

    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.
    An "other" larger tha about 1 1/2 usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:
    How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • Does the nano use the same dock connector cord as a 3rd generation iPod?

    I currently have a 3rd gen iPod (touch wheel w/ four buttons above it) and am looking to upgrade to the new iPod Nano. Will all my old accessories be compatable with the nano? - Dock connector, AC adapator, car charger etc. Thanks in advance.

    I made the same switch - 3G iPod to 3G Nano, and it all works, even the dock! Of course, even though the dock connector works, the sizes of the two are difference, so anything that the 3G iPod fit perfectly in will be too big for the nano - but that has nothing to do with the connector.
    A little trick you may not have though of - if you have a Firewire cable for your old iPod, you can connect the new nano to the charger that came with your 3G iPod - it won't sync, but it will charge.

  • Ipod nano (5th generation) - want to use headphones and charge at the same time

    I have an ipod nano (5th generation).  Do I need a special set of headphones to use the headphone jack and charge the ipod at the same time?

    The iPod nanos have a 30 pin dock connector and a headphone jack. When you charge the iPod you use the dock connector therefore you can use and charge at the same time. You cannot use and charge the iPod shuffle at the same time. You might have the two mixed up.

  • 5th Gen iPod and 2nd gen Nano will connect to Mac, not found by iTunes

    I bought a brand new MacBook running OSX 10.4.9, and I cannot get my 5th gen iPod video nor my 2nd gen Nano to be recognized by iTunes. The computer recognizes that there are two drives-- they come up on the desktop. But iTunes will not notice them, let alone play music from them. These iPods are mostly used with Windows 2000 PC laptops, and I'm connecting them via USB.
    What should I do?
    Thanks,
    Robert

  • HT1454 Can not get video out from my ipod touch 3rd gen. Any ideas? It should nt be diffiicult to do this on the 21 st century, or not?

    After having spent EUR 130 on cables from apple, i still can not get video out from my ipod touch 3rd gen. Any ideas? It should nt be diffiicult to do this on the 21 st century, or not?

    Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media.  You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else.  As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
    You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC.  Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.

  • 5th Gen iPod Video not syncing all video podcasts

    My 5th Gen iPod video is not syncing all of my video podcasts.
    I did specify in the settings to sync all videos, but for some reason it only places 3 of each on the iPod. This is using the latest version of iTunes, OS X 10.4.8, and iPod up-to-date.
    This did work fine with the previous version of iTunes and only seemed to happen since the "upgrade".
    I've tried restoring the ipod - didn't work
    Reinstalled iTunes - didn't work
    Rebooted system - didn't work
    Undocked/Redocked iPod - didn't work
    Please Help.

    Assuming you're running iTunes 7, connect the iPod and wait for it to appear in the iTunes source list. When it does, click on it, and click on the 'podcast' tab. Make sure it is set to sync all podcasts. Check the 'video' tab as well.
    iTunes 7 included several new options for setting just how the iPod will update in iTunes. So, it's a good idea to go through them and make sure they're set exactly how you'd like them to be.
    Hope this helps

  • Ipod Shuffle 3rd gen is working great and is perfect for my needs

    I just wanted to post that my iPod Shuffle 3rd gen is working great. No problems and I love it. I use it mainly for listening to podcasts. As soon as I turn it on it begins on the podcast I last listened to --where I was in the middle of the podcast. I stick the Shuffle in my pocket and all I ever have to do is use the headphone controls to pause, move forward or backward in the podcast, skip to the next one, or go back to the beginning, etc. I also love to be able to use the volume control on the headset without having to fumble around for my Shuffle in my pocket where it is safely tucked and won't get knocked off or damaged. I listen to my Shuffle for a few hours a day when doing yard work, household tasks and driving back and forth to work.
    All the features are working just the way they are supposed to on my Shuffle. There are a bunch of negative posts about the Shuffle and I just wanted to say that mine works great and I enjoy it very much. I have had the Shuffle for 4 weeks and have not had any problems whatsoever. I own several other models of iPods (first version Mini, Video 60gb, Nano 1 & 2, Shuffle 1,2,& 3, Touch) But the handsfree/visual free ability of this 3rd gen Shuffle is great and very useful for me.
    Just my two cents.

    Linda,
    No I just use one earbud in my ear. I put the earbud in my right ear--away from the window side and it is also the one with the in-line controls, so that works great. I don't put it on very loud either.
    If I am not listening to a podcast and just want to hear music I sometimes will plug it into a line-in cable, but then I don't have a choice on what I am listening to. It's not a real problem because I like all the songs I have on it anyway. I can still adjust the volume on the car stereo, so that is the way I do it.
    I am watching closely for any accessories that might allow a headphone splitter to work, but nothing so far. I am sure we will see some useful additions in the near future. And by the way, the earbuds that came with it work great in my ears--never fall out and are comfortable to me.

  • HELP. Ipod Touch 3rd gen won't switch on after updating to OS 4

    So here's the thing. I tried to download and install the new OS 4 (i think i had iOS 3.1 before) to my Ipod Touch 3rd gen. Since it was taking a bit too long, i left it hooked up to the laptop for an hour to do some errands. When I got back, the laptop was on standby mode. I checked Itunes and it had this prompt saying update failed or an error occurred (#1602 I think but I don't know what it meant that time). I then checked my Ipod Touch and it was switched off. So we figured maybe the battery got drained while we were gone and tried to plug it via AC charge for 10 minutes. Nothing happened. I tried to hook it up to the laptop, no luck there either. The charger worked fine for an Ipod video we also have. I'm scouring the webs for what to do, Im getting worried. hope someone can help me in this. Thank you.
    (and additional question. I'm here in the Philippines right now but this Ipod Touch was my sister's, I think she bought this last year in the US. She just sent it to me this month. So if I take this to the local Apple store, can they do something about my problem? Assuming I cant fix anything by tomorrow. Thanks again folks.)

    First I would charge it for an hour and then:
    - Have you tried resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Next would be to place the ipod n recovery mode and then try to restore it via iTunes. For recovery mode see:

  • IPod Touch (3rd Gen) won't boot unless usb powered

    Info:
    iPod Touch (3rd Gen) 32 GB
    Latest Version available (5.1.1)
    Tried resetting settings
    Tried hard reset (home button and power button at the same time until apple logo)
    Has a full charge
    So basically any time I try to turn the iPod Touch on it will bring up a black screen for a second on the display, fail to boot up to the apple logo, and then shuts the display off.
    I have done everything up to restoring it on iTunes as listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    The only problem is in the process of this occuring I have had a hard drive fail so my iPod Touch backups are more than likely lost without further analysis. So what would be the next best step? I assume refreshing it and backing up everything with a backup on my new hard drive under iTunes. Obviously, my computer would know anything about this iPod since I don't have its previous backups, but I should still be able to get the basics (music,videos,photos,etc) back thanks to default iCloud account right?
    Thank you for your time.

  • My iPod Touch 3rd gen is screwed up the backlights screwed and the Wifi is not working its showing no wifi! What should i do??

    My iPod Touch 3rd gen is screwed up the backlights screwed and the Wifi is not working its showing no wifi!

    See:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
