Help with ipod 3rd gen and itunes

I want to remove the music from i tunes but when I do that it gets removed from the i-pod. The reason I want to remove it is because my computer is very very slow and when I add music it gets slower. So is it possible to remove the music from the i tunes list and it doesn't get removed from my i-pod? Thanks!

my advice would be, get rid of itunes cause it slows down your computer alot, and use another program like winamp or media monkey. where do you get your music from?

Connectivity issues bet ipod 3rd gen and winxp / win 7

Device: ipod 3rd gen (in excellent working condition with new battery)
OS: win xp, win 7
As fire wire ports are no longer available on laptops with win OS, I bought a new apple cable that connects to the dock connector on the ipod and the other end of the cable has a usb port. Now when I connect the ipod to a win XP PC it shows as up a "removable disk drive" and the ipod displays "disk mode". But the itunes (ver10.5.2.11 - the latest ver) does not detect the ipod at all. A strange predicament. I wonder if there are any drivers that I need to install for windows to be able to see the ipod. Pl advice on location and the ver / name of driver that I may download from somewhere.

Your problem is the connection. The 3rd generation iPod requires Firewire which will charge the battery while it is connected. It will not work with USB. There is hope-Apple used to sell a combo USB/Firewire cable(USB connects to the computer and Firewire to the A/C adapter) and I think others now manufacture a similar cable.

Please help with my 3rd gene ipod

- Restore from backup

If still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Nano 3rd gen and itunes 8.0.1

My ipod nano 3rd gen will not sync with itunes now that we have downloaded the latest version 8.0.1. Itunes locks up immediately upon recognizing my ipod and closes upon clearing the error message (systems error upon opening itunes). Originally I was unable to open Itunes all together, but after going through the support programs and following the instructions of removing one of the SDDb files, Itunes was at least opening. Unfortunately I am unable to do anything with my nano when it is connected to the computer or when I try and connect it after opening Itunes. Itunes open if there my nano is not connected to it.
I am completely at a lose. Please offer some advice.
cheers,

So, to bring closure - and possibly help someone else with the same question - I'll answer my own question.
The new 3rd Gen Nano arrived today. I just decided to install iTunes on the new computer and connect the new Nano to that computer. I was prompted to name the Nano and I was able to log into my existing iTunes account and purchase music. I was not able to transfer those purchases to the Nano - got an authorization error. I needed to authorize the new computer and then I was all set.
It turned out there was already a 2nd authorized computer on the account (my laptop which I had forgotten about). I was surprised that when I connected the new Nano to that laptop, it was recognized without question - and without affecting the old Nano that had been previously docked to the laptop.
My only problem was downloading a podcast that I subscribe to (Leo Laporte's The Tech Guy). I tried downloading the last 4 or 5 podcasts on the new computer - but, kept getting a network timeout error. I tried on the laptop and got the same errors. I knew that these had been previously downloaded to the old desktop. So, I updated that to the latest version of iTunes and was able to get those podcasts onto my new Nano.
So, the bottom line is this turned out to be a no-brainer. Was worried for nothing.

An upgrade for my IPod 3rd gen and now all my APPS close as soon as they open, except for the first page and the bottom line.

I just downloaded the latest upgrade for my 3rd gen IPod and now most of the Apps close as soon as they open. Only the first page of Apps and the bottom line will operate. Does anyone know of a solution. I checked with common problems and I don't have other Apps open.

If the ipod was completely drained of power, you have to leave the ipod connected to a power source (Like your PC) for up to an hour before it will have enough power to power up and be seen by windows and iTunes.

NEED HELP WITH IPOD 4TH GEN

I have an ipod touch 4th generation I forgot my password. Every time I try to restore it, it seems as tho its going to work but then comes up with some thing saying THAT I NEED MY PASSWORD. I have no idea what else to do. PLEASE HELP!!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

I have an iPod 3rd gen, and the audio jack plays distorted music?

If I don't tightly hold the headphones into the iPod it won't play music/sounds clearly. My warranty is up and I'm not sure what to do. If I send it in to Apple, will they give me back a 3rd gen 32 gig iPod touch (the same info as the one I currently have) or will they give me back a nano or something that's worth less money? Help me, please and thank you:)

Apple will exchange it for the same model/capacity for this price:

A third-party place lke this one is less expensive. Google for more places.

Odd problem with iPod 5G 30G and iTunes 8...

It freezes when I plug in my iPod.
I've tried with my friend's iPod Nano (newest) and my iPod touch 8G and it works properly...
But iTunes freezes when I connect my iPod 5G 30G on Windows Vista.
Funny thing (annoying) is that it (my iPod) works properly in another laptop with Windows XP and iTunes 7...
So it seems something is wrong with the last update... Because it used to work...
Any solution to this...? Do I have to borrow my friend's laptop to change the music of my iPod or install something like Rockbox ...or even iTunes 7?
Does it means I have to buy a new model to keep compatibilities with the software?
Thanks in advance for the info.

Nothing?
Isn't this the support forum?
I must be doing something wrong...
Guess I'll go and ask the scene...
Thanks anyway
... let me see... apple.com... support... yes... odd thing... :/

I need help with iPod Shuffle gen. 4?

My iPod shuffle gen. 4 will not download audiobooks. At first I was able to download 4 books, but now the downloads go to the computer only and not to the iPod. Any ideas?

Did you try this way? Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
If this does not work, you might have to use 3rd party software like Touchcopy for example

AirPlay mirroring with iPod Touch 4g and iTunes

If yes, can I play certain games (e.g. Minecraft)
Thanks,

The only way to AirPlay an iPod to a Windows PC is with

You can AirPlay videos, music, or photos from a variety of different locations on your iOS device, including from within the Photos, Videos, Safari, and Music apps, or directly from recently used apps.

Help with Ipad (3rd gen) wifi

I have a problem with my Ipad where I'm unable to scroll across a video. For instance if im playing a video on youtube or iplayer, I'm unable to forward the video. I have restored the ipad through Itunes but has not resolved the issue. Any ideas why this is happening?

For the issue with Messages, try this. Settings>Messages>Show Subject Field>Off. Then try typing and sending a message.
Did you restore as new? You didn't say if you did or not? I don't think this is going to help with the video scrubbing but it doesn't hurt anything. Reboot your iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
