How do i add ios 5 to a ipod 3

how do i do it?

If you really have a 3G iPod then just connect to your computer and go to the Summary pane for the iPod in iTunes and click on Update/Check for updates.
If yu are stuck aon 4.2.1 then yu have a 2G iPod.

    Same way as always. Purchases directly for the App store on the iPod or download on your computer and sync to your iPod. To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

  • How do i add photos in my Ipod Video?

    How do i add photos in my Ipod Video and View them?

    Can you just open your ipod like a hard drive and put photos in the folder named Photo
    You need to let iTunes handle the transfer in order for the pictures to be viewable on the iPod. iTunes creates specially sized preview images and organizes the pictures & previews as it does for music files. If you put the pictures on manually through Windows Explorer and the iPod hard disk "interface", then you can retrieve the pictures on another computer. But the pictures won't display on the iPod.

    Well, If you've deleted the photos off your computer, then when you connect your iPod, they'll probably be automatically deleted off of it.
    Try this, though:
    Open iTunes.
    Go to "Edit -> Preferences -> iPod". Without the iPod connected, it should say "No iPod connected". Leave this Preferences windows up and running; I believe this may prevent iTunes from seeing your iPod as a connection.
    Then, if you want to copy photos from your iPod to your computer, then see these programs:
    iPodPhotoCopy
    CopyPod Photo
    Then, move those photos that you have transferred to your computer to a new folder, for example. Name the folder, then add the other photos that you previously were wanting on your iPod into this new folder.
    In Edit -> Preferemces -> iPod -> Photos, select this new folder to sync to your iPod ("Browse" for location).
    I hope this helps,

  • How do I add songs from my iPod to my iTunes

    How do I add songs from my iPod to my iTunes??

    Within Windows' folder options, select the option to view all hidden and system files. Then access your iPod through My Computer. Go into the transulcent iPod "ipod_control" folder. There's a folder in there called 'Music'. All your songs are in the several folders within this folder.
    Sadly they're all renamed by iTunes, but all artist, album and song name information is retained within the files. You can simple copy the files from this folder onto your hard drive and add them into iTunes as normal.

    The computer where i have my itunes library is no longer accessible.  How can I add new songs to my  Ipod nano without losing the song already on it?

    You will need that library copied from the old computer. If not, then you can take a look at this in getting 3rd party software to recover your library from the iPod. Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

  • How do I add music to my ipod from new computer and not loose old stuff from old computer?

    Have a new computer and would like to add more music to my ipod. It won't let me keep my old music and add new music. How do I go about doing this?

    Thanks for the info...sounds like it might work. So just to clarify because I am NOT a computer whiz...by changing the setting it will keep my old downloads on my ipod and now I can download new music with my new computer and add them to my ipod. My old stuff will not be lost. When I was on my new computer there was a button that said, "On this ipod"...I could see all of my old music, but wasn't able to make new playlists or manage them in any way. Will I be able to manage them? Or will they be "frozen" so to speak?
    Also, where do I look for this setting?
    Thanks so much for your time!

  • How do I add a playlist in iPod?

    How do I add a playlist in my iPod?
    Whenever I add a new playlist in my iTunes (File > New Playlist), it doesn't seem to appear in my iPod. I tried synchronizing my iPod, because whenever I do so, the songs automatically appear in their appropriate folders (such as My Top Rated, Recently Played, and Top 25 Most Played). I'll show you what my iTunes bar looks like with my iPod connected:
    http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/3060/ituneszz6.png
    Notice that my "Favorites" playlist does not appear under my Devices/Lush (my iPod's name haha) section.
    Also, how do I make a "Recently Added" playlist where I don't have to manually copy and paste my songs? I mean, I know it's under File > New Smart Playlist. But I don't really know how to do it...
    I had: Date Added (then there's a bunch of phrases such as 'is', 'is not', 'is after', 'is before'...etc...)
    I don't know what it's talking about.
    Please help me. I do appreciate a speedy reply. Thanks!

    For recently added smart playlist set rule to 'date added is in the last 2 weeks' or any other time you like. 2 weeks is the default. It should have already been created for you.
    For you sync problem. I am not sure. You say that syncing starts automatically when iPod is plugged in. This indicates you are set to auto sync, it which case new playlists should transfer automatically. But, if you are set to sync selected playlists then you would have to select the favourites playlist for it to transfer.
