How do I find files on ipod nano 3rd gen that iTunes doesn't show?

When I use the search facility on my nano I can find five mp3 files (which I'd like to delete) that don't show up in the iTunes drop down menu. I've highlighed all options eg audiobooks, podcasts etc and tried a manual search as well as Apple F. My nano appears on my desktop as a "hard drive" but again the search doesn't pull these files up. They're definitely there as I can play them but until I can find them either in iTunes or on desktop I'm unable to delete. Help.

I believe that a few really low quality iPod games were distributed as freeware a long time ago, however you're much more likely to find malware infested web sites than any genuine source if you go hunting for them, and you'll still be disapointed with what you find. If you want games get an iPod touch.

You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For other music you will have to get them from where you originally got them

How do I find games for ipod nano 3rd generation

I cannot find games for iPod nano in iTunes even though all the support keeps telling me to select iPod nano from the Source list. There is no source list, no games tab, nothing that leads me to the iPod nano games. When I click on apps, and just go to a game, they are all just for iphones, ipads or ipod touches. This is frustrating. Any help would be appreciated!

Need help registering iPod Nano (3rd Gen) into iTunes

Got the 3rd Gen iPod nano for Christmas, but I'm having difficulty setting it up.
The manual says I need to wait for something known as a "Setup Assist" to come up. Nothing ever did.
Also, in iTunes, it tells me (when I click on the iPod icon under "devices") that I still need to register the product. It takes me to the terms and conditions sheet, and as is typical, tells me to "agree to terms" and then... I click "save." it asks me to save an rtf file onto my computer. I do so, but nothing ever happens. And my iPod still won't work.
Am I saving it somewhere wrong? (I've saved it in My Documents, as well as the iPod and iTunes folders in My Programs)
Any help is appreciated, and Merry Christmas

Okay! I found out what to do.
What you're going to have to do is go into the Control Panel on your computer.
Go into "Appearance and themes." You're going to have to change the screen resolution. 1280x600 or so should do the trick.
Go back into iTunes and you should see the "continue" button on the far right. (Very scrunched up and annoying, I know. But it works!)
I hope that helps you out.

How to recover lost files from ipod touch 3rd gen after sync?

I synchronized my ipod touch in a new computer and it deleted all my files, and I did not have a back up neither my old sync computer. How can I recover my files?

Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Is a backup listed with the date/time you synced?
Do you have an iCloud backup?
If yo use the same iCloud ID you should still have you contacts, calendar and other iCloud stuff.

Cant find video on ipod nano 3rd gen

as the title says really, managed to get the video on the ipod but doesnt even have the option to watch a video!

Did you find a solution? I am having the exact same problem...

When I sync my iPod nano 3rd gen to iTunes, it says that my contacts can't be synced because there are none, but I defninately have contacts. I didn't have this problem before.

I didn't have this problem before and I have no idea what's wrong. Is it just because it's a newer computer or newer system? The contacts (that I know I have) just don't sync.

Go to the Apple icon in the upper left corner and select 'About this Mac' - it will show you which version of OSX you are using.

You can't. The most you can do is report is missing to the police.

When I plug in my iPod nano 4th gen to iTunes, a lot of space is taken up by 'other'. What is this and how can I get rid of it to free up some space?

When I plug in my iPod nano 4th gen to iTunes and click on my iPod, I can see a graph showing how much space is available on my iPod and what it is being taken up by. A lot of space is taken up by 'other'. What is this? I have a big iTunes library, with about 2000 songs, so I don't want all this space taken up by something I don't know what it is. How can I get rid of it?

OmniDiskSweeper is a good program to see what's taking up space: http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnidisksweeper/

Hi bigmike94610,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
For iPod nano troubleshooting I would suggest the troubleshooting outlined in the following web link. I would suggest working through the steps in the order presented on the website, but you may ultimately need to restore your iPod.

IPod Nano 3rd Gen won't play AIFF files from Logic Pro 9

Hi, so I've bounced a few tracks I was working on in Logic pro 9 as AIFF files, imported them into iTunes and then synced them down to both an iPod Touch 2nd gen and this iPod Nano 3rd Gen. The tracks play fine on the iPod Touch, but on the Nano, when I try to play a track, it shoes the "player" screen for a second, but it always bounces back to the track listing.
According to the iPod Nano 3rd gen spec sheet, it does support AIFF files:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP14
Any idea as to why this is happening?
Also, I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.4, iTunes 9.2 and I reset the iPod nano just before starting this whole project.
I'd like to keep the tracks in AIFF if possible...

Greetings WonderfulT1,
If you are having an issue with being unable to start your iPod nano when it is not connected to the computer, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps on this page -

How long will a 5 year old iPod Nano 3rd gen's battery last?

Hello,
I am thinking about buying a used mint green iPod Nano 3rd gen off of ebay. I was wondering how long the battery would last?
Thanks,
themiz

i found this from another user and it worked for me!
I had the exact same problem about 10 minutes ago. I was freaking out because I'm going on vacation soon and I was getting all worked up because none of my three power sources were charging it and it wasn't even turning on at all. Mine is also refurbished.
I called Support and the automated phone person gave me these steps:
1. Plug the iPod into the computer
2. Set it down on a flat surface
3. Take index fingers and hold menu and center button for about 5 seconds (it actually took me 20 seconds)
It then connected to the computer and turned on. I don't know why trying to reset it normally didn't work but try this and I hope it helps!!

Mac ipod nano 3rd gen - to windows xp

Hey every body,
I currently own a ipod nano 3rd gen. I however have mbp at home(where the nano is registerd) Till yesterday i saved a file on my nano. Tried opening the file today on the pc. However it does not come up. It says that the nano is not formatted. Anyone know how i can access this file?

As far as I know you can't. A PC can't read a Mac-formatted iPod is the problem.
If you have to use the Nano on both OS, you will have to have the Nano in PC format. A Mac can read a PC formatted iPod, but not the other way around, as I said above.
