How to put ipod 3rd generation on the disk mode manually?

how to put ipod 3rd generation on the disk mode manually?

I am having this problem as well. I've tried dozens of times at this point. I can produce the apple icon but when I release and press play+select it just reverts back to the red x. The red x is the whole reason I'm trying to get this into disk mode. I need to reset it but I can't until it is in disk mode. I've tried the flat surface, one finger etc etc but disk mode still eludes me. Any other thoughts?

  • How to reboot iPod 3rd generation

    I found my old iPod 3rd Generation and I was wondering if anybody knew if there was any way how to turn it back on. Thanks.

    You can get a FireWire 800 (what your Mac has) to FireWire 400 (the older type) adapter AND a FireWire docking cable (probably available on eBay or other online source).  The adapter may also be called a FireWire 9-pin to 6-pin adapter.  For example
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other+World+Computing/FIR1369AD/
    Connect the adapter to the Mac's FireWire 800 port and docking cable to the adapter, and that should work to connect and charge your iPod.
    Another way allows you to connect it with a USB port, but it requires a special docking cable AND a FireWire power adapter.  The special cable has a dock connector that splits off into two cables, one with a FireWire plug and one with a USB plug.  The USB connects to your Mac's USB port (for the data connection) and the FireWire connects to the FireWire power adapter (for power).  This was Apple's way to allow Windows users (who usually do not have a PC with FireWire) to use iPods (before the fully USB-compatible 4th gen iPod).  It is no longer sold by Apple, but I found an example on eBay
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Apple-iPod-Dock-Connector-to-FireWire-and-USB-2 -0-Cable-to-your-iPod-/111300870360
    Of those two methods, the one using your Mac's FireWire port with an adapter is probably better.

  • HT4962 Any ideas how to get my software updated on my IPOD 3rd Generation when my computer times out?  I have tried several times and it appears to take 30 plus hours. How Frustrating, not to mention the kids are too!

    If the iTunes purchases are not in your iTunes library you can redownload them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If you restore from backup, not that synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup and thus if those items are not in the iTunes library they can't be restored to the iPod during the latter part of the restore process.

    I have a cable to connect the two devices but, unlike my PC (which I am hoping to put away in the loft forever!) there does not seem to be a sync option in iTunes

  • HT1535 I own an iPhone4, an iPod 3rd generation and an iPad 2. I use the same iTunes library but unfortunately synced iPad with a different computer before syncing to my own. Do I risk losing the films/apps I've downloaded onto my iPad if I sync with my i

    I don't want to sync what is on my iPod to my iPad. (I have a 32gb iPod but only 16gb on iPad. The iPod I use mostly for music.) I can't seem to add the films I have downloaded onto iPad to iTunes. If I could do that, I could erase them from iPad to create more storage.
    This is intensely confusing, sorry.

    Question.....
    "I own an iPhone4, an iPod 3rd generation and an iPad 2. I use the same iTunes library but unfortunately synced iPad with a different computer before syncing to my own. Do I risk losing the films/apps I've downloaded onto my iPad if I sync with my iPod?"
    Answer.....
    Yes you will lose the films that you downloaded to the iPad when you sync with your own iTunes unless you transfer the purchases into your own iTunes library. Were these movies that you purchased? If so, you might be able to download them again for free. Do you have multiple computers that you sync from or is this someone else's purchased content?
    You can select whatever you want to sync to all of your devices in iTunes, you do not have to sync the same content to all device.

    i have a ipod 3rd generation when i try to update it its says i have the latest version

    Look at the back of the iPod. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. The 2nd generation iPod touch is model A1288, and 3rd generation iPod touch is model A1318. If you have a second-generation iPod touch, the last release of iOS is can run is 4.2.1.
