  • How to resync third generation iPod Touch after backup and restore and re installation of the operating system?

    Hello.  I have a third generation iPod Touch that I have been having problems with the cover art not displaying by the correct artists and the volume automatically adjusting after spell check has corrected a word.  I backed up and restored the device and reinstalled the operating system, which fixed the bug I experienced with the album art not displaying next to the correct artists.  Since that has happened, my computer no longer recognizes my iPod.  How can I get it to recognize the iPod Touch again?

    Make sure you have the laters version of iTunes. The latest is 11.1
    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    Run this to help if it identifies the cause

    Have you tried on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem?

  • HT4962 how i get ios 5 on my ipod 3g becuase the version is too old 4.2.1

    how i get ios 5 on my ipod 3g becuase the version is too old 4.2.1

    Very likely since yu really have a 2G iPod. Those only go to 4.2.1. If your is an 8 or 16 GB one it is a 2G since Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods. A 32 GB one can be either. See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPod_touch_late2009
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

  • No "Podcast" playlist on third generation iPod

    In iTunes, all of my podcasts are in their own group or playlist (as are the Audiobooks). However, when I try to transfer them to my third generation iPod, the Audiobooks playlist goes over but the Podcast one does not.
    I have my iPod set up to manage manually and I can transfer the Podcasts over that way, but once they are there they disappear. I can't find them in any playlists or under the artist name or anything. How can I find these? Some of them are quite large so I'd like to delete them from my tiny 15GB iPod!

    I'm thinking I may have a more serious problem...this iPod will not reset. Instead of getting the start-up screen (Apple), the screen lits up and then dims without resetting, no matter how long you hold the menu/select buttons.
    Thanks.

  • Where can I buy a wall charger for a third generation iPod Touch?

    Does anyone know where I can buy a wall charger for a third generation iPod Touch?  I am giving this iPod to my father because I want to buy myself a fifth generation iPod Touch for my birthday.  Could I just get an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 or 4S wall charger and use that?  I used my brother's iPhone 3GS wall charger, when I was visiting him out of state, and it worked just fine. 

    Any wall charger with a USB port will work. You can go to Target or BestBuy and other places too. An iPhone charger is fine.

    The only theoretical solution is an USB ExpressCard adapter and FireWire ExpressCard. I don't know if anyone's actually attempted it.

  • How do I get my 6th generation Ipod to shuffle AND REPEAT all songs in a playlist?

    How do I get my 6th generation Ipod to shuffle AND REPEAT all songs in a playlist (continual playing)?

    You could get a cable such as this one.
    http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat_id=1526&sku=35502
    It has the dock connector on one end fro connection to the iPod and then two connectors on the other end, one for connecting to the firewire charger you use and the other to connect to the usb port on your computer to sync the iPod. You can sync and charge at the same time.
    Alternatively, you could explore the possibility of installing a high speed card to your computer such as this one.

    I'm not saying that is the one you need (I know nothing at all about your particular computer), I'm just using this as an example of what I mean.

  • Third generation ipod help

    I recently purchased a used third generation ipod and also purchased a firewire cable for it, the battery currently is dead on the ipod, I dont seem to have a firewire connection on my PC, are they on most computers? I also notice when i plug the ipod into the USB port windows doesn't recognize its there.

    I dont seem to have a firewire connection on my PC, are they on most computers?
    FireWire ports are not common on PCs, but are available on all recent Macs.
    I also notice when i plug the ipod into the USB port windows doesn't recognize its there.
    Plug the iPod into its power adaptor or a car adaptor to charge it; until it's charged, the computer will not recognize it. You cannot charge a third generation iPod from a computer's USB port.
