HT1414 What If you have a iPod 3rd gen?

how do I get IOS 5 on my ipod

Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the latest compatible version.

    Hi,
    Try resetting your iPod:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430. 
    If that doesn't work, try restoring it:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414. 
    If all else fails, you will have to place your iPod in Recovery Mode:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808. 
    Hope this helps!

  • 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.

  • I have a ipod 3rd generation and it does not show up on my desktop or in itunes

    I have an ipod 3rd gen and it wont show up on my desk top or in itunes. help please.

    This is an iPod shuffle 3rd gen?  I realize this forum category is for the shuffle, but sometimes people post in the wrong category, so I want to confirm your iPod is not a 3rd gen iPod "classic" or 3rd gen iPod nano...
    Assuming it's a 3rd gen shuffle (the one with no control buttons on the shuffle), are you using the USB cable that came with it?  There are third-party replacement cables that will fit, but if it's made for the 2nd gen shuffle, it will not work with a 3rd (or 4th) gen shuffle.  The connector is different.

  • IPod 3rd Gen Not Connecting to Windows AT ALL

    i have an iPod 3rd Gen 10gb. I use firewire to connect it to my iPod. When i connect it, it shows that it is charging but that is all. my computer won't recognize it at all. i tried a new cable, a new firewire card, i bought a USB cable, reinstalling iPod software and iTunes, the 4 R's obviously not restoring cuz it wont connect. i basically tried everything but no luck. any help would be appreciated.

    Do you use iTunes 7? If so please read the Topic I posted. Apperently I got the same problem with a new Nano. I discovered that when you attach the iPod DURING a Windows XP reboot it WILL WORK and see the iPod ...... until you disconnect again.
    Please see the Topic I posted:

  • How to Connect iPod 3rd Gen to Mac Mini

    I have two iPod 3rd gen's but can not connect it to my Mac Mini due to the sync cable which connects to firewire.        I've tried looking for some type of adaptor that will allow me to connect the 3G sync cable to my mini but am having no luck. 
    If anyone has a suggestion or can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks !
    Chuck  :- )

    OK - just figured out that this is a 2nd generation ipod (20GB). It has a firewire port at the top with a cover over it. I just got off the phone with Apple Tech support and they suggested I try the forums, etc. They didn't know how to connect this ipod to a USB port. Anyone have any ideas?

    Hi Becki ..
    You need to "authorize" the Mac.
    Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
    Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.

  • Which IPod to buy my wife please? What do you have?

    Hey Kids,,
    Last Ipod I bought was the 5th Gen Vid, around 2006...my wife wants a new one as the dial isn't responding well. Most of her use is audiobooks, like 90% of why she owns one..I know nothing about the "touch" or Nano, also GB must be fairly high as most E-books have as much data as a feature length film. I'm not worried about saving, I'm a tech Geek and never go cheap on my electronics..based on that info, can you offer suggestions which I should look at please? What do you have? Do you like it? The drawbacks?
    Thanks so much for your valuable time..
    Wyattspoppa

    That all depends on how much she is willing to learn. The iPod touch would be a great option capability-wise, but it might be a steeper learning curve coming from an iPod video. So really, no one knows your wife as well as you do, so the best thing to do is to visit an Apple Store or another authorized reseller and let her spend some time with each iPod hands-on.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why is my ipod so slow and laggy? i have lots of space on it, my history is deleted, i dont have multiple apps running! I have an iPod 4th Gen for about 2 years now and I don't know what to do.... Please help

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
