RDS data display and 3rd gen iPod nano

Will RDS data be displayed for compatibile stations when using the Radio remote with 3rd gen iPod nano?

Since the iPod radio remote isn't compatible with the 3rd gen nano, the answer is probably no.
I've found that the radio/remote often does work with iPods that are not listed as compatible, but that some of the features (such as RDS) do not or at least if they do work, they're pretty hit and miss.

I have an original IPhone that can't connect to ITunes. I did a factory reset and restored to firmware version 3.1.3. Please note that both my ITouches (2nd and 3rd gen) sync to ITunes perfectly. However, the IPhone never connects. Thoughts?

OK, my original iphone has just completed a factory restore. It's connected to my laptop, and ITunes restored it to firmware 3.1.3. Now, I can't connect to the ITunes store. I get an error message every time stating connection timed out, or something to that effect. Well, both my IPod Touch 2nd gen and 3rd gen connect perfectly to ITunes, so I doubt it's related to proxy settings, firewalls, or anything of the sort (believe me, I've spend 15 hours researching this without an answer). So, is there a problem with the original iphone with version 3.1.3 syncing with ITunes version 10.5.1 (the most recent one)?
I would LOVE an answer as this is driving me crazy.
Thanks.

Mine had a SIM in it. Originally, when I took out the SIM and tried to restore it with nothing in it, it wouldn't work without a SIM card. So ... I took the SIM that was in that phone previously, put it back in and completed the system restore. I then proceeded to go through the process with AT&T of adding a data plan, which I did, and then it successfully completed the system restore. However, now if I run diagnostics on it, it will not verify ITunes Store. If I try to connect to ITunes store, I'll get the network connection timed out error I referenced earlier in this thread. I'm considering jailbreaking it and putting on an earlier software version. Your thoughts?

Please help.... do I have a 2nd or 3rd gen iPod touch?

I bought an iPod Touch for my father in February from an Amazon seller (happybook1). I ordered a 3rd generation iPod Touch on purpose because I don't have Snow Leopard OS and I wanted to be able to plug it into my OS 10.4 computer.
Yesterday my father decided to bite the bullet and asked me to upgrade his iPod Touch from iOS 3.1 to iOS 4.1. However, when I tried it kept freezing (not the issue here). I wen't to apple.com and put the serial number into their warranty section and it said the iPod is a 2nd generation iPod!!!!!!!!!
Here is the serial number 9C035RM475J
Angrilly, I wrote the Amazon seller and insisted she give me a refund.... I couldn't believe she had sold me a 2nd generation iPod!! But she immediately responded with this:
Thank for your e-mail, the ipod I sent you is considered the 3rd gen, its part number MC086ll/A is the part number matches amazons listing category for the 3rd gen. You can find this part number on the bottom of the box as well as under settings.
The part number for the 2nd gen. touch is MB528LL/A. The model MC086ll/a does show in apples website as a 2nd gen because the only difference between the two is that the 3rd gen. model MC086ll/a came preloaded with the iphone 3.1 software and the second gen. didn't. So apple changed the part numbers and the software from the 2nd to the 3rd but it will show as a second in their website, there is no touch that shows as a 3rd gen in apples website.
Apple can verify this with you if you call them but I just wanted to explain why it shows that way in there site, but I did list it in Amazons 3rd gen. category because it is listed by the part number and they categorize it as a 3rd.
So I just wanted to let you know I didn't list it wrong you can check it by the part numbers in Amazon. Apple is up to 4.2 software version now so it will prompt you to update the software anyway when you connect it so you should have the lastet software. Is the ipod working ok now that you updated.
Now I'm confused.... do I have a 3rd gen or is this seller just lying her pants off??
I was able to restore the software into 4.1 but it is sluggish..... I'm thinking because it is really a 2nd gen with a slower processor?
Can someone please help me to figure out the truth?? Should I insist she refund me (though she probably won't) or accept this answer as the truth? Does it make a difference... the difference between 2nd adn 3rd gen?
Please help... thanks!!

Look at the back of the iPod. What model number is actually shown on the unit? And what is the capacity of the unit? If it's an 8GB iPod touch it's a second-generation, regardless of what your seller is claming. Apple never made a 3rd-generation 8GB iPod touch. Some resellers incorrectly refer to the 8GB with iOS 3 as "3rd generation", but that was never a designation approved by Apple."3rd-generation" properly only applies to the 32GB and 64GB iPods Apple released in September 2009, models which have faster hardware.

3rd gen ipod charger with ipod nano?

I have an 3rd gen ipod and i was wondering if i can use that charger for the ipod nano

Could you tell me if when using the firewire recharge connection to the computor can the comp be in sleep mode or does it have to be active as it does if you recharge with the USB?
Oh, and if any one's a PowerBook user, I'm not too sure what the cables were that came bundled with my PB, but I think one was a firewire, would that be all I needed to recharge my nano through the pooter?
Thanks

Nike + and 3rd gen ipod?

Hey. I was wondering if the Nike+ products are compatible with the small Gen. 3 ipod. I think the software is version 1.2.1 or something like that. I also recently got a mac and my ipod is formatted for windows so I think that means I can't update the software on the ipod?

I was wondering if the Nike+ products are compatible with the small Gen. 3 ipod.
If it's an iPod touch or iPod nano, yes. Otherwise, no.
I also recently got a mac and my ipod is formatted for windows so I think that means I can't update the software on the ipod?
Not without restoring the iPod, which erases its contents.

Intel iMac and 3rd Gen ipod

This problem involves iPods, but I believe has more to do with the iMac/OS X.
I installed the security update that was released in early March, and since then, neither of the two 3rd generation ipods in my house will work with my iMac. However, they WILL work with my girlfriends iBook, and she did NOT install that security update from early March.
Essentially, when I doc either of the iPods on my iMac, they freeze up, whir like crazy, and I can't even force quit. I have to just pull them off the dock and reset them by holding down play and menu. The ipods still work, and will still interact with the iBook, so I do not believe this to be a problem with the iPods themselves.
I've brought this matter up in the iPod forums, and have gotten no real resolution. People suggest the 5 Rs, but that DOES NOT fix the problem.
Any insight? Anyone?

I'm not sure why you are having problems, but my 3g iPod works great. No issues. I have all updates offered by Apple installed.
Have you tried a different firewire port & plugged directly into the Mac?
I have read on these groups of some folks having problems with firewire ports.
Also, plug it in & then run the Console (...Applications/Utilities), see what the log is saying.
Good luck,
Steve

Netflix craches after updating to IOS7 on Apple TV, both 2nd and 3rd Gen

Apple TV crashes after about 6 seconds of playing Netflix content. This happens on both my 2nd as well as 3rd Generation Apple TV's. Have done hard reboot twice to assure the latest software is loaded, Currently running 6.0 (build 6646.65)
Anybody else having this issue?

I have this problem too. My Apple TV 3rd gen with the same software build will crash and reboot multiple times in one day when starting a Netflix stream. It usually happens about 6 seconds after pressing play.
With the previous software version 5.3, almost every time I started a Netfilx stream, the screen would go black or freeze after about 6 seconds but the audio would keep playing. Version 6.0 has actually made my Netflix experience better in that if the content keeps playing there is both video and audio. Hopefully, the next update will fix the crashes though. I've reported the bug to Apple and have my Apple TV set to send data to Apple.

Dual Universal Bluetooth GPS Receiver and 3rd Gen iPod Touch

Has anyone used the Dual Universal Bluetooth GPS Receiver with a 3rd Generation iPod Touch? I understand that the Bluetooth connection only works for the headphones so I was wondering how this unit uses the Bluetooth connection. Does it work?

I was looking for a way to get around that, as it sounds plausible. But i have had iTunes on a previous machine here at the office and it worked fine. Right now, the only option i have in iTunes with it connected is to "eject" the ipod. Not neccesarrily an error # message, but one does come up that says "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your network connection is active and try again"
as for restoring at home, it just goes through the motion on the progress bar, but when it reaches around 100% it says "failed to restore. ___" i cant remember the rest as i was up til 2am, and back awake at 6am trying to figure this out...
Last night, there was no battery icon, and the screen stayed illuminated in recovery mode...i updated iTunes, and restarted my laptop at home, and now this morning the screen times out and dims, and there is all of a sudden a battery charging icon in the upper right corner. It would not "power down" at all last night...there was no "power off" slide option after holding the button(s)....this morning it will power off.
It also wouldnt connect to my car radio this morning like it would last night when i came home. The radio doesnt even recognize it anymore.
here is a quick screenshot of what i see...nothing...with it plugged up...

Ibook and 3rd gen ipod

Im switching from a windows machine to a 12inch ibook. Will my 3rd generation ipod charge (firewire cable)? or do i have to plug it into the wall. I know i will hav eto reformat the ipod anyways.
Thanks!

gabeisaman, Welcome to the discussion area!
I don't know which iPod that is exactly. If it connects via Firewire it will charge from the iBook.

Nano 2nd and 3rd gen

I am about to get my wife a 3rd gne nano but I have concerns when we sync with the computer. Can we have different itunes? Will the computer/ipods allow us to link to the same computer?
Thanks in advance

Just get a regular ipod classic or something other than a 3rd gen. This is the worst purchase I could have ever made. It won't sync, occassionally it will but usually not. It will work on my son's computer, but that is not really an option since it doesn't have all my settings so it is extremely difficult to transfer music. I am actually sending mine in for repair/replacement, hopefully they will replace, but I think since I had it engraved that I'm pretty much screwed.
Well, good luck if you do get a Nano.

I'm replacing my 3rd gen Ipod Touch with a 4th gen. How do I delete all my stuff off the 3rd gen but have it available for my 4th gen on my PC?

I'm replacing my 3rd gen 16gb Ipod Touch with a new 4th gen Ipod Touch. I'm wondering how I can delete all of the apps, photos, music, etc.
from my old Ipod but still have all of the items available to install on my new Ipod? Help please!

Right click on your old iPod in the device list and choose "transfer purchases". This will copy all bought media from your device to your iTunes library.
Back up manually by right clicking again and choosing "backup" to save all settings, 3rd party app data, contact info, calendars etc. The content of a backup is also described here: iTunes: About iOS backups
After that set it up "as new device", to delete everything and get it back to factory settings.
Connect your new iPod, let iTunes set it up and use the manual backup from your old iPod to restore from. This should sync all data back to your new device again.

Will all (both Apple proprietary and 3rd party) accesories compatible with iPad2 also be compatible with the new iPad (version 3)?

I have just pre-ordered my first iPad, and luckily my timing was perfect as I have been able to grab a first round new iPad (version 3). That said, while I wait for it to ship (due 3rd of April), I wanted to do some research and begin to buy the accesories I will want to go along with it.
Are all accessories currently available on the market and thus compatible with the iPad 2 also going to be compatible with the new iPad (version 3)? This question goes for both Apple proprietary accessories (i.e. Airport Express, Camera connector kit, Smart Cover, etc.) and 3rd party (non-Apple iPad covers / stands, etc.)?
Many thanks in adavnce.

There are two different Zagg keyboards. One of them, the Zagg Folio, is a combination keyboard and case that completely surrounds the iPad, front and back. The Zagg Folio (for iPad 2) doesn't fit the new iPad since the new iPad is thicker.
The other Zagg keyboard is the "Logitech Keyboard Case by Zagg". This keyboard grips and surrounds the front of the iPad, but doesn't go around the back. Since the new iPad has the same frontal dimensions, it's compatible with iPad 2 versions of this keyboard.

2nd or 3rd gen iPod w/ firewire.

No longer have a computer w/ firewire port. Loaded original software on new Windows computer and tried iphone cord: no luck. Should I buy a cord for a new iPod? Charging is not a problem, it's getting new music onto it. Any ideas? Thanks.
