I bought music on my 3rd generation iPod touch, and now it won't play on my computer.

When I synced the songs, they show in iTunes in gray, with a sort of recyle symbol. I have iOS 5.

HELP!

  • I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list.

    I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list. I've confirmed the mac address is included on that list and that the password is correct. Under choses netwrok I select the network and it just goes into a spin. I have tried removing the password and the access list settings and it still will not complete the connection to the router thus no internet access. The routers firmware is also up to date. This thing worked fine before this update and I've already tried to restore from backup. Any ideas or is the wifi nic bad in this thing with the new apple firmware update? Any fix?

    Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

  • 3rd Generation ipod touch and instagram

    I have a 3rd generation ipod touch and I was wondering how do I go about adding pictures to instagram since it doesn't have a camera. Is there a good camera app I can download?

    You have to import the photos such as by syncing them from your computer or saving them from an email attachment. Import from DropBox may also work.
    I really do not understand  what you  mean by a camera app sine the 3G does not have a camera.

  • HT1353 I just purchased a 3rd generation Ipod Touch and the latest software is iOS 4.2.1 and I'd like to download some Apps (facebook, words with friends, etc.), but they all need iOS 5. Help!

    I just purchased a used 3rd generation Ipod Touch and the latest software is iOS 4.2.1 and I have been trying to download apps (Facebook, Words w/Friends, etc.), but they all say I need to have iOS 5. Help!

    Here are some tools to search for compatible apps (The first one is my recommendation).
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    I personally havent looked for any clones of Words With Friends, but I bet you can find something.
    Here are a couple apps which say they are compatible with Facebook:
    Chatnow for Facebook
    Friends Planet 2

  • Hi! I bought a song on itunes, and now it won't play on my computer or iPod. Itunes on my computer keeps telling me that I'm not authorized to play the song on my computer, even after reauthorizing it. Is there anything I can do to play the song?

  • I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one?

    I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one? If it could be fixed, how much would it cost?

    If it is still under warranty you can call the 800 number to apple and enter the serial number and it will tell you if it is under warranty or not if not its like $30 basically for them to help or something like that it said today when i called...
    Or take it to a genius bar if you have one near?
    Or further explain what setting you are needing fixed back and im sure someone here can help you for free!

  • 3rd generation iPod Touch and Video Out - "whoops!!!"

    Before I jump to any conclusions about Apple, here is my experience with the Video out operation of my brand new 3rd generation 64 GB iPod Touch. This is my third iPod and about a year ago I decided (at great personal expense) to purchase the Apple Composite AV Cable (despite the fact that you can buy copies of the cable on eBay for 1/10th the price). When I plugged this cable into my new iPod touch, the Video Out option was greyed out. I tried lots of different things but eventually gave up and went to the Apple Store to see what it said about compatability. Sure enough, the 3rd Generation Touch is the ONLY iPod, iPhone etc not mentioned. I call my friendly apple support person who says "*of course it will work, I am 100% sure*". I then jokingly asked if he would give me $1000 if he was wrong and begrudgingly he put me on hold "just to check". 15 minutes later (unusual for Apple) he came back to me saying that *I "might" be right but he was 100% sure that if I connected my cable via a Universal Dock it would work.*
    Now, before I go out and spend any more money on a Universal Dock, has anybody tried this? Why would apple make the change ONLY to the 3rd Gen iPod touch?
    I have noticed that there is one nasty non-apple cable on the market that claims it will work BUT it doesn't have the ability to charge...... besides I ONLY buy legit Apple products.
    Any comments?

    Wow Apple pulled tha last post almost as quick as it was written.
    I have been in the IT industry for 18 years, when I started out I read the Mac bible and got a job supporting 1000 macs (remember the wonderful days of the symbol of the little bomb and all you could do is re-install the OS - what a joke). We ditched the Mac due to limited application support (nothing has changed much has it). I did not look at another apple product for 15 years, got a Touch for free ( CC points) Firmware 2.2, loved the little bugger, had a whole new respect for Apple. Happily got 2 cables from eBay for $5.00 for both, video to the tv, charging, audio, best of all worlds. Then, I upgrade to version 3.01 for $5.00, what a deal, copy paste, etc. till I plug in my cables and nothing works anymore. Take it to the car for my FM receiver,. only mono now. Oh sorry you now have to dish out $50.00 for our cables (the /B version not the /A cause we even screwed our customers that bought our own cables) and oh ya you can only buy over priced FM receiver products that pay bloated license fees to Apple. Then we come to your story, you buy "Only Apple products" which do not work (check for the /A model of the cable, you need the /B (/B= Buy again?? Maybe) and then the support guy tells your to go out and spend yet another $50.00 on a universal dock and you are asking if you should do it. Sure spend another $50.00 for the chip enabled dock, it will work, hmm, I think I have put together a pc for less than $100.00

  • HT4972 I have the 3rd generation ipod touch and it is saying that version 4.2.1 is the current version and there is no mention of ios5

    Apple says ios 5 works with the 3rd generation ipod but the highest os i have is 4.2.1?!?!?! help!

    If 4.2.1 is the latest version, then you have a 2nd gen iPod, not 3rd.

  • I was using my 3rd generation ipod touch and i turned it off and the loading screen wont turn off to allow my ipod to turn off, help!!

    I was using my 3G ipod touch and i slid the power off button to turn it off and the loading screen before it shuts off wont allow my ipod to turn off. i cant do anything because my ipod has the loading screen still on it. HELP!!

    Try a hard reset.  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  Then try shutting your iPod off again.

  • I downloaded iTunes 11.4 so I could set up an iPod Touch, and now it won't open at all. Can someone please tell me how to fix it?

    As mentioned - I was trying to set up an iPod Touch, and it kept telling me "open iTunes," so it dawned on me that I probably needed to update it. So I updated it, and now it just doesn't open (it bounces once, and that's it).
    For added info:
    I have a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X version 10.6.8.
    Technically I keep all my music on an external hard drive, but I don't think anything is corrupted (because it was working fine just before I updated it).
    Thank you.

    Hi, JEvansIII.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Try resetting your System Management Controller or SMC then launch iTunes after processing these steps.  If the issue persists, try downloading a fresh copy of iTunes by accessing the second link below.

  • Updated my iPod Touch and now it won't turn on.

    I updated my iPod Touch and it wiped everything off of it. I let it charge overnight and now it's powered off and will not reboot and it isn't detected by iTunes. Sleep/Home button restart not working nor is recovery mode. Any thoughts? Driving me nuts, no prior issues or mistreatment.

    You can see if DFU mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore it.

  • I have a 3rd Generation Ipod touch and it is updated to the 5.0.0 OS. However I just got another 3rd generation 32gb IPod Touch--it is exactly the same, but it will not update on any computer I have authorized. I have tried restoring it HELP!!

    The Icloud on the newer i pod will not activate and itunes will not let me download my icloud songs on itunes that i bought on my other ipod how do I update the new ipod and add icloud so i can put my music on it???

    What happens when you try to update/restore Erro message?
    Is is a 2G iPod? They look the same.
    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.

  • I just got the refurbished 3rd generation iPod touch and although I keep going to wallpaper and selecting a photo and "setting" it, it doesn't save. My background is still black. What do I do?

    I've tried both settings>wallpaper to select a photo and also gone into my photos folder and pushing "set as wallpaper" so I don't know what to try next. I've also tried changing the background to one of the preloaded images and it still didn't work.

    Yes, that's the 3rd-gen iPod. What version of iOS is on the iPod? Have you tried restarting it?
