I need help on my iPod Nano 3rd Gen.

Ok. I was really dumb so I took my iPod Nano 3rd Generation to my cousins house and he has a Win95 computer that HAS NO ITUNES! I plugged it in and it asked me if I wanted to format it to the computer so I could use it. (And it said it will change and erase everything on the iPod) SO everything was erased. All the folders. Everything. Now when I went home I plugged in my iPod to my Macbook the iPod does not connect to iTunes. It just connects to the desktop and shows up on the desktop instead on iTunes. So I right clicked on it and clicked "Get Info" the Kind: Volume and the Format: MS-DOS (FAT32). I'm gonna be in trouble if i don't know how to play songs on the iPod anymore

    I need help restoreing my ipod nano 3rd gen so its like new

    Plug it to your computer using iPod USB Cable (any cable should work excluding iPhone 5 and Shuffle cables)...... when you see your iPod in iTunes go to that iPod and click restore...... the whole process should take (depending on what you have on your iPod and its is up to date) it should take no longer than 30 minutes...... then it will ask if you want to set up as new iPod or restore from back-up (itunes back up), since you said:
    so its like new
    click set as new iPod and follow through what they said.

  • Ipod nano 3rd gen unit is locked, though never have done a manual lock on it. Screen is lit and lock button shows.  Have latest itunes, but nothing syncs.  Have done everything on supports pages including toggle hold button, etc. Screen stays locked. Help

    ipod nano 3rd gen unit windows xp.   Nano is locked, though never have done a manual lock on it. Screen is lit and lock button shows.  Have latest itunes, but nothing syncs.  Have done everything on supports pages including toggle hold button, etc. Screen stays locked. Help please.

    Sounds like the hold switch is broken, meaning you'll need to have your iPod serviced/replaced either by Apple or a third party repair company.

  • IPod Nano 3rd Gen Issues: would be grateful for any help

    Dear all,
    I recently purchased an iPod Nano 3rd Gen for my wife. I have been using a mac for 7 years, still have my first iPod 5GB scroll wheel as well as a 60 GB iPod video 5.5 Gen.
    Here's what's happening.
    iPod Nano connected via dock (which is in a USB hub...could that cause problems?)
    Connect, sync, no worries.
    Update iPod Nano software to 1.0.2.
    iPod then, halfway through syncing, flashes the Apple Logo every 6-7 secs and then does the same again.
    It is not recognised in iTunes like that.
    Any help?
    A hopeful Dan

    Hi,
    Same thing just happened to me - I have put the Nano 3G into disk mode (hold Menu and Select for 10 seconds then immediately hold Play/Pause and Select).
    Just doing a factory restore now, that should bring it back to a brand new state and will try again from there.

  • Need help with my ipod nano

    Hi,
    I need help with my ipod nano.
    I haven't turned it on in a while and suddenly it stops working when I try to turn it on again.
    Sometimes it displays:
    "www.apple.com/support/ipod"
    And right now it's displaying "OK to disconnect".
    Could somebody please advice what should I do?
    Thank you

    I need help.
    I have my IPOD nano for a while now and about a week ago. My husband bought one for his newphew and he had me download all the songs into the new IPOD (2nd Generation). Now Im having problems with mine. Everytime I try to charge and usually the screen will pop up to my original music player. This is what it says now when I open or charge my IPOD.
    "The File iTunes Library.it! cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes".
    Now, that I listen to it...all the music skip. Please help me..what should I do??
    Thank you

  • HT1329 hi i need help with my ipod nano i want to get my music from my ipod to i tunes so that i can be able to transfer the music on my i tunes to my ipad mini can you help me with that ?

    hi i need help with my ipod nano i want to transfer my music from the ipod to the itunes so that i can be able to transfer the music to my ipad can you help me with that ?

    You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like"iPod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
    Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your iTunes library, and then sync your iPad.

    My Ipod nano 3rd gen stopped syncing with my Itunes for some reason. I switched the cords and it still doesn't sync. It doesn't even show the little lightning bolt on the battery and more.

  • IPOD NANO 3rd Gen problem Apple Mac set up PC BASED MAIN UNIT

    I have been asked by a friend to help out because they asked to add music to their new IPOD. But the owner is a tech scared person. They gave the unit an IPOD NANO 3rd Gen to my friend who uses Apple MAC they set up the IPOD with their Itunes and added the songs.
    Later they wanted new tracks but have now downloaded ITUNES to their own PC Windows Vista system. The tracks were added to a USB memory stick and transfered and added to the PC Vista ITUNES. But now the IPOD Nano will not register on the Windows Vista ITUNES system but will show up on the "My computer"
    I have reset the nano by holding the on/off and menu etc to get the Apple logo, the unit beeps as does the laptop PC Based ITUNES etc but will still not register on the ITUNES or allow me to sync the music from the ITUNES to the IPOD.
    Can anyone advise how I can reformat the IPOD or reset the IPOD and remove all music currently on it to start again but get it to register/set up and show on the ITUNES on the windows VISTA unit rather than the mac based system.
    Thanks,
    Global_mongrel

    Hey, I bought an iPod nano 3rd gen yesterday and I have exactly the same prolem you are describing in your message. Have you found any solution to this?

  • Ipod nano 3rd gen (click wheel)

    I currently have a ipod nano 3rd gen with a click wheel. I have uninstalled, reinstalled itunes and rebooted my computer already (I have windows XP). It shows up in "My Computer" as unknown but itunes will not reconize the ipod is connected, but does with my other ipod. I've tried changing the drive letter on this 3rd gen; but it wont appear to even change the drive letter. I believe I need to download the drivers (its what i had to do with my previous ipod) but I would like a clue where to download the drivers from, or someone to shed any light and a solution for this issue. My ulitmate goal is to get itunes to reconize it so that I can restore the ipod
    Thanks.

    Clickwheel games are no longer available in the iTunes store.  Sorry.

  • My iPod nano 3rd gen went mad then all the songs were gone can I get them back

    My iPod nano 3rd gen wiped all my music can I recover it

    If it's no longer in iTunes or stored in a backup anywhere, I"m afraid you are out of luck. 
    For music purchased in iTunes, you can redownload it again no cost via iCloud if you live in a country where this service has gone live.  See this article for more details.

    As for music imported from outside of iTunes, you'll need to rerip those into iTunes if at all possible.

  • Will my computer read my new ipod nano 3rd gen?

    i just bought a new ipod nano 3rd gen from circuit city before i opened it i looked on the back and saw system requirments it says nothing about being compatible with windows xp media center edition and i have windows XP media center edition 2002 sp2. will the ipod nano 3rd gen work with my computer?

    Yes it will work fine. iTunes just needs XP and doesn't really care what sort of crazy version that came with whatever computer you bought. It is still just XP maybe configured or a little more specifically.
