Ipod 3rd Gen won't sync

It's been syncing just fine. Now after running the update for Itunes it won't sync at all. Out of 599 songs on the ipod i'd say maybe only 24 are still on my computer or have been bought from the Istore. What can i do, to get 3 new songs onto my Ipod.

    Make sure you have some free space and if you do then buy a new syncing cable

  • Ipod 5th Gen won't sync?

    This is the 3rd Ipod i have attached to my Itunes, but for some reason it won't sync?
    I've removed all of the previous devices from the account, but it just gets stuck at Step 6 (waiting for changes to be applied) and then cuts out. I had this for christmas, but i don't think i've managed to sync a single track yet. The only way i can get music onto it is to go through my "purchased" list on the store and re-download everything to the device, but with having bought new CD's, i can't do this and means i can't listen to my new music.
    I've tried syncing over wifi, manually managing the music and just selecting just a couple of albums in the music tab of my ipod, but nothing seems to work? I'm on the latest software update (7.0.6) and i've just downloaded the updated itunes from this morning.
    any ideas?
    edit: just noticed that on the drop down box below, it's only listing my ipod 3rd gen as my registered products, but my 5th gen is showing as authorised on my account details, so now sut if this has something to do with it ?

    ok, looks like i've sorted the problem - i just kept hitting the sync button and eventually it decided to play ball andis now copying 650 songs over wifi

  • My iPod nano 3rd gen won't sync to my iTunes.

    I was charging my iPod when it ended up going to a white screen. I reset it like I was suppose to and that didn't help, so I connected it to my laptop and restored it via iTunes like another post on this forum had suggested. I went back through the setup and did everything the way I had the first time and now it won't sync to my iTunes library. When I go to the iPod tab and select sync, it loads for maybe half a second and stops on my computer screen, then the iPod will show that it's syncing for a few more seconds and then it stops and there is no media on the iPod. Can anyone maybe help me figure this out? Thanks in advance.

    I am trying to sync my 3rd gen nano as well with itunes 10 but in my case I can see the removable drive in the Finder. I can eve write files to this mounted drive.
    When I connect the same nano to my Windows XP which also has itunes 10 it shows up with the starting config screen.

  • Ipod Touch 3rd Gen won't sync with windows

    I've tried all the different troubleshooting through Apple but can't get my Ipod Touch 3rd Gen to show up on windows much less sync with Itunes.  I just went through the process of fixing my Iphone so I know that Itunes is properly installed and the other drivers should be good.  I even turned on Bonjour, which the one of the trouble shooting steps exposed.   Any tips other then buy a new Ipod touch?

    Did you do everything here:

    Including
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    New cable and different USB port?
    Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • My Ipod Nano (3rd Gen) won't sync with Itunes. Help!

    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.

    CORRECTION IT IS A 4TH GEN.

  • Ipod touch 3rd gen won't sync with itunes..i know i have to replace the battery as it won't hold a charge.

    It turns on fine, appears to charge but will not hold a charge..It won't sync with my Mac Book Pro, iMac, PC or Netbook.  Do you think it is the battery?

    What happens when you try to sync? Error messages?
    An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store might be useful.

  • Ipod 3rd Gen begins to sync then ejects

    My 3rd Gen has worked perfectly until today.  I plugged it in, it begins to sync and appears in iTunes and then says on the iPod that it is ejecting and won't sync.  It still appears in iTunes, but won't allow changes and when I try to sync it says it cannot because the disk is not available.  Windows 7 iTunes 12.1 (latest version)

    Adding to this issue.  I am able to sync my iPhone 6 and an iPhone 4S to this computer.  I use the same cord for the iPhone 4S and the iPod Nano.  Phone will sync fine, Nano will not.  I have tried syncing the Nano using every other USB port on this computer and no luck.  The same thing happens with the Nano when I try to sync it on my other two computers.  I have tried doing a soft reset on the Nano, no luck.  The problem is also happening now with another Nano 5th gen and a shuffle.  I can't believe there is not more support out there for this issue.  Am I really the only one who is having these problems? I have even gone so far as to re-install iTunes, turn off computer and unplug power supply to clear all cache's.  I'm out of ideas.  Someone please help...

  • My iPod 3rd gen won't update past 4.2.1

    As stated, my 3rd gen iPod won't update past 4.2.1, is this the cap for iOS on 3rd gen, or can it go higher?

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    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.

  • IPod 3rd gen won't restore

    I have a 3rd gen iPod shuffle I bought a month ago. It's been working great until one day I went to listen to it and it told me to "Please restore iPod on iTunes." I did so, got all my songs back onto the iPod and went to eject it. When I hit eject using iTunes, it tells me that "The iPod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application." It won't let me restore it either for the same reason. When I eject the iPod from my Finder it ejects fine. However, when I plug my headphones in and turn it on, I can't get any music to play. Please help?!

    Go to your computer's System Tray and try ejecting.  If you can't eject, there is an application that is trying to access your iPod.
    Go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx and download ProcessExplorer.
    Go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555665 and follow the instructions under Resolution.
    Note that this is a good, general process any time you can't access any file.
    In my case an update to RealPlayer installed a program called RecordingManager that was accessing my iPod.

  • IPod 3rd Gen 30gb wont sync with iTunes, but works fine and shows up in windows explorer

    Hi, My sister-in-laws ipod classic 3rd gen ipod is being wierd. Therres a few problems. First and foremost when we plug it into her windows XP laptop and open the latest version of itunes, which we uninstalled and reinstalled the message "The software required for this ipod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes to install the required software." which we allready did. I also did everything in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363?viewlocale=en_US but when i selected the usbappl file as the driver it didnt reconize it as a driver. I also ran itunes dianostics and restarted the apple mobile device service and fixed all other issues. The ipod shows up fine in the windows explorer any help is appreciated.

    That is a 4th gen iPod, and it should work with a USB port (or a FireWire port).
    If you have not done a standard Restore on the iPod using iTunes, you may want to do that next.  The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.  So, if the cause is related to software (or data corruption), and there is no hardware issue, a Restore should fix it.
    WARNING:  The 4th gen iPod (when used on a USB port) will ask that you connect it to a USB power adapter as the last step in the Restore process.  These white square power adapters originally came with this model.  If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, you will not be able to complete the Restore, and the iPod will become non-functional.  So don't do it unless you have one.  A third-party power adapter may or may not work for this purpose.  The USB port on your computer does not work for this purpose.

  • Help!!! My ipod nano (3rd gen) won't sync!!

    I am very confused and need someone's expert help with my Nano.  I began downloading music like crazy.  All was working well, suddenly one day, my ipod will no longer work on my computer; not recognized.  I try everything I can think of, finally resorting to restoring my ipod to factory beginnings.  Which wipes out all of my music.  I think I am safe because Itunes will save it all.  Not to be!! I lost it all there too.  I began loading all my music again.  Took me forever.  Laptop now recognizes my ipod, and all the music is on it, but I cannot add any of it to Itunes.  Nor can I download any purchased music in the "new" account I have without wiping out what is on the ipod. 
    Please, please someone tell me what I have done wrong and how to fix it. I will be so grateful for any advice.

  • Ipod 3rd Gen won't hold charge

    I got a 3rd generation Ipod used for my sister for christmas, but it is having problems that I'm worried about.
    First of all, it won't charge through the usb cord hooked up to the computer. It does recognize it in ITUNES but it won't charge. I hooked it up to a wall charger, and it charges fine but it won't hold a charge for more than 10 minutes!!! Any help?

    3rd generation iPods don't charge over USB.
    If the wall charger is USB, it won't charge the iPod either.
    You will need to purchase a Firewire wall charger.

  • My Ipod touch 3rd generation won't sync apps

    Ipod touch 3rd gen won't sync apps. Can't find a trouble shooter for this. Maybe I am looking in the wrong spot. It has never happened before. What can I try?

    Thanks for the great suggestions! I just worked out how to fix it! For some reason, I had to manually transfer the purchases from the ipod to the computer (never have had to do that before). Once I did that and re-synced, it worked fine.
    BTW, answers to your questions in case it helps someone else:
    -no, I don't have restrictions
    -yes, always use the same computer to sync
    -yes, always the same account
    -yes, error message was "Itunes cannot sync apps to the ipod because the apps installed on the ipod could not be determined."
    I managed to fix it! Thanks for the help!
