I don't want to sync what is on my iPod to my iPad. (I have a 32gb iPod but only 16gb on iPad. The iPod I use mostly for music.) I can't seem to add the films I have downloaded onto iPad to iTunes. If I could do that, I could erase them from iPad to create more storage.
This is intensely confusing, sorry.

"I own an iPhone4, an iPod 3rd generation and an iPad 2. I use the same iTunes library but unfortunately synced iPad with a different computer before syncing to my own. Do I risk losing the films/apps I've downloaded onto my iPad if I sync with my iPod?"
Answer.....
Yes you will lose the films that you downloaded to the iPad when you sync with your own iTunes unless you transfer the purchases into your own iTunes library. Were these movies that you purchased? If so, you might be able to download them again for free. Do you have multiple computers that you sync from or is this someone else's purchased content?
You can select whatever you want to sync to all of your devices in iTunes, you do not have to sync the same content to all device.

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.

I have an apple ipod 3rd generation and it will not let me download the IOS 4.3 even though it is on the computer. Right now i have the IOS 4.2.1 and i need it upgraded. Please help.!

I just got this new ipod 3. I plugged it into the computer and i have itunes and it updated to the IOS 4.2.1 and now i have downloaded the IOS 4.3 to my computer but now how do i down load it to my ipod. ? when i open up itunes with my ipod and click summary below the picture is said backups and options.

If you can't download using your phone, then just download it from Itunes and then sync your phone.

I can´t sync my iPod 3rd Generation with iTunes library

Hello, I´ve been trying for a while to sync my iPod with my iTunes library on my PC. It does show up on Windows as a drive and iTunes seems to know there is a device plugged in but then a message appears: "iTunes could not connect to the iPod touch because an invalid response was received from the device" I´ve tried several solutions, including: restarting the iPod Service, restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service, emptying my Temp directory and restarting and changing my device´s Drive Letter. On rare occasions, when I give it another try, I manage to get the iPod recognized, but when I enter the iPod menu, the sync button appears grayed out or if I can click it and attempt to synce the iPod, it seems to happen in the computer, but no changes are made on the iPod. I´ve tried syncing only music and only "selected music and tracks" but no setting seems to be transmitted to the iPod. The iPod shows the "charging" icon but never the "syncing" icon. I hope somone can help me. I have also tried syncing over Wi-Fi, and in the iPod, I can see the Pc but it appears grayed out.
And, to my outrage, random songs have been dissapearing from the iPod randomly. It sounds weird but maybe it is because of iOS 5. I have an iPod 3rd Generation and iOS 5.1.1 (9B206). Both iTunes and my iPod say my software is up to date and maybe the iPod is too old for further updates but I only want to get my new iTunes songs into my iPod. Please somebody help me. Thanks very much!

If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Unknown Error (1418), iPod 3rd Generation help please!

So I bought a fantastic old school retro iPod 3rd Generation and I love it!
It plays fine, syncs music and all, but only through USB 2.0 (and doesn't charge!). It takes iTunes ages to recognize the iPod with Firewire. And I wish it would be quicker!
So I tried to restore it, only to get the (1418) Error. Don't worry I've read all the different forums, but still can't seem to find a solution because the fixes only seem to work on XP. Could someone please shed some light? I love the thing!
Cheers!

Hello shibby999955,
Iknow you mentioned that you have done quite a bit of research on it already, but have you had a chance to work through the troubleshooting solutions, provided in this Apple support document?
[Error 1415, 1417, 1418, 1428, 1429, 1430, 1436 or 1439: Cannot restore or update iPod in iTunes 7 or later|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1372?viewlocale=en_US]
Hope this helps.

How to reboot iPod 3rd generation

I found my old iPod 3rd Generation and I was wondering if anybody knew if there was any way how to turn it back on. Thanks.

You can get a FireWire 800 (what your Mac has) to FireWire 400 (the older type) adapter AND a FireWire docking cable (probably available on eBay or other online source). The adapter may also be called a FireWire 9-pin to 6-pin adapter. For example
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other+World+Computing/FIR1369AD/
Connect the adapter to the Mac's FireWire 800 port and docking cable to the adapter, and that should work to connect and charge your iPod.
Another way allows you to connect it with a USB port, but it requires a special docking cable AND a FireWire power adapter. The special cable has a dock connector that splits off into two cables, one with a FireWire plug and one with a USB plug. The USB connects to your Mac's USB port (for the data connection) and the FireWire connects to the FireWire power adapter (for power). This was Apple's way to allow Windows users (who usually do not have a PC with FireWire) to use iPods (before the fully USB-compatible 4th gen iPod). It is no longer sold by Apple, but I found an example on eBay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Apple-iPod-Dock-Connector-to-FireWire-and-USB-2 -0-Cable-to-your-iPod-/111300870360
Of those two methods, the one using your Mac's FireWire port with an adapter is probably better.

My iPod Mini 3rd Generation isn't recognized in My Computer or iTunes. I can't even restore it without iTunes. The same thing happened with my iPod Nano 3rd Generation, but that one worked for a while, and suddenly went unrecognized.

I have an iPod touch, 3rd generation, and when I push the button to put it to sleep, my iPod takes a screen shot. It's really annoying. Is this a result from updating to iOS 4.3.3? Also, my screen is EXTREMELY sensitive-breathe on it and it turns on.

- Are you also having problems with the Home button? Maybe it is sticking a little since to take a screen shot you depress the Home and Power/Sleep buttons at the same time.
- I have not seen your problem discussed here before.
- I would first try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next would be to restore the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

I have a 3rd generation nano ipod and after connecting it to my mac to sync my calendar, it said it no longer would sync the calendar. What's up with that???

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.
