There is no speaker in a 3rd Generation Nano, only the 5th Generation Nano has a speaker.
The 3rd Generation does have a transducer to produce clicks, beeps, etc.

My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked. It only plays through it's internal speaker. All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc). How do I fix this?

I would try in oreder:
- Resetting the iPod:
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.
- Restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Can I connect my 3rd generation iPod shuffle to external speakers

Can I connect my 3rd generation IPod shuffle to external speakers? When I plug it into an external speaker, it stops playing and I don't hear any music. The controls eg. Volume, play etc is on the earplug cord. Thanks

Not for more than 10% off the price of a new one. You're better off selling it to a third-party.

Device for hooking ipod to external speakers...?

I have a 40g ipod and would like to hook it up to a set of external speakers on my deck. Is there a device for hooking up the ipod to external speakers?? I know about the docking systems (i.e. Bose, etc.) and the stereo receiver hookup, but is there an individual amplifier device avaiable to just be a go-between the ipod and speakers?? I don't feel like bringing my stereo reciever outside and I want the ability to change songs....
Sorry if this is a repeat question...I did a qucik search and didn't see anything.
- thanks REV

How to use iPod Shuffle with external Speakers

I tried using iPod Shuffle but its not working with external speakers.
Please let me know if there is any way i can use it in External Speakers

Is iPod shuffle is compatible with small or table speakers or external speakers?

Is iPod shuffle is compatible with external speakers?

Yes, you can connect POWERED external speakers like you connect your headphones. The speaker system does need to be self-powered (has its own power supply), like the type made for connecting to your computer's audio output. And not the type of speakers that connect to a living room stereo system.
NOTE: Unlike other "big" iPods (and the 1st gen shuffle), you cannot charge the (2nd-4th gen) shuffle's battery and play the shuffle at the same time.

HT1665 how come i cant use other headphones or external speakers with my ipod

how come i cant use headphones or external speakers with my ipod.sood as you plug either in there is no sound.

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

Connect an ipod to external speakers and amplifer

how can i connect an ipod to external speakers and amplifer

Rex,
Since the toslink is optical, the 3.5mm adapter will not work for you as it is only ment as a conversion to a mini-toslink cable. Your first option of using the DAC, is in my opinion the best and perhaps only way to get audio out without going to a fancy amp or tuner first.
One option that I'm considering is the Bose Solo TV sound system. It might set you back about 4-Grant's, but I generally enjoy the sound of bose for most music/tv/movie purposes; and it has a direct optical audio input that you can run either from your tv or your ATV. Whatever audio you're sending to your TV via the HDMI, should go to these speakers through your HDTV's toslink output with equal digital clarity.
I've read a few other posts on the apple discussion forum which lead me to believe that the optical output of the ATV might not work so well after the 5.2 update... so whatever I do, it won't be JUST for use with the ATV.

I had my ipod stolen:( I am considering getting IPAD 2 , can I attach the IPAD to the external speakers $$ for listening to music?

I had my IPOD stolen I am considering IPAD 2, am I able to use the "dock" external speakers $$ with it???

We'd need to know specifically what "dock speakers" you have before anyone could offer information or opinions. I'd suggest just contacting the maker of those dock speakers and asking them. They'll be in the best position to say whether or not their product is compatible with the iPad 2.
Regards.

IPod Classic video stops when plugged into external speakers

Whenever I'm playing video and plug my iPod Classic into external speakers (doesn't matter the speakers, it happens with all of them), the video stops playing and the screen behaves as if I'd pressed the "Menu" button. Extremely annoying when playing video playlists.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yep, it's through the dock. I don't get why Apple keeps "updating" and taking away features. It happened when at first you could shuffle "songs" and "videos", and the videos would play as such. Now they play as "songs", only audio without video.

Trying to listen to ipod w/external speakers, but says headphones in

trying to listen to the ipod through external speakers, but the device says headphones are plugged in. We have double checked bluetooth application and it is off.

For the future, it saves time if you list the things you've already done to resolve the problem.
If you have done everything in the troubleshooting steps, including restoring your iPod and it still hasn't fixed the issue, it may well be a hardware problem. I'm guessing your Touch is out of warranty so you may want to investigate one of the third party repair outfits as they are much less expensive than Apple. I have never had reason to use one so I have no recommendations. An internet search for "ipod repair" should turn up some options.
Best of luck.

Grandson's ipod touch plays the music if the earphones are plugged in but not if it is unplugged and on the ipod docking station nor do the external speakers work. What is wrong?

I won an ipod touch and gave it to my grandson for Xmas but sometimes the external speakers do not emit music but the music can be heard with the earplugs in. It also will not play on the docking station speakers. What is wrong. Of course Apple is sayin there is no warranty.

Try to reset the iPod by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again and let it start up. You will not lose any data doing a reset.
If this does not help, set it up as new device again, explained in this article: How to back up your data and set up as a new device

Can't get external speakers to work using headphone jack on MacBook Pro

I have a male-male connector that I use for my iPod to radio or multimedia player to play on external speakers. When I plug it into my MacBook Pro, sound goes dead on the MacBook Pro, no sound comes out of the external speakers, and the preferences on the MacBok Pro say "Headphone : Headphone port" and volume is at full, and mute is off. Am I doing something wrong, or do I need a repair? I unplug the cable and sound comes back.

No such problem, eww. The speakers were plugged in and working. I shut off the speakers, but did not unplug them, and when I turned them back on, there was no sound. I tried my headphones, and there was no sound from them, either. The headphone port was dead. I restarted, with no change.
I was getting ready to do an SMC reset and read the preliminary steps. The last one before resetting the SMC was to shut down the MacBook Pro. That brought the port back to life. When I restarted, I had my external speakers back.
Go figure.
I have not upgraded to Lion because I have PowerPC apps that I want and/or need, so this was not a Lion-related bug. I am certainly glad the port isn't dead. I was not looking forward to having to send in my MacBook Pro for repair.

External speakers not working with iMac and Lion

I have a dual core imac with Lion and external speakers I just bought from Apple. I cannot get them to work with itunes or anything else on the imac. Can anyone tell me what to do? They work well with an ipod touch, but not the iMac.

Hmmm. I plugged the speakers into the headphone jack. they are the Audyssey Lower East Side Media Speakers. When I hoty option on the menu bar, headphones are checked as output. When I go to system preferences and check output, all it says is "headphone port." Still no change.

6th Generation Classic - External Speakers

Previously, I had a 5th Generation Classic iPod (60GB) that when connected to external speakers, had an option (within the Speakers menu) to show large album cover artwork during song play. And when a song was playing, the album cover, on a black background, filled the display.
I'm now using a 6th Generation Classic (120GB) and the Speakers menu does not offer the "large album cover while playing" option. I've search throughout the various menus, and so far, have not found such a setting.
Can this be done on a 6th Generation? (Is so, where's it selected?)

This is the ipod touch forum.
Maybe you should post i the ipod classic forum.
