what's the problem?? waht can i do??
Sorry for my English but in true I speak french.

As the iPod is brand new you should return the iPod to the place of purchase and get it exchanged.

  • Major problem with Syncing my ipod nano 3rd generation! HELP PLZ!!!!!!

    My computer had a virus and i had to reset windows, so all my music got wiped off the system.
    i then reinstalled windows and itunes. the itunes library didn't import any music because there wasn't any music on my computer.
    a few days ago, My ipod nano 3rd generation froze and i had to reset it, all my old music is on my ipod.
    but when i try to sync new music from my library to my ipod - it doesn't work!!!!! It just keeps on saying that my ipod is synced with another library (not true) and that i can't sync it unless i wipe off all the music on my ipod.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Did everyone try the basic "5Rs" first? Mainly did you first try to reset the iPod and then if that didn't work, did you try to restore it?

  • 1 iPod Nano 3rd generation and 2 user accounts on Mac Mini

    My husband and I share our Mac Mini and we log in under separate user
    names. He is the administrator for the computer. My problem started
    when I initially purchased Phase and I could not upload it to my
    iPod Nano 3rd generation. So in an effort to demonstrate the problem I had my husband log
    in to the Mac Mini under his user name and then logged into the
    iTunes store using my account information and bought Scrabble. He was
    able to upload Phase to the iPod but then when I logged into my user
    name on the Mac Mini and went to the iTunes store I could only see
    Scrabble (not Phase) and in order to download it I was forced to sync
    my Games on the iPod which overwrote the Phase game. So now I only
    have Scrabble on my iPod and I can't see Phase in my iTunes account.
    How do I remedy this?

    Hello HernanOtt,
    Depends on where you have it serviced.  Here are Apple's repair quotes.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    You would probably save a lot of money by having a 3rd party repair company do the job for you instead.  Just do a simple Google search for iPod repair and you'll get a plethora of results.

    Hi Matt00,
    thank you for your response. I followed the steps you suggested, but still no luck.   Is a the fact that I am using a notebook a problem? I have been doing more searching and it seems my HP Pavilion Notebook does not have a firewire port?

  • I am getting rid of my Ipod Nano 3rd Generation.  How do I delete my name and make sure all personal info is gone?

    I was able to restore my Ipod Nano 3rd Generation back to factory settings, but the ipod is still personalized with my name.  How do I remove or change that?  And, how can I be sure all music, personal info is completely gone because I am giving it to someone?

    There is a rather large database in Apple Support for all iPod Nano models, though
    a quick look through did not provide a simple direct answer to the question of how
    to prepare an iPod Nano for a new owner, or for a new user; also to de-personalize
    the product so it would not be locked or broken.
    •iPod Nano - How To - Apple Support: (main)
    https://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/how-to/
    This kind of question comes up in similar form across most iDevice sections; usually
    after someone has bought or was given one, and it won't work. At least you are in
    the right track, to try & clear it ahead of a problem, so a new owner can use it.
    Be sure to deauthorize the unit in the process of removing your identification from it;
    and also check to see how the AppleID affects the next owner experience. It will.
    There should be a way to accomplish most of this within iTunes from a Mac.
    Rather again, too general:

  • IPod Nano 3rd Generation Battery

    I recently won a sweepstakes that included a iPod Nano 3rd Generation.  The iPod was brand new in the box.  The problem is the battery does not hold a charge.  I have left the iPod connected to my MacBook Pro overnight to charge.  When I disconnect the iPod, it instantly turns off.  I know these iPods were produced several years ago.  Am I missing something obvious here or is it just not working because the battery has set idle for 2+ years?

  • HT1384 My ipod nano 3rd generation, when connected by usb, does not show up in itunes, does not show up on my computer, does not seem to charge by the wall charger. It just has a black screen. Any ideas for me?

    My ipod nano 3rd generation, when connected by usb, does not show up in itunes, does not show up on my computer, does not seem to charge by the wall charger. It just has a black screen. Any ideas for me?
    I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.

    Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
    Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(

  • I still have my iPod Nano 3rd generation, but my old computer crashed and I did not have itunes backed up, so I lost my library. Is there a way to get the songs from my old ipod to new computer library and then on to the new ipod?

    Save all the photos from your Droid into a folder on your computer.
    Connect your device to your computer. On iTunes left Pane, select iPhone under 'Devices'; then on the right Pane, select PHOTO tab.  Make sure Sync Photo box is checked, and "from" box selected the folder that has Droid's photos.  Then click the SYNC or APPLY button on the lower right window.

  • Connecting an iPod nano (3rd generation) to Windows Vista

    I have purchased an iPod nano (3rd generation) and I tried to connect it via USB to a Windows Vista Enterprise Laptop. Even though the iPod is connected (as it appears on the iPod screen), Windows fails to locate the driver to install it. I have tried several articles found in the discussions forum, reseting the iPod nano, re-installing iTunes, and rebooting Vista, but no solution given.
    Please advise.
    Thanks

    Have not been able to connect to iTunes for months, right about the time Microsoft put out the Zune! Would love to hear from a lawyer about a class action lawsuit againat Apple since this issue has not been resolved and we are required to use iTunes. In the meantime, filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission!

  • TS3716 I have an iPod nano (3rd generation). I've recently dowloaded iCloud. So now when I open iTunes the window is entirely different. And I don't have the previous menu options. I have downloaded audiobooks for years. Is it not supported by iOS5?

    Can I revert back to a previous version? Or must I upgrade to a newer device? Thank you for you expertise!!

  • Does the iPod nano 3rd Generation charge and sync in an iPhone 3G Dock?

    I wanna bye an iPhone 3G Dock. Now I have the question if I can connect my iPod nano 3rd Generation to the new dock for syncing and charging. On Apples homepage is the campatibility status set to only iPhone 3G, but I question this because older docks, like the one for the old iPod Photo works with other iPods as well.
    The dock connector on the iPhone 3G dock seems to be the same as the one on the charging cable and that cable has to be inserted in the dock. So why should it not work?
    I know I could bye the iPhone 3G cradle for the universal dock I already have, but I want to have the ability to make speakerphone conversations with the iPhone in the dock. That only works well with the original iPhone 3G dock.
    Can someone help me?

    Bit late on the old reply, but i'm using a different Apple Dock for my Nano. I have the Universal one,but it looked so big for the little Nano. I stumbled across an iPhone one by mistake, but only cost me £7 delivered, brand new.
    So in answer to your question, yes. And it enables me to get a skin on the iPod and still use the dock...

  • IPod Nano 3rd generation: Only plays songs recently downloaded to my iTunes Library

    iPod Nano 3rd generation (Version 1.1.3) for Windows
    Any song that I download onto the iPod shows up in its library, but when I try to listen to the songs, they won't play.
    The only songs the iPod will play are those that have just recently downloaded onto my iTunes library.
    If the new songs aren't on the iPod, then when I try to play a song, the "now playing" screen shows up, not showing any songs, and the playlist says "playing 1 of 0"

    Hi LeviBC,
    It sounds quite frustrating having your iPod only play certain songs, I am quite sure I would be unhappy in similar circumstances. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
    If you are having issues with your iPod nano (3rd generation) not playing some of your music, I would suggest troubleshooting using the steps found on this page -

  • Can I replace my ipod nano 2nd generation with ipod nano 3rd generation.?

    I bought an iPod Nano 2nd generation last year in June and the warranty lasts until June of this year 2008. I want to know if there is any way to upgrade to an iPod Nano 3rd Generation without paying for a whole new iPod. If my iPod is messed up or something, will they replace it with a 3rd generation iPod Nano, or another 2nd generation iPod Nano. Is there any way to get the 3rd Generation iPod Nano?
    [x|http://www.parikesit.com]

    If my iPod is messed up or something, will they replace it with a 3rd generation iPod Nano, or another 2nd generation iPod Nano.
    If they still have iPods in stock of the older generation, you will get one of these; the color may vary, but other specifications should be the same. If not, you will most likely get a current model.
    You may want to find someone willing to purchase that iPod, and then put the money toward a current one.

  • Using Apple Earphones with Mic and Remote with Ipod Nano (3rd generation)

    Hi, I'm just wondering if there is any way i can make the Ipod Nano(3rd generation) compatible with the Apple Earphones with Mic and Remote. I know on the box it says the earphones are only compatible with a few ipods, like the 4th generation ipod nano. But Is there any program i can download or use to allow the ipod to recognize the earphone remote and mic?
    Thanks a lot.

    I'm quite convinced the answer is no for that Apple mic.
    I do believe recording is possible on the Nano 3G with the right attachment. But I don't think the sound comes through the headphone jack the way they do on the nano 4G and iPhone 3G/touch.
    This review http://www.macworld.com/article/60004/2007/09/3gipodnano.html says it's possible, but when I look at "Belkin, Griffin Technology, and XtremeMac" I don't find much... doesn't sound like they worked very well ... the iKaraoke is compatible
