Ipod Nano 8gb 3rd gen

ok, so i got the new ipod nano 3rd gen tonight and i plug it in but it wont come up on my itunes, i plug in my second gen nano and it comes up on itunes with its sync buttons and all that stuff, but thats the only nanp,my second gen, itunes or my computer recognizes,
i dont know how to maybe delete the old nanos info and set up my new nano and hook it up to itunes
but i wont work, ive tried EVERYTHING. no one else seems to have this problem

I too am having the same probelm, i jsut bought my new ipod Nano 8gig yesterday and when i plug it in the ipod lights up saying its connected but then im told by Vista that i need to have a driver for it.
Considering everything then says that itunes should do it all i run into trouble as my computer is completely up to date and itunes flat out refuses to find the new ipod.
Yet when i connect my old 1st gen nano it picks it up no probs.
Help PLEASE!

My iPod Touch 8GB 3rd Gen is acting slow.

I just got my iPod Touch 8gb 3rd gen and it acts slow whenever I try to use youtube, mail, safari and whatever else that needs wi-if. I restored it twice, but no luck. What should I do?

Humor me: define slow. Slow as in a few seconds, or slow as in 30 seconds, or slow as in a minute or longer?

Laggy IPod touch 8gb 3rd gen?

Why is my itouch so laggy with iOs 4? Is apple going to fix this problem?

Hello MrWuggles,
I would first like to address that there is no true 8gb 3rd gen. Your ipod has the same hardware as the ipod touch 2nd gens but was preloaded with updated software when sold. Therefore it does not have multitasking like the other person said was your problem. Your ipod might be laggy with iOS 4 because the hardware is not as fast as the ipod touch 3rd gens(32gb/64gb) and 4th gens.
I have a 2nd gen and experienced lag using iOS 4.0 but it was definitely improved with iOS 4.1. Make sure your ipod is updated to 4.1. Then your problem should be solved. If it isn't you could always try a full restore to refresh your ipod, but this probably won't do much for you and should be used as a last effort.

IPod touch 8GB 3rd Gen?

Is there such thing as a 3rd gen 8gb iPod touch? Or is the 8gig only 2nd gen. I'm asking this question because I bought a brand new itouch as a warranty replacement of my broken nano. It's only 2 weeks old and I have noticed that it's the 2nd gen model. Has the shop sold me this mistakenly as they still had a few remaining in their stock? Or is the 8gb only manufacturered as 2nd gens?
Thanks,
Madusha

Hi Madusha: You are correct, the 8Gb is only available in the 2nd Generation. Only the 32 and 64gB are the new and improved 3rd Gen.
Hope this helps

Ipod Nano 8GB (2nd Gen.) problem

My Ipod freezes the second i disconnect it from the computer (I mean the cable) and the only way for me to turn it back on is to reconnect it to the computer.
I have tried "The 5 R's" and they didn't work either. Any one have some ideas about it?

Hello Tine Rico,
And Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Definitely sounds like your iPod's battery is dead especially if you have left it to charge for such a long period of time. You may want to double check this article first through to make sure you have tried everything.
[iPod's battery doesn't charge|http://support.apple.com/kb/TA44551?viewlocale=en_US]
You can have Apple replace it for you for a very hefty price, a third party repair company for much less such as [iresq|http://www.iresq.com>, or you can even do it yourself if you wish.
Or simply look into getting a new iPod if you wish.

Ipod Nano 8GB 4th Gen stuck in a restore loop

Screen is black - reset sequence has no effect. Itunes initiates a restore sequence, The nano Beeps 4 time , and loops in restore sequence.
No network drives on the PC ( windows vista 64Bits). Itunes got updated 2 days before this happened.
I have A Shuffle that work fine using same computer and usb ports.
Daugther says nano it was dropped on the floor. Worked a month.... I`m out of ideas- anyone has a suggestion ? Thanks

Brought the brick to the Genius bar to be told I had 2 options:
1) - Get it evaluated by one of the tech. They will tell me how much it will cost to get it 'fixed' I.E. the will replace it by a factory refurbished one.
2) by a new one with a 10% discount if I bring back the broken one.
Will get it evaluated and will post the cost estimate...

WRT54GS to ipod touch 8GB 3rd gen

Hello all.
Right im a bit baffled and wondered if anyone could help with this.
I am running windows xp, virgin media 20mb broadband and a Linksys wrt54gs wireless router.
After fluffing about, i restored the router to factory settings. I then re-enabled security on the router. Now the problem is the following. The ipod touch appears connected due to the tick by the wifi's name and the signal appears to be good BUT i cannot view anything ont the ipod touch. I wondered if anyone would be able to help me with this as it is for a birthday present and i want to make sure that this is all working.
Many thanks.
P.s please be as simple as possible - im a noob!

Thanks for the help.
I do not have anything else that is wireless in the house so i cannot try and use any other pieces of equipment.
When i put the password in, then the connection appears on the ipod touch and displays a tick next to it. I have tried to insert different passwords as well. When i do this, the ipod will say connection failed. So i know that the 1st option that im doing is good (i think).
After the ipod establishes a connection, i then try and usethe safari browser on the ipod. It looks like it will connect then says something about an invalid argument.
Will i have to change the ip of the ipod touch?
Do you know what else i can try?
If so all help would be gladly appreiciated, many thanks.

Well its another 3rd gen. 8gb ipod touch problem. Apparently they don't exist and that really ticks me off because the apple packaging clearly stated it was an 8gb 3rd gen. and now i can't update it. Apple lied and now im paying for it.I better get a new1

A year or two back i dad just used up all of my money to buy a brand new ipod touch 3rd gen. 8gb. I bought it at a local sams club and i even still have the packaging that says it was an 8gb 3rd gen. But Apple lied to me because it is only an 2nd gen. I looked it up and they don't exist. Now i can't get any games or anything because of thier false advertisement and ripping us off (as you can't update from iOS 4.2.1). This also happened to many of my friends and other Apple customers throughout the U.S. It was an unopened product from Apple. Since they tricked us i hold Apple accountable. I demand a refund and anyone else in this delemma please share your story. APPLE OWES ME A REFUND.

I see that you have the same problem as guys in the sites I found.
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/54866
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/55334
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/55180
I think most of them manage to came out either with FULL REFUND, with 75-90% DISCOUNT for iPod 4G purchase, or FREE iPod touch 4G 8GB.
I'll tell you this, it's not Apple who lied to you, it's the misled DEALERS. I've been collecting evidences and it seems from the beginning (the time of press release) until the release of iPod 4G, Apple never stated that they intended to release iPod touch 3G in 8GB.
See this image of Apple online store back in early 2010 :
The 8GB model were only UPDATED with iOS 3 however the true NEW iPod touch at that time (Apple hadn't used the terms Generation yet) was available in larger capacity. The iPod touch 8GB wasn't RENEWED but rather RE-RELEASED with lower price as previous 8GB iPod touch were more expensive. If you still not convinced enough to believe it, well search the youtube and watch Phil Schiller's presentation in 09/2009. He shown 8GB model (he didn't say new) would only experience updated price of $199 but later on, he pushed the 8GB aside and explained the NEW larger capacity models would be granted double capacity and improved performance
Hence, I'm truthfully sorry to say that the one whom to be wronged isn't Apple but dealers themselves for false advertising. I suggest you to bring up your complain to the dealer with valid evidences because if you don't, I'm afradi you might lose your chance due to the time being.

Problems With My New Ipod Nano 8Gb

Like most got a new ipod Nano 8Gb for Christmas and I had previously installed Itunes and Quicktime to the latest versions. I hooked up the ipod and it was recognized and it said it wanted to update to version 103 which i allowed it to do.
A bar came up and started going across and I let it go and after 5 minutes it was still going and then after 15 minutes it was still going but I could tell that nothing was happening. (apple if you read these forums how about changing your updates so a percentage is given). I disconnected the player and had to end the task on Itunes to get it to close and then I hooked up the ipod and this time it went into itunes and synced and seemed to copy the 6 albums I had in there.
I then decided to put a couple more albums on, but when I told it to sync this time the software couldn't find the device and I was given an error. The long and short of this is the device will sync initially and download *Music only* as any of the other checkmarked items will not download, but after the initial syncing anything else added to itunes will not sync or update again.
I've also noted that anytime you change a setting in the itunes by putting a check mark in the box eg. such as podcasts, movies, outlook and so on the next time the ipod is plugged in none of these items are checked.
I've come to the conclusion that Apple didn't do much testing on this device and so far i'm not very impressed and will most likely take the product back for a refund. How can Apple expect people to do all these things I've been reading about to try and fix the many problems that seem to plague this new Nano 3rd Gen unit?
Does anyone from apple read these forums and know what's going on?

Well i've tried a few things that haven't done anything.
- 1 reinstalled Itunes but this did nothing to help
- I tried to restore the unit but got the dreaded 1418 error
I do have a question though when I plug my ipod in i hear it connect and it shows a USB mass storage device down in the taskbar which i can click on and see that it is the ipod usb device but if I look under My Computer there is nothing in there. So my question is should there be a device in my computer and should I see the device down in the taskbar?

5g ipod nano 8GB no sound through ear buds or headphone jack only when docked.

5g ipod nano 8GB no sound through ear buds or headphone jack only when docked. any suggestions? i don't want to replace any of the parts inside if at all possible.
I have a 5th generation 8GB iPod nano. I bout it off of eBay in May of 2010 and it has worked great until now (Apr 2011). The 5th gen plays music through the headphone jack even when no ear buds are plugged in. I was using it one day and it just stopped. I tried resetting it manually and automatically and I tried reinstalling iTunes. Nothing has worked. Now it won't even play sound though the ear buds (or the aux hook up in my car), only when it is docked to my iHome. Does anyone have any suggestions? I dont want to replace the iPod or any parts inside if at all possible. ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOMED! THANKS!

Headphone jacks are only good for so many in and out usages. Usually its the headphone jack itsefl that goes bad first but sometimes it is the internal part. If you are lucky you can clean out the inside and get it to work.
These devices are not made to last for someone who actually has those headphones around there neck and acually uses there listening devices through out the day plugging it in and out. This is not in any way an Apple thing, it is a problem with many devices. The male ends tend to get dirty hanging around then scratch the female end when used. In fact, using higher end headphones you can really notice even the smallest particles of dust on the male end of plug when used, that is the small popping you might notice when the cord moves.
Hopefully its a problem on the male side of things.
I would recommend a person that wants to use headphones alot to keep a small 2 inch extension plugged into there device that can be replaced when it goes bad inplace of wearing out the original plug.
Again, this is not an Apple problem alone.

Can't find drivers for ipod nano 8GB for windows vista HELP

I am trying to find the drivers for my ipod nano 8GB. I am running Windows Vista on my laptop. I have tried absolutely everything listed on this webpage and others. I have removed itunes and reinstalled it and still nothing. I downloaded usbstor.sys and usbstor.inf. I have gone into my computer and clicked on the ! next to my ipod in file manager and have gotten nowhere! This has been 5 days of frustration. I don't understand why apple would not just SUPPLY the software for the nano. I am beyond frustrated now. Can someone please help...

Something is going on with your Nano if Vista doesn't see it anymore. Did you use device manager and try to uninstall your Nano? Perhaps this will work. Once uninstalled, the next time you plug it in, Vista will see the Nano as a new device and install the proper USB drivers.
I'm not on my Vista computer right now...but here's an article to help you find device manager in Vista: http://kb.wisc.edu/page.php?id=5183
Good luck!

Hello Lisa,
Double check your iPod's sync settings from under it's TV Shows tab in iTunes. Make sure it is not set up to sync only unwatched episodes.
