Ipod videos with 3rd generation.

every time i go to use itunes with my ipod nano 3rd generation, i go to movies or TV shows and "add folder" and "add file", & every time i add a file with videos in it itunes dosnt bring them up, and the ones that do come up on itunes like refuse to go onto my ipod. i press "sync" and it says that it syncs, but when it syncs too quickly. so i find out that it actually hasnt synced onto my ipod. itunes wont convert them either, it just like ignores the fact that i have videos there. its fustrating me. i just downloaded quicktime but just realised i alredy had the needed version of it. i have the newest itunes aswell, since i just got my ipod at christmas. someone help. im in a bit of a pickle.
thanks. koz.

HT4972 Is the update compatible with 3rd Generation Ipod Touch

Hello Im JS.Is the update compatible with 3rd Generation Ipod Touch. Thank You have a nice day.

What update?
iOS 5 is compatible with a 3G (as well as 4G) iPod. However, if you are stuck with 4.2.1 that indicates that you really have a 2G iPod. those can only go to 4.1.2. See:
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.

Are QR Code Reader Apps compatible with 3rd Generation IPod Touch?, Are QR Code Reader Apps compatible with 3rd Generation IPod Touch?

Looking to use in my classroom purely for QR Code Readers. Hoping 3rd Generation are compatible for expense reasons, thank you!

Thank you. I am looking at the apps I want to use... some say only gen 4 and 5, some just say IPod Touch with no generation listed. A better question might be, is there a QR Code Reader app available that is compatible with 3rd Gen. IPod Touch?

My ipod nano of 3rd generation is not recognized for windows or itunes.

Hello,
One week ago, i bougth an Ipod Nano of 3rd Generation.
And still cant get it work.I already installed the LAST version of Itunes. And when i connect my ipod, itunes doesnt recognize it, and in the taskbar in windows, it says, new usb mass storage, then i click, and start searching something, then it says that it havent been found, that i insert a disk with xp label.
I had tried resetting and nothing.im using Windows XP Pro 2002, with SP2.
What would be the problem please help me!

I have the same problem except through Vista. If iTunes isn't on my computer everything is listed as fine in windows device manager but as soon as I install iTunes it installs a problem driver for the iPod and device manager lists it with a yellow icon with an exclamation mark. I have to do my syncing on my old XP machine

5th Generation with 3rd Generation Dock

Hi,
I tried to copy my music library onto my new video iPod using my 3rd generation dock. I get an error message stating that the iPod doesn't support Firewire. Is this true? Do I need to buy a new dock or will I have to continue using the 1.1 USB connection to transfer and update the iPod?
Thanks!
lsb

"I tried to copy my music library onto my new video iPod using my 3rd generation dock. I get an error message stating that the iPod doesn't support Firewire. Is this true?"
Yes it's true, the 5th gen iPod does not support data transfer via firewire, but it will charge the iPod.
Data transfer is now only via USB.
The dock shouldn't make any difference though. Aside from the fact that the 5th gen iPod does fit correctly, you should be able to use the dock.

My ipod touch 8gb 3rd generation keeps dropping wifi. I hate to reset since i've downloaded all of my itunes directly to my ipod. Help!

My ipod touch 8gb 3rd generation keeps dropping wifi. Doesn't matter where I am - happend ALL the time. Almost useless now except for all of my songs! We don't have any other problems with other computers in our house. I have downloaded all of my songs from itunes directly to my ipod (I know, I wish I hadn't) so I hate to reset or I will lose them all. I have never downloaded any updates (I know, I know!) so could this be my problem? How do I find downloads and what do I need? Please help if you can!

If I reset my ipod will the wifi dropping stop? I don't usually connect the ipod to my computer. I charge it from the wall. Should I be connecting to the computer instead? Takes so much longer. thanks for your help!
The reset may help with the WiFi issue, but you'll have to do the reset to be sure. It does seem to cure a wide variety of issues. At some point you should be connecting the iPod to your computer/iTunes account, otherwise you risk losing all of your music and other content if you have a problem with your iPod.

When i plug in my ipod touch (8gb, 3rd generation) it doesn't turn on and the apple logo flashes on and off. how can i stop it and turn on my ipod??????

when i plug in my ipod touch (8gb, 3rd generation) it doesn't turn on and the apple logo flashes on and off. before this it wouldn't turn on unless it was plugged in.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I'm trying to restore my iPod and the update says it's going to take 9 hours and then after 2 hours or less it will say something about "unable to finish update." Why is this?? My iPod is a 3rd generation that I got from my brother.

My iPod is a 3rd generation that I got from my brother and even when I download an app that doesn't require my iPod to be an iOs 4.3, it will download, but it won't open.

Convert DV File to iPod Video with Chapters

Hi All,
My question is simple. I have a project in FCP Suite that I want to export to an iPod with chapters. I subscribe to Podcasts that have chapters in them such as Photoshop TV.
I have exported to a DV stream from the timeline, and viewed the DV file in QuickTime player to verify that the chapters are in fact still there which they are. When converting from DV, what do I need to do to convert to a format suitable for an iPod Video with the chapters still intact so I can easily skip around on my iPod like a DVD player can. Nothing I do seems to carry the chapter markers over in the conversion process.

Michael (and George)-
We've been creating the same m4v files with similar software to George's (FC5 and Compressor2) and while we can place chapter markers in the m4v file, and that file will acurately use the markers when played in QuickTime on the computer, once the file is sent to Video iPod, the markers are not very accurate, missing the marked frame by up to 2 sec. Has it been your experience when using this feature in Compressor 3 that these markers are spot on? Would certainly appreciate your input on this,

hi i just got a 6th generation nano and im trying to transfer music from my old ipod which a 3rd generation ipod can someone help?plz thankz

There is no way to transfer ipod-to-ipod. Look for a 3rd party program, such as Yamipod, that will let you pull the music from your old iPod to your computer.
You really should be backing up your data on your computer.

I have ipod nano with 7 generation and I would buy a Polar Wearlink Transmitter Nike Plus to view heart beats . Is this product compatible with nano?

I have ipod nano with 7 generation and I would buy a Polar Wearlink + Transmitter Nike+ Plus to view heart beats . Is this product compatible with nano?

I have the same issue! I purchased a nano 6th, polar hrm so I could run and receive spoken feedback when my heart rate was outside my preset zone. My suunto t3 used to beep when outside the preset zones. Automatic, periodic beeps or spoken feedback is the most important information to receive during exercise. I hope apple can update the software to add this simple yet critical feature.

HT4623 my ipod touch is 3rd generation.

My ipod touch is 3rd generation. I have done all the erase and restore things in the article and it still is using ios 4.2.1. It does not have a button that says software update that i can find and the computer did not update it. What can i do?

This may indicate you have a 2nd generation. Please check the model number on the back and post back. If it is A1288, it is a 2nd gen.

5th generation iPod with 3rd generation dock connector?

hello,
I have a 30GB 3rd generation iPod, which is now a totally crammed... so I am planning on buying a new iPod Photo. With my 3rd generation iPod, a dock connector was included in the package. Will this dock connector work with the new iPod Photo, or do I need to buy one of those "Universal Docks"?
I was looking in Apple Store, but couldn't find an answer there. Does anybody know?
cheers,
pj

Hey,
I just picked up my new 5g iPod and I am using it with the dock connector from my 4g with now problems. It sets the ipod at just the right angle to watch movies as well as charging, sync, etc.

Ipod Not recognized 3rd generation

Ok so yesterday i had an ipod nano that wa snew and i had already had itunes downloaded on the computer. I found out that itunes could not recognize the drive and i had to reformat and update my ipod to get it to recognize. Well it worked. The problem i have is i just got another ipod (a 3rd generation) and when i plug it into the computer my computer recognizes it but itunes wont. I dont remember everything i did to the nano to reformat and update but i am wondering if i run the updater i installed yesterday, would that help? WOuld itunes recognize it? Also can i use the updater i downloaded yesterday for the nano and update the 3rd generation one?

Hello Vickileve, Mikey!
Ask around about fanatical 3G iPod owners, and my name is at the top of the list. I love it. I think the newer models are all serious downgrades over the 3G. I bought an iPod to carry my music, so it doesn't need color screens, or the ability to display photos or movies. What it does need to be is solid, and mine is. Dispite the whole battery flap, I still regularly get over 4 hours of continuous play. It has never once frozen or given me any evil startup icons. And those glowing buttons always get a second look from iPod "newbies" with their 4G, photo, mini, nano, with Video models.
"Back in the day", there were tons of issues with folks connecting the 3G to USB. As you seem to have found a few of them, I'm going to share some info to make your lives easier. The 3G was the first iPod that (nominally) supported USB. It was really an afterthought tacked on to a firewire device to help market it to the Aindows community (me at the time). It never seemed to work that well on Windows computers. iPods would get lost because XP recycled USB resources, and iTunes became confused. They would only load a small number of songs at a time. Then there's the whole USB 1.1 vs. USB 2 thing...
Almost without fail, the solution to a USB related issue was "use firewire". It really did clear up most of teh problems. And for those that would like to be part of the best group of iPod companions, the advice is still sound. Your 3G iPod will be much better behaved if you get an inexpensive Adaptec firewire card.

Ipod classic in 3rd generation ihome

will my ipod classic work in my 3rd generation ihome? i got the ihome last year and i have the ipod mini insert in it right now. Should i get the ipod classic insert? will that make it work? because right now the ipod plays but no sound comes out, but my mini works in it.
HELP PLEASE!!

Not to be rude, but how many times are you going to post this? As has been pointed out at least twice, there have been lotos of reports that third party accessories, including those made by iHome, don't work properly with the newer iPods. You should check the iHome website for compatability with your particular iHome device (they make a bunch of them, so without a model number, it's kind of hard to give you any better info). If the website says that the model iHome device you have is compatible with your iPod, then yes, you should get the correct insert to avoid damage to your iPod.
