ITouch 3rd gen. won't hold songs or vid.

I upgraded to the new osi-whatever on my iPod Touch, but after I did that, I lost all my songs and videos! I can't find them, but my iPod search says that I still have them installed. I even tried re-buying them. I have now spent almost $35 in songs, and still nothing! Any ideas?? I don't care if I have to re-re-buy all my songs, I just want the ability to HOLD songs again! (I'm assuming that it's the same for video, because those disappeared, too.)

If you are saying that your iPod had no content after upgrading this may help:

Did you do the update on the same computer you always use for syncing?

  • Ipod 3rd Gen won't hold charge

    I got a 3rd generation Ipod used for my sister for christmas, but it is having problems that I'm worried about.
    First of all, it won't charge through the usb cord hooked up to the computer. It does recognize it in ITUNES but it won't charge. I hooked it up to a wall charger, and it charges fine but it won't hold a charge for more than 10 minutes!!! Any help?

    3rd generation iPods don't charge over USB.
    If the wall charger is USB, it won't charge the iPod either.
    You will need to purchase a Firewire wall charger.

  • My iTouch 3rd Gen won't connect to my iHome iH15

    I've also tried updating it, but all I get is an error message. I have the 32 GB so I've seen some replies on here that it is possible to update past 4.2.1. It's frustrating that I cannot find a solution to this problem. HELP PLEASE!!

    What error message are you getting?
    Apple made both 2G and 3G iPods with 32 B capacity.  So yours could be either.  What model number is engraved on the back?
    iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318. SOme non-North American iPod have different model numbers.
    If your iPod has neither number, enter the SN here:
    Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage
    Did you iPod ever cnnect to the iHome?
    Does the iPod work OK otherwise?
    Does it charge when connected to the iHome
    Do the specs for the iHome say it is compatible?
    DOes it look/feel like the iPid seats fully in the iHome?

    Does it charge?
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Apple TV (3rd gen) won't turn on...please help

    My Apple TV (3rd gen) won't connect to my TV. It blinks 3 times, so i tried to reset it, but nothing happened. Any suggestions on how to fix the problem. Thanks.

    Can someone please help me? My apple tv (3rd gen) continues to blink 3 times and won't respond. I've tried doing different things that I've read through the manuel & forms: (1) holding down menu and FF for 6 seconds to pair the remote (2) unplugging the apple tv and waiting 30 seconds
    After apple tv was unplugged, it looked fine when it turned back on...but, once again the same problem remains and my apple tv remote will not work.
    Hopefully, someone can help me solve this problem.
    Thanks.

  • Unexpected on and off (itouch 3rd gen ISO 5.0.1)

    unexpected on and off (itouch 3rd gen ISO 5.0.1)

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

    Refurbished iPod touch 3rd gen won't start.  Just got it today to replace my broken one. It freezes at the screen with the apple logo, then flashes off and tries to restart again. Help!

    I have tried holding the power home button but all that does is turn it off. When I try to start it again it goes into the same loop.

  • My 3rd Gen won't boot up and gets hot when I plug in the charger.

    The subject line pretty much describes my dilemma. My 3rd Gen won't boot up and gets hot when I plug in the charger. Any suggestions?

    It is normal for an iPod to become warn when charging. Have you tried the troubleshooting here:

  • Facetime on itouch 3rd gen

    Hi im wondering if there is going to be a facetime app for the itouch 3rd gen? that will be able to connect to a computer with a webcam!! something like the icam app. Do you think this will ever happen??

    I doubt it since the earlier iPod do not have a camera. The FaceTime Beta app for Intel Mac computers will not install if the computer does not have a camera.

  • Itouch 3rd Gen to Itouch 4th Gen???

    I have an Itouch 3rd gen, If I buy an Itouch 4th gen, can I backup my 3rd gen and restore it to the new 4th Gen. (migrate) Thanks in advance.

    Most everything gets transferred.
    I did have to setup my lock code again, but that was about it.
    And of course there are a few new features to configure that were not on your 3rd gen

    Just get into "General" -> last option is "RESET" -> Opt for "RESET NETWORK SETTINGS"
    Your phone will reeboot in a couple of minutes n then get fine on with full signal on the wifi scale.
    Worked perfect for me. Do try n let me know.

  • How many apps on an itouch 3rd gen 32Go

    Hi ! any idea of the amount of apps which can be supported by an Itouch 3rd gen, 32 Go ? Thanks

    How many do you have now? There is a limit to the number of home pages you can have that will limit how many apps will be displayed, but that does not limit the ability to add more. It just means they will not be displayed. You can use the search function to locate them, however.
    I believe this is covered in the manual. IPod Touch user guide
