when will there be a software update for the ipod 3rd gen?

I believe the most recent forcast was, "When pigs fly."

I have been having a lot of trouble with the latest itunes update and my ipod classic 80Gb i.e. being unable to sync songs, but now i have no files at all on my ipod, it is completely blank when i view it from my computer. I need help, please, anybody.

As it says above, i have been having a lot f trouble with my ipod classic and the latest itunes update, i was unable to sync songs or anything to it and have tried every conceivable 'fix' i could find. i have run an itunes diagnostic and the results are posted below. a major problem is that when i try and view my ipod through my computer it displays nothing at all on the ipod, no files or anything, this may be the problem but i have no idea how it has happened or how i could resolve it.
This ipod holds huge sentimental value and i am loathe to buy a new one! If anybody can help it is greatly appreciated, than kyou in advanced.

Latest iTunes update broke Nano 7G detection/sync

The latest update to iTunes (v11.3.0.54) for PC has broken my ability to connect my Nano 7G and sync.
First let me give you the conditions.
I have 2 PCs. Both are running Windows 8.1 with all Windows updates installed. PC 1 is my main desktop and I recently updated iTunes to the latest version, 11.3.0.54. PC 2 is a laptop that is still running v.11.2.2.3. After the update I attempted to connect my Nano to PC 1 and was given this error message.
"An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again. If the problem persists, uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again"
After clicking OK, the iPod does not appear to be detected or connected to iTunes. It also does not show up in My Computer as an attached device, and does not show up in Device Manager as either a USB device or Portable device.
At first I thought I had just broken the Nano, but I attempted to connect it to PC 2 running the earlier version of iTunes and it works 100% perfectly. I have indeed tried uninstalling and re-installing iTunes multiple times, rolling back to an earlier version on PC 1 (which won't load due to the library file being modified by the later version) and then upgrading again. I have tried connecting on multiple USB ports and used 2 different USB/Lightning cables. All work fine with PC 2 running the older version, none work with PC 1 running the latest. I have tried doing a reset of the Nano while disconnected and connected. Both fail.
Again the iPod worked fine before the update and still works fine on a PC with an identical operating system/updates running an earlier version of iTunes. Is this something I can fix myself? How? Or is it something I will just have to wait for Apple to patch?

Hello joejoehoppy,
Look for it to pop up next to the iTunes Store icon. Also check out the article below to troubleshoot your iPod nano connecting to iTunes.

ITunes does not recognize iPod (3rd gen?) even after trying everything...

I have searched and not found this exact problem on any of the forum pages. My computer (PC) recognizes my iPod as an external USB drive. It is completely charged up (from the AC power). No error messages. Screen shows the "updating - do not disconnect symbol" constantly while docked but the pod does not show up in iTunes at all. I can get the main screen (menu) page by disconnecting the USB device through Windows, but when I try to select any of my data on the pod it shows nothing downloaded on the device. I've tried everything in the support section (most recent version of iTunes, checked that iPod service is running, reinstalled the COM interface for iPod service, deleted and reinstalled iTunes, etc. As a final resort, I "restored" the pod to factory settings using iPod Updater, but no joy...To say I'm unhappy is putting it mildly. Any suggestions before I jump out a window or something????

Sorry for the curt/short explanations, but I am very frustrated.
My computer recognizes my iPod. iTunes does not.
iTunes does not recognize my other nano (2gb) or my friends shuffle. However, when my friend's shuffle is plugged into the computer, the iTunes window will pop up though I still can't see the actual device. On my nano and video, iTunes does not pop up.
In response I have...

I have uninstalled an reinstalled the program 5-8x.

I have specified and changed the letter pathway of not only my iPod but my other usb peripherals.

I have "reinstalled" the COM Interface about 5x after various changes.

I have downloaded the recent iPod updater and that dealt with my iPod JUST FINE and then ran iTunes.

Can anyone help me here??

IPOD 3rd Gen not recognized by itunes on firewire but it does on USB

Hi,
I have a 3rd gen Ipod (the one with the buttons) since its release date.
It worked perfectly with FIREWIRE.
Months ago i restore it and now it's a mess.
I have to connect it via USB to sync it with my itunes library, to
delete music, to add new one, or use it as a hard disk. But,
the battery doesn't charge (actually the battery now only lasts for 1 hour)
If i want to charge the battery i have to connect the ipod to the computer
via FIREWIRE, but it doesn't get recognized by itunes, so i cant update
it.
I wanted to restore the ipod but if i connect it via USB, itunes send me a message
that i have to connect it via firewire in order to restore it. But if I connect it
via FIREWIRE i can't restore it because ITUNES doesn't recognize it.
I hope someone can help me.
thanks a lot

Old iPod 3rd gen not showing up in iTunes

Hi, I realize this may be a futile effort but I thought I would give it a try.
I have an old ipod, 3rd gen 15GB that still works fine, stores a lot of music and plays fine. I would like to update and restore it. I have the old computer I used it with, an iBook G4 OSX 10.4.11 running iTunes 8.2.1, the most updated it can get for this computer I think.
Im just wondering how I can restore the ipod and put mp3s on it. It doesnt show up in itunes but appears to be charging when I plug it in with the old firewire cable. its working ok to the best of my knowledge and I would like to do a hard reset or something but I cant figure out how. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey there Miles,
It sounds like your iPod isn't showing in iTunes when you connect it to your Mac. I would start with this bit from the following article:

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3716
First, try the steps in the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant which applies to your iPod.
If you still cannot get the device to appear in iTunes, use the following link to help troubleshoot it:

IPod 3rd Gen 32gb cannot update to 5.1.1

Greetings,
I have been trying to update my ipod 3rd gen to 5.1.1 and cannot seem to update it at all. Gives me device could not be found but it syncs absolutely fine. To confirm that it is a 3rd gen I do have safari as the web browser.
The computer I have is brand new and I copied all my music over from backup dvds that I had. I run Win 7 home premium 64 bit, itunes is in fact the 64 bit version. Nothing I have tried works whatsoever. Please help.

Try:
- Reboot the computer
- 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.
- Try a different cable
- Try a different USB port
- Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

TS1372 After the latest iTunes update iTunes no longer sees either of my ipods. Diagnostics says no ipod connected. However my laptop, which is running Window 8.1 does see the ipod.

After the latest iTunes update neither of my iPods are recognized by iTunes, so I am unable to sync. When I run diagnostics it says no device connected. My laptop sees my iPod so I know it is connected. I have tried all of the recommended iTunes fixes and none work. I tried deleting and reinstalling both an older version and the newest version. The older version would not reconize my music libray. Any thouhts?

I tried deleting and reinstalling both an older version and the newest version.
Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

Hi, i'm having trouble with syncing my iPod. (after the latest iTunes-update)

It's a classic, but I have no idea what generation... but it was bought in early 08, and have 80gb. Anyway, it has been working fine all the time, but by the latest iTunes-update, it has stopped working. (mac) Every time I try to connect it with my computer, iTunes says that "this iPod appears to be destroyed, try to restore" (I'm having iTunes in Norwegian, so not sure if this is the direct translation, but hopefully you'll get the picture) - and I try to do this, again and again, but nothing seems to work. I have tried to turn off the computer, put iPod in disc-mode, let the battery run out, give it a two-week break, and now I'm out of guesses on what to do. But no matter what I do it allways appear to have zero songs on it after I am done syncing, and I allways get the "try to restore"-message when i connect it again.
It's possible that it's just old age or something, but I really want to try everything first, as it seems to be all right otherways. It also works when I connect it with my friend's PC, but since she has ****** taste of music () it's not an option. I have a MacBook, also from 2008.
And just to clearify. I have an iPad2, and an old iPod nano (2006) and both works with my computer/iTunes.

See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

TS1368 I downloaded the latest ITunes update, 10.6 I think. I can still sync my Ipod, but I can no longer access the Itunes Store. No error message, it just keeps "accessing" but nothing shows up. I've restarted my computer twice.

I downloaded the latest Itunes update, 10.6 I think. I can still sync my Ipod, but now I can't access the Itunes Store. There's no error message, it just keeps "accessing" but never completes. How can I fix this?

Ok... I just tried connecting my iPod directly to a USB port on the computer rather than via the USB hub I was using and everything is fine. Odd, but I'm happy now.
Thanks,
Evan

Ipod (3rd gen.) does not mount to iTunes

My ipod (3rd gen.) does not mount on iTunes (using a Mac). When plugged in, it appears on my desktop as if it were a jump drive.
I was planning on re-formatting it with Disk Utility but I'm not sure if this is a good idea. I also realised that the Format is listed as Windows NT File System (NTFS) when I have the disk utility window open. If I need to format with Disk Utility, what format option should i choose? (i.e. Mac OS Exteneded (Journaled), Mac OS Extended etc.)
Thanks in advance!!!

Now when I connect the Ipod to my Mac, it mounts as a Device on iTunes. I want to sync only a few items from my library onto this iPod - when I attempt to do this (by either adding the specific music to the "music" section on the iPod or creating a playlist and using Autofill to fill the iPod), the iPod says that it has Synced but when I disconnect the iPod, there is no music on it. Why?

I recently purchased Windows 8 laptop and installed Office 2013. I then installed iTunes. After moving all my music to the new PC, I got iTunes to import it and sync it to my iPod (3rd gen). However, I cannot get iTunes to sync my Outlook Contacts

I recently purchased a Windows 8 laptop and istalled Office 2013. I then installed iTunes. After moving all my music to my new PC I got iTunes to import it, and then synced it to my iPod (3rd gen.) However, I cannot get iTunes to sync my Outlook Calendar or Contacts with my iPod. When I try it crashes Outlook. iTunes continues to try to sync, but when it finishes my Calendar and Contents are empty (ERASED!). I have de-installed and re-installed iTunes (according to Apple's instructions), repaired Office 2013 and Outlook, scanned for viruses (etc), cleaned out temp folders, defragmented, etc., etc., etc. Has anyone seen this before, and does anyone know houw to fix it? (HELP!)

Well, I guess I have to download some other software to make my apple product work. Really great stuff you guys sell. I will never buy another apple product. My Iphone, Ipod and Itunes are junk
