My ipod(3rd generation i think) is being weird. I turn it on and it will go to the lock screen and i will try to swipe it and the screen will go black and it will have a little white turning circle in the center. It does this constantly.

Please help.

Try:
- 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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Hello, I have a little problem with my ipod (3rd generation): I restored my iPod because of problems of wi-fi, then synced my music on itunes and then on my ipod. The problem is that I still do not have wi-fi and my ipod says I have no music. Help me!

No. In fact, my ipod detects the livebox and the network but I can not connect to the internet.

HT1320 have a ipod 3rd generation

have a ipod 3rd generation put in the washer by mistake did the rice thing nothing.

It may be damaged. You have to make sure it is completely dry on the inside. Any moisture can cause short circuits and damage if you try to use the iPod.
If it has already been left alone drying out for at least several days, the iPod is probably damaged and will no longer function.

HT4962 Any ideas how to get my software updated on my IPOD 3rd Generation when my computer times out? I have tried several times and it appears to take 30 plus hours. How Frustrating, not to mention the kids are too!

If the iTunes purchases are not in your iTunes library you can redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If you restore from backup, not that synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup and thus if those items are not in the iTunes library they can't be restored to the iPod during the latter part of the restore process.

I have a ipod 3rd generation when i try to update it its says i have the latest version

i have a ipod 3rd generation when i try to update it its says i have the latest version

Look at the back of the iPod. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. The 2nd generation iPod touch is model A1288, and 3rd generation iPod touch is model A1318. If you have a second-generation iPod touch, the last release of iOS is can run is 4.2.1.

I have East/West Symphony. Will it work with Logic express and do I have to have that little red usb drive in the computer to authorize it?

I have East/West Symphony.
Will it work with Logic express and do I have to have that little red usb drive in the computer to authorize it?
Also, would it work with Garageband??

Thanks-that's the same driver I'm using now.
The M-audio techs were unable to tell me if Quattro would work with LE8, so I've been wasting my time and money trying to make it work.
They also gave me conflicting opinions as to whether or not "tip" polarity was an issue when using an after-market adapter. One said definitely yes, one or two others said definitely no.
Their phone tech line has a 20 to 40 minute wait when I call. The online support system is confusing, which even they admit. I don't think my next interface will be from M-audio.
Thanks very much for the response, it helps me get beyond this phase.
Is the Quattro of any use for anybody else (i.e., can I sell it or give it away)?

Ipod 3rd generation wont download all the way

My ipod 3rd generation wont let me download apps. when i put my apple ID and it starts to download but quits in the middle of the download

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.

IPod 3rd generation stuck on grey screen.

Hi, the other day I was listening to music when my iPod 3rd Generation flew out of my pocket (sweatpants) and dropped to the floor. It was fine after that but when i left it alone for about half an hour the blacklight turned off and my screen is now grey. It played music but i followed some tips and restored it so now no music is on it. It works fine if i put music back on it the only problem is the screen is grey. I have tried the "Toggle hold button then press Menu/And Center at the same time" and it doesn't change the grey screen. Help ?

If a full restore of the Nano did not resolve the display issue, it's most likely hardware related meaning you'll need to either take or send your iPod in for service.
Apple will do an out of warranty exchange for your iPod for the amount listed on this page.

Third party service centers are a bit cheaper, but not always reliable, so choose at your own risk.

HT1535 I own an iPhone4, an iPod 3rd generation and an iPad 2. I use the same iTunes library but unfortunately synced iPad with a different computer before syncing to my own. Do I risk losing the films/apps I've downloaded onto my iPad if I sync with my i

I don't want to sync what is on my iPod to my iPad. (I have a 32gb iPod but only 16gb on iPad. The iPod I use mostly for music.) I can't seem to add the films I have downloaded onto iPad to iTunes. If I could do that, I could erase them from iPad to create more storage.
This is intensely confusing, sorry.

Question.....
"I own an iPhone4, an iPod 3rd generation and an iPad 2. I use the same iTunes library but unfortunately synced iPad with a different computer before syncing to my own. Do I risk losing the films/apps I've downloaded onto my iPad if I sync with my iPod?"
Answer.....
Yes you will lose the films that you downloaded to the iPad when you sync with your own iTunes unless you transfer the purchases into your own iTunes library. Were these movies that you purchased? If so, you might be able to download them again for free. Do you have multiple computers that you sync from or is this someone else's purchased content?
You can select whatever you want to sync to all of your devices in iTunes, you do not have to sync the same content to all device.

Ipod 3rd generation podcast sequence

I have an ipod 3rd generation. I have no problem at downloading and installing podcasts onto my ipod. What I do have a problem with is being able to get them to play in order. For instance I have a number of talks which are part 1, part 2, part 3, etc.... however when they are downloaded onto my ipod it insists on playing them back to front e.g. part 3, part 2, part 1 etc... can someone please assist me in how I can get them to play in order as I don't want to mess around with my ipod when I'm driving. Thanks

Oh, forgot about this. Navigate to the podcast menu. Highlight the name of the podcast. Don't press select, press play. This should play all of the podcasts in the correct order (or, at least it worked on the 3rd gen Nano with some version of the firmware).

My ipod 3rd generation touch wheel won't charge on my laptop..

I have an iPod 3rd Generation with touch wheel.
When I attach it to my laptop it will not charge and not only that, if I attach it to my laptop FULLY CHARGED the battery seems to drain in a few seconds and the the ipod goes dead. This means that i can't add or remove any msic from it at all.
I've restarted it, switched cables, switched ports. Nothing. I have scoured the support pages but have found nothing as yet. Any ideas, or does it go to the big Apple shop in the sky?

I have the same iPod a 3rd generation iPod 15gb. That iPod is not supported to be charged through USB, only Firewire. It also looks like you have a battery problem and that can easily be replace my you or someone you know. Check out the site www.ifixit.com and you be able to find a new battery for like $15. the site will also show you how to take it apart.

My iPod 3rd generation isn't updating my apps.

I just updated a few apps today (my iPod was connected to my computer with my USB cable and I was in Itunes, my iPod was recognized, and it was showing all the apps I have.) Then a couple still said "update", so I clicked on update and they just said "will update" and nothing happened. Why aren't they updating, when I just updated some other ones? There are 3 that just sit there saying "will update" (Facebook, Weatherbug and Messenger). I have not idea why it won't update, I never had a problem before. I am in my iTues profile and it is showing all my apps in there, I even clicked on sync, it says it synced, but those apps are still not updated. Anyone know what the problem could be?? Thank you!
Also, when I turn on my iPod when not attached to the computer via USB, I go into the App Store, it shows the Updates button in the bottom right corner highlighted in blue, but when I hit it, nothing happens. The page says all apps are up to date, but why is the blue update arrow highlight to download updates?

Ok, I think I know why those apps won't update. I tried updating them from my iPod (instead of from my computer) and when I hit Install, it says "iPod current version requires iOS 7.0 or later, but you can download the last compatible version". I have iOS version 6.1.6 on my Ipod 3rd generation (32GB). So, my question is, can I download iOS 8 onto this iPod, or is it too old, making my iPod pretty much useless??
Thanks!

I can´t sync my iPod 3rd Generation with iTunes library

Hello, I´ve been trying for a while to sync my iPod with my iTunes library on my PC. It does show up on Windows as a drive and iTunes seems to know there is a device plugged in but then a message appears: "iTunes could not connect to the iPod touch because an invalid response was received from the device" I´ve tried several solutions, including: restarting the iPod Service, restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service, emptying my Temp directory and restarting and changing my device´s Drive Letter. On rare occasions, when I give it another try, I manage to get the iPod recognized, but when I enter the iPod menu, the sync button appears grayed out or if I can click it and attempt to synce the iPod, it seems to happen in the computer, but no changes are made on the iPod. I´ve tried syncing only music and only "selected music and tracks" but no setting seems to be transmitted to the iPod. The iPod shows the "charging" icon but never the "syncing" icon. I hope somone can help me. I have also tried syncing over Wi-Fi, and in the iPod, I can see the Pc but it appears grayed out.
And, to my outrage, random songs have been dissapearing from the iPod randomly. It sounds weird but maybe it is because of iOS 5. I have an iPod 3rd Generation and iOS 5.1.1 (9B206). Both iTunes and my iPod say my software is up to date and maybe the iPod is too old for further updates but I only want to get my new iTunes songs into my iPod. Please somebody help me. Thanks very much!

If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
