My iPod touch 3rd generation won't play on my iPod dock when the alarm I set goes off. It plays normally and charges, but it won't work with the alarm. Could it be the iPod dock or my iPod?

My iPod touch just recently started doing this: I plug it in to my Sony iPod dock/alarm clock/radio. It charges fine and plays music fine, but when I set the alarm for it to go off, it doesn't go off. I can see that the dock is indicating that the alarm is going off, but the iPod isn't playing music. Could it be my iPod or the dock?
Also, there were 2 times when I plugged in my iPod to charge (once with a wall charger and once with the dock) and it said that it was fully charged. But it wasn't fully charged. I bought one of those iPod wall chargers from Target. It's not an Apple charger, but it is for iPods. Could it be that?
I'm going to try to reset my iPod and see if that helps any.

I have contacted apple support and Bose support.  When I have heard back will post for everyone.  I do encourage everyone to contact both companies until we get an answer to hopefully solve this issue.  The more people who contact them about the issue, maybe the better chance they will help fix the issue.

    Back from where?
    Where did it go?
    It should all be on your computer and included in your regular backup copy of your computer.
    Sync it back.

    iPod touch 3rd generation crashed while updating, and now it won't turn on, and it won't charge or be recognized in iTunes because it's completely dead; it's been dead for 3 days now. I've tried pressing home/sleep buttons for reset but nothing works, I've tried using different usb ports to charge it, but nothing seems to work. Please help asap. ...Thanks!(:

    After charging the iPod for half an hour, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

    - Is the iPod fully seated in the dock?
    - Does Bose say the dock is compatible with your model iPod and it iOS.
    - Did it every work?

    There or no setting for docks.

  • IPod Touch (3rd Generation) 30-Pin Dock Connector to 3.5mm

    Can anyone tell me if there are any 30-Pin to 3.5 mm connector cables available for the iPod Touch - 3rd Generation? I used to have several of these that I used with my 80GB Classic (connecting my Classic to my car stereo, home stereo, portable speakers, etc.) , but none of them seem to work with the 3rd gen. touch.
    Thanks!

    Check out SendStation's "PocketDock" with a 3.5mm jack and mini-USB connector. This gives you line-out audio level from the 3.5mm jack, much better than the headphone output.

  • Why do apps say that you need iPod touch 3rd generation but then won't sync to my iPod touch 3rd generation?

    I just bought three apps that listed iPod touch 3rd generation under the "Requirements", but then when I went to sync those apps to my iPod touch 3rd generation, it said my iOS was out of date for them.

    You obviously need to update your ios version on your ipod.

  • Ipod touch 3rd generation will connect to my wifi for a few seconds and then nothing will load. help please?

    I have an ipod touch 3rd generation 64gb and it has iOS 5.1.1 and it will connect to my WiFi for a few seconds and then nothing will load. It says I have full connection bbut nothing works. I have 2nd generation ipod and it connects fine. Along with my laptop and xbox 360. I have tried downgrading it and restoring it from itunes. I also tried forgetting the network and inputting it myself but it sti does the same thing. I even tried resetting my wireless modem but it still didnt make a change. I really could use some help. I can't call apple cause im no longer under warranty.

    Reset the iPod and connect to its syncing computer.  It it shows in iTunes restore the iPod.
    Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mod will allow iTunes t see the iPod so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • Reinstalled Itunes for Windows will not recognize ipod touch 3rd generation.

    Itunes for Windows and PC will not recognize my ipod touch 3rd generation.  Also it will not fully charge using a brand new apple brand power adapter and cable. I have already uninstalled all Apple software on PC and reinstalled.  I've tried every step suggested by Apple online iPod touch Troubleshooting Assistant.

    the best thing i think you could do is go to an apple store or uninstall itunes and reinstall it one more time and see what happens

  • Ipod touch 3rd generation can´t install apps

    I have a problem with apple.
    I bought a Ipod touch of the 3rd generation and I can´t install any apps the problem is that my ipod said You need ios 6 to install this app.I bought them in 2010.
    How can I fix this problem? I have ios 5.1.1.I would be okay that apple update my ipod to the version 8 of ios.
    I think that is a case of programmed obsolescence.
    I am very angry. I think that bought an ipod with only 5 years of use and then happens this. I find it amazing.

    Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
    Unfortunately that is the case with any kind of technology. Components get older and new software is designed to take advantage of current day technologies. The iPod touch 3rd generation is 6 years old which is a very long time in the age of technology. This may seem like a cop out answer but this iPod touch just could not handle current day software. Lets put it in perspective. If Apple updated that iPod touch to iOS 8.x then it would not have the power to handle even the simplest of operations. The iPod touch 3rd generation still works with iOS 5.x and allows you to use it as you did 6 years ago. Applications also get updated as well to support the newer technologies and with that they drop support for older hardware. Apps that had versions on the App Store that at some point in time supported your iPod, it will give you the option to install the older version. I am not saying Apple does not have planned obsolescence, what I am saying is that your iPod still functions because it does not use new software.

  • The lock and volume button's no longer work on my iPod Touch 3rd Generation?

    I've had my iPod Touch 3rd generation for about two years now, and have had hardly any problems with it... but now the lock button on the top of the ipod and the volume control button on the side of my ipod no longer work. Because the lock button won't work, I cannot reset my iPod. What can I do to fix this?

    Assuming that this is not a hardware problem have you tried restoring your iPod? If that does not work then the only thing may be to take it in for repair.

  • Ipod Touch (3rd generation) connection to a TV

    Can anyone tell me how to connect my Ipod Touch (3rd generation) model A1318 to a TV to display YouTube and Video?
    The Apple Store have advised me that they don't have a cable that will do this but to use a third party one with third party software from Itunes.
    Thanks,
    Steve.

    There is no special software.  You just need apps that support TV out.  Just not that TV out does not mirror the iPod's screen.
    You do not need a dock, just the cable.  From the link I provided:
    A dock can be a welcome addition if you're going to keep your cables connected to the TV. The Apple Universal Dock includes an Apple Remote so you can pause and adjust the volume from a distance

  • Ipod Touch, 3rd generation, blue striped screen, then... nothing

    I have an ipod touch 3rd generation, version 4.2.1 (I think), model A1288, 8gb.  A month ago it stopped working and wouldn't respond to a reset by pushing the on and home buttons together, and it wasn't recognized by itunes or by my Vista OS laptop.
    After sitting for weeks, the battery must have died and I charged it and it turned on and it seemed to work fine for a day.  Then overnight it crashed and died again.  I don't know what caused the crash, it wasn't being used at the time.  When I reset it following the crash, I got the apple logo, but nothing more... and then a black screen.  When I reset it again, I got a purplish, blue laterally striped screen with the apple logo in the middle ...and then it turned black and wouldn't respond. 
    Since that time, nothing I do will cause it to turn on or respond in any way.  No apple logo, no screen activity of any kind.   When I connect it to itunes, the computer doesn't recognize it and itunes doesn't respond to it.  When I connect my ipad to itunes, it's recognized just fine.  I've never seen this before.  Any ideas on how I should proceed with repairing this?  If I could get it to start up, I could look for updates and uninstall apps to try to eliminate a conflict, but I can't get it to respond at all.  Thanks for any ideas or help you can offer. 

    - After charging for at least an hour see if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.
