Old Docks and 3rd and 4th Gen Ipods

I have a dock from a 3rd gen ipod. My new classic does not fit into this dock. (I don't believe they were really universal yet). Does the 4th gen ipod fit into this dock? I'm looking to buy a used ipod and want to know whether I should limit myself to a 3G or if I can get a 4G.
Thanks.

My iPod Classic fits just fine inside my 3rd generation iPod dock.

  • Comparing 2nd gen and 4th gen ipod touch capacities

    Hi
    I have a 2nd gen Ipod touch that was 29.4Gb capacity with around 2.8gb left of space. I was gifted with a 4th gen ipod touch which has a 29.06 gb capacity. When I was trying to restore it from the backup of the 2nd gen ipod touch, it says I have 1.6gb left? Of course you have the 0.4gb difference but what happened to the 1.2gb???

    Was your 2nd gen the same iOS verson?
    Does your 2nd gen have the FaceTime app?
    Does your 2nd gen have the Camera app?
    Does your 2nd gen have the ring tones in Settings -> Sounds?
    Does your 2nd gen support separate alarm volume vs media volume controls?
    I'm sure there are other differences specific to the 4th gen which the 2nd gen can not do, so it would not include those bits.

  • How to pair iphone 3gs and 4th gen ipod touch? ipod finds iphone but iphone finds nothing?

    Just bought an Ipod touch 4th gen. for my son. I have an iphone 3gs and was hoping to pair the 2 by bluetooth and find an app so if he's in range i could locate him since most places he prolly can not connect to wifi. However, the ipod finds my iphone and neigbhors device but my iphone searches and searches but finds nothing? Few other questions, 1st semester ITSEC student going through networking class i see 802.15 blue tooth only has a range of about 30 ft so this prolly won't help me much if i do get them paired. When pairing throught bluetooth is this an AD HOC connection or is and AD HOC just using RF to connect nodes? Anyways if you have advice why my ipones 3gs is not finding other devices and the best apps or ways if possible to locate the ipod through my iphone in public?

    The iPhone does not support the protocols necessary to do what you want. Besides which, bluetooth is not directional in any way. I don't understand how you intend to "locate" him even if you could pair the two devices and they had unlimited range. You could set up the free 'Find my iPhone' service on the iPod and if it's on a WiFi network, you may be able to get an approximate location.
    As for why your 3Gs will not find other devices, the bluetooth profiles support handsfree devices such as headsets, A2DP audio streaming and bluetooth keyboards ONLY. You will never be able to pair it with another phone.

  • 3 Gen Dock and 5 Gen iPod?

    I have 3rd Gen dock station and I just bought 30 GB iPod for my wife. I have used thie dock to set up my... I mean my wife's iPod but I have some concerns. Namely: this new iPod is much thinner than my older 3rd gen. Is it OK to use this dockin station? I am concerned that the connectors may break under stress.
    Other complains (I can't resist to post them, I am sure others will agree with me on these)
    - Why is FireWire support missing? USB downloads take twice as long. This seems like a move backwards by Apple especially now download times are even more important (Video + Pictures). This move makes absolutely no sense to me.
    - included USB cable is a foot and a half long. Common! My PC is under my desk. There is not enough lenght.
    - No docking station, charger, or carrying pouch. Well, I understand about keeping the costs down but where is it going to stop? I bet the next gen will not have earbuds and connection cable

  • Question about buying a used 3rd or 4th gen ipod touch.

    I'd like to purchase a used iPod Touch for my child. I need capability to download/play songs from iTunes, download apps like games, and text message. Would a 3rd gen work? What should I consider when deciding between a 2nd, 3rd, 4th generation? This is for a 10year old so I really don't want to buy anything new or fancy or spend too much $$. Thank you!

    - I would not get a 2G. They can only go to iOS 4.2.1 and very many apps need a higher iOS.
    - A 3G can ony go to 5.1.1 and now oy a few app require a higher iOS
    If you get a 3G, make sure it is realy a 3G and not a 2G. They look alike

    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.
    - A 4G can go to the current 6.1.3 but it will not go to iOS 7.

  • Will the Altec Lansing IMT320 charge both  the 2nd and 4th gen Nano Ipod?

    Will the Altec Lansing IMT320 charge both  the 2nd and 4th gen Ipod Nano? I have the IM500 which will charge the 2nd gen but is "incompatible" with the 4th gen as regards charging. It will, however, play the 4th gen. Am considering the IMT320 due to its size.
    Regards

    According to the Compatibility tab on this page, it should work with all nanos with the exception of the 6G version.

  • Can bomberman game work with 4th Gen ipod Nano?

    In the games section it says they all work for the 3rd and 4th gen ipods and then inside the games it says different in some cases, and in the bomberman game one it says only the 3rd gen nano, will this not work with the 4th gen nano? Lemme know thanks! AIM me at azrael4791 about this! THanks!

    You're looking at this one, right?
    http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewGame?id=270226845&s=143441
    Interesting, the main page does say 3rd & 4th gen nanos, but the Bomberman page doesn't. However some of the other games I checked randomly do say 4th gen nano.
    If I were you, I'd contact Hudson Software - the makers of that iPod click-wheel game.

  • When I put my 4th gen iPod Touch in my iPod dock it makes the sound and charges but when I play music it is silent. Help?

    The volume slider at the bottom disappears, so it is connected and my iPod dock will play music on my old 4th Gen iPod Touch. My new iPod will play fine through headphones, the internal speaker and one other iPod dock I have tried. I have restarted it (home and lock keys), reset and backed it up and this problem existed when it was on iOS6 (have updated it to iOS6.1 - problem still exists). Any help or suggestions welcome!!

    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.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    However, sometimes an iOS update will break conpatibility and you will have to wair for an update to either the iOS or the dock firmware.

  • HT201263 My 4th gen ipod touch is 6 mos old and will not turn on

    My 4th gen ipod touch is 6 mos old. Tried to turn on today and nothing.  Plugged into computer held down sleep/wake button and plugged into computer with usb.  Nothing.  It has not been dropped or bumped.  It has been stored as I don't use it often only to play music on spotify thru internet.  I probably haven't used this ipod more than 20 times.  Any suggestions?

    - After being connected to a charging source for at least an hour see if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.
    - If not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Since updating to iOS 6, my 4th gen iPod touch, and my 3rd gen iPad has sound in and out. Sometimes it's on, and then all of a sudden, no sound. I've tried everything from restarting to fully resetting each one starting fresh, but nothing. Please help.

  • HT1386 I just reinstalled my windows operating system and decided to put on windows 8.  After loading all of my music back into a freshly installed itunes, my 4th gen ipod is not recognized by itunes.  My 1st gen ipod nano works with no problem.  Help!

    reinstalled my windows operating system and decided to put on windows 8.  After loading all of my music back into a freshly installed itunes, my 4th gen ipod is not recognized by itunes.  My 1st gen ipod nano works with no problem.  I can eliminate any problems with the cable and connection.
    I've stopped and started the service, and also have performed cold reboots.
    Nothing seems to have helped the situation.
    Help!

  • My 4th gen Ipod touch won't power up but is recognized by itunes and is in recovery mode! What can I do/

    I can't get my 4th gen ipod touch to turn on but itunes see's it and is in recovery mode. I can hear the beep beep when I plug it in to the usb port. I have also charged it for 3 hrs so far but won't fire up. I tried the customery hold the home and power button routine but don't know what else to do. I tried recovery mode but the itunes say's"waiting for the ipod" and I guess cause it's not on it won't recover. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance to all who reply!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

    - 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.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
