Player for iPod nano 3rd generation

Have a new generation nano, have bought 3 sets of speakers, and NONE will play. iPod either goes black and does nothing or will play songs, but no controls will work so I can't advance or use menus. I notice a lot of advertising says "works with most iPods"...I need speakers for this thing so my kid will get out of the kitchen!!! Am I doing something wrong or is this thing that unfriendly?

You need to identify the BRAND of speakers you're referring to. I have used a couple different ones without problems, but that doesn't mean everything is compatible. Usually you can read reviews of speakers BEFORE you buy (in the Apple store online) to make sure they work as advertised.

  • How do I find games for ipod nano 3rd generation

    I cannot find games for iPod nano in iTunes even though all the support keeps telling me to select iPod nano from the Source list. There is no source list, no games tab, nothing that leads me to the iPod nano games. When I click on apps, and just go to a game, they are all just for iphones, ipads or ipod touches. This is frustrating. Any help would be appreciated!

    I believe that a few really low quality iPod games were distributed as freeware a long time ago, however you're much more likely to find malware infested web sites than any genuine source if you go hunting for them, and you'll still be disapointed with what you find. If you want games get an iPod touch.

  • Ms. Pac Man Game for Ipod Nano 3rd generation?

    I was going to purchase Ms Pac Man for my Ipod which of course is the 3rd generation. It says on the main screen that it is only for the 3rd and 5th generation. When I click buy it says, "Warning - for 5th generation only!" Does anyone know which is true?
    Thanks!

    Oh wait - I went back into the store and looked at my account. I think what happened is I plugged the nano in while I was trying to buy... plug it in first then go to the store and buy...It should play on a 3rd gen nano ... even though that disclaimer during the buy process says you need a 5th gen video iPod.

  • HT1384 My ipod nano 3rd generation, when connected by usb, does not show up in itunes, does not show up on my computer, does not seem to charge by the wall charger. It just has a black screen. Any ideas for me?

    I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.

    Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
    Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(

    Can I revert back to a previous version? Or must I upgrade to a newer device? Thank you for you expertise!!

  • Connecting an iPod nano (3rd generation) to Windows Vista

    I have purchased an iPod nano (3rd generation) and I tried to connect it via USB to a Windows Vista Enterprise Laptop. Even though the iPod is connected (as it appears on the iPod screen), Windows fails to locate the driver to install it. I have tried several articles found in the discussions forum, reseting the iPod nano, re-installing iTunes, and rebooting Vista, but no solution given.
    Please advise.
    Thanks

    Have not been able to connect to iTunes for months, right about the time Microsoft put out the Zune! Would love to hear from a lawyer about a class action lawsuit againat Apple since this issue has not been resolved and we are required to use iTunes. In the meantime, filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission!

  • 1 iPod Nano 3rd generation and 2 user accounts on Mac Mini

    My husband and I share our Mac Mini and we log in under separate user
    names. He is the administrator for the computer. My problem started
    when I initially purchased Phase and I could not upload it to my
    iPod Nano 3rd generation. So in an effort to demonstrate the problem I had my husband log
    in to the Mac Mini under his user name and then logged into the
    iTunes store using my account information and bought Scrabble. He was
    able to upload Phase to the iPod but then when I logged into my user
    name on the Mac Mini and went to the iTunes store I could only see
    Scrabble (not Phase) and in order to download it I was forced to sync
    my Games on the iPod which overwrote the Phase game. So now I only
    have Scrabble on my iPod and I can't see Phase in my iTunes account.
    How do I remedy this?

    Hello HernanOtt,
    Depends on where you have it serviced.  Here are Apple's repair quotes.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    You would probably save a lot of money by having a 3rd party repair company do the job for you instead.  Just do a simple Google search for iPod repair and you'll get a plethora of results.

  • Does the iPod nano 3rd Generation charge and sync in an iPhone 3G Dock?

    I wanna bye an iPhone 3G Dock. Now I have the question if I can connect my iPod nano 3rd Generation to the new dock for syncing and charging. On Apples homepage is the campatibility status set to only iPhone 3G, but I question this because older docks, like the one for the old iPod Photo works with other iPods as well.
    The dock connector on the iPhone 3G dock seems to be the same as the one on the charging cable and that cable has to be inserted in the dock. So why should it not work?
    I know I could bye the iPhone 3G cradle for the universal dock I already have, but I want to have the ability to make speakerphone conversations with the iPhone in the dock. That only works well with the original iPhone 3G dock.
    Can someone help me?

    Bit late on the old reply, but i'm using a different Apple Dock for my Nano. I have the Universal one,but it looked so big for the little Nano. I stumbled across an iPhone one by mistake, but only cost me £7 delivered, brand new.
    So in answer to your question, yes. And it enables me to get a skin on the iPod and still use the dock...

  • IPod Nano 3rd generation: Only plays songs recently downloaded to my iTunes Library

    iPod Nano 3rd generation (Version 1.1.3) for Windows
    Any song that I download onto the iPod shows up in its library, but when I try to listen to the songs, they won't play.
    The only songs the iPod will play are those that have just recently downloaded onto my iTunes library.
    If the new songs aren't on the iPod, then when I try to play a song, the "now playing" screen shows up, not showing any songs, and the playlist says "playing 1 of 0"

    Hi LeviBC,
    It sounds quite frustrating having your iPod only play certain songs, I am quite sure I would be unhappy in similar circumstances. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
    If you are having issues with your iPod nano (3rd generation) not playing some of your music, I would suggest troubleshooting using the steps found on this page -

  • Can I replace my ipod nano 2nd generation with ipod nano 3rd generation.?

    I bought an iPod Nano 2nd generation last year in June and the warranty lasts until June of this year 2008. I want to know if there is any way to upgrade to an iPod Nano 3rd Generation without paying for a whole new iPod. If my iPod is messed up or something, will they replace it with a 3rd generation iPod Nano, or another 2nd generation iPod Nano. Is there any way to get the 3rd Generation iPod Nano?
    [x|http://www.parikesit.com]

    If my iPod is messed up or something, will they replace it with a 3rd generation iPod Nano, or another 2nd generation iPod Nano.
    If they still have iPods in stock of the older generation, you will get one of these; the color may vary, but other specifications should be the same. If not, you will most likely get a current model.
    You may want to find someone willing to purchase that iPod, and then put the money toward a current one.
