RDS data display and 3rd gen iPod nano

Will RDS data be displayed for compatibile stations when using the Radio remote with 3rd gen iPod nano?

Since the iPod radio remote isn't compatible with the 3rd gen nano, the answer is probably no.
I've found that the radio/remote often does work with iPods that are not listed as compatible, but that some of the features (such as RDS) do not or at least if they do work, they're pretty hit and miss.

My 3rd gen ipod nano is not being read by itunes when I plug it into my mac laptop. It says "no name" on the mac screen, I lost all my music on the ipod itself.

My 3rd gen iPod nano is not being read by my iTunes on my mac. When going to sync, the mac screen says "no name". Also I believe I lost all the music on the iPod. When turned on it says "Welcome" as if it is new. I tried to copy all my music into the "no name" folder and then sync. The iPod said it was "syncing".

So does iTunes see the iPod or not? I couldn't quite understand from your post as you said it wasn't, but then said that the iPod was syncing...

What are the best devices to use in my car to listen to music on my 3rd gen iPod Nano?

What are the best devices on the market today to use in my car to listen to music on my 3rd Gen iPod nano? I currently use the Monster device that plugs into the electrical adapter (former cigarrette lighter!) in the car. It's a pain in the neck to manually search for unused FM stations on a long trip. I want something that automatically searches for unsused FM stations or, better yet, that will allow me to somehow connect the iPod into the CD player or directly to the radio itself. I have a 2004 Toyota Highlander.
Any suggestions for quality after-market products from the Forum?

If you have files with the .m4v or .m4a extension its better to change them to .mp4. The M4 extensions will sometimes download in the browser instead of playing.
A usefull free app for file conversion is Miro...

It can quickly convert to all the formats you need to load for html5 playback: MP4, OGG, WebM
If you include these three, fallback to flash will only be required for Internet Explorer V 8 and older. V 9 is supposed to support html5 but I haven't actually seen any proof of this.
Players like flowplayer and JWLongtail are convenient because the control bar icon be customized. This lets you get away from the nasty looking QT control bar.

Attempting to connect a 3rd gen ipod nano to itunes that has 2nd gen nano..

So that may or may not have made sense, but basically what is happening that I'm trying to sync up my brand-new 3rd gen. iPod nano to a newly update version of iTunes that still shows that my 2nd gen. iPod is on there, when it got stolen 4 months ago. I've restarted my computer about 4 times and un-installed and re-installed iTunes twice, all to no avail.
I appreciate any answers that may come from this.

Oh, so you mean go from headphone jack to aux? I thought I had to go from that new lightning connector to aux.

3rd gen iPod Nano will not sync with latest version of iTunes. It passes the connectivity test but not the sync test under diagnostics. Worked fine on old Windows 7 laptop but not new one. From Control Panel it shows up as an Apple iPod USB Device...

Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok.

Hi my 3rd gen iPod nano is not connecting to iTunes - the error message says there is missing software to communicate with the device. I am running iTunes 10.4 on XP and I have tried all the troubleshooting routes to no avail - anybody help me out?

I can't get Itunes to communicate with my 3rd gen Nano - I've reinstalled iTunes several times but still get the same error message for both mine and my wife's ipod - same version of 3rd gen. All the troubleshooting guide has been followed but still not connecting.
Any ideas?

3rd gen iPod nano is not correctly recognized on new Windows 7 iTunes

Moved my iTunes library from old PC to new Win7 PC via direct iTunes folder copy.
Looked ok
but when I connect my 3rd Gen Nanos, I get dire warnings that I have to authorize new PC with my son's AppleID not mine (was originally his iPod but long since factory reset and reloaded) or else iTunes will delete purchased songs. (The new PC is authorized for my Apple Id).
I have 2 of these iPods and the other one was never my son's so I don't know why it also thinks it needs his id.
When we check my son's account and look at devices, the iPods are not listed. (maybe only newer iOS devices are listed?) So I can't "remove" the iPods from that account via the iTunes Store account profile.
yes, I have tried reinstalling iTunes and wiping the registry - no luck. If I "cancel" when the dire warnings come up instead of authorizing using my son's account, then the iPod is not recognized at all by iTunes (does appear as external drive in Windows) and I have to reinstall .... again.
My questions are:
1) do the old iPods themselves some how store the original Apple ID they were associated with?
2) If so, how can I reset to use my Apple ID?
Will "factory reset" work?
What I don't want is to reset and then find out I can't reload using current iTunes library associated with current Apple ID
3) I don't think this will solve the problem but: in iTunes, can I separately sign in with both IDs and authorize the computer with both IDs? Can a single instance/install/library of iTunes use 2 different AppleIDs? (there are not 2 users on this PC - just 1. So just 1 iTunes instance, just 1 library)
More details:
I tried:
If I authorize the new PC for my son's account which the ipod and Itunes seems to want, then when the iPods are connected, all the song's listed in the library in main/right pane are greyed out and can't be selected. I don't recall this being a problem on the old PC so something seems wrong.
I am concerned that:
If I give up and authorize this PC for both Apple Id's, then what? If I buy something new from iTunes (using, can I sync it to the iPod?

4G 3rd Gen Ipod Nano - "Appears to be Corrupted"

I'm getting the the following error:
"Itunes has detected and Ipod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this Ipod before it can used with Itunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the Ipod."
I've tried connecting the new Ipod to my G4 Mac OS X 10.3.9 Itunes 6 and with my PC running Windows XP with Itunes 7.4.2 (most recent update as far as I can tell).
Is this a factory defect? I bought the nano a few days ago and it hasn't worked yet. The actual device itself looks fine, powers up and on, allows me to click through the menus and select all the categories.
Any advice here?

Did you get this error message on the PC? If you did, it most likely has a drive collision problem with something else attached to the computer. Connect the 3rd Gen Nano to a rear port on your PC, and connect your mouse and keyboard. Disconnect ALL other USB devices including printers, scanners, digital cameras, external hard drives, thumb drives, improbability drives, modems, etc. and disconnect from any network you might be on. Now change the drive letter of the iPod to something much higher like M or P ro Z, so long as you have no other devices using these letters.

The 3rd Generation Nano won't work with either OS X 10.3.9 or iTunes 6.

Where do I find ipod games in the itunes store? It's for a 3rd gen ipod nano.

I go to the apps section in the itunes store and the only games are for ipad and iphone. The iphone apps say they'll work on ipod touch, but nothing about ipod nano. I've found a bunch of FAQ stuff saying ipod games work on 3rd, 4rth, 5th gen nano and classic, but I can't find where ipod games are. I did a search for "click wheel games" and it said that option is not available in itunes US. I just gave my old 3rd gen nano to my niece and she's dying to get games on it, but I can't find them. Some one save me!
I synced the ipod to her parents account and checked for updated software, it said the OS was version 1.1.7 or something like that, and that that was the most current version.

Apple no longer sells games for any iPods except the touch. Sorry, but unless you already had them downloaded to your iTunes account, you can't get them now.

Nike + and 3rd gen ipod?

Hey. I was wondering if the Nike+ products are compatible with the small Gen. 3 ipod. I think the software is version 1.2.1 or something like that. I also recently got a mac and my ipod is formatted for windows so I think that means I can't update the software on the ipod?

I was wondering if the Nike+ products are compatible with the small Gen. 3 ipod.
If it's an iPod touch or iPod nano, yes. Otherwise, no.

Not without restoring the iPod, which erases its contents.

Problem with 3rd Gen Ipod Nano being recognized by Itunes

I have a third generation Ipod Nano that was only used once. It takes a full charge and appears to be working fine. Problem is when I plug it into a computer it is not recognized by Itunes. The computer recognizes it but not Itunes. I have tried it on several computers and same situation. I have tried other Ipods and they are recognized by Itunes. I have reset it and reloaded Itunes with no change. Any suggestions?

If none of the solutions found in the PDF user manual and from DIY websites like iFixit and YouTube's How To tutorials work then it's time to take your iPod Nano to your local Apple Store or an AASP.

Intel iMac and 3rd Gen ipod

This problem involves iPods, but I believe has more to do with the iMac/OS X.
I installed the security update that was released in early March, and since then, neither of the two 3rd generation ipods in my house will work with my iMac. However, they WILL work with my girlfriends iBook, and she did NOT install that security update from early March.
Essentially, when I doc either of the iPods on my iMac, they freeze up, whir like crazy, and I can't even force quit. I have to just pull them off the dock and reset them by holding down play and menu. The ipods still work, and will still interact with the iBook, so I do not believe this to be a problem with the iPods themselves.
I've brought this matter up in the iPod forums, and have gotten no real resolution. People suggest the 5 Rs, but that DOES NOT fix the problem.
Any insight? Anyone?

I'm not sure why you are having problems, but my 3g iPod works great. No issues. I have all updates offered by Apple installed.
Have you tried a different firewire port & plugged directly into the Mac?
I have read on these groups of some folks having problems with firewire ports.
Also, plug it in & then run the Console (...Applications/Utilities), see what the log is saying.
Good luck,
Steve

Dual Universal Bluetooth GPS Receiver and 3rd Gen iPod Touch

Has anyone used the Dual Universal Bluetooth GPS Receiver with a 3rd Generation iPod Touch? I understand that the Bluetooth connection only works for the headphones so I was wondering how this unit uses the Bluetooth connection. Does it work?

I was looking for a way to get around that, as it sounds plausible. But i have had iTunes on a previous machine here at the office and it worked fine. Right now, the only option i have in iTunes with it connected is to "eject" the ipod. Not neccesarrily an error # message, but one does come up that says "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your network connection is active and try again"
as for restoring at home, it just goes through the motion on the progress bar, but when it reaches around 100% it says "failed to restore. ___" i cant remember the rest as i was up til 2am, and back awake at 6am trying to figure this out...
Last night, there was no battery icon, and the screen stayed illuminated in recovery mode...i updated iTunes, and restarted my laptop at home, and now this morning the screen times out and dims, and there is all of a sudden a battery charging icon in the upper right corner. It would not "power down" at all last night...there was no "power off" slide option after holding the button(s)....this morning it will power off.
It also wouldnt connect to my car radio this morning like it would last night when i came home. The radio doesnt even recognize it anymore.
here is a quick screenshot of what i see...nothing...with it plugged up...

gabeisaman, Welcome to the discussion area!
I don't know which iPod that is exactly. If it connects via Firewire it will charge from the iBook.
