Third Generation iPod will no longer update music

After updating to iTunes 7 and finding that this meant i could no longer connect my ipod i found instructions on how to downgrade back to iTunes 6. many people who were experiencing the same problems found that this worked however it has not done so for me. although iTunes recognises my iPod, when i try to put my music onto it, it regularly freezes and wipes my ipod. i have even tried downloading my music album by album and it doesnt seem to matter how few songs i attempt to put on at any one time it still freezes. any suggestions as to how to fix this?

The Computer did recognise it and said it had malfunctioned, it is still saying that now. iTunes 7 did recognise that an ipod was connected but said to restore it to factory settings, however when i clicked ok it wood disconnect my ipod from iTunes.

I have a 2nd gen ipod touch. Recently I updated the OS from original second gen to the latest available which is software 4.2.1. Since doing this the ipod will no longer play music, videos, or stream online content. Any ideas how to fix it please?

I have tried restoring factory settings and loading the preferences I saved before updating the OS.
Neither of these methods have any effect.
The ipod also seemingly prevents you from restarting the ipod using the earlier OS software when resorting from recovery mode.
Any other ideas?
Cheers

- Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
- When restoring to factory defaults/new iPod fails to resolve a problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment a the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPod will no longer play music!!!

I have the 30 gigabyte black iPod color. Yesterday, it stopped playing music out of the earphone jack and through the hookup on the bottom. No music comes out at all! I really don't have any other information, I restored it today because I thought maybe I accidentally messed with the settings, but that did not solve the problem. Please help me, thanks in advance

I have the exact same iPod and the same exact problem. I bought mine in the summer of 2006 and it died about 2 weeks ago. I have never dropped it but I do play it in the car all the time. I leave it in the car in the summer so I wonder if the heat go to it.
The screen still works, it will still sync with my pc (itunes) and it still "clicks" when I scroll through menu options. I paid something like $350 for it 2 years ago and I am really upset that it looks like I have to go and spend another $250 for a new one. I reset it as well with no luck.
I wish it had a diagnostic utility of some sort.

TS2634 What if your iPod touch is reading that the date is in the 1800s and will no longer update the web and music that is "recent"?

My iTouch is reading that the date is in the 1800s and will no longer update my "recently purchased" songs or update websites.

Go to Settings>General>Date & Time and correct the times/date. Also, in Settings>General>International make sure the Calendar is set to Gregorian.

HT4972 Has anyone had issues with failure of the music player to launch after updating to OS5? My Gen 3 will no longer play music!

Has anyone had issues with failure of the music player to launch after updating to OS5? My Gen 3 will no longer play music!

I think a few have.
Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: 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
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and also I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel.

My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good for me. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel. Also my itunes doesn't allow "enable disk use" anymore. Can anyone help? My ipod now says that it's the 4.3.4 version

- Unjailbroken iPod never showed % battery. Just the icon.
- Unjailbroken iPod Touches never had a disk mode.
- What happens when you try to drag a wiggling app to a empty space in the bottom? Does it move and snap back?

HT3310 what wireless headphones will work with a third generation ipod?

What wireless headphones will work with a third generation ipod classic?

The third generation iPod classic does not support BT.
If you meant the 3G iPod touch thenyou need a pair that supports:
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP)
Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP)
iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles

HT1351 My ipod will sync with my music library but willno longer download purchased music. What can I do to correct this?

My Ipod will not download purchased music even though it displays "synchronizing" message. This was never a problem before. Note: my ipad will not sync either. I have my music library stored in a PC Windows 7). Is there something that I am not doing correctly?

Try disabling a/v software and turning off the Firewall on your PC.
Disable antivirus software
Turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
Then try syncing your iPod.

No "Podcast" playlist on third generation iPod

In iTunes, all of my podcasts are in their own group or playlist (as are the Audiobooks). However, when I try to transfer them to my third generation iPod, the Audiobooks playlist goes over but the Podcast one does not.
I have my iPod set up to manage manually and I can transfer the Podcasts over that way, but once they are there they disappear. I can't find them in any playlists or under the artist name or anything. How can I find these? Some of them are quite large so I'd like to delete them from my tiny 15GB iPod!

I'm thinking I may have a more serious problem...this iPod will not reset. Instead of getting the start-up screen (Apple), the screen lits up and then dims without resetting, no matter how long you hold the menu/select buttons.
Thanks.

Did you try to charge it using the adapter or your computer?
If you can, let it charge for about 15min, then connect in recovery mode, described in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
If still not luck, your battery might have to be replaced:

My iPod will no longer turn on after I fully charged it. HELP!

I knew I should have never trusted Apple with personal files. I put all of my pictures from my digital camera (1,800 of them) on the ipod for "safe" keeping. Now my ipod will no longer turn on. I fully charged the ipod until the "charged" icon appeared. Then I disconnected it. A couple hours later I tried to turn it on and it no longer turns on. I've had this iPod for about 6 months and I'm pretty sure it's not a dead battery. It's been very good with me. The hold switch is NOT activated. I went through all of the common sense troubleshooting steps. I tried to reset the ipod. I tried recharging it on AC power. I tried reconnecting it via USB on computer. I tried the updater, which doesn't work b/c ipod won't turn on. I've also tried hitting it...jk. I also have 10,330 songs on here. This is my life on my ipod. I can't afford to lose this info. 60GB gone. Is there anything else I can do to fix this? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks

HT1351 My fifth generation nano will no longer sync my address book from my Mac. It gives me an error message that "You have no contacts" and asks me if I want to create some. My address book is full of contacts. Sync works for everything else.

My 5th generation nano will no longer Sync my address book from my Mac. It gives me a message that I have no "Contacts", and asks if I want to create some. My address book is full of contacts, but for some reason it thinks it is empty. All the other sync operations work fine including iCal. My Mac is running OS X 10.7.4.

It sounds like all of your contacts on your Mac running Lion are actually stored up in iCloud.
Several users running Mac OS X Lion and now ML (and iCloud) have no longer been able to "sync" contacts over to their older iPods models.
A work around is to export all of your contacts out of Address Book as vCards and them copy these vCards into your iPod's Contacts folder. You'll need to have the Enable Disk Use option ticked from under the iPod's Summary tab in order to browse out to the iPod's Contacts folder via the Finder.
Using your iPod as a storage drive
That's the only "solution" I have been able to use to get contacts to sync/appear on my 5G iPod Video.
