Wrong software on ipod

i was updating my ipods software when i noticed ive updated it with the ipod shuffle software and now my ipod third gen. doesnt respond ie. no light, doesnt play music. I was wondering what i can do? thanks in advance

You cannot put the wrong software on an iPod. The iPod updater is intelligent enough to "know" which model iPod is connected, and so installs the appropriate software.
Did you try restoring the iPod?

What is wrong with my ipod touch 2nd gen?

Ive had this iPod since mid 2010. It's running iOS 4.2.1 and it's not jailbroken. A few months ago I encountered a problem with it. It started to fast forward my songs and pause them and skip them as if it had a mind of it's own. I thought it was a one off and it never really happened after that. Yesterday something happened to it which forced it into recovery mode and I had to restore it to factory settings. Today I added some new songs onto it and I starte listening and all I could hear was music and no singing, then I could faintly hear the singing. I thought there was something wrong with the song so I changed it and it was the same with the next one. I've tried 3 different sets of heaphones which all work on other devices so it's not the headphones. So my iPod has kind of turned into a karaoke machine but with some songs it works ok for a while but then messes up. Also I've noticed that the fastforwarding thing has become much much worse after I restored it.
I'm really stuck. What should I do? Everything else works fine on it. All my apps are ok. Just the music player is stuffed. Could the headphone jack be broken? It worked fine yesterday before I restored it. Should I restore it again? I've already tried restarting and resetting it and neither of them worked. Also I don't have much space left on it, should I take off the movie that ive got on it? Maybe the memory is kind of choked up as well? Thanks for any help guys. As I said pretty much everything works fine on it and I'm trying to not buy a new iPod if I can help it. Oh and sometimes when I'm typing and press the backspace button once or twice it goes and deletes everything on it's own. Things run slow-ish as well. Anyway to improve that?
Oh and may I also add when I can hear the singing in the songs sometimes it's normal, sometimes it sounds like they're singing underwater, sometimes it sounds like they're singing live, sometimes it sounds like they're robots...it's not how the songs are meant to sound. They didn't sound like that before and they don't sound like that on my laptop. There's something wrong with my iPod but idk if it's the headphone jack or a software/hardware problem. :/ :(

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be 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.
- 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
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

If you get an network timed out error, try disabling the security software on your computer.

My ipod is cracked and it chipped away a little more last night and that's when my wifi stopped working. My wifi works on every other device in my house except for my ipod. Is there something wrong with my ipod?

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Try right next to the router
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- 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.
- Power off and then back on your router

If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Could it be this?
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

HT201559 What is wrong with my ipod?

Can anyone help me identify what is wrong with my iPod? One day I tried to unlock it, and nothing happened. The screen is semi frozen, i can still use the screen home button (my original home button is broken) but i cant unlock it or turn it off. Basically i cant do anything that requires sliding my finger across the screen. I receive notifications still, the time changes, and I get alerted right as i plug the charger in. As im writing this I have it updating the software. Im sorry I dont remember exactly what iOS it was, i know it was 8. something. And this is an iPod 5 gen.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 another cable
- 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.

I have an older ipod...ever since I updated the itunes software my ipod no longer works in my car. my car is a 2013 mercedes E350. Is there a way to go back to an older version of the itunes software?

I have an older ipod...ever since I updated the itunes software my ipod no longer works in my car. my car is a 2013 mercedes E350. Is there a way to go back to an older version of the itunes software?

If it's an older iPod, its software is not being updated by Apple. So, I don't see how updating iTunes would make the iPod not work with the car's audio system, since iTunes just updates the song files (not how the iPod operates).
Does the iPod work by itself (play songs), when disconnected from the computer and iTunes?

What's wrong with my iPod's Cover Flow??

I have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen, 32Gb, and recently updated to IOS 5.
Since then, the iPod's cover flow feature is extremely slow, doesn't flow smoothly, and crashes after a few (15-20) seconds.
Today I noted something else: some album covers appear pixelated and blurry, even though HD. Those covers looked just fine until now.
As a side note, I have in use 30 of the 32 Gb (that's a lot of music, I know). Could this be related? I never had those problems before IOS 5, though.
What's wrong with my iPod?
Thanks for your help!

so as I see it people with this problem have 3 options
- Make all of your album art a maximum of 500X500 pixels
- Wait for an IOS update that fixes the problem
- Scrap ipods and buy another brand of music player
Using photoshop to do it with, it took me about an hour to resize, change, and resync all of my 1400 songs(86 albums)

My my ipod 5 is not detecting any voice no voice in videos and Siri is not detecting the voice even voice memos are the same whats wrong with my ipod?

IS something wrong with my ipod??

Hello Elsa
Check out the article below to troubleshoot issues with the microphone on your iPod touch. I know it says for iPhone, but the steps are the exact same.

Too many Things wrong with my iPOD to list

Okay, I have a 20 GB iPOD with a click wheel (black and white) that I got in 2004. here's the list of things that is wrong with my iPOD:
1. the battery drains much faster than it used to
2. when initially starting the iPOD, it looks like it's low in battery, then it 'magically' restores most of its battery power as shown in the image in the upper right hand screen. but if I play the iPOD for 30 minutes + it runs out of battery again
3. My AC adapter charger doesn't work
4. When I plug the iPOD into the USB as a way to charge it, it sometimes beeps a couple times (from the iPOD) and then shows an image of a blown up battery with about 20% of it filled, but the filling is not moving as if it is being charged.
5. the iPOD is now not being recognized by the PC or iTunes. It only notices that something's been plugged in via USB but it eventually pops up with a window that says the iPOD needs to be updated, even though I have all the updates. If I click on the 'update' button, it doesn't do anything.
6. The battery on the iPOD is now drained. If I turn it on via pressing the button or fooling with the 'hold' switch, it will turn on, and immediately turn off. If I plug it into the USB, it won't do anything at all, not even turn on.
I don't know if all of these problems are because of the battery or something else. Does anyone have an explanation? Thanks

I think there may others who will do the job for you or who will supply you with a battery so you can do it yourself. Google for them.
Are you sure that the cable linking the iPod to the USB port or the ac charger is OK? (it's a lot cheaper to replace than a battery).

What's wrong with my ipod touch 4g?

Hello, I am a student who is using MacBook Pro and iPod Touch 4G (32GB)
To jump to the topic, my liquid crystal of my iPod is broken. No, it's better to say, CRASHED.
I bought a new protecting film and case for my iPod, and i sticked and covered it.
Suddenly, the top left corner of my iPod just crashed. I was holding the player with my finger, and it just crashed.
So, what's wrong with my iPod? I'm pretty sure that it was not my fault. All I did was just holding the iPod with my two fingers and trying to fit the case.
Next, is there going to be any problem that will occur when I use this?
I am in China right now, and there are no Apple Store near the place I live. If I want to go, I have to drive there for 3-4 hours. I don't have that much time just fixing iPod. I am going back to Korea in July 2012. So, I'm thinking of just keeping my Pod in this condition until I go back to Korea. But, I'm not sure if there are going to be any problem while I am using this.
I hope the answer will come very quick, thank you.
p.s. I just started learning English, and my English is not that good...:p
p.s. 2 I bought my iPod last year April 2011.

Apple does not repair iPods, but will replace the entire iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair".
Note, though, that there is no liquid in an LCD that can leak. That's a myth.
Regards.

What's wrong with my iPod Touch 4?

Okay, so something's wrong with my iPod. I had other two issues, well, I still have, that led to this problem. My iPod wont turn sideways, even though the Portrait orientation isn't on, and an "Undo Typing" popup keeps appearing on my screen even though I'm not shaking the iPod.
It would be nice if I got help with that, too?
But, the main problem is this: While trying to fix those two problems, I "Reset All Settings" in hopes that it'll get fixed. Unfortunately, I just ended up with another problem. After I re-entered the password to the wifi, I went to Skype. I called my best friend, and after about a minute, the wifi left, causing the call to drop. After a few seconds of the call dropping, I decided to call back, thinking it was a one-time thing. Again, the wifi left and the call dropped. It's not only happening with Skype, either. It's happening with wifi-using apps, FaceTime, and Safari. The wifi leaves and comes back. Is there any way to fix this?

Not looking good. You may have a hardware problem
- Restore from backup. See:

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
