iPod nano 3rd gen says 0 kB available

Hello, rhys168!

After reviewing your post, it seems like you are having some issues with restoring your iPod nano. We definitely understand that  can be a concern and we'd love to help. Let’s start by reviewing this article: If your iPod won't turn on or seems frozen. The steps at the bottom explain how to put your iPod in Disk Mode before restoring.

Please let us know if you have follow-up questions, or if the issue remains unresolved. Have a great day!

Got it, thanks rhys168. It is possible that there is a hardware issue affecting this iPod nano's ability to restore itself. We'd suggest testing with another cable and computer, if that is possible. If the issue persists, we recommend that you contact Apple Support directly. Depending on your region, you may be able to reach them here: Get Support.

Cheers.

Hi, rhys168. To confirm, were you unable to put your iPod into Target Disk Mode? Can you let us know a bit more about what happened, so we can best assist you? If your computer isn't recognizing your device, testing with another cable, USB port or computer may be helpful, if that is possible.

Cheers!

Thanks for the explanation on that. Do you get an error message or any type of explanation as to the restore failure? What specifically happens? Can you walk us through what you see when you choose to restore the iPod in iTunes?

We'll be waiting to hear back from you! Have a good day.
