Jan 31, 2016 4:58 PM in response to brufby Kenichi Watanabe,There is a way to connect a 3rd gen iPod to USB, if you can find a special cable that Apple previously sold. It looks like this
and this seems to be a third-party version of it

It has a dock connector that splits off into both a USB connector and FireWire connector. Connect the FireWire connector to your FireWire power adapter (that came with the iPod). Connect the USB connector to the Mac. Connect iPod to dock connector. FireWire supplies the power (to charge battery and operate iPod while connected). Concurrently, the iPod connects to Mac for data using USB.
