iPod 3rd gen iCloud photos wont load

I found one of my very old apple device- a 3rd gen iPod-64gb. I managed to sign in to iCloud, set up email, browse the internet etc. However, I cannot get iCloud to upload photos to my iPod-earlier it used to upload all photos. please note, I have enabled I cloud photos and tried all trouble shoot including a hard reset. also, I cannot get access to my notes that are stored in iCloud.


Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi khajotia,


Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you're having an issue wit iCloud features on your iPod 3rd generation, correct? If so, we would love to help!

I have a fourth gen iPod touch and my notes and photos also do not load. I think the iCloud services that are shown as available are actually incompatible with your device. I have the same problem; when I click to turn on on iCloud photos the switch immediately turns back off. Any iCloud notes may appear in an email folder in the photos app. Since the iPod is out of date it probably just doesn’t have the capacity for the services.


I hope this was helpful!
