  • I can not navigate through my music directory/play songs on my 3rd gen iPod touch

    I recently picked up a 3rd generation iPod touch used. Before last night I had had no problems with its interface.
    The music library seems to have completely frozen up on me. I can select the music icon and it just brings me to the page of the last album I listened to. From there I can't go anywhere as the iPod is completely unresponsive to touch. The main menu and all of the other apps work fine, I'm just stuck on this one album screen in my music directory, unable to select any other songs. Suggestions?

    At any point can you get to Settings?
    You can try to reset settings but may end up having to restore.
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If you need to restore make sure you backup first.

  • Game is "incompatable" with 3rd gen ipod touch

    I've been trying to download Trenches II onto my 3rd gen ipod touch, but when I do it says that it's incompatable, the only problem is that I fufill all requirements (iOS 3.1 and 3rd gen ipod minimum)

    Please check the model number on the back. If it is A1288, it is a 2nd gen unit.

  • 3rd Gen Ipod touch. I want to start as new, not restore.

    I have a 3rd gen Ipod Touch that I want to delete everything and start as new, but it keeps wanted to restore.  The ipod touch was my sons, and I upgraded him to a 4.  I have an older ipod and I was hoping to upgrade to the touch, but it won't let me start new. Please help.  I have tried restoring, but it fails.  Is there a way to completely wipe it out so I can use it ??
    thanks.

    "I have a 3rd gen Ipod Touch that I want to delete everything and start as new"
    Yes.  That is called a restore.

  • Where can i find a list of games for a 3rd gen ipod touch

    i got a second hand 3rd gen ipod touch for my daughter for xmas. All the games on the ipod wont let us download as they say the ipod is not new enough. Has anyone got any suggestions.

    I suspect you really have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1. A 3G can go to 5.1.1
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

  • Why does itunes say i have the latest version 4.2.1 (8c148) for my 3rd gen iPod touch when it should be iOS 5?

    why does itunes say i have the latest version 4.2.1 (8c148) for my 3rd gen iPod touch when it should be iOS 5?

    Be sure it is really a 3rd gen. Some people with 2nd gens were told they were 3rd gens.  Identifying iPod models or Look up specs by Serial Number. If it is a 2nd gen, then you can't upgrade.
    IF IT REALLY IS A THIRD GEN iPod Touch, then you first need to upgrade to iTunes 10.5 in order to download iOS 5 because older versions of iTunes don't support and can't sync with iOS 5.

  • 3rd Gen Ipod touch 5.1.1 update grays out wifi

    After updating my 3rd Gen ipod touch, I can no longer use wifi. The wifi box is grayed out. I have reset the network connection settings, and have reset the ipod back to factory settings and still nothing. I see that this has happened to lots of iphone users but havent heard much about ipod touch. I wont even think about updating my iphone until a bug fix comes out. So far Apple is saying it is a hardware issue, but theres no way. No way thousands of people are having a hardware issue just after a software update. Can anyone help?
    Also now only about 20% of my songs will load on the ipod and the screen is frozen. Great

    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

  • I have a 3rd gen iPod touch that's acting up...Please help.

  • 3rd gen iPod touch 32GB won't upgrade to 4.3.3

    We have a 3rd gen iPod Touch 32GB that has OS 4.1 on it and when we plug it into the computer (MB Pro running Tiger with iTunes 9.2.1) it syncs the ipod just fine.  When we go to the iPod screen though it says there's an update 4.3.3 available but when you click update it says that iTunes 9.2.1 is the current version and doesn't update the iPod.  Anyone have any clue on how to fix this or what is going on?

    Apple says:
    Cannot be restored. This device is not eligible for the requested build: If you receive this error, you likely do not have the latest version of iTunes installed. Check http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ for the latest available version of iTunes. If you do have the latest version of iTunes, this can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new IPSW. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported.

    Hi ChristianHelpplz,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It seems like your iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes on your Mac, but your iPhone 6 is working normally.
    I recommend starting with these steps to troubleshoot your iPod touch and connection with your Mac:
    Check your USB connections
    Unplug other USB devices from your Mac and try again.
    Try a different USB port.
    Try a different USB cable.
    Restart your device
    Restart your iOS device or reset your iPod.
    Restart your Mac
    Turn your Mac off and back on.
    Update your software
    Check for software updates on your Mac.
    Check for an iTunes update.
    Check your security software
    If you have security software installed, learn how to resolve issues between iTunes and your security software.
    From:
    If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
    If you've tried these steps and your iPod touch is still not recognized, try placing it into Recovery Mode next:
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Sincerely,
    Jeremy
