I have a Macpro Book and I just downloaded new software to my ipod touch(3rd gen). Now itunes does not recognize it nor will it turn on. I believe it just downloaded but did not update the software. What do I do?

I have a Macpro Book and I just downloaded new software to my ipod touch(3rd gen). Now it does not show up in itunes nor does it turn on. I believe it just downloaded the software and never updated it. What do I do?

You appear to have a second generation iPod touch, not a third, and those can't be updated past 4.2.1. Apple sold 8GB second generation models at the same time as the third generation ones.

Itunes says that the version of software on my ipod touch 3rd gen is up to date, but IOS 5 is avaliable. I have checked for software updates for days but it keeps saying that 4.2.1 is the current version. Why cant i get IOS 5?

because you do not have a 3rd generation device. The OS Version says so , otherwise you would be at 4.3.5 minimum and also Itunes is also always correct in determining if you have the latest OS ( if not it fetches the newest from Apple's Servers ) . And because a 2nd generation iPod stops at 4.2.1 you can't get the newest OS, because your device is old. Buy a new iPod , they have iOS5 preinstalled.

You buy one and only one download.
As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

Can't update my iPod Touch 3rd Gen by iTunes

I have dowloaded the last version of iTunes and I've iOS 4.2.1 on my iPod, but iTunes says it's the current version.
I know the last one is 4.3.3.
I'm using Windows XP.
Someone can help?
Thanks.

You have a 2G iPod. Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods. When the 3G iPods were introduced, the 8GB 2G iPods were continued to be sold with the same updated iOS as the 3G ipods. It is a common error to think that users purchased a 8GB 3G ipod. Sorry.

Hi IIIaass,
Not. My iPod is a 3rd Gen 8GB. I have updated it until the 4.2.1, but my old iTunes (10.2.XXX) always said it was the current version of the iPod.
Now my brother has bought a 4th Gen iPod Touch and he has the 4.3.3. I have downloaded the last iTunes today (10.3.1.55) and it says the same.
I'm trying to restore it right now to see if that change.

It would appear that your iPod is a 2nd Gen... If so the highest iOS you can go to is 4.2.1

I have had an iPod Touch 3rd Gen for two years and the apps have worked fine in the past. Suddenly the apps will not launch, they appear to start then just exit. Is there a reason why it is doing this?

I have had an iPod Touch 3rd Gen for two years pretty much and the apps have worked fine. Suddenly when I go on an app it appears to launch then just exits. I tried turning the iPod off and on again, but that made all my apps behave like that. Settings and those things work fine still. Should this suddenly happen? I dont want to lose all 204 apps.

- First try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try downloading/installing a new app
- Restore from backup
- Last, resore to factory defaults/new iPod. this is last result since you will lose app data.

I do not understand what "it says in the windows connect to itunes" means?
What is "it" and what is "windows"?
Maybe:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

I downloaded a recommended update and since then my ipod touch (3rd gen) is frozen and wont turn on (1604 error)

I downloaded a recommended update and since then my ipod touch (3rd gen) is frozen and will not turn on. I try restoring factory settings but the process terminates with a 1604 error. I have researched this problem on the net and think i have tried everything, but still no joy. I have tried removing all apple and itunes software and reinstalling, updating the apple drivers - nothing has worked. I am using itunes 10.3 on my pc, windows xp.
If anyone can help me i would be extremely grateful - I am off on holiday on thursday and would love to have my ipod with me!
Many thanks in advance.
Craig.

Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for error 1604.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

HT201210 I can't sync or update the software on my iPod Touch 5 gen

Every time I try to either sync or update the software on my new iPod Touch 5th Gen it won't work because it says there is not enough space on my computer to save a backup but the thing is that there is more than enough space. I never had this problem with my previous iPod Touch 3rd Gen. Please help.

I have about 10+gb on my hard drive but another problem I have is that whenever I drag anything into the trash it gets deleted automatically and can't be restored. I was thinking this might be affecting the space on my hard drive perhaps?

What is the latest software for ipod touch 3rd gen

While I have not used these devices often I'm not sure where to find this info. Colud sombody please let me know what the latest software version is for the ipod touch 3rd gen (3)2

iOS 5.1.1
.Are you sure you really have a 3G iPod?
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.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPod_touch_late2009
A 2G can only go to iOS 4.2.1

I have this iPod touch 3rd gen (without camera, right?).. What is its updated ios?

I have this iPod touch 3rd gen (without camera, right?).. What is its updated ios?

Then you most likely have a 2nd generation. To confirm, check the model number on the back. if it is A1288, it is a 2nd gen and can not be upgraded beyond 4.2.1.

I have a Macpro Book and I just downloaded new software to my ipod touch(3rd gen). Now itunes does not recognize it nor will it turn on. I believe it just downloaded but did not update the software. What do I do?
