There is no such thing as a 3rd generation 8gig ipod touch. You have a second gen.

We have an ipod touch, 3rd generation, 8GB. we lost the unlock code. we now try recovery via itunes, but can't connect to the ipod software update server. any suggestions?
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem -

I have an IPod Touch 3rd generation 8 gb, is there any way besides jailbreaking that I can get IOS 4.3.?
You do not have a 3rd gen 8Gb iPod Touch. There is no such thing - really, truely, double true, extra double protected true. {lllaass, back me up here}
Jailbreaking cannot be discussed on Apple forums., except to point you to the following article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743 which will let you know why Apple strongly cautions against "jailbreaking".
You could sell your current iPod and buy a new one, which will be able to use iOS 5.

I suppoose jailbreaking would be a GM! -

I have an iPod touch 3rd generation with IOS 4.2.1 and the newest version of iTunes. However, when I press "check for updates" it says that IOS 4.2.1 is the current version. How do I update?
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

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. -
I have an iPad mini 16g. It has started jumping through different pages of it's own accord, any ideas how to fix this please?
I recommend starting with a soft reset (pressing both home and power button until you see the apple then let go of the buttons) once you back on the home screen if you iPad still doing the same thing you may want to try a back up and restore

Hi everyone,
I have an Ipod touch 3rd generation. I tried recently to update its software and everything disappeared (the setting, my music etc) WHat can I do?
HLévesqueWithout knowing current status of the iPod:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have an iPod touch, 3rd generation, and when I push the button to put it to sleep, my iPod takes a screen shot. It's really annoying. Is this a result from updating to iOS 4.3.3? Also, my screen is EXTREMELY sensitive—breathe on it and it turns on.
- Are you also having problems with the Home button? Maybe it is sticking a little since to take a screen shot you depress the Home and Power/Sleep buttons at the same time.
- I have not seen your problem discussed here before.
- I would first try resetting the iPod:
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 would be to restore the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod. -

hi i have a ipod touch 4 generation 64gb and my camera is blocked and dose not work i cant update the ipod either
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Sounds like you actually have a 1st generation as those cannot update beyond iOS 3.1.3.

I have an iPod touch 2g running on iOS 4.2.1. Whenever I download an up like iBooks it says that I need to upgrade to 4.3.. But when I check on iTunes 11 it says that my iOS is the latest.. Ideas?
The 2G iPod can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1. If you want apps that require an iOS higher than 4.2.1 you need a newer model iPod.

I have an Ipod touch 4th generation 8gb and it comes on but does not go past the apple logo
I have an ipod touch 4th generation 8gb and it comes on but does not go past the apple logo. What do I need to do?
This problem happened to me a month ago. The way I used to fix it:
1. Go it DFU Mode. For going into that, check this page.
2. Connect your iPod to your PC which has iTunes and iTunes will detect your iPod in recovery mode.
3. Press Shift + Restore if you have the .ipsw firmware file downloaded on your windows PC or just click Restore and follow the instructions to download the firmware file.
4. Wait and finally you're done! -
