IPod Touch 3rd Generation/4th Generation Problems

Okay, i got a new iPod Touch 4th Generation yesterday and im having some troubles. (I also have a 3rd Generation)
My first problem is I bought a seperate (not apple) charger for my 3rd generation. its a black USB cord that connects from the iPod to a wall charger. It's been working perfectly and ever since i tired plugging it into my 4th generation, (i had a bit of trouble putting it in the 4th generation, i first thought that it was too small for it, but then with a little, maybe more, force it went it. And ever since i put it in the 4G its been having connection problems, its like connection thing (on the cord) got messed up, and when i go to pick up my iPod (either one) when it's plugged in, it's like it comes unplugged (but it will be in the iPod) if you move it around a certain way (i've learned not to wiggle it, because of the damages it causes) and it will do that (say its unplugged, when it's not) for a couple of times and then on iTunes it says "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error has occured (0xE8000001)" the thing that confuses me is that i DONT own/have an iPhone. so any help on that?
my second problem is that i was hoping to being able to transfer all my apps on my iPod(3rd G) to my new one (iPod 4G) and i am having trouble with that. It's like iTunes isn't putting the app data onto my library, when i plug in my iPod(3G) i'll press transfer purchased apps, and its like it didn't tranfer anything and when i go to my library on iTunes there will be a little "!" next to an app and if you double click on it then it says "The app '___(name)___' could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" and all the apps that it "cant locate" are STILL on my iPod, and some of the apps that it can't locate are some that i bought.
its a lot of stress that im going thru right now because of these problems, if you can help me out in ANY way possible, can you please do so? thank you very muchh!!!(:

Try getting the "BUMP" app from iTunes. I have it(but I haven't tried it yet.) Supposedly you can use it to transfer Apps "from your iPod to a friends iPod". This may help with the transferring of your apps.

What is the difference between the ipod touch 3rd and 4th generation

Do Ipod touch 3rd and 4th generations come with 16 GB

Hi,
I'm confused. We bought our daughter an Ipod Touch 4G for Christmas and the product listing said 16 GB. Now we are looking to puchase a used Ipod Touch 3G 16 GB for her little brother to play games and listen to music. However, in my research I'm finding that Apple does not list either of these generations (3rd OR 4th) as coming with 16 GB, only 32 GB or 64 GB. Can anyone clear this up for me as I see tons of 3G/16 GB listings on Ebay and I'm wondering if they are valid or are they actually 2G. I know there is a difference in model no. but what are the true differences? Also, will a 3G be sufficient for the game-playing or do most of the new games require a higher IOS than the 3G can run? (No matter how much $ we save by buying an earlier generation, it will be money wasted if it's not useful!!) Thanks.

Apple did not release a 16GB 3rd-generation iPod touch, only 32GB and 64GB models, so any such claims are in error. You can learn how to differentiate the different models, and see the capacities they come/came in, here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353
As to whether to purchase a 3rd-gen unit, I'd advise against it. It can't run the current version of iOS, iOS 6, and hence will see fewer and fewer apps available for it. Get at least a 4th-gen model.
Regards.

Why windows 8 does not recognize ipod touch model A1367 4th Generation?

Why window 8 does not recognize ipod touch model A1367 4th generation? and of course iTunes either.

See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
(it applies to win 8)
Run this to help if it identifies the cause

My iPod Touch 3rd Gen is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

My iPod Touch (3rd Gen) is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. It varies between not responding when I tap the screen and acting as if I double-tap or tap and hold when I tap. Every so often it freezes for a minute or so and then comes back. The scren is constantly changing sizes too such that I often can't see most of the top status bar or other edges. This makes typing almost impossible, ruins most games and generally makes everything difficult, but otherwise the iPod is working correctly. Powering off, shutting down apps, letting it sit have not worked. This has happened once before months ago, but the issue resolved itself somehow. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

Try this for the freezing

Or if they don't work put it into recovery mode

FaceTime: I have just bought an ipod touch 32 gb (4th generation); however, the facetime icon does not appear in my screen or settings, there is no simcard so it has nothing to do with the carrier. Any suggestions?

IPod touch 4th generation..Facetime.

Well yes your close. I got it from Egypt and i am in Egypt now, but vodafone (one of our carriers ) has implemented the use of facetime to its customers here. I guessed the same in the begninig but even if it didnt, since im not using a simcard is that supposed to matter anyways?
It is no where to be found on my ipod, i searched. Also it is not being restricted or anything.
And anyways im goin to the UK next month and staying for a while, would the icon automatically appear, since it comes pre-installed im guessing i wont be able to install it from a unrestricted country (if this was the case) since it is not installed on my ipod in the first place.
Thank you,
Sorry for the inconvenience, but this could be quiet confusing.

Is it possible to trade a 2nd Generation iPod Touch for a 4th Generation iPod Touch?

My younger sister has a 4th generation with a camera. Is it possible to trade a 2nd generation for a 4th generation at...say Walmart or Target?

I don't think so - the 4G is newer and the prices have changed. You can always try, but i don't think you will get a brand new iPod... If they gave away iPods like that, they wouldn't make business...

Frequent iPod touch crashed on 4th generation iPod touch

I've tried searching the forum and couldn't find anybody else who is having this problem, but I thought I would throw out the question, just in case.
Usually an app will start, and then crash after running for several seconds. This happens with Apple apps (like safari, settings, photo, etc.) as well as apps purchased from the app store.
The first thing I do is close the programs running in the background and try to run the app again. This has almost never stopped the crashing.
The next thing I usually do I is restart the iPod. This also does not seem to help.
I have also tried syncing the iPod, and restoring it to factory settings in iTunes. This has also not helped.
I am really at a loss of how to fix the issue. Recently the iPod has not just been crashing to the home screen, but also crashes to the boot screen where only the apple logo is displayed for (what seems like) several minutes.
I have the most recent iPod OS installed and the most recent version of iTunes.
Any suggestions?
tl;dr - My iPod touch is crashing, and none of the basic fixes seem to be working.

+1. I'm so annoyed with it. It happens on both apps that came standard and apps that I've downloaded. It happens on apps that require the internet and apps that work standalone. I've restarted, restored, called apple care and nothing has helped. I have lost apps that I've bought in all of this mess. It has to be a software issue. I hope they issue a software update soon.

I have an ipod touch, not the 4th generation, I tried getting the latest update on i which was the 6ios and i accidently interrupted it and now it wont turn on and every time i reset it it just blinks random colors and lines and patterns?

Please help, Ive tried resetting my ipod and plugging it in to itunes and nothing is responding. The scrren is white then it turns to blue and all these diffrent patterns. I dont know what else to do???

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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Why can't i turn on my iPod touch 16 GB 4th generation?

Hi, i've had my iPod for 6 months now and it's been working fine but then today Nov 11th, i was just done updating a game and i went back on the apps store and i felt a electric shock and my iPod sloowly turned white. I reset it by pressing the home button and he power button at the same time and then it went black. The iPod was really hot, so i left it untouched so it could cool down. Now that it's cool down, it WILL NOT turn back on!!! I am upset and i've tried everything including connecting it to the computer and charging it. I know my battery was Full before it blacked out on me, so what is the problem and how can i fix it?

How much does it cost to get a new iPod touch (I think 4th generation) screen?

Today I was working at a daycamp and someone walked into me when I was checking the time and I dropped my iPod touch face down on the pavement covered in sand. It's completely smashed on the screen, but the rest works fine. How much would a new screen cost?

My iTunes says my iPod touch 3rd Gen is up to date with iOs 4.2.1, how do I get the new iOs 5?

My iTunes says my iPod touch 3rd Gen is up to date with iOs 4.2.1, how do I get the new iOs 5?

You must update your iTunes software to 10.5 first then you can upgrade to iOS 5.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
According to Apple the iPod touch 3rd gen can update to iOS 5.
"iCloud requires iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2; a Mac computer with OS X Lion; or a PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 (Outlook 2007 or 2010 or an up-to-date browser is required for accessing email, contacts, and calendars). Some features require a Wi-Fi connection. Some features are not available in all countries. Access to some services is limited to 10 devices."

My iPod Touch 32 GB 4th Genereation is stolen. I didnt not remember to turn on the Find My IPhone App in my Settings. Is there anyway that I can track down my Ipod Touch by using the serial number on the casing or anyother solutions?

My IPod Touch 32 GB 4th generation was stolen. I didnt put the Find My IPhone to enabled. Is there an solutions of how i can track my IPod down? Please help?

i can probably answer this part for you. in our bills and laws the privacy act was added. this made it so information among other things cannot be attained without a warrent or permission of the person being "searched or in this case located". if apple were to merely locate the ipod without the proper paperwork and authorities involved they could face serious fines aswell as jail time. so even though your ipod was stolen by someone else it is now in their possesion and therefor you cannot turn a feature on to locate it without that persons permission. however the way the "find my ipod app" works is it is designed to locate the ipod alone. this is why it can be activated by the owner with their permission. you can get the police involved however without knowing who stole it the warrent cannot be obtained. im sorry but i hope this helped you understand this isnt apples fault but laws are laws.

Ipod Touch 4th Generation will Sync but Ipod Touch 3rd Wont

i dont know why. but My Ipod touch 3rd generation wont be detected by any of my computers. While my ipod 4th generation has no problems. i already tried resetting my ipod 3rd gen alot of times. still no luck. anyone know what to do

If I go from 'Devices' to Summary and then Music, I only get one option-Sync Music,There is a box on this page but the options within it are grayed out. If I tick the Sync Music option I get this message-
'Are you sure you want to remove existing music,films,ect, from this ipod and sync with this itunes library?
'Music synced to (my ipods name) from other itunes libraries will be removed and items will be synced from this itunes library' I have only ever used itunes on this PC and the 'Manually manage music and videos' is ticked but
that must be a default setting as I haven't ticked it.
