My ipod touch(3rd gen) will NOT update due to "The ipod software update server could not be contacted" Please help

I have quite literally tried everything. My ipod touch just will not update.
My internet connection is more than fine, my ipod functions as it should, and I can connect to the itunes store.
It will not, however, connect to the update server.
I have spent around 2 hours tonight troubleshooting and i still have nothing.
Please help.

In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server

    I've gotten the iPod to sync after restoring it and not changing ANY of the music sync settings.  I didn't even click "sync music", I just have it on manual and clicked autofill. 
    After it synced all of the music successfully, I tried to sync a playlist (my recently added), and it's gone bonkers again, it won't sync the playlist's music, or any new music now.

    Make sure you have some free space and if you do then buy a new syncing cable

  • My ipod touch 3rd gen will not update to 4.3. It says it is the current version

    when i try to update my ipod touch 3rd gen to 4.3 on itunes it says "your ipod is up to date" and "this is the currnet version".  But when i try to buy certain apps it says "you must have version 4.3 to download this app" what do i do? i have 4.2 and i have even clicked the "check for update" button and waited for the automatic update check but it always says its the current version even though its not! please help me!

    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.

  • Ipod touch 3rd gen game app accidentally deleted and can't recover game to status before deletion...Help!!!!

    I've got an ipod touch 3rd gen and accidentally deleted an app but now after resyncing it i've lost all the data and the app goes back to default. Is there a way to restore the app including all the previous data. I was at level 34 and now back to level 1

    Sadly it seems the settings to sync everytime i connect has overwritten the backup because I only just checked it not to sync automatically . I'm new to using apple as I'm a true and true windows geek and thought it should at least keep 3 sets of backups...boy am I wrong . That's months of work on a game app gone .

  • My Ipod Touch 3rd Gen will not update

    I have a 3rd Gen Ipod Touch, and it states on the website that this supported to update to iOS 4.3
    However, when I try to update, I get the same error message.
    "This version of the Ipod software (4.2.1) is the current version"
    anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
    I have the latest version of Itunes, I have tried 2 different cables, also I have restored my Ipod back to factory settings,
    There is nothing else that I can think of doing, as there is no update anywhere for me to manually download, and it's getting rather annoying to say the least.
    Thanks

    Look on the back of your iPod Touch itself for any of these numbers.
    iPod Touch 1st generation - A1213
    iPod Touch 2nd generation - A1288
    iPod Touch 3rd generation - A1318

    You probably have the 2nd generation iPod Touch which is an 8GB model.
    The 2nd generation 8GB iPod Touch was last offered in August of 2010.. I bought one in August of 2010 and the following month Apple came out with the 4th generation. There never was a 3rd generation 8GB iPod Touch.

  • Ipod touch 3rd gen will not turn on

    Hi
    Updated my Ipod touch 3rd generation and now it will not turn on. I have restored it in itunes and updated it with the latest software but still nothing.
    The Ipod however is seen within Itunes.
    Any help would be greatly received.
    Regards

    - Try here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - When you restore does the appear that the iPod successfully goes through all the stages of restore?
    If yes, try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then restore.
    Next try DFU Mode

    - Then try a different computer
    - Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • IPod Touch 3rd Gen will not sync or charge

    Hello all,
    I'm using a 3rd gen ipod touch, but when I attempt to charge or sync this device the ipod refuses to respond. I've upgraded itunes to the latest version, and I've also ensured I'm using a working USB 2.0 port. When the iPod is detected, I can go to device manager I see that the device is plugged in. Despite all of this, the ipod doesn't appear in itunes and is never charged.
    What gives?

    I've gotten the iPod to sync after restoring it and not changing ANY of the music sync settings.  I didn't even click "sync music", I just have it on manual and clicked autofill. 
    After it synced all of the music successfully, I tried to sync a playlist (my recently added), and it's gone bonkers again, it won't sync the playlist's music, or any new music now. 

  • Help: my ipod touch (3rd Gen) will not come on

    I earlier tred to start to sync my iPod. But, I didn't complete the start of the process & I don't believed that the Ipod was identified by the iTunes site. Since then, my iPod will not come on. I have tried to charge it up via a mains charge.  Neither top or bottom will start.
    I know that there is no oproblem with my itunes site, as another iPod has been sync'd later, with no problems.
    Any help any one.

    - Try resetting you iPod if you have not yet already and see if it works or appears in iTunes. If it works you are done if does not work and appears in iTunes then restore the Pod.
    - If it doe not appear in iTunes see if the following makes it appear in iTunes.  If it does thn restore it.
    - Place in recovery mode.  See:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Place in DFU mode:
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - See if this program will place it in recovery mode and be seen by iTunes.

  • My ipod touch 3rd gen. will not convert to widescreen on rotating the ipod since downloading os5. I restored in itunes but that didn't help.

    The problem started after updating the software to os5. I tried restoring in itunes but that didn't help. Is os5 or one of my apps causing the problem? Can I convert back to the previous operating system?

    Check the orientation lock. Open the multitask bar, swipe from left to right. Next to the ipod controls is the icon for orientation lock, tap on it to unlock your screen again.

  • My iPod touch 3rd gen will not sync songs.

    There is no error message, just whited out songs.  The files are not corrupt on my computer (running windows 7x64).  Everything seems to run smooth on iTunes, except for the ipod.
    It just says it's done syncing and then there's none of the new songs, just whited out songs as if they were corrupt or something.  I've reset the thing, I've reinstalled itunes, I've been trying to solve this for a year.

  • HT4623 My iPod touch (4th gen) won't seem to get the iOS 7 update on its own. I've been updating it wirelessly for a while now but when I go through the settings to "software update", it searches but says "iOS 6.1.3, your software is up to date". HELP/Why

    My 4th gen iPod touch says iOS 6.1.3 is the latest version of software. I've been updating it wirelessly for a while so I know that isn't the problem & I know I'm connected to the Internet; I typed & submitted it on my iPod. Please help/explain why it's doing this!
    Also, my App Store also says I have an update but I don't. All my apps are up to date when I try to update... Why is that?

    That iPod touch model doesn't have enough RAM to run iOS 7.

  • When i plug my ipod touch (4th gen) into my car usb port the ipod goes into repeat mode

    Why is it that when I plug my ipod touch into the USB port of my Peugeot 508SW that the device goes into repeat mode and the same song is played continuosly?

    Hi lllaass
    The car handbook certainly states that Ipods can be connected although it doesn't specifically mention which operating systems are supported.  The car system is recognising the ipod and playing one tune continuously but you cannot switch it to a different song.

  • IPod touch 3rd Gen. will not show up iTunes or My Computer

    I have reinstalled iTunes, I have tried recovory mode, I have the latest model, I've tried using other USB ports, I've done just about anything I can. I have had this iPod for like 3 years and have never had an issue. Now all the sudden it will not connect to the computer or show up in itunes. It does charge in a wall charger though. How do i fix this?

    Hi
    I have posted just recently with a similar problem [although I suspect you are using Windows rather than OSX by your reference to device manager].
    In my post I asked if iTunes 10 supports the 2nd gen nano as I am starting to suspect that it doesn't. Have you recently upgraded to 10?
