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.

  • Updating iTunes to 11.0.4, Will my 3rd gen iPod touch work fine on it with version 4.3.1

    Well I received a free iPhone 4 but to use it with my iTunes I need to update iTunes to 11.0.4.  Was just wondering if I would have any problems using my 3rd gen iPod touch with 4.3.1 on the newest iTunes.  Thanks in advance.

    You should have no problems.

  • When i try to update software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    When i try to update the software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    The later iOSs requires at least OSX 10.5.8 for the Mac.  You need iTunes 10.5 but 10.4.11 only goes to 9.x.. 10.5.8 is a paid upgrade.
    Are you sure that you have a 3G iPod?  If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1 (also requires 10.5.8 or later). A 32 GB can be either  2G or 3G. To identify yours:

  • Need help updating a 3rd Gen iPod Touch....

    I have a 3rd Gen iPod Touch running iOS4.1. I have an iMac G5 running OSX10.4.11. The iTunes version is 9.2.1. When I connect my iPod to my iMac and click 'Update' in iTunes it simply states 'You have the latest version of iTunes 9.2.1'. How can I update my iPod?
    Thanks in advance.

    You need to update the OSX on your computer. Going higher that 4.1 requires iTunes 10 or higher. iTunes 10 requires OSX 10.5.8 or higher.

  • HT5457 why dont you update the 3rd gen ipod touch to iOS 6?

    I have a 3rd gen ipod touch and don't have the money to get a newer ipod so why cant you make iOS 6 available for 3rd gen ipod touches?

    1) You are not talking to Apple here.  We are users just like you.
    2) The 3rd gen iPod does not have the hardware to be able to use iOS 6
    3) As of now, almost all available apps will also run on iOS 5.

    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

  • I have a 3rd gen iPod touch and I downloaded the most recent itunes, ever since I did, only the first song syncs to the ipod. As soon as it gets to the second, it xtill says its syncing. However, nothing happens. How do I fix this?

    I have a 3rd gen iPod touch and I downloaded the most recent itunes, ever since I did, only the first song syncs to the ipod. As soon as it gets to the second, it still says its syncing. However, nothing happens. How do I fix this? I have restored and updated the ipod. I have the new iTunes. I have restarted my computer checked the connection and everything.

    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.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - 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.

  • 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.
