3rd gen ipod touch faulty screen??

i have a 32gb ipod touch that i bought on the 10th of this month. i got GTA: chinatown wars for it but for some reason my punch/use gun button (on the right side) doesn't work. i've found that if i flip my ipod to it's other side the punch/use gun button works but then i have problems with my character movement button not working correctly. i've noticed not being able to click items in other games i have as well (on the right side) unless i flip my ipod around but then i have the same movement problems as before. do you think its a Faulty screen? i've never dropped my ipod and it still looks brand new 0 scratches.

Welcome to the discussions,
did you try the suggestions in this article about troubleshooting touch screen response? http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1827
Tip: If you are going to take your device into a Apple Retail Store for evaluation, follow these steps to help the Mac Genius understand where your Multi-Touch display is experiencing unresponsiveness.
Open the basic calculator application to test all but the top row of the screen. Press each button on the calculator and verify activity.
To test the area at the top of the screen, rotate the device to change to the scientific calculator and press all the buttons in the left two rows.

Grayed Out Apps Screens in iTunes 3rd Gen iPod Touch Apps Screen

I have downloanloaded at least 200 apps t my iPod Touch. Been playing them for 18 months now. Never had issues.
The situation is, the iTunes display window, when I have my iTouch selected, (after it's plugged in to my Mac and shows up in the left hand column), and I have the "Apps" selected, will shows 2 columns. The left column that shows your apps you have in the iTunes Library on your Mac; and the right hand column that shows the multiple page displays of the windows which simulate what you should see on your actual iPod Touch display when you scroll through all your pages. After you "Sync" these should be identical if you have all the apps in the left window "checked" and you have "checked" the box just underneath the left hand column that states "Automatically sync new apps".
The problem is I have apps downloaded which are displayed in my left column which are the apps in my Mac iTunes Library, many of those apps are displayed on the iPod Touch right side in a grayed out page display. 3 Pages and a fourth blank grey screen. Everything has been synced. Te grayed out screens that are in the right column in the iTunes window, (which should be the ones on my actual iTouch), are not on my actual iTouch.
I have even manuaaly dragged one of the grated out apps again to the blank grayed out screen (right column), re-synced, just to see if it shows up on my actual iTouch. No go.
I'm not sure how long I haven't noticed this problem, but I do know a year ago, it never did this.
Is this coincidance that I am also having the slow down issues that a few people have posted concerning the new iOS 5 for the 3rd Gen iTouches.
Not sure. Didn't pay attention enough to the time frames.
Any one have a suggestion(s) as to a solution, besides the obvious "Restore" in iTunes. Did it already.
By the way. When I first open iTunes and these 2 columns are displayed, there are not any grayed out display pages in the right column. Only after I "Sync"
Thanks

Retina display is only supported on 4th gen. The cheaper the screen is, the better the chance you have of getting ripped off. The safest way is to have Apple replace the iPod.

3rd gen iPod touch. I just get a blank screen (after a few secs of the apple symbol) when it is switched on or when connected for charging. I know the connections are OK. Suggestions/help please

I took the iPod to the local Apple shop. The guy put the iPod onto a docking station and checked it - answer "connections are OK". I have used the link before but have not gone through all its suggestions (although picked on the most relevant ones). I may have to go back. Thanks again for your suggestions

3rd gen iPod touch lock button issues

Recently my 3rd gen iPod touch started giving me problems with the lock button. If I press the lock button the screen will turn on and off rapidly and then the power off screen will come up. It will just keep doing this over and over; I've tried to restore it but no luck there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like the switch needs to be replaced. You might try this until you get it serviced.

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

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.

- Have you tried a reset to see if that will make iTunesee the iPod?
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try recovery mode. For that see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Then DFU mode:

- If somethng always shows on the screen, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the above again.

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.

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
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

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

IBooks on iOS4 3rd gen iPod touch 64GB - crash causing reset

I'm not sure if others have experienced the problem but I've been using iBooks and I'm finding that the device randomly resets while in use.
The problem is not connected to a particular ebook or PDF, it seems to happen randomly - even a couple of times while browsing the bookshelf. I have approximately 300 books and PDFs installed.

Finally decided to disable the wifi on my Cisco router & that seems to have fixed the problem. Must have been a conflict.

3rd-Gen Ipod Touch Overheating All the Time!

I have a 3rd-Gen Ipod Touch, 32gb that I bought over a year ago. I've never had a problem with it before until about two weeks ago and it's concerning me quite a bit. Whenever I use it, within 5 minutes it becomes very hot, mostly on the bottom near where it charges. Within 10 minutes, the heat has spread throughout the whole device and has become so hot that I can no longer hold it. This happens all the time, not when it's charging. I'm worried that it will overheat to the point that I can no longer use it.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way that I can fix this? Do I have to have the battery replaced or something?
I appreciate any feedback, and thanks.

Sounds like a bad battery. Search ebay, there are people who provide the replacement service for as low as $19.

Why won't iTunes 11.0.1 sync my Podcasts to my 3rd Gen iPod Touch on IOS 6.0.1?

Why won't iTunes 11.0.1 sync my Podcasts to my 3rd Gen iPod Touch on IOS 6.0.1? I'm running iTunes on my MacBook with Mac OSX 10.6.8. I've checked to make sure in iTunes that the Podcast Sync box is checked and it is. I've tried checking communities and tried several suggestions and nothing seems to work for me. Everything else syncs except Podcasts. I can't figure it out. Any suggestions to get Podcasts syncing to my iPod Touch again? Thanks!

One other step I've tried was removing and completely reinstalling the playlist to the iPod. That cleared up the problem for about two days.

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.

MMX won't work on 3rd gen ipod touch

You do not have a 3rd gen ipod. Apple did not make a 3rd gen ipod touch in 8GB.
Sorry
