3rd gen iPod touch need to save photos

I've added the iPod to my new macbook pro iTunes - but I cannot find the photos off of my iPod.  Should I sync the photos to my iPhoto?  I need to apply the update to the iPod but I need to be sure I do not loose the 5000 photos I have on it before I update the software.  Please help.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • I just bought a 3rd gen Ipod touch.

    I just bought a 3rd gen Ipod touch and while plugged in shows the apple icone and the loading circle but does not load what do i do? I have also tried resetting it and it doesn't work

    You need to get iTunes to see the iPod.  If it does then see if it automatically ask questions/gives messages of what do do.  If it is seen but no instryction restore the iPod via iTunes on the computer.
    - Try resetting the iPod:
    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.
    - Place the iPod in recovery mode. See:
    - Place it in DFU mode:
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - See if this can place it in recovery mode:

  • Why does itunes say i have the latest version 4.2.1 (8c148) for my 3rd gen iPod touch when it should be iOS 5?

    why does itunes say i have the latest version 4.2.1 (8c148) for my 3rd gen iPod touch when it should be iOS 5?

    Be sure it is really a 3rd gen. Some people with 2nd gens were told they were 3rd gens.  Identifying iPod models or Look up specs by Serial Number. If it is a 2nd gen, then you can't upgrade.
    IF IT REALLY IS A THIRD GEN iPod Touch, then you first need to upgrade to iTunes 10.5 in order to download iOS 5 because older versions of iTunes don't support and can't sync with 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

  • Nothing is working on my 3rd gen ipod touch but the home button. It's not sliding or anything. I've tried resetting and restoring it. Did not work

    Nothing is working on my 3rd gen ipod touch but the home button. It's not sliding or anything. I've tried resetting and restoring it. Did not work

    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 another cable                                                       
    - 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • MMX won't work on 3rd gen ipod touch

    I just bought Mega Man X from i-tunes. I synced my 8gb 3rd gen ipod touch and get a messge on itunes saying my phone software is not compatible. I amusing 4.2.1 which is the newest version for my ipod touch and it says compatible with ipod touch 3rd gen on the side of the app store.

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