3rd Generation iPod - Connection and Skipping/Freezing Probs
Over the last few months I've been having more and more problems. The first was the battery life on the iPod seemed dramatically reduced, whereas a fully charged iPod used to be able to be left in standby over night and still have charge in the morning it now doesn't. The next was connecting my iPod to the PC to only have it give me a Blue Screen of Death, with errors such as pagefault_in_nonpagedarea and mmpoolcorrupteddriver. I went online and checked out many articles in the Apple Knowledge Base and on other Mac Sites. I tried resetting my iPod and putting into disk mode, neither of which work.I also tried reinstalling iTunes 4.9 and using 5.0. I've tried it on another computer which crashed it too. More recently I've also been experiencing my iPod freezing and continuing step the progress bar on screen but no sound is produced. I wasn't initially a fan of Apple however the iPod caused me to change my mind. I thought it would be simple enough to talk to a support center however it was going to cost me £35 to just talk to someone. Can anyone help me or is my iPod just broken? I love the design and I am probably going to buy another one if this is broken.
Note: The HDD also "clicks" and "whirrs" a lot more than usual when playing music
Thanks in advance,
Lewis

This is reasonably normal. As iPod's get older, the battery life decreases.

This is a Windows issue only. The iPod is just a hard drive as far as the computer is concerned. It can't cause a blue screen without something being wrong with the computer itself. The "corrupted driver" is a bit of a giveaway too. Reinstalling Windows is probably the only option to fix this sort of thing.
More recently I've also been experiencing my iPod freezing and continuing step the progress bar on screen but no sound is produced.
Now this is more along the lines of a busted iPod. Might look into replacing it or getting it repaired by Apple.

I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list. I've confirmed the mac address is included on that list and that the password is correct. Under choses netwrok I select the network and it just goes into a spin. I have tried removing the password and the access list settings and it still will not complete the connection to the router thus no internet access. The routers firmware is also up to date. This thing worked fine before this update and I've already tried to restore from backup. Any ideas or is the wifi nic bad in this thing with the new apple firmware update? Any fix?
Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

3rd Generation ipod touch and instagram
I have a 3rd generation ipod touch and I was wondering how do I go about adding pictures to instagram since it doesn't have a camera. Is there a good camera app I can download?
You have to import the photos such as by syncing them from your computer or saving them from an email attachment. Import from DropBox may also work.
I really do not understand what you mean by a camera app sine the 3G does not have a camera. -
I just purchased a used 3rd generation Ipod Touch and the latest software is iOS 4.2.1 and I have been trying to download apps (Facebook, Words w/Friends, etc.), but they all say I need to have iOS 5. Help!
Here are some tools to search for compatible apps (The first one is my recommendation).
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
I personally havent looked for any clones of Words With Friends, but I bet you can find something.
Here are a couple apps which say they are compatible with Facebook:
Chatnow for Facebook
Friends Planet 2

Apple says ios 5 works with the 3rd generation ipod but the highest os i have is 4.2.1?!?!?! help!
If 4.2.1 is the latest version, then you have a 2nd gen iPod, not 3rd.

Why can't I sync my ipod? and where is the newest sync button? there is no more file and sync button anymore.
Are you sure you have a 2G iPod? See:
Identifying iPod models
A 2G can go to iOS 4.2.1 via iTunes directly if you have iTunes 10.X on your computer.
A 1G can go to 2.2 via iTunes amd 3.1.3 via the link proved already in this discussion.
Error 1 or -1
This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

3rd generation iPod Touch and Video Out - "whoops!!!"
Before I jump to any conclusions about Apple, here is my experience with the Video out operation of my brand new 3rd generation 64 GB iPod Touch. This is my third iPod and about a year ago I decided (at great personal expense) to purchase the Apple Composite AV Cable (despite the fact that you can buy copies of the cable on eBay for 1/10th the price). When I plugged this cable into my new iPod touch, the Video Out option was greyed out. I tried lots of different things but eventually gave up and went to the Apple Store to see what it said about compatability. Sure enough, the 3rd Generation Touch is the ONLY iPod, iPhone etc not mentioned. I call my friendly apple support person who says "*of course it will work, I am 100% sure*". I then jokingly asked if he would give me $1000 if he was wrong and begrudgingly he put me on hold "just to check". 15 minutes later (unusual for Apple) he came back to me saying that *I "might" be right but he was 100% sure that if I connected my cable via a Universal Dock it would work.*
Now, before I go out and spend any more money on a Universal Dock, has anybody tried this? Why would apple make the change ONLY to the 3rd Gen iPod touch?
I have noticed that there is one nasty non-apple cable on the market that claims it will work BUT it doesn't have the ability to charge...... besides I ONLY buy legit Apple products.
Any comments?Wow Apple pulled tha last post almost as quick as it was written.
I have been in the IT industry for 18 years, when I started out I read the Mac bible and got a job supporting 1000 macs (remember the wonderful days of the symbol of the little bomb and all you could do is re-install the OS - what a joke). We ditched the Mac due to limited application support (nothing has changed much has it). I did not look at another apple product for 15 years, got a Touch for free ( CC points) Firmware 2.2, loved the little bugger, had a whole new respect for Apple. Happily got 2 cables from eBay for $5.00 for both, video to the tv, charging, audio, best of all worlds. Then, I upgrade to version 3.01 for $5.00, what a deal, copy paste, etc. till I plug in my cables and nothing works anymore. Take it to the car for my FM receiver,. only mono now. Oh sorry you now have to dish out $50.00 for our cables (the /B version not the /A cause we even screwed our customers that bought our own cables) and oh ya you can only buy over priced FM receiver products that pay bloated license fees to Apple. Then we come to your story, you buy "Only Apple products" which do not work (check for the /A model of the cable, you need the /B (/B= Buy again?? Maybe) and then the support guy tells your to go out and spend yet another $50.00 on a universal dock and you are asking if you should do it. Sure spend another $50.00 for the chip enabled dock, it will work, hmm, I think I have put together a pc for less than $100.00 -
The Icloud on the newer i pod will not activate and itunes will not let me download my icloud songs on itunes that i bought on my other ipod how do I update the new ipod and add icloud so i can put my music on it???
What happens when you try to update/restore Erro message?
Is is a 2G iPod? They look the same.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318. -
I've tried both settings>wallpaper to select a photo and also gone into my photos folder and pushing "set as wallpaper" so I don't know what to try next. I've also tried changing the background to one of the preloaded images and it still didn't work.
Yes, that's the 3rd-gen iPod. What version of iOS is on the iPod? Have you tried restarting it?

I was using my 3G ipod touch and i slid the power off button to turn it off and the loading screen before it shuts off wont allow my ipod to turn off. i cant do anything because my ipod has the loading screen still on it. HELP!!
Try a hard reset. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. Then try shutting your iPod off again.

Have a 3rd generation ipod touch and the touch screen will not work.
What should I do? My iPhone sometimes does this and there is a key on the side that I always hit and it makes it work again but my ipod doesn't have that. What to do what to do what to do
Try the standard fixes:
- Reet. Nothing is lost
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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/nw iPod.
If you still have the problem it is likely a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
I bought music on my 3rd generation iPod touch, and now it won't play on my computer.
When I synced the songs, they show in iTunes in gray, with a sort of recyle symbol. I have iOS 5.

My son has a 3rd generation ipod touch. He couldn't remember the passcode and locked it up. It is saying that you have to connect it to Itunes to unlock it. However, when I hook it up to Itunes, it says that you have to unlock it first. I need help in getting it unlocked! Someone please help me???
You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it. If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.
iOS: Unable to update or restore
If recovery mode doesn't work, try DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode instead using the instructions in this article.
