3rd Generation IPod Touch using Instagram

Instagram is supposed to work on the third generation and up of the ipod touch. I have the instagram app on my ipod, but it won't let me log back in to my account. It keeps telling me to update it, but there is no update for the third generation. Please help me fix this

What iOS is on the iPod?
The description of Instagram says:
Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 4.3 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.
A 3G can go to 5.1.1. However, many usrs think that they have a 3G when they really have a 2G A 2G can ony go to 4.2.1

iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
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.

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.

HT4972 I am attempting to update the software on my 3rd generation ipod touch using itunes. I understand I must erase and restore everything first. Must I do this with my ipod plugged in to my pc?

All you have to do is connect the iPod to our computer and update via iTunes. You do not have to seperately erase and restore the iPod. That is done automatically as part of the update process.
To update see:
iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
You need iTunes 10.5 or later on the computer. Y will go to iOS 5.1.1. the last update fopr the 3G

3rd generation iPod touch syncing issues

The last time I tried to sync my iTunes account through a wired connection between my Macbook Pro and 3rd generation iPod touch, I had some major issues.
First: It deleted the YouTube, iBooks, Netflix, Dropbox, Facebook, and Kindle apps from my iPod and will not let me reinstall them because they are "not compatible with this iPod." This is really annoying. It means I can never sync my computer with my iPod again. The only way I can get those apps on my iPod is if I go to the store in the iPod and download each one individually.
Second: Some songs that I have recently acquired will not sync with my iPod because they are not the right format or something. I never had issues with this before. This song is in the same format as some songs I aready have on the iPod.
Solutions I have tried: I tried reinstalling iTunes and it didn't help. I tried reseting my iPod to factory settings and starting with a "new iPod," twice. This did not help either.
My Question: Is this an issue because my iPod is out of date and means that I am just SOL or can it be fixed?

The shuffle and iPod touch use different drivers.
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

3rd generation ipod touch is locked and says to connect to itunes. It will not connect to itunes because it is locked. What do I do?

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.

HT1353 I just purchased a 3rd generation Ipod Touch and the latest software is iOS 4.2.1 and I'd like to download some Apps (facebook, words with friends, etc.), but they all need iOS 5. Help!

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
Quickly for Facebook with Video Chat

We have some 3rd generations iPod touches that are note syncing with the computer we have. The original computer that the ipods was synced to is gone. We downloaded the itunes to the new computer and logged on as the same account and it won't sync.

We have some 3rd generations iPod touches that are note syncing with the computer we have. The original computer that the ipods was synced to is gone. We downloaded the itunes to the new computer and logged on as the same account and it won't sync the applications we have.

An iPod can pn;y sync wiht one iTunes kibrary and the new computer is a new iTunes library:
- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party probgram like one of those dicussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup

3rd generation ipod touch that will no longer sync but charges

I have a 3rd generation ipod touch. It was syncing to my itunes just fine and then one day it stopped syncing. It shows that its charging but never syncs anything. When i click to do a manual sync, it goes through the process but does not transfer any music. Any suggestions. I am running windows 7 64bit if that makes any difference with the newest version of itunes.

On your computer go to the control panel (hover in the lower right corner) then programs, add/remove programs
Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support then go to apple.com and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
You won't lose any content, you're not deleting that, just the programs that access them.
What is thought to happen is that sometimes a new version of itunes doesn't update the drivers in those other two programs. The only way to update the drivers is to force it by uninstalling the programs which allows itunes to write the correct ones.
My iPad and iPod did exactly the same thing and this is how I fixed it.

Can someone tell me how to backup my 3rd generation ipod touch?

I have a 64GB 3rd generation ipod touch. I have been trying for the past two days to back it up to my laptop but it will not work. I have heard that if i update it without backing it up it will delete everything on my ipod and I really dont want to do that unless it is a last resort. Should I just update it and start from scratch or keep trying? Please someone help me .

Follow these instructions. When you restore from backup as the article says, the iPod will also be updated

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 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.

TS1398 my 3rd generation ipod touch recently lost wifi capabilities. I reset the network settings... this did not help. I did a complete reset, I now no longer have the Safari icon on my itouch. Has Apple removed wifi on older models to force new purcha

I recently lost wifi capabilities on my 3rd generation ipod touch. I reset the network which did nothing so I did a complete reset. This actually removed the Safari icon off my itouch and still wifi is completely grayed-out. Has Apple removed the wifi capabilities to force the purchase of new items?
I find it completely disturbing that only recently has this become an issue for 3rd generation itouch users.
Can someone please help as I am exceptionally frustrated

3rd Generation iPod Touch battery won't hold a charge.

My 3rd Generation iPod touch has been very reliable for the past few years, but recently I've been noticing a decrease in its battery life. The battery will now, on a full charge, last about 4 hours on continuous usage. Is this normal? I recall it lasting longer before.
Thanks!

Very likely that the barger is wearing out. That happens with time/charge/discharge cycles. 4 hours is standar for an old iPod like yurs.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.

3rd generation iPod Touch not recognized by Mac & iTunes!

My 3rd generation ipod touch is not recognized on iTunes but is recognized when I plug it into a different computer. I've tried reinstalling iTunes numerous times and have referred to other online tutorials. With no success, my iPod will still not show up on my Macbook, and I've never experienced a problem like this before with either device. My mac and itunes still recognize my iPhone so I don't know why they would recognize one device but no the other. Solutions?
Any feedback will help greatly. Thanks.

It should work fine. I have a 1st gen shuffle, and it still works...
If you are updating to iTunes 11.x for the first time, iTunes may hide the sidebar initially, which is where the shuffle appears.
If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar, the shuffle should appear under DEVICES.

I have 3rd Generation IPod Touch, it does not boot up. We have tried to restore, but we are stilling receiving errors. Any ideas?

I have a 3rd generation IPod Touch that no longer boot up. I've downloaded the recovery, but it does not work. It just lights up briefly and then we receive a message that the IPod drivers are not readable. Any ideas what we can do to resolve?

If iTunes is not seeing the iPod try:'
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
You said you "download the recovery"? What is the recovery?
