Drawbacks to iPod Touch iOS 5.1 for owners of 2nd/3rd Generation iPod users
Hello,
I am the principal at a middle school and we have been investing in iPod touch technology. We have a cart of iPod touch units that are 2nd generation units. From what I have read they can not be upgraded to ios 5.1. Can you confirm that this is correct?
Second, and probably most important, we have been very happy with the iPod touches we have. Should I be really concerned that we only bought these units two years ago and they are already unable to accept the ios upgrade? What recommedations do you have to keep the units running in tip top shape for our students given the fact that they cannot utilize ios 5.1.
Thanks a bunch.....Second-generation iPod touch models cannot be upgraded past iOS 4.2.1. iOS 5.0 and 5.1 are both supported on 3rd-generation models.
I'm not sure what you are asking when you ask for recommendations to keep them in "tip top shape" in regards to the OS version. OS version won't make any difference when it comes to what students might be doing to the iPods to cause them to run in a less-than-optimal fashion. The only concern when it comes to OS version that I can think of is whether new apps that you would wish to run would require iOS 5 or later, something which is not yet common but which will become more so as time goes by.

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 frustratedThis problem?
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

When i plug my 3rd generation ipod touch into my computer, itunes doesn't notice it, and the computer says it is just a digital camera. i can only see the images on it. Can anyone help?
Try
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
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

hi i just got a 6th generation nano and im trying to transfer music from my old ipod which a 3rd generation ipod can someone help?plz thankz
There is no way to transfer ipod-to-ipod. Look for a 3rd party program, such as Yamipod, that will let you pull the music from your old iPod to your computer.
You really should be backing up your data on your computer. -
My 3rd generation ipod is not charging, it keeps p showing the apple icon when charging???? help?
my 3rd generation ipod is not charging, it keeps p showing the apple icon when charging???? help?
Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

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

Recently downloaded new iTunes. Now I can't get my 3rd generation iPod shuffle to load songs in order. Never had trouble with the old iTunes format.
I love the new version of Grid view but some of the other changes feel like they still need some fine tuning. And I miss cover flow even if I didn't use it that often...
You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
Ctrl-B to turn on the menu bar.
Ctrl-S to turn on the sidebar (your device should be listed here as before).
Ctrl-/ to turn on the status bar.
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour.
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (but perhaps it does more)
If you want to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and suppporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

Itunes is not reading 3rd generation ipod. help please.
ok so here is the deal. i just bought a 3rd generation ipod for my lil sister and itunes does not read it at all. but i have a 2nd generation ipod myself and it works just fine. i have done the 5 R thing and it still does not work. anyone have any suggestions?
Restoring it will erase the songs from your iPod, but not iTunes. It's simply a matter of loading them again from your library.
I think this is your only option. -
I have a 20GB 3rd generation iPod. I recently found it and tried plugging it into a power source, and I can't seem to get anything to happen and am hesitant to take it to the genius bar, as they probably will laugh at me. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
A 3rd gen iPod is the one with a "touchwheel" (not clickwheel), and the four buttons that glow orange in a row betwen the wheel and screen. That's the one you have, correct?
If so, are you using a FireWire docking cable to connect it? That model, although it has the same dock connector, does not change from a USB port.
If your Mac has FireWire 800, you can use an adapter like this
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/FIR1369AD/
to connect the FireWire docking cable (which has the older FireWire 400 connector). Hopefully, you stil have the docking cable that came with it. -
No Photo tab under source list for 3rd generation ipod nano
I have a 2nd generation ipod nano and recently purchased a 3rd generation ipod nano. I have the latest version of itunes, however, there is no photo tab under the source list. How am I supposed to import my photos?
I am a brand new ipod user and I have not been able to find the summary, music videos and photos tabs. I have gone into every tab up on the Itunes tool bar and poked around but still can't find it. No such page opens up when I connect the nano. Can someone please help?
Thanks in advance. -
I have a 3rd generation ipod that was my daughter's. The screen is broken and the battery is dead but is there any exchange programs to get her a iphone 4? Her contract for Verizon is up in March 2013 but I wanted to get her an iphone for christmas. Can anyone help me please?
There is no exchange program. If the damage was caused by the user, it also wouldn't be covered by any warranty, so your best bet is to try to sell it as is or get it fixed and then sell it or keep using it. Some resellers will accept trade ins - I know this company accepts trade ins, but it may just be Macs, not iDevices - you can check though:

I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I recently upgraded to Lion which is causing lots of issues. Aside from that, I went to the Itunes store to purchase books like I have done at least 100 times before with no problems. Now I can by the book and get it to my computer, however when I tried to download the book to my 3rd generation ipod the dialog box informed me that to download any new audiobook purchases I would need an ipod touch. My ipod nano 3rd generation serves my purposes just fine. Why should I be forced to buy something I do not want just to continue something I have always done seamlessly? I know this is more of a rant than a question but I am sure someone else out there has had this happen to them. Maybe you could share your thoughts on how to work around this issue if possible?
I forgot to add the last obvious and crucial step I had taken - plugging a different iPod into my system. It was also not recognized. That was the final proof I needed to determine if the problem was device or system. But now what?
I truly appreciate any help I can get!
Thanks again... -
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
