Accessorie compatability with itouch 3rd gen vs. 2nd gen

I am waiting for my new iPod touch 3rd generation to come in the mail. While I am waiting, I have been looking at different accessories. I am new to the itouchs, and I wanted to know if the things that work for 2nd gen will work for the 3rd gen. This includes cases, chargers, etc.
Also, are there any good speakers/radio/charging dock etc that works with the new 3rd generation itouch?

if you upgrade to 3.0 peer-to-peer gaming only works on the 2G Touch. as for speakers there are very small ones you can just attach under it, dubble click the home button and you get the volume controls without unlocking it, the battery life isn't a huge difference either. The biggest difference is the Bluetooth

  • Image quality with ATV 3rd gen

    Hi.  I have a 2nd gen ATV and am very happy with it.  I use it to stream movies from my iTunes library on my Mac, and occasionally from Netflix.  I recently  bought the 3rd gen ATV.  Over the weekend I used the 3rd gen ATV to stream portions of some movies from my iTunes library to see if I would notice a difference in image quality on my 47" LDC TV.  Some were better (the 1080i HD ones) than with the 2nd gen ATV, most looked about the same, but it surprised me that a few looked worse.
    I don't know how to describe the ones that looked worse.  It's not an issue of pixelation.  I believe Hollywood produces films on 35mm or 70mm format, whereas TV and home movies often are on lower quality 8mm or 16mm format.  With the 3rd gen ATV, the movies that I thought looked worse seemed to have the appearance of lower quality 8mm / 16mm movies, rather than of higher quality 35mm / 70 mm movies.  The characters and images on the screen looked more plastic somehow, with less depth.  Any yes, I am talking about 2D images, not 3D.  The movies in question were purchased from the iTunes store in SD format.  They look better on my 2nd gen ATV than they do on my 3rd gen ATV.
    Has anyone else had this experience?  Is there a setting I am missing somewhere on the 3rd gen ATV that might cause this affect?  Thank you

    SD movies need to be scaled to fill your screen.
    If your TV has a 1080 screen and your Apple TV is set to output at 1080, then your Apple TV does all the scaling.
    Your Apple TV 2 has a maximum output of 720, therefore your TV had to do some of the scaling.
    If your TV is significantly better than the Apple TV at scaling, this may account for what you say.

  • Facetime on itouch 3rd gen

    Hi im wondering if there is going to be a facetime app for the itouch 3rd gen? that will be able to connect to a computer with a webcam!! something like the icam app. Do you think this will ever happen??

    I doubt it since the earlier iPod do not have a camera. The FaceTime Beta app for Intel Mac computers will not install if the computer does not have a camera.

    Just get into "General" -> last option is "RESET" -> Opt for "RESET NETWORK SETTINGS"
    Your phone will reeboot in a couple of minutes n then get fine on with full signal on the wifi scale.
    Worked perfect for me. Do try n let me know.

  • Looking for iTouch 3rd gen. ihome or similar any good ones?

    I got my new itouch 32g, 3rd generation and I have been looking around for an ihome for it.
    I want at least these things:
    speakers
    alarm
    CHARGES the iTouch
    and under like $100 or so.
    Anyone know of anything like this that is compatable with the 3rd generation iThouch?

    Thank you for your input here, but I have tried and tried to find a compatible docking station that DOES indeed charge as well as play, but there are NONE out on the market yet "officially" unless you buy directly from Apple!!
    That comes from Apple themselves.  BB and every other store I've gone too assures you they all will work, and YES, they do play, but they do NOT charge.  According to one piece of advice from Apple too....some of these docks that are not technically for these newer generations can actually cause damage to the iPods themselves internally when you use them.
    Just an FYI that I just got a reply on from another forum site relating to Apple products....

  • Hi, i want to buy headphones that are compatible with my 3rd gen. shuffle

    hi, i want to buy headphones that are compatible with my 3rd gen. shuffle. can you please recommend which to purchase? It appears that you do not sell the older headphones style.

    This is a user to user forum. Apple is not here.
    for headphones, any 3.5mm headphones will work just fine.
    Apple sells the Earpods which should work just fine with a shuffle. And there are also other brands available.
    Make sure you choose the wired earphones.  Wireless ones will not work with a shuffle.

  • Itouch 3rd Gen to Itouch 4th Gen???

    I have an Itouch 3rd gen, If I buy an Itouch 4th gen, can I backup my 3rd gen and restore it to the new 4th Gen. (migrate) Thanks in advance.

    Most everything gets transferred.
    I did have to setup my lock code again, but that was about it.
    And of course there are a few new features to configure that were not on your 3rd gen

  • Unexpected on and off (itouch 3rd gen ISO 5.0.1)

    unexpected on and off (itouch 3rd gen ISO 5.0.1)

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • How many apps on an itouch 3rd gen 32Go

    Hi ! any idea of the amount of apps which can be supported by an Itouch 3rd gen, 32 Go ? Thanks

    How many do you have now? There is a limit to the number of home pages you can have that will limit how many apps will be displayed, but that does not limit the ability to add more. It just means they will not be displayed. You can use the search function to locate them, however.
    I believe this is covered in the manual. IPod Touch user guide
