Game is "incompatable" with 3rd gen ipod touch

I've been trying to download Trenches II onto my 3rd gen ipod touch, but when I do it says that it's incompatable, the only problem is that I fufill all requirements (iOS 3.1 and 3rd gen ipod minimum)

Please check the model number on the back. If it is A1288, it is a 2nd gen unit.

Problems with contacts getting deleted after software upgrade!

Somehow, my IPhone 4s had a software upgrade, and it DELETED contacts. Anyone else have a problem with this???? UGH!
I had a thunderbolt before my IPhone, and my contacts were saved to the verizon back up assistant. They are now nowhere to be found!

If you were already using iOS 5 where you using the iCloud feature to back up your device? If so, you should be able to retrieve your contacts. If you just upgraded to iOS 5 where you backing up your device on your computer via iTunes? You were advised to complete a backup prior to proceeding with the software update...if you did so then a copy of your back up should be available in iTunes. Try looking at the following link to see if it helps:

If you did not do a backup and you were not using iCloud to do backups then you would need re-sync your contacts from another source...did you use a contact manager on your computer (such as Outlook)? If you did then you can retrieve your contacts from there. Try looking at this link to see if it helps. If it is not the correct one you can do a search on that site to find the article that better fits your needs.

Video playback issue with 3rd gen iPod Touch

Hi all,
I just recently discovered an issue with my iPod touch 3rd generation video playback. The issue just reared its head today and I have no idea what I could've done to cause it. It's a small issue but frustrating enough to cause a problem.
If I watch a video normally (by opening up the Videos section and picking it), it'll play through to the end, then start over again, then stop. This only happens if I choose videos randomly, and doesn't happen if I play videos in a playlist.
What could be the issue?

I'll second that. I've been having the same problem since the last software update

Problem with 3rd Gen Ipod Nano being recognized by Itunes

I have a third generation Ipod Nano that was only used once. It takes a full charge and appears to be working fine. Problem is when I plug it into a computer it is not recognized by Itunes. The computer recognizes it but not Itunes. I have tried it on several computers and same situation. I have tried other Ipods and they are recognized by Itunes. I have reset it and reloaded Itunes with no change. Any suggestions?

If none of the solutions found in the PDF user manual and from DIY websites like iFixit and YouTube's How To tutorials work then it's time to take your iPod Nano to your local Apple Store or an AASP.

RDS data display and 3rd gen iPod nano

Will RDS data be displayed for compatibile stations when using the Radio remote with 3rd gen iPod nano?

Since the iPod radio remote isn't compatible with the 3rd gen nano, the answer is probably no.
I've found that the radio/remote often does work with iPods that are not listed as compatible, but that some of the features (such as RDS) do not or at least if they do work, they're pretty hit and miss.

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

Are QR Code Reader Apps compatible with 3rd Generation IPod Touch?, Are QR Code Reader Apps compatible with 3rd Generation IPod Touch?

Looking to use in my classroom purely for QR Code Readers. Hoping 3rd Generation are compatible for expense reasons, thank you!

Thank you. I am looking at the apps I want to use... some say only gen 4 and 5, some just say IPod Touch with no generation listed. A better question might be, is there a QR Code Reader app available that is compatible with 3rd Gen. IPod Touch?

Extended Start-up Time in 3rd Gen iPod

20GB 3rd Gen iPod, purchased pre-5/31/04. Besides legal battery failure (should I make a claim?), the Apple logo stays up for a much longer period than usual when I turn it on. Any ideas on how to fix it? Or is it just getting old?

Macs can read Windows formatting so you just need to connect your iPod to start using the iTunes library. However if your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your new computer and a different iTunes. If it is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No* (or "Cancel" if you are using iTunes 7). Pressing "Yes" (or Erase and Sync in iTunes 7) will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. In iTunes 7 Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys, (on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer.
To keep your iPod Windows formatted you'll have to carry out any software updates or restores from the PC. Updating or restoring on the Mac will change the formatting.

Transferred itunes library from Windows XP PC to new Windows 7 PC. plugged in 3rd gen Ipod. Ipod icon appears along with playlists, music etc. Songs are grayed out and won't play. Please help!

I recently transferred itunes library from windows XP PC to new Windows 7 PC. The transfer was successful, however when I plug my 3rd gen Ipod Nano into the new PC, the Ipod icon appears along with the music, playlists, etc. The songs are shown but are 'grayed out' and wont play or sync.The 'Devices & Printers' window in new PC shows icon for Ipod driver & is OK. The icon for the Ipod appears but depicts a delta shaped warning icon that states that the Ipod is'not operating properly'. Tried troubleshooting. The troubleshooting message states the the Ipod is 'disconnecting'. Can you help me with this problem?

Then, I dropped the entire itunes file from the old PC (XP) into an empty external drive.
That "itunes file from the old PC"? Is that the iTunes folder, from the old PC, that was in the user home folder's Music folder?
All of the library, playlists, etc. from the ipod as they always have been are shown, by they are 'grayed out' and will not open or play.
That's on the iPod, correct? Are all of your old playlists in iTunes, from the old PC, still there in iTunes on the new PC? Are the songs in iTunes still playable?
This document provides the steps to transfer a complete iTunes library between two computers. See the section called External drive.
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer - Apple Support
There are many steps, but this is a summary. (1) On the old PC, consolidate all of your iTunes data into the iTunes folder. (2) Copy this iTunes folder to the external drive. (3) On the new PC (that has iTunes installed but NOT running), replace its existing iTunes folder with the one from the old PC (on the external drive). When you run iTunes, it uses the iTunes folder from the old PC, and it should look like iTunes on the old PC (with all the playlists, ratings, play count, etc.), and your iPod will see the iTunes library as the same iTunes library (because it is the same library).
If you did something different, and the old PC is still accessible, you may want to try it using the method from the linked document.

3rd gen iPod Nano will not sync with latest version of iTunes. It passes the connectivity test but not the sync test under diagnostics. Worked fine on old Windows 7 laptop but not new one. From Control Panel it shows up as an Apple iPod USB Device...

Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok.

Updating iTunes to 11.0.4, Will my 3rd gen iPod touch work fine on it with version 4.3.1
