  • ITouch 3rd gen updating to iOS6, stuck due to unknown error

    Hi I got a iTouch 3rd generation (still running iOS4.x), tried to update to iOS6 through iTune, got this "Unknown Error Occurred while updating" error,
    Now it only shows the USB plug pointing to iTune icon, like this:
    I browsed this forum, found a few tips, like this one, then tried to get it into DFU mode by pressing power + home button for 10 sec, then home button alone, but no luck. Neither my computer nor the iTune could recognize it now.
    What should I do? Any advice is appreciated!
    Thanks!

    - Try restoring/DFU mode on another computer
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Does it charge?
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • Can a ipod 3rd gen have a software update so it can allow me download apps that are available on iphone 4s?

    Can a ipod 3rd gen have a software update so it can allow me download apps that are available on iphone 4s?

    See:
    iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
    You need iTunes 10,5 or later on the coputer.
    Are you sure you really do not have a 2G iPod? Those can only go to 4.2.1
    Identifying iPod models
    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.

  • HT4623 Can the iPod Touch 3rd Generation update to IOS 7? If so, how do i update it?

    My iPod Touch (3rd Gen.) has IOS 5.1.1, but when I try to wirelessly update, it keeps saying my software is up to date. Can someone please help me update to IOS 7.0.2?

       There is nothing you can do! . . . If you wan't iOS7, you must purchase iPod Touch (5th generation).

  • HT201263 Ipod touch 3rd gen updating

    have  an ipod touch 3rd gen. it has ios 4.2 how and where can I get an update I can't find one in itunes and auto update say 4.2 is the latest

    No, I do not have a 2nd generation it is apsolutely a 3rd.
    Prove it.
    Time and time again, this forum sees posts from people who insist that their iPod is 3rd generation, when it is not, and they continue to argue their case after being told this horrible fact by many of the very experienced contributors to this forum.
    See this page; http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 for help in identifying your model.
    I'll give you a heads up. This screenshot is part of that page;
    Note very carefully, the 3rd generation on that list. If you have an 8GB (or 16GB) iPod - it is not - I repeat, it is not - 3rd gen. If it has Model No. A1288 etched into the back casing, then that is a 2nd gen Touch.
    Now - frankly, you don't need to prove anything to me. You can continue to argue with me if you like, but if iTunes is telling you that your iPod is up to date, then your claim appears unlikely. Furthermore, iTunes won't let you install any iOS higher than iOS 4.2.1.
    This post was submitted before seeing tamarareyna's latest reply, confirming that it is a 2nd gen Touch.
    If it makes you feel any better, I too have 2nd generation Touch.

  • Unable to use iCloud Backup on iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 6.0.1

    Hi, I have been unable to use iCloud Backup for several weeks on both my iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 6.0.1 & my iPhone 4, iOS 6.0.1
    iCloud Backup is set to On on both devices. It did backup once or twice, since I installed the iOS 6.0.1, then it stopped working altogether.
    I hope someone can help me.

    I know. In my post I said ....
    "remove the all day event or change the event from all day - in whatever application on your computer that you sync the calendar from and them sync again to remove the event from the iPad calendar."
    You will need to do this from your computer. If you do not use your computer to sync with iTunes, you will not be able to get around this.
    However, I should have asked of this only happens when you are trying to view events in March, so maybe I misled you. I apologize. Try this now. Quit the calendar app completely in the recents tray and reboot the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • 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

  • 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

    I never heard of 2X vs 5X LCD screen for the iPod Touch.  This place sell screens and the prices seem reasonable.  You will have to maneuver around the site to find your model iPod.
