Can't bring up videos tab on my 3rd gen iPod touch

As of late I haven't been able to bring up my videos using the button on the bottom of the touch screen. I can still watch music videos if use the search function or go through the music tab. When I press the video button the screen turns white for a few seconds as it tries to boot up then kicks me out to the main screen. I have the most up to date software for the iPod and iTunes, I've restarted and restored to factory settings with no luck. Any suggestions what I can do?

Two updates later and I'm still having the same problem. Anyone have any suggestions?

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

Can i transfer a video that I took from my ipod touch to my pc

can i transfer a video that I took from my ipod touch to my pc

A movie purchased from iTunes can only be played on iPods, iPhones, iPads, Apple TVs and authorized computers. Even if you transferred the movie to a flash drive, it wouldn't play on your DVD player.

Where can i find a list of games for a 3rd gen ipod touch

i got a second hand 3rd gen ipod touch for my daughter for xmas. All the games on the ipod wont let us download as they say the ipod is not new enough. Has anyone got any suggestions.

I suspect you really have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1. A 3G can go to 5.1.1

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.

When i try to update software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

When i try to update the software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

The later iOSs requires at least OSX 10.5.8 for the Mac. You need iTunes 10.5 but 10.4.11 only goes to 9.x.. 10.5.8 is a paid upgrade.
Are you sure that you have a 3G iPod? If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1 (also requires 10.5.8 or later). A 32 GB can be either 2G or 3G. To identify yours:

I can not navigate through my music directory/play songs on my 3rd gen iPod touch

I recently picked up a 3rd generation iPod touch used. Before last night I had had no problems with its interface.
The music library seems to have completely frozen up on me. I can select the music icon and it just brings me to the page of the last album I listened to. From there I can't go anywhere as the iPod is completely unresponsive to touch. The main menu and all of the other apps work fine, I'm just stuck on this one album screen in my music directory, unable to select any other songs. Suggestions?

At any point can you get to Settings?
You can try to reset settings but may end up having to restore.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If you need to restore make sure you backup first.

Thank you for your comment.

How can I transfer iBooks from my 4th to 5th gen iPod Touch both running iOS 6, using iTunes 11?

I downloaded the e-book The 80/10/10 Diet by Dr. Douglas Graham directly onto my old 4th gen iPod Touch from interviewthemasters.com a while back so my Purchases in iTunes 11 still shows no books available to re-download. _None_ of my iBooks content (e.g. bus route PDFs) show up _or_ seem to sync, even though I have Settings that all available apps sync their data _and_ back up into iCloud. I even got to a PC, downloaded iTunes, restored from my 4th gen's backup right onto my 5th gen, and still nothing in the way of my iBooks content, though the first time I pulled it up, I saw them on the shelf for a split second...>:-| What's going on? Why won't it propagate to my new device via iCloud? Nor can I find a way through iTunes 11 to get my content to my new iPod (yes, I have all authorized under the same Apple ID). Please help! All my annotations through iBooks are very valuable to me and I don't want to keep my old iPod and drag it out any time I want to reference my own notes on a book I bought! Am I to believe Apple cares nothing for my personal data unless it's through their store, and extends entertainment industry shenanigans to disable their own apps with _my_ content garnered elsewhere, _presuming_ it "must" be content which can be found on the store?! If so, how do I get control back of my own data? Apple used to say "tough" if you wanted to re-download purchases. Are personal effects like Notes and iBooks still a drop-stitch? The larger issue of ignoring private content and disabling their ecosystem presuming content is illicit outside their store is pernicious to say the least, and if Apple officially declines to right that wrong I really will leave their ecosystem, and burn the path behind me. I can't be the only person in this boat regarding cavalier ineptitude/negligence regarding basic functionality other than hooked into Apple's money machine.

To reiterate, the 80/10/10 book was purchased from interviewthemasters.com and worked perfectly as a e-book through iBooks including annotations, hilighting, etc. It never syncs to my machine _or_ iCloud, so I cannot try your recommendation regarding the iTunes Book library, unless you can explain how to get it from my iPod into iTunes. The fact Apple syncs only its store's content and disables syncing for my own independently procured content, particularly as the sole means of communicating with iPods, I find reprehensible and is a perfect example of screwing their customers and hobbling their devices for the supposed privilege of offering entertainment industry content since offered elsewhere far less restrictively and at higher quality (Spotify, anyone?). In any case, if anyone can explain how I can get my own book onto a different iPod, I'd love to hear from you—and no, I'm not anxious to use shady PC utilities, and those well-reviewed don't support anything but music and movies. I do not have access to a Mac, only my iPods and a PC, right now (I'm working on it! Trust me, aside from wholly unnecessary shenanigans, Apple offers a vastly superior product!).

Where can I find the user guide for the 4th gen. ipod touch?

Can someone tell me where I can find the user guide for the 4th gen. ipod touch? It's not on the manuals section, only the 5th gen. is.

If I upgrade my 3rd gen iPod touch to iOS 5, will I lose all my content (photos, videos, notes, safari cookies, etc)?

So I've had my 3rd gen iPod for almost 5 years now, and I'm tired of all the "This applications requires iOS 5.0 or later; you must update to iOS 5.0 in order to download and use this application" notifications, and since I don't have enough money to buy the new iPod, I'm finally upgrading to iOS 5.1.1, the highest I can upgrade this generation. In the event that it doesn't save my photos (Camera roll and the pictures I put on from my old computer that I don't have anywhere else), I have been uploading them one by one to Dropbox, but this is a pain. Basically, I'm wondering: if I backup my iPod before upgrading the software, will it reapply all my settings and content after iOS 5 is installed? I've begun the process before and have gotten the notification that all content will be deleted. I don't have all this content on my computer, either, because the photo albums on my iPod were folders of pictures on my old computer that I lost all the files from. I can't just put these back on from my computer if it deletes them and doesn't save a backup copy. But does it save all the settings in a backup copy and reapply them? That's what I want to know. Do I have to keep bothering with Dropbox, or can I just go for it and know everything will be fine?

Only if something goes astray, which happens some times.
- Backup the iTunes
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Make sure that all synced media like apps and music are in your iTunes library and any photos synced to the iPod are also on your computer. Synced media is not included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes
Then update vai Tunes
iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
You need iTunes 10.5 or later on the computer.

How can I get my 3rd gen IPOD Touch w/OS 6 to print to my AirPrint enabled Canon MX432 printer?

I can't print from my IPOD Touch to my Canon 432 AirPrint enabled printer. Printer is wireless and works well with 2 desk top computers. Printer can be seen by my wife's IPhone. IPod OS is 6.0. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm assuming OS upgrades have disabled AirPrint functions.
