Can't update Itouch 3rd gen to iSO 5?

I know for sure its a Itouch 3rd Gen 32GB. I have the latest version of Itunes and every time I try to download the update it times out right after 99%. I have tried disabling all antivirus and firewalls but it still doesn't work. HELP?!
I currently have version 4.3.5(8L1)

Try a manual install as specified here:

Having issues updating itouch 3rd gen to ios 5

I have a 3rd gen model num a1213 that has updated ios 3 software and when checking for updates will not move to ios 4 or ios 5. I am not sure why, but i have updated itunes, manually downloaded ios 5 and tried to manually install it to the itouch. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike

You actually have a 1G iPod Touch, which can only be updated as high as iOS 3.1.3. See here to help you verify the generation.

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.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

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.

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."

Updated itouch 4 gen to OS 5. Now it won't play songs

updated itouch 4 gen to OS 5 monday 10/17. Tried to play songs today and it won't. But, when I do try to play music, the "play arrow" appears on top like it is.
But, I really don't want to restore my itouch. HELP PLEASE!

I have resolved my problem by connecting my itouch to the PC and then selecting the device in itunes and then unchecking Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kps AAC. Upon syncing, the files will then re-copy across to the itouch and be playable. It means you use more space on your device but at least you can listen to them. Hopefully the bug will be fixed in due course.

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.

How can I update my 1st gen iPad

I can't update the first gen iPad - can anyone help me with this proble.

First Generation iPads cannot be updated past iOS 5.1.1.
Why do you want to do this?

I updated my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to 4.2.1 but now it won't access wi-fi.

I updated my 3rd Gen after restoring to factory settings, to the 4.2.1 softwre but now it won't even acess the wi-fi anymore. As in the wi-fi button has been disabled, or rather said, it became unavailable (aswell as the bluetooth button.) It became what people call a "gray" button? I'd really like some help on this, plese and thank you.

Jumeru7 Excuse me I have the same model(3g) with software 4.2.1 and I want Know how do you updated it? Thanks

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.
