Does Ipod Touch 3rd generation sync with newer apps?

I am thinking of buying an Ipod Touch 3rd generation, but am concerned that it is old technology as far as apps and games go and will be wasting my money. Does anyone have any information about this?
Thank you!

iOS is a broader name for the mobile operating system powering Apple devices. You determine the latest software by version number, i.e. now the latest is iOS 6.1.3.
The 4th generation iPod touch will not be able to run iOS 7 when it comes out this fall.

  • Does ipod touch 4th generation work with Altec Lansing Octiv Mini Executive Edition?

    i want to buy a speaker and i wonder if my ipod touch 4th generation work with Altec Lansing Octiv Mini Executive Edition
    plz answer

    If anyone is interested I managed to solve this problem by reformatting the ipod as a mac ipod, with the help of friends system. This does get rid of the music but as I had it backed up wasn't a problem. I then plugged the mac Ipod back into a windows pc and reformatted it as a windows ipod which updated the firmware correctly and have'nt had a problem since.

  • Ipod touch 3rd generation can´t install apps

    I have a problem with apple.
    I bought a Ipod touch of the 3rd generation and I can´t install any apps the problem is that my ipod said You need ios 6 to install this app.I bought them in 2010.
    How can I fix this problem? I have ios 5.1.1.I would be okay that apple update my ipod to the version 8 of ios.
    I think that is a case of programmed obsolescence.
    I am very angry. I think that bought an ipod with only 5 years of use and then happens this. I find it amazing.

    Unfortunately that is the case with any kind of technology. Components get older and new software is designed to take advantage of current day technologies. The iPod touch 3rd generation is 6 years old which is a very long time in the age of technology. This may seem like a cop out answer but this iPod touch just could not handle current day software. Lets put it in perspective. If Apple updated that iPod touch to iOS 8.x then it would not have the power to handle even the simplest of operations. The iPod touch 3rd generation still works with iOS 5.x and allows you to use it as you did 6 years ago. Applications also get updated as well to support the newer technologies and with that they drop support for older hardware. Apps that had versions on the App Store that at some point in time supported your iPod, it will give you the option to install the older version. I am not saying Apple does not have planned obsolescence, what I am saying is that your iPod still functions because it does not use new software.

  • Does iPod touch 4th generation come with a phone number?

    I want an iPod touch 4th generation, then I heard it comes with iMessage, does it come with a phone number? How would you text without one?

    No. The Messages app uses an email address and the "number". You can call an iPhone that has the Messages app by either the phone number or the email address assigned for Messages.

  • IPod Touch 3rd Generation 32GB Brand New drains with Wifi

    I recently purchased an iPod Touch 32 GB 3rd Gen and started using it 2 days ago. Everything about my iPod is awesome except for Wifi. If I connect to wifi and use Facebook or Safari (or any internet app), my battery life gets cut short to about 2 hours. This is without music playing, and brightness set at a low level. My mail is set to fetch every hour, and there's no push. My girlfriend has an iPod Touch 8GB 2nd Gen for a year, and she doesn't have this problem. Her battery barely goes down while using wifi+facebook. I find this extremely disturbing. I know that her iPod is supposed to have 6 extra hours of music, but I didn't think that would cause such a difference. Does anyone have this problem? If so, could y'all please help me? I love my iPod Touch, but I hate the Wifi problem. Thanks in advance.

    Did you try to delete your mail account and set it up again? There have been posts about the mail app getting stuck connecting to the mail server over and over again when set to fetch.

  • IPod Touch won't sync with new Mac

    I just replaced my laptop with a new Mac, we transferred the music, and our library so that all our old playlists are present, and I went to sync my iPod (knowing the first time it would erase my music, videos, etc...), but instead I get an error message saying I don't have enough memory on my iPod.  I have gone through and check the "manually manage music and videos" and the bar across the bottom shows I should have enought space (content is less than 28 gigs), but I still get the same error message.  Is the new machine trying to load the "new" content over my existing content?

    I did the restore a second time and I'm still getting the same message.  For some reason, the computer is wanting to load the music library onto my iPod without erasing the existing music.  Is there some advanced setting I need to look at to fix this?

    Hmm.. Thank you for the response.
    Have you tried using the iPod with another user account or computer, to help narrow down whether the problem lies with the computer, account, or the iPod itself?
    Maybe try reformatting it, using the tools provided by Windows. Instructions on how to reformat your iPod can be found in this article.

  • Ipod touch 3rd generation won't sync.

    3rd generation Ipod touch won't sync with itunes. I downloaded the new software, reset the ipod, went through the trouble shooter and my comp nor itunes recognizes my Ipod. Any tips?

    What do yo mean by "but won't load."?
    Since the 3G iPod does not have cameras, the only way to get phots on the the iPod is to:
    - Sync them to the iPod
    - Save them to the iPod like saving an email attachment. Those would be in the Saved Photos album
    To get synced phtos from an iPod back to a computer you need a third-part program like PhoneView or TouchCopy.
    Saved photos are imported from the iPod via iPhoto, Image Capture or similar program

  • Ipod touch 3rd generation will not sync to any computers, help

    Ipod touch 3rd generation will not sync to my laptop, tried everything I can think of except getting new usb cable.  Does anybody have any suggestions?

    Well, even bought the usb cable today and that didn't help.  Guy at Best Buy told my son to reset the ipod to the factory settings; so he did and it wiped everything off the ipod and now he still can't get it to hook up to his laptop so no way to get anything back on the ipod.  Don't know what to do know.  Getting frustrated.

  • Does the ipod touch 3rd generation not support games?

    I recently purchased an ipod touch 3rd generation for my granddaughter.  We loaded music onto it with some difficulty but have been unable to load games.  Am I doing something wrong or does this unit not support games??

    Yes.
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.

    Help!
         my ipod touch 3rd generation will not load the start-up screen but follows a cycle, connecting to the USB port of a computer the ipod shows Battery Low
    Indication; after about 3 minutes of charging the Apple logo appears and remains for approximately 3-5 minutes before the ipod turns off, and this cycles with
    battery charge.
    The ipod cannot be reset, and when connected to a computer running iTunes the ipod is not recognised, leaving me unable to follow the restoration or recovery
