- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

i have an ipod touch 3rd gen.I used the function of erasing all contents and settings and now i am stuck with this screen showing the apple logo and the loading sign for the past 17 hours.CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hold down the on/off button and the home button for 20 to 30 sec, when the iPod starts and the Apple logo is on the screen release the on/off button but continue to hold the home button until you see the plug into iTunes screen. Connect the iPod to iTunes and you should be good to go.

IPod touch 3rd Generation screen is very odd after updating
I just updated my hardware on my iPod touch 3rd Gen. and the screen is HUGE! It's like it doubled in size. Is there any way to fix this problem? I have tried to restore the iPod but it did the same thing when I restarted it. Thanks for your help!!
If you can't reach settings, do this:
Zoom in or out: Double-tap the screen with three fingers. By default, the screen is magnified 200 percent. If you manually change the magnification (by using the tap-and-drag gesture, described below), iPod touch automatically returns to that magnification when you zoom in by double-tapping with three fingers.

IPod Touch 3rd gen stuck in the middle of 5.1.1 download?
I started a remote software (5.1.1 I believe) update on my iPod touch 3rd gen (through the settings), but I am on vacation and do not have access to my own iTunes account to plug in to for another two weeks. Now my iPod is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen and I've tried restarting it and everything and it just won't budge. How do I cancel the installation and get it off the screen?
- Yes when you go home you can restore from backup.
- You can also restore now. If you have no iCloud backup you can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
and at least have some use of the iPod now. When you get home you can restore from your backup -
I made a mistake of trying to put 5.0.1 beta 1 firmware on my ipod touch 3rd gen ( non-registered) unsuccessfully. Now the ipod doesn't work at all with any public firmware. Any suggestions?
You can try putting the iPod into Recovery Mode and restoring it:

If that doesn't work, you'll need to take this up in the forums to which you have access as a member of Apple's iOS developer program.

I started to replace my ipod 4g screen but the silver plate that goes on top of the battery won't go back into place. It's not lining up with the screw holes so i can't finish the repair. Please I'm begging you all to help me with some advice and tips!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will be greatly appreeciated. ASAP
Your best bet is to email the company that sold you the screen for advice. Or you could search on YouTube for repair instructions. Hopefully, you will see where you went wrong. Apple will not do an out-of-warranty replacement on an iPod that has been opened.

Ipod touch 3rd generation screen very dim.
I will admit that the ipod was submerged in a puddle briefly (2-3 seconds). It was turned on directly after event and screen was very dim. It was not charged. It was put in a bag of rice for 24 hours. Ipod came on after rice bath but screen was very dim (with brief moments of brightness when first turned on) and displayed only sync message. Sync was done and restore was required. Ipod continues to have brief moments of brightness when first turned on. Restore was successful for everything except screen. Screen can only be seen in very bright direct lighting. I have attempted to sleep/wake the ipod with different brightness settings in dark room and different settings of auto-brightness to no avail. Cost to send to Apple is substantial and may be as cost effective as purchasing new product. Seems like it is a setting that I cannot find. Current version is 4.3.2. I have read and this seems to be a fairly common occurance than dates back many years and would think a correction would have been created or a patch. A hardware problem due to water damage does not seem likely because of moments of previous integrity. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you can't reach settings, do this:
Zoom in or out: Double-tap the screen with three fingers. By default, the screen is magnified 200 percent. If you manually change the magnification (by using the tap-and-drag gesture, described below), iPod touch automatically returns to that magnification when you zoom in by double-tapping with three fingers.

IPod Touch 3rd Gen not playing the selected songs - What's the problem?
Tried to play songs by selecting them but iPod Touch is overriding the selected songs with other songs and displaying those instead. This happens in all my Playlists. Jsut wondering if anyone else has ever encountered this and what is the suggested resolution? Last time I used iTunes, I did switch on the Genius DJ - unsure if this has caused the irregularities now? Help!
I have just posted a similar problem.(5/11/2011). Did you get it resolved?

- 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.
- Reset all settings if you can
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Today my iPod touch (3rd gen) fell onto the floor and the screen turned black. It was almost put of battery anyways so I wasn't exactly worried.... But when I tried to turn it back on it wouldn't. It wouldn't hold a charge. I tried hooking it up to the computer and windows pops up a message like "cannot recognize device" and it doesn't show up at all on iTunes. I've tried holding down the both the home and power buttons for 9 seconds. I've tried to enter DFU mode. Nothing seems to work. I could really use some help because I DONT want to buy a new one and I'm definitely not under a warranty. HELP!!!!
Try the remaining items of:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

My ipod touch 3rd gen suddenly lost the safari app. I restored it from my mac book sync, but still no app. I'm wondering if when I messed around with "restrictions" through settings did something. Any help is appreciated.
Go to your Home screen on the iPod then swipe to the left so you see the white search field top of the window. Type in: Safari then tap Search.
Tap Settings / General / Restrictions. On or off? -
