How come the iPod touch 8gb (early 2010) was sold as a 3G but is now a 2G?

I bought an 8GB iPod Touch in July 2010 and it was sold as a third generation iPod.  Now, apparently, I can't update to iOS 5.0 because i 'don't have a late enough generation ipod' according to apple.

Apple on made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods.  What was the exact working that led you to believe that you received/ordered a 3G?

  • How come the iPod Touch doesn't charge when connected to an USB extension?

    I have it plug it directly into the iMac, I can't plug it into an extension cable connected to the iMac. My older iPod Touch charged just fine using the USB extender, but my new one refuses to charge unless it's directly connected to the iMac. Why would Apple change how the iPod charges? Those extension cables are useful when you need to switch out USB devices, since the ports are all in the back of the unit.

    I noticed the same thing happened with my iPod touch. It wouldn't charge on my iMac but when I connected it to my Macbook it started up right away. The difference being, I think, is not the computers but the usb hubs. The one on my Macbook has its own power supply where as the one on my iMac doesn't. Try that. Maybe the usb hub just needs to have its own power supply in order for the iPod touch to charge. So if that's the case then the usb extension cable probably won't work at all.

  • HT201210 how come my ipod touch doesnt have auto update?

    how come my ipod touch doesnt give mr auto updates for the ios?

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

  • HT4623 i have the ipod touch 8gb. i need to update the software 4.3. i try but don;t due that.

    I HAVE THE IPOD TOUCH 8GB I NEED TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE 4.3. I TRY BUT DONT FIX

    If it's a second generation iPod touch, it can't be updated past 4.2.1. 8GB models sold at the same time as the third generation ones are second generation.

  • The iPod Touch 4G is supposed to have 256MB of Ram, but mine can barely reach 90.

    I am well aware that the iPod Touch 4G is supposed to have 256MB of ram, but when using ram checking applications, I can barely get 90. I have had the iPod since it launched, but have taken good care of it. Anyone have any idea what is going on? Anything I can do?
    Thanks!

    The apps tell you how much free RAM you have, not how much total physical RAM the iPod has.

  • How does the ipod touch connect to the internet?

    I am looking at buying my kids the ipod touch 4th genreation but how does it connect to the internet or is it just itunes?

    Wirelessly - WiFi. iTunes provides the means to sync directly with the computer and to make backups that are stored on the computer along with the library of music, movies, apps, etc. With iOS 5 or 6 installed it can sync wirelessly as well.

  • I know how many the ipod touch last genreation cost how many but I want to know with taxes?

    Me I'm going to have an ipod at Christmas I'm really excited but I have to pay my ipod so I know the last genreation cots 300$ but not exactly because taxes are not incloud.So people who did buy the last generation of the ipod touch can tell me how many plus taxes they pay their ipod touch.Thank you people who are gping to help me!And also does the wi-fi cost something?

    Taxes will be whatever the local tax rate is wherever you purchase the ipod.
    Since you do not mention a place at all, it is hard to guess.  Tax rates vary greatly.
    WI-fi may or may not cost depending on where you are.  Hotels and other places can have free wi-fi available.  Most people have wi-fi at their house. Some places charge for wi-fi.

  • How come my Ipod touch 4g wont charge !?

    My ipod touch 4g wont charge or sync to my itunes! i plug it in but nothing happens ! Help me ASAP

    - See:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable
    - Try another charging source
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    maybe
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How come my iPod Touch will not let me get the latest software update and will only let me have the 3.1 update?

    My iPod will only let me get the 3.1 update and I don't know how to get a later update.

    What happens when you try?
    Error message?
    Do you have the original ipod touch?  If so, then  3.1 is the latest software.

  • How come my iPod Touch (5th Generation) won't appear in iTunes?

    My iPod Touch (5th Generation) won't appear in iTunes. I've never had any problem like this until we got that new charger and USB cord that comes with the 5th Generation. We just barely managed to get it to charge with my HP laptop. Before the device was considered "unknown" and was rejected by my computer, but then I found an article that said to uninstall the USB driver or whatever, and we did so, so now it's able to charge. We got all happy, thinking that it was going to apear in iTunes now, but it's still not there. It's said to be "Apple iPod" whenever it pops up after being connected to the computer, but it doesn't open in iTunes. I tried going under "File" and then "Device", and then trying to sync, but it appears gray and won't let me click on it. I don't know how to get it to open there. Can anyone help me? Please?

    - Reboot the computer
    - 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.
    Then try again.

  • How, on the ipod touch 5th gen, can you get rid of songs in the songlist?  I restored from a stolen ipod touch 4th gen, and now there is a bunch of crap that is not even mine on this thing.  The songs only show up in the songs listing.

    I had my last ipod stolen, when I got the 5th Gen I restored from my old ipod from itunes and now there is a bunch of crap on there that I don't want, but the songs only show up on the ipod so I can not delete them off of the ipod from itunes.  Any quick fixes to remove the unwanted songs, or do I have to start over completely?

    Do they play on the iPod?
    If not then they are corrupted.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.

    If the other is larger than about 1 1/2 GB that indicates corrupted file.
