How do I identify which generation iPod touch I haver

How do I identify what generation my iPod touch is? The iOS is 5.1.1 and iTunes and the iPod  say the software is up to date.

You have a 3rd generation iPod based on the fact that iOS 5.1.1 is the latest version for it.

  • Which generation iPod Touch

    I know this might be a stupid question, but I looked though Knowledge Base and couldn't find what I wanted. So, how do I know which generation iPod Touch I have? Also, I want to sync with my PC at work, but my Windows OS is old and can't use newest iTunes. Can I get an older version? Again, I looked around but couldn't find the answer. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    The second generation iPod touch has physical volume buttons on the left side of the device. The first doesn't.
    As for iTunes, what version of Windows are you using?

    How can I update my first generation iPod touch to iOS 4.3 if it's updated currently to iOS 4.2.1?
    I tied going to iTunes and checking for an update, but it tells me that it's updated to the current version.
    Can I update the iOS 4.2.1 to 4.3 without payments?

    You can't. That is the last version for that model, which is a 2nd Generation:

  • How to wipe a 1st Generation iPod Touch keeping the 2.2.1 software

    I want to sell my first generation iPod Touch (have an iPhone now).
    I want to wipe all personal data from the iPod, but I want to keep the 2.2.1 software update that I purchased from it.
    Not sure how to do it.

    You could restore.
    Page 111 of the manual:
    "If you restore, the latest version of iPod touch software is reinstalled, default settings
    are restored, and data stored on iPod touch is deleted, including downloaded
    applications, songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other
    data. In iTunes, you can also restore from a backup without deleting data stored on
    iPod touch.
    Page 96:
    "Erase all content and settings: Connect iPod touch to your computer or a power
    adapter. Choose General > Reset and tap “Erase All Content and Settings.”
    This feature resets all settings to their defaults and removes all your information and
    media on your iPod touch by overwriting the data stored on iPod touch."

  • Can someone tell me how to backup my 3rd generation ipod touch?

    I have a 64GB 3rd generation ipod touch. I have been  trying for the past two days to back it up to my laptop but it will not work. I have heard that if i update it without backing it up it will delete everything on my ipod and I really dont want to do that unless it is a last resort. Should I just update it and start from scratch or keep trying? Please someone help me .

    Follow these instructions. When you restore from backup as the article says, the iPod will also be updated
