How to resync third generation iPod Touch after backup and restore and re installation of the operating system?

Hello.  I have a third generation iPod Touch that I have been having problems with the cover art not displaying by the correct artists and the volume automatically adjusting after spell check has corrected a word.  I backed up and restored the device and reinstalled the operating system, which fixed the bug I experienced with the album art not displaying next to the correct artists.  Since that has happened, my computer no longer recognizes my iPod.  How can I get it to recognize the iPod Touch again?

Make sure you have the laters version of iTunes. The latest is 11.1
See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Run this to help if it identifies the cause

Have you tried on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem?

    I have a third generation iPod touch. It's worked just fine until recently. The battery goes out very very very fast. But the main  issue is that all my apps (which is why I use the iPod, to play them) crash after using them for 5 minutes, this does include the built in apps like photos and calendar ect.. I have had this for about 3 years and love it very much it's not damaged at all. I Have taken very good are of it . Is it time for a new iPod or can I fix it please help!!!! Thanks!!

    The battery can be replaced: http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipod
    As far as crashing apps, it may or may not be related to the battery life. I suggest the usual "restart, restore" routine: http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/ipodtouch/

  • Where can I buy a wall charger for a third generation iPod Touch?

    Does anyone know where I can buy a wall charger for a third generation iPod Touch?  I am giving this iPod to my father because I want to buy myself a fifth generation iPod Touch for my birthday.  Could I just get an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 or 4S wall charger and use that?  I used my brother's iPhone 3GS wall charger, when I was visiting him out of state, and it worked just fine. 

    Any wall charger with a USB port will work. You can go to Target or BestBuy and other places too. An iPhone charger is fine.

  • How can a 2nd generation iPod Touch access the Cloud?

    I am a MobileMe user with a 2nd generation iPod Touch and a Macbook. I do not have an iPhone. I have upgraded iTunes to 10.5 and want to upgrade my iPod Touch to ios5 so I can be ready to switch to the cloud when MobileMe expires for my email, calendars, contacts, etc.—but nothing happens when I plug the iPod Touch into my computer. Can I download ios5 some other way? If not, how will I be able to access the Cloud when MobileMe quits?

    You can only upgrade 3rd Generation and 4rth generation iPod touches to IOS-5, sorry, see this page on the compatability: http://www.apple.com/ios/features.html

    what is wrong with my headphone jack? i have an ipod touch 4th generation ipod touch every pair of headphones and earbuds i plug in it has the same sound going to both sides.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: 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
    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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    Unfortunately there are nitwits out there who hear one thing and warp it into something else. When I used to have an iPod touch, people came up to me all the time saying, "Nice phone!" However, those aren't the people I'm talking about. The people I'm talking about are the ones who hear about the 3G iPhone, and call it a 3G touch, and transform that into 3rd generation iPod touch.
    The best thing to do is go to the source and check the facts whenever you hear an interesting rumor like that.
    There are also plenty of rumors saying things like "There's gonna be $99 iPhone at Wal-Mart", which was a popular rumor until confirmed to be wrong by multiple sources. Rumors like that cannot be confirmed true or false, and until a reliable source says, you'll have to wait it out.

  • I have sound issues with third generation ipod touch, how do i fix it?

    I have the iPod touch 3rd generation and the sound is staticed or not playing at all. it was of and on now it is always staticed or not playing. I brought it to best buy were I got it and they couldn't do anything because it had a small crack, now it has a larger crack got when I pressed down on the bottom of the iPod.  I haven't been able to update my iPod since I got it in October of 2009. I tried about a week ago and it took over 3 days for it to even start the first step of backing the iPod up.
    any ideas to what i sould to to fix it?(besides getting a new one)

  • Why won't some songs play on 1st generation iPod Touch after paying to update to software version 3.1.3 (7E18)?

    This weekend I purchased the software update for the 1st generation touch from iTunes to update it to version 3.1.3.  Prior to the update, the iPod was still 100% working.  The only reason I paid for the upgrade was so I could get the App Store.  Since upgrading, approximately 50% of my songs won't play.  When the problem occurs, the album art will show up on the screen, but after a few seconds of silence, the "play" button pops up indicating that the song paused or stopped.  If I push play again, it looks like it will play for a second or two, but then it does the same thing.  Then if I skip to the next song, and its a song the iPod likes, I can hit play and that song will play without a problem.  All the songs on my iPod have been downloaded from iTunes or ripped from CD's I purchased, so it's not like I have a bunch of shady, corrupt music files.  I'm just frustrated because Apple wants to charge me for support since this is an older product.  However, the product was working fine until the other day when I PAID for their software update.  If anyone went through a similar issue and has info it would be much appreciated.

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • TS1538 I have a 1st generation iPod touch.  It will not let me connect to the iTunes store.  How can I fix this?

    We were given this iPod touch from a friend.  Here is what I have done so far.  Reset it back to factor settings.  Added my music.  Set up the wifi through my home internet.  And it keeps telling me that it cannot connect to iTunes.  Don't know what else to do.  Have tried to look on this community for answers and haven't found ones that I haven't tried yet.  I did see somewhere where there was an update for the iPod touch.  It was 4.95 on the iTunes store.  Wondered if that might help.  Don't want to pay for something that won't work.  Thanks!

    I would update. You need the update for apps.

  • HT5467 how do I locate my Ipod touch after I lost it

    Lost my Ipod Touch and want to try to use Location Services to find it. Is there a way to use Location Services to find it?

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing
