Hi,
You will have to place your iPod in Recovery Mode and restore it via iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.

How do I update my iPod 3rd generation to iOS 5 so I can get iCloud

How do I update my iPod 3rd generation to iOS 5 so I can get iCloud? My MacBook is out of commission right now so I can't do it that way and I have a thousand songs on my iPod I would like to put on iCloud to transfer to my iPad. How can I make this happen?

Are you sure you really do not have a 2G iPod? Those can only go to 4.2.1
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

Disabled because you forgot the passcode?
You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
This will tell you how to restore
iTunes: Backing up, updating or restoring iOS software
If you cannot restore that way, you may have to use recovery mode
iPad: Unable to update or restore

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

How to put my apple tv 3rd generation into DFU mode

I tried the way that I google on the internet which only plug the micro USB into the apple tv and connect it to the PC, but I don't see the light flashing at all. and my apple TV is on software 5.0(4099) version. And then I plug the power cord as well and open iTunes, the iTunes can recognize the apple TV and everything seems working fine inside the iTunes. So I believe the USB cable is working fine.
Have anyone put your apple TV 3 into DFU mode before?

Hi!
I´m sorry i dont have a solution to your problems because i have the very same problem.
My Apple Tv (3rd gen) freezes in menu and i cant restore it in iTunes (Error 1611).
So i´ve heard that you should put your device in DFU mode, and apparently its really easy for 2nd gen, but for some reason, no-one knows how to do it in 3rd gen, not even Apple support!!
Why does it have to be so hard? i mean it should be as easy as for the 2nd gen. I hope someone answers to this thread.

I have 3rd generation iPad retina and it seriously overheats?

I have I pad 3rd generation retina display and purchased this after 2nd generation was stolen and found overseas (had no home insurance) as recently was going through a bad 24 year marriage divorce and had to stop working a month later due to illness cancer. I had to use last of savings to replace my sons iPad. As I was ill I did not really use the new I pad for at least six months my son who it belongs to was 11 years old and as I put it in leather case and had rules about charging whilst using iPad ( meaning He Was Not Allowed To USE whilst on charge) I did not notice the problem in the beginning although after that noticed iPad 3 seriously heated whilst charging and also prolonged use this has became more and more of a problem lately to the stage where you can't use it for more than 20 mins without actually hurting your hands. My granddaughter who owns her own iPad 2 picked up my iPad recently what was charging in my sons bedroom without a case or cover and she got that much of a shock when she picked it up that dropped it and cracked the screen. Apart from that her eight finger tips were red and on one hand tiny blisters were apparent on two fingers surely this is a problem. And as not in warranty this does should not affect my statuary rights as a consumer under consumer laws can anyone help ?

Hi Mich10,
Your situation is definitely a problem, you have my sympathies. I can pretty much be sure that Apple will at least want to hear about this. I don't know what they will do but any iPad that overheats enough to burn someone they want to know about.
Contact Apple using www.apple.com/support/contact if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the iPad in to an Apple retail store or service provider. Tell them exactly what happend. Apple is always concerned about the safety of their customers.

Ipod Touch (3rd generation) connection to a TV

Can anyone tell me how to connect my Ipod Touch (3rd generation) model A1318 to a TV to display YouTube and Video?
The Apple Store have advised me that they don't have a cable that will do this but to use a third party one with third party software from Itunes.
Thanks,
Steve.

There is no special software. You just need apps that support TV out. Just not that TV out does not mirror the iPod's screen.
You do not need a dock, just the cable. From the link I provided:
A dock can be a welcome addition if you're going to keep your cables connected to the TV. The Apple Universal Dock includes an Apple Remote so you can pause and adjust the volume from a distance

I just bought a used macbook pro i5 13.3 inch 3rd generation...how can i reformat and bring it back to its orginal state?

how can i reformat it ans start using it normly

The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
1. If you don't own another Mac
a. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
b. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received those media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
c. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
d. Some models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you may not be able to reinstall 10.6 even from the original discs, and Internet Recovery may not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
2. If you do own another Mac
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
3. Partition and install OS X
a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
          OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
          The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
          You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
4. Other issues
a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like.

How do I setup my Time Capsule (3rd Generation) to be accessed from the internet while I'm traveling?

How do I setup my Time Capsule (3rd Generation) to be accessed from the internet while I'm traveling? It is installed on my home network behind my TWC broadband router.

Ok.. since the TWC modem is also a router.. all configuration takes place on this box.. NONE whatsoever takes place on the TC.
There is no airport utility 7.7.3 but there is a firmware of that number for the latest AC model TC..
Is it tall like this.
Then it is Gen5.
otherwise it will have a firmware.. 7.6.4 or earlier and the airport utility must be 6.3 or earlier.
Open the Airport utility and give us a screenshot of the summary page.
That will also help us determine that you have the TC, which version and how it is setup.
You might want to press the edit and also give us the Internet and Network tab as they should be set correctly as well.
I have created a DDNS through DYN.com although I am not sure how to implement this into the TC.
You do not do anything in the TC.. set it up in the Ubee router.
Port forward 548 to the TC in the Ubee router.
And make sure the TC has a static IP in the Ubee router.
Overall if you find this too hard I strongly recommend you buy a product designed for remote access .. eg WD MyCloud.. they are cheap and easy peasy to setup for remote access.. by PC or Mac and since it is built outside of Apple you not bound up in Apple limitations built into all their equipment to prevent you using it the way you want.. rather than apple want you too.. eg BTMM and iCloud being the only way apple provide for access to the TC and only when it is the main router of the network.
You are fighting hard because Apple made this hard.. not easy.

How can I determine if my Ipod Touch 8gb is a 2nd or 3rd generation?

I purchased a MacBook Pro in September when they were having the special where you could get an Ipod Touch 8 gb for free.
Well, I have decided to keep my old Ipod Touch just b/c it is working fine and I would like to sell my new one. The new one is in the original packaging and I don't want to remove it so I can sell it as new, never been out of the box.
My question is how can I tell if this is a 2nd or 3rd generation Ipod Touch? I looked on my invoice and couldn't figure it out. I noticed on CL and EBay, everyone indicates 2nd or 3rd and I want to have the correct info.
I am "guessing" it is 2nd generation and that is why it was part of the promotion.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks so much.

That isa correct, the 8 GB is still 2nd Gen. The only ones that are any different are the 32 or 64 GB versions. This is a 2nd Gen iPod.
