HT4623 my ipod touch is 3rd generation.

My ipod touch is 3rd generation. I have done all the erase and restore things in the article and it still is  using ios 4.2.1. It does not have a button that says software update that i can find and the computer did not update it.  What can i do?

This may indicate you have a 2nd generation. Please check the model number on the back and post back. If it is A1288, it is a 2nd gen.

  • When i plug in my ipod touch (8gb, 3rd generation) it doesn't turn on and the apple logo flashes on and off. how can i stop it and turn on my ipod??????

    when i plug in my ipod touch (8gb, 3rd generation) it doesn't turn on and the apple logo flashes on and off. before this it wouldn't turn on unless it was plugged in.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My ipod touch 8gb 3rd generation keeps dropping wifi.  I hate to reset since i've downloaded all of my itunes directly to my ipod.  Help!

    My ipod touch 8gb 3rd generation keeps dropping wifi.  Doesn't matter where I am - happend ALL the time.  Almost useless now except for all of my songs!   We don't have any other problems with other computers in our house.  I have downloaded all of my songs from itunes directly to my ipod (I know, I wish I hadn't) so I hate to reset or I will lose them all.  I have never downloaded any updates (I know, I know!) so could this be my problem? How do I find downloads and what do I need?  Please help if you can!

    The reset may help with the WiFi issue, but you'll have to do the reset to be sure. It does seem to cure a wide variety of issues. At some point you should be connecting the iPod to your computer/iTunes account, otherwise you risk losing all of your music and other content if you have a problem with your iPod.

  • HT4623 my IPod Touch is a generation 3 with a camera and when i go into my settings and try to do what the instructions on your website say but in general i only have About and then the rest of the bars but i don't have one that says Software Update

    my Ipod Touch is a generation 3 with a camera and when i go into the settings to look for the Software Update bar i don't have one

    If you have cameras then you have  4G iPod. To update connect to your computer and update via iTunes
    iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
    - A 4G to 6.1.5  Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

  • Can I download IOS 6 to my ipod touch o 3rd generation?

    I can't download IOS 6 to my ipod 3rd generation... and so many aplications needs of this system...
    anybody knows if I can download IOS 6 to my IPOD TOUCH 3rd generation?

    No, you can't. You may be able to get compatible application versions by downloading the current ones to a computer, signing into the iTunes Store with the same Apple ID on the device, and trying to download them there.

  • ITunes and iPod touch 8gb 3rd generation

    I had downloaded some songs to my iPod from iTunes and then something happened when I was syncing the iPod and the computer and now some of the songs are gone off of the music list in my music app on my iPod. I tried to redownload them and it said I had already bought those songs and asked if I wanted to continue. I said no because I have paid for them already and hated to pay for them again if I did. Is there a way to get them back? <edited by host>

  • New Ipod Touch V 3rd Generation Ipod Touch

    Hi, We have just received TWO 32G Ipod Touch's as Christmas presents for our two children, by post yesterday, I now see that a new model has been announced yesterday! The ones we purchased are still sealed and unopened, my question is that the new one although good, as it has a camera and face time etc does this mean that as a 32G new model this will hold less music, movies and photos as the ones we just purchased? We are unsure whether to send them back or just keep them. Thank you for any advice posted.

    Thank you Sirius, What bad timing getting two delivered and seeing the new one announced on the Apple site! We shall send them back, though there will be very very few people who they can chat to in Facetime that they know as most of their friend's have the older model, can you also assist with this question, does the older model allow you to invite a friend and play aa game against each other via WiFi, or is this just available on the new model?
    Thank you in advance.

  • Need to sync calendars between two iPod touchs,  8GB 3rd Generation

    I use Microsoft Works on my PC and iTunes does not recognize the Works calendar. Therefore I use the iPod's Apps calendar. I recently purchased an identical iPod for my wife and can't find a way to sync the calendars between the two iPods.

    I think you can sync both of them to the same Google Calendar account when you have WiFi access. See this: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740&cbid=riutrlst6g 98&src=cb&lev=answer

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

  • Wireless connection to ipod touch 8G 2nd generation

    I may have to use a different wireless router, (which could be one which uses wireless n), as i am having to change my broadband service provider. So can anyone advise me what wireless does the ipod touch 8G 2nd generation use (ie wireless b/g/n etc) & are they compatible with wireless n/wireless routers, or is wireless n backwards compatible/generic etc with all other wireless/devices.
    THANKS

    All the iPod Touch models are b/g except for the newest 4th generation which is finally now "n"..
    Yes, they are backwards compatible.

  • I'm trying to restore my iPod and the update says it's going to take 9 hours and then after 2 hours or less it will say something about "unable to finish update." Why is this?? My iPod is a 3rd generation that I got from my brother.
