HT4972 Is the update compatible with 3rd Generation Ipod Touch

Hello Im JS.Is the update compatible with 3rd Generation Ipod Touch. Thank You have a nice day.

What update?
iOS 5 is compatible with a 3G (as well as 4G) iPod. However, if you are stuck with 4.2.1 that indicates that you really have a 2G iPod. those can only go to 4.1.2. See:
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.

  • Are QR Code Reader Apps compatible with 3rd Generation IPod Touch?, Are QR Code Reader Apps compatible with 3rd Generation IPod Touch?

    Looking to use in my classroom purely for QR Code Readers. Hoping 3rd Generation are compatible for expense reasons, thank you!

    Thank you. I am looking at the apps I want to use... some say only gen 4 and 5, some just say IPod Touch with no generation listed. A better question might be, is there a QR Code Reader app available that is compatible with 3rd Gen. IPod Touch?

  • HT4972 I am attempting to update the software on my 3rd generation ipod touch using itunes.  I understand I must erase and restore everything first.  Must I do this with my ipod plugged in to my pc?

    I am attempting to update the software on my 3rd generation ipod touch. I understand I need to erase and restore my device first.  Must I do this with it plugged into my pc? 

    All you have to do is connect the iPod to our computer and update via iTunes. You do not have to seperately erase and restore the iPod. That is done automatically as part of the update process.
    To update see:
    iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
    You need iTunes 10.5 or later on the computer. Y will go to iOS 5.1.1. the last update fopr the 3G

  • How do I transfer purchases from my new iPad to my 3rd generation iPod touch?

    I bought a couple albums on my new iPad. I went to transfer the purchases onto my 3rd generation iPod touch but, even signed into my iTunes account, it seems to have no idea there were any purchases. It will, however, show obviously purchased items on my iPod but that's it. I have easily transferred items from my iPod touch to my iPad and the iTunes on my PC but cannot get it to go from my iPad to the iPod. I'm thinking I might need to update iTunes on my iPod but I'm not sure how to do that, if that's even the issue. 

    You can redownload iTunes purchases directly to an iDevice by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    With iTunes 10.3 or later and iOS 4.3.3 or later, you can download your previous purchases directly to your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or computer.
    Otherwise you will have to do it via iTunes:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    then sync with iTunes.

  • I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list.

    I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list. I've confirmed the mac address is included on that list and that the password is correct. Under choses netwrok I select the network and it just goes into a spin. I have tried removing the password and the access list settings and it still will not complete the connection to the router thus no internet access. The routers firmware is also up to date. This thing worked fine before this update and I've already tried to restore from backup. Any ideas or is the wifi nic bad in this thing with the new apple firmware update? Any fix?

    Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

  • HT1353 I just purchased a 3rd generation Ipod Touch and the latest software is iOS 4.2.1 and I'd like to download some Apps (facebook, words with friends, etc.), but they all need iOS 5. Help!

    I just purchased a used 3rd generation Ipod Touch and the latest software is iOS 4.2.1 and I have been trying to download apps (Facebook, Words w/Friends, etc.), but they all say I need to have iOS 5. Help!

    Here are some tools to search for compatible apps (The first one is my recommendation).
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    I personally havent looked for any clones of Words With Friends, but I bet you can find something.
    Here are a couple apps which say they are compatible with Facebook:
    Chatnow for Facebook
    Friends Planet 2
    Quickly for Facebook with Video Chat

  • Do you know of any kids games apps compatible with 2nd generation iPod?

    Do you know of any kids games apps compatible with 2nd generation iPod? wanted to put some kids games on but they all say they are not supported by iOS 4.2.1. which is the latest ios it can be updated to. I get the message This app requires openGL ES 2.0 graphics capability. Can you tell me if there are any games I could download for him please?
    If there aren't can you tell me if an ipod touch 3rd generation would be able to get alot of the current games like the lego ones and angry birds or which generation I would have to go to.
    Many Thanks

    - These sites allow you to filter searchs for those apps compatible with 4.2.1
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    - However, some apps currently in th app require a higer iOS version. But, as I posint out in my previous reply, Apple allows yo to downlod the last compatilbe version
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
    I know of no list/seach method to find those apps

  • TS1398 my 3rd generation ipod touch recently lost wifi capabilities. I reset the network settings... this did not help.  I did a complete reset, I now no longer have the Safari icon on my itouch.  Has Apple removed wifi on older models to force new purcha

    I recently lost wifi capabilities on my 3rd generation ipod touch.  I reset the network which did nothing so I did a complete reset.  This actually removed the Safari icon off my itouch and still wifi is completely grayed-out.  Has Apple removed the wifi capabilities to force the purchase of new items?
    I find it completely disturbing that only recently has this become an issue for 3rd generation itouch users.
    Can someone please help as I am exceptionally frustrated
