I have a 3G iPod touch and it won't update anymore and the apps I need needs the update what should I do ?

Have a 3G iPod touch and I have apps I need but needs a new update and I can't go any further updates. Wondering what I can do?

A 3rd gen iPod touch can run up to iOS 5.1.1.  If the apps you need require a later version of iOS, you will need a newer iPod touch.
The 4th gen model, which is still available on Apple Store's refurb ("Special Deals") page can run up to iOS 6.1.3.  The current 5th gen model can run the current iOS 7.x.

    - 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 the 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.

  • HT1363 i have an 8GB ipod touch, it's pretty old now. I've recently tried to reset the whole device as it is being given to someone else and it only comes up with the apple logo and then the screen turns off again. none of the above is helping?

    I've recently tried reseting the whole Ipod and it came up with an on-screen message saying ''are you sure you want to reset the device? it will take up to an hour and no music or pictures will be restored'' so i clicked ''Yes, Rest'' (or what ever it said). I am now sitting here 24 hours later with an ipod that won't turn on.
    i have tried holding the 'power' button down along with the 'home' button for 30 seconds etc.. and nothing is working; it won't show up on Itunes niether the computer. why won't it turn on?

    If you did not try any items listed here, try them

  • IPod Touch 2nd generation won't turn on and won't show up under Devices on my iTunes.

    I was trying to restore my iPod touch because it was locking itself and flashing. When I tried to restore it, the iPod turned itself off completely and won't turn back on. I've tried pressing the lock button and the home button at the same time, and I can't do anything from my computer because my iPod isn't showing up under Devices or Computer. If I put it in the USB port it opens iTunes, but isn't showing that it's plugged in. I have used different USB cords, switched USB ports, and tried charging the iPod, but it still won't turn on. Please help!

    You should get it serviced, see your service options here:
    6. My iPod is not eligible for warranty service. What are my service options?
    Apple offers two options for iPods that are not eligible for warranty service (see below). You will need to provide credit card details for these services. If you do not have a credit card, please take your iPod to your local Apple Retail Store.
    iPod Out-of-Warranty Battery Replacement Program: If your iPod requires service only because the battery's ability to hold an electrical charge has diminished, you can have the battery replaced for a service fee by using the Online Service Assistant or at your local Apple Retail Store. Alternatively, you can contact Apple Technical Support.
    For more details, please refer to the iPod Out-of-Warranty Battery Replacement Program Frequently Asked Questions.
    Out-of-Warranty Service: If your iPod requires service for any other hardware failure that is determined by Apple to be repairable, Apple will service your iPod for the Out-of-Warranty Repair Service fee.
    If you want to set up your iPod for the Out-of-warranty service, we recommend that you take your iPod to a local Apple Retail Store. Alternatively, you can contact Apple Technical Support.
    Click here for pricing.
    If Apple determines that an iPod is not repairable, for example, if it has failed due catastrophic damage or the iPod has been disassembled into multiple pieces, then Out-of-Warranty Service is not available and the iPod will be returned. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details.

  • IPod Touch 5th Generation won't turn on and the home button is broken, followed the steps from another thread but it's still not working

    I have an iPod Touch 5th Generation with iOS 8.1, my home button is broken and I've been using AssistiveTouch for months now. Today I just locked my iPod and it wouldn't unlock again, it doesn't respond at all, it won't turn on. It was almost fully charged, so it's not the battery. I followed the steps from this thread, but I'm still getting the "USBMuxListenerCreate: No Error" message in CMD Prompt. I bought my iPod abroad and even though I do have the warranty, I've been told at the iStore that it's not valid here, so going to the store isn't really an option. Any ideas how to solve this?

    Sorry, but without a working home button it is not possible to reset or restore your device. You should visit an Authorized Appel Service Provider or Apple Store to get it serviced. The warranty for an iPod is not limited to the country where it has been bought, check here: one-year limited warranty
    Jailbraking the device will void the warranty.
    You can check the warranty status by inserting the serial number on this page: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    A list of Authorized Apple Service Providers can be found here: iPod touch - Contact Us - Apple Support

  • My iPod touch 4th generation won't turn on and when I plug it in to charge, it gets really hot. Is there a fix for this?

    More information: The iPod ran out of battery late thursday night and I plugged it in to charge. The charging symbol appeared but within 20 minutes, the ipod had gotten very hot and had gained no charge. It hasn't been dropped and it hasn't gotten wet. It's a year and a half old. I use an otterbox as a case, but this problem began three days ago, despite my having been using the brand of case for over a year. It's super important that I find a way to fix this. Help please?

  • My iPod touch (3rd generation) won't turn on and neither iTunes nor windows will recognize the device!

    Today my iPod touch (3rd gen) fell onto the floor and the screen turned black. It was almost put of battery anyways so I wasn't exactly worried.... But when I tried to turn it back on it wouldn't. It wouldn't hold a charge. I tried hooking it up to the computer and windows pops up a message like "cannot recognize device" and it doesn't show up at all on iTunes. I've tried holding down the both the home and power buttons for 9 seconds. I've tried to enter DFU mode. Nothing seems to work. I could really use some help because I DONT want to buy a new one and I'm definitely not under a warranty. HELP!!!!

  • My Ipod Touch 5th Generation won't connect to my laptop.  My phone however will. What can I do?

    My Ipod touch and phone will both charge when plugged into the wall.  My phone an iphone 4th generation will connect to my laptop.  I have uninstalled and installed itunes as well as checking the Apple USB Drive and neither has helped.  Not sure if it matters but my computer was recently updated to Windows 8.1.  Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do?  Thanks.

    Does it charge?
    What model iPhone and iOS connects?
    Do you have iTunes 12?
    If you are not using the same cable as the phone try another cable.
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My brand new iPod Touch has asked me to connect to iTunes multiple times so it can be restored, what should I do if it continues?

    It has happened twice now after only two days.  I connect it to iTunes and it restores, and then after some use it will start to react very differently and slow, not function properly.  Then when I restart it says it needs to connect to iTunes again and be restored.  If this happens again, what should I do?

    Some Data may have become corrupted and if you are Restoring from Backup it is being put back into your Device.
    try a Restore as New...

  • The screen on my iPhone 4 went black and randomly started vibrating nonstip for about 3 minutes. It has stopped and now won't turn on. Has anyone else had this problem? What should I do?

    I've tried to charge it and i've tried to reset it but it won't even connect to iTunes. Please help!

    Don't know why it happened, but if you can't enter the passcode, you'll have to restore the phone to remove it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.  If you're running iOS 7 with Find My iPhone enabled, you'll have to force it into recover mode to restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club

    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.
