I have a 3rd gen iPod touch that's acting up...Please help.

I have a 3rd gen iPod touch...I also have the most recent software update but when I have the iPod on shuffle it will skip past songs w/out playing any part of the song and it will randomly power itself off even when battery is more than 50%.  Help

I have tried all except the restore at this point.  Thought I would try here first

    Hi ChristianHelpplz,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It seems like your iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes on your Mac, but your iPhone 6 is working normally.
    I recommend starting with these steps to troubleshoot your iPod touch and connection with your Mac:
    Check your USB connections
    Unplug other USB devices from your Mac and try again.
    Try a different USB port.
    Try a different USB cable.
    Restart your device
    Restart your iOS device or reset your iPod.
    Restart your Mac
    Turn your Mac off and back on.
    Update your software
    Check for software updates on your Mac.
    Check for an iTunes update.
    Check your security software
    If you have security software installed, learn how to resolve issues between iTunes and your security software.
    From:
    If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
    If you've tried these steps and your iPod touch is still not recognized, try placing it into Recovery Mode next:
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

    I have a 3rd gen iPod touch and I downloaded the most recent itunes, ever since I did, only the first song syncs to the ipod. As soon as it gets to the second, it still says its syncing. However, nothing happens. How do I fix this? I have restored and updated the ipod. I have the new iTunes. I have restarted my computer checked the connection and everything.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - 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. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    I have a 4th gen iPod touch that won't power up! I tried all the traditional stuff. I want to know how to tell if the battery is good. itunes see's the ipod in recovery mode. Tried dfu mode and did not work. Any ideas? I can hear the PC beep when plugging it in! I suspect a bad battery and trying to charge it ina wall charger made it hot!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. The appointment is free.

  • I have an 1st gen Ipod touch that runs 3.1.3 IOS.

    1st Gen Ipod touch 3.1.3 ios. No apps will work on this ios is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks

    There are only a few apps currently available for the 1G iPod. There is no way to search for only compatible apps. You just have to look at the Requirements section of apps that interest you.
    The only real solution is to purchase a newer model iPod

  • I have a 3rd Gen Ipod Touch and it says connect to itunes but is not recognized by itunes. I have no other options. All that is on the display is the USB pic with an arrow pointing upward to the ITunes blue circle.

    I do not know the operating system and I have no backup on my PC.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Since you have chosen not to maintain a backup, Recovery Mode will result in complete loss of data.  Anything obtained from the iTunes Store can be downloaded again but everything else will be gone forever.

  • 3rd Gen Ipod touch. I want to start as new, not restore.

    I have a 3rd gen Ipod Touch that I want to delete everything and start as new, but it keeps wanted to restore.  The ipod touch was my sons, and I upgraded him to a 4.  I have an older ipod and I was hoping to upgrade to the touch, but it won't let me start new. Please help.  I have tried restoring, but it fails.  Is there a way to completely wipe it out so I can use it ??
    thanks.

    "I have a 3rd gen Ipod Touch that I want to delete everything and start as new"
    Yes.  That is called a restore.

  • 3rd-Gen Ipod Touch Overheating All the Time!

    I have a 3rd-Gen Ipod Touch, 32gb that I bought over a year ago. I've never had a problem with it before until about two weeks ago and it's concerning me quite a bit. Whenever I use it, within 5 minutes it becomes very hot, mostly on the bottom near where it charges. Within 10 minutes, the heat has spread throughout the whole device and has become so hot that I can no longer hold it. This happens all the time, not when it's charging. I'm worried that it will overheat to the point that I can no longer use it.
    Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way that I can fix this? Do I have to have the battery replaced or something?
    I appreciate any feedback, and thanks.

    Sounds like a bad battery. Search ebay, there are people who provide the replacement service for as low as $19.

  • Need help updating a 3rd Gen iPod Touch....

    I have a 3rd Gen iPod Touch running iOS4.1. I have an iMac G5 running OSX10.4.11. The iTunes version is 9.2.1. When I connect my iPod to my iMac and click 'Update' in iTunes it simply states 'You have the latest version of iTunes 9.2.1'. How can I update my iPod?
    Thanks in advance.

    You need to update the OSX on your computer. Going higher that 4.1 requires iTunes 10 or higher. iTunes 10 requires OSX 10.5.8 or higher.

  • 3rd gen iPod touch 32GB won't upgrade to 4.3.3

    We have a 3rd gen iPod Touch 32GB that has OS 4.1 on it and when we plug it into the computer (MB Pro running Tiger with iTunes 9.2.1) it syncs the ipod just fine.  When we go to the iPod screen though it says there's an update 4.3.3 available but when you click update it says that iTunes 9.2.1 is the current version and doesn't update the iPod.  Anyone have any clue on how to fix this or what is going on?

    Apple says:
    Cannot be restored. This device is not eligible for the requested build: If you receive this error, you likely do not have the latest version of iTunes installed. Check http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ for the latest available version of iTunes. If you do have the latest version of iTunes, this can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new IPSW. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported.

  • How to make 3rd gen ipod touch a remote for new appleTV

    I have a 3rd generation ipod touch that is updated to iOS 5.1.1 and want to know if I can use that as a remote for my new appleTV?

    Yes. you need this app
    https://itunes.apple.com/app/remote/id284417350?mt=8
    Since the app now requires iOS 7, try downloading a compatible version by:
    If you have iOS 4.2.1 or later on the iPod and there was version compatible with that version, then you should be able to get a compatible version by:
    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.
