i have an ipod touch 3rd gen.I used the function of erasing all contents and settings and now i am stuck with this screen showing the apple logo and the loading sign for the past 17 hours.CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hold down the on/off button and the home button for 20 to 30 sec, when the iPod starts and the Apple logo is on the screen release the on/off button but continue to hold the home button until you see the plug into iTunes screen. Connect the iPod to iTunes and you should be good to go.

IPod touch 3rd gen spinning wheel plus home button doesn't work. How to fix?
I have an iPod touch 3rd gen that is stuck on the Apple logo and also has that spinning of wheel death thing. I am trying to enter into DFU mode but won't work due to the home button not working. Is there any other way I can fix this and make it boot back up regularly?
Try here:
fix for Home button
Fix a broken, unresponsive or sticky iPhone Home Button
See if using thies program will get the iPod in recovery mode so you can restore the iPod

If not let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least for an hour try again.
If you can update to iOS 5 and the Home button sill does not work yu can turn on the Assistive Touch Accessibility feature. See chapter 30 of the Users Guide.

IPod Touch 3rd gen stuck in the middle of 5.1.1 download?
I started a remote software (5.1.1 I believe) update on my iPod touch 3rd gen (through the settings), but I am on vacation and do not have access to my own iTunes account to plug in to for another two weeks. Now my iPod is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen and I've tried restarting it and everything and it just won't budge. How do I cancel the installation and get it off the screen?
- Yes when you go home you can restore from backup.
- You can also restore now. If you have no iCloud backup you can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
and at least have some use of the iPod now. When you get home you can restore from your backup -
I made a mistake of trying to put 5.0.1 beta 1 firmware on my ipod touch 3rd gen ( non-registered) unsuccessfully. Now the ipod doesn't work at all with any public firmware. Any suggestions?
You can try putting the iPod into Recovery Mode and restoring it:

If that doesn't work, you'll need to take this up in the forums to which you have access as a member of Apple's iOS developer program.

There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.

IPod Touch 3rd Gen not playing the selected songs - What's the problem?
Tried to play songs by selecting them but iPod Touch is overriding the selected songs with other songs and displaying those instead. This happens in all my Playlists. Jsut wondering if anyone else has ever encountered this and what is the suggested resolution? Last time I used iTunes, I did switch on the Genius DJ - unsure if this has caused the irregularities now? Help!
I have just posted a similar problem.(5/11/2011). Did you get it resolved?

Can any one help me find my photos and albums???
Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your device until you delete them. When you reconnect to photo stream you only get back photos from the last 30 days. Only camera roll photos are included in the backup. To save your photo stream photos be sure to save them to your camera roll so they are backed up.
Photo albums will only be restored if they contain photos from the camera roll. If they were folders synced to your device from your computer that will not be restored, but will be recreated when you sync with iTunes. If they were albums that only contained photo stream photos they would also not be restored. -
I have a Canon MF4350d. The scan roller at the top feed has just stopped working. What to do?
I have a Canon MF4350d. This morning the paper feed went on the blink. It takes paper half way, then starts cruching it and stops for both scan and copy mode. Tried two different weights of paper, same thing. The scan/copy from the plate works ok. How do I repair the feeder? Thanks - Teri
Hello teri!
If the scan roller stopped feeding, it sounds like the imageCLASS MF4350D may need the ADF cleaned. Try the Knowledge Base article below:

If this doesn't fix the issue, you might want to contact Technical support directly. You can get more help through This Link.
Hope this helps! -

Sorry, but Apple never referred to any 8GB iPod touch as "3rd generation". Some dealers erroneously did, but not Apple. You must be misremembering or you misread the information presented at the time.

itunes says that the version of software on my ipod touch 3rd gen is up to date, but IOS 5 is avaliable. I have checked for software updates for days but it keeps saying that 4.2.1 is the current version. Why cant i get IOS 5?

because you do not have a 3rd generation device. The OS Version says so , otherwise you would be at 4.3.5 minimum and also Itunes is also always correct in determining if you have the latest OS ( if not it fetches the newest from Apple's Servers ) . And because a 2nd generation iPod stops at 4.2.1 you can't get the newest OS, because your device is old. Buy a new iPod , they have iOS5 preinstalled. -
after i erased whole data from the ipod touch 3rd gen. when i put back to sync it. it says in the windows connect to itunes, which i did,i also installed new itunes but still it doesnt recognise . pls help me if u have gone thru same trouble like me
ThanksI do not understand what "it says in the windows connect to itunes" means?
What is "it" and what is "windows"?
Maybe:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Also see:
iPod not recognised by windows iTunes

- Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem -
I have a Macpro Book and I just downloaded new software to my ipod touch(3rd gen). Now it does not show up in itunes nor does it turn on. I believe it just downloaded the software and never updated it. What do I do?
You appear to have a second generation iPod touch, not a third, and those can't be updated past 4.2.1. Apple sold 8GB second generation models at the same time as the third generation ones.
