I have an IPod Touch 3rd generation 8 gb, is there any way besides jailbreaking that I can get IOS 4.3.?

You do not have a 3rd gen 8Gb iPod Touch. There is no such thing - really, truely, double true, extra double protected true. {lllaass, back me up here}
Jailbreaking cannot be discussed on Apple forums., except to point you to the following article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743 which will let you know why Apple strongly cautions against "jailbreaking".
You could sell your current iPod and buy a new one, which will be able to use iOS 5.

I suppoose jailbreaking would be a GM!

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

Without knowing current status of the iPod:
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.

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers

I have an iPod touch, 3rd generation, and when I push the button to put it to sleep, my iPod takes a screen shot. It's really annoying. Is this a result from updating to iOS 4.3.3? Also, my screen is EXTREMELY sensitive-breathe on it and it turns on.

- Are you also having problems with the Home button? Maybe it is sticking a little since to take a screen shot you depress the Home and Power/Sleep buttons at the same time.
- I have not seen your problem discussed here before.
- I would first try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next would be to restore the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

HT3648 I have an iPod touch 3rd generation. I would like to test it with talk to text for my deaf mother. I have downloaded the dragon program but I need an external microphone. Can you help?

Hello,
I think my iPod touch is a 3rd generation. It is a 4.2.1 Version, 8 GB.
My 89 year old mother has totally lost her hearing. I would like to experiment with my ipod touch to see if an ipod is what she could use in her assisted living arrangement.
My ipod does not have an internal microphone as far as I can tell.
I see on the internet that I can purchase an external microphone.
I do not want a headset microphone just an external microphone where someone could speak into when the dragon app is on and it will transfer talk to text for her to read.
Can someone help me: a) do you think this will work.
b) what do I have to do to make it work.
Thank you.
Yours truly,
anetatsk

If y can't make a backup then you will either have to:

Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
