Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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 another cable
- 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.

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. -
The lock and volume button's no longer work on my iPod Touch 3rd Generation?
I've had my iPod Touch 3rd generation for about two years now, and have had hardly any problems with it... but now the lock button on the top of the ipod and the volume control button on the side of my ipod no longer work. Because the lock button won't work, I cannot reset my iPod. What can I do to fix this?
Assuming that this is not a hardware problem have you tried restoring your iPod? If that does not work then the only thing may be to take it in for repair.

I have an iPod touch 3rd generation with IOS 4.2.1 and the newest version of iTunes. However, when I press "check for updates" it says that IOS 4.2.1 is the current version. How do I update?
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

We have an ipod touch, 3rd generation, 8GB. we lost the unlock code. we now try recovery via itunes, but can't connect to the ipod software update server. any suggestions?
Update Server
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
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem -
i recently got an ipod touch 3rd generation, i cannot seem to get it connected to the internet... it connects to the router but cannot seem to get connected to the internet, it seems to connect to the router for a very short while and then suddenly disconnect again, i have tried various solutions but cant seem to solve it, this seems to be a common problem as i have seen many complaints on other forums, many say it may be the dns server . please can any one help?
Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings.
See if that helps.
If not try the iPod touch - Wi-Fi Troubleshooting Assistant. -
The backlight on my ipod touch 3rd generation will not come on, but everything else is working fine I even took the tech support advice by plugging it in and resetting it, but that didn't fix the issue either. I need help.
If not this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
Also heating sometimes works. See:
Why can't I select my wifi settings?
A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

Then:
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? See other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- 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.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

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.
GM: gross mismanagement
I suppoose jailbreaking would be a GM! -
Does the ipod touch 3rd generation not support games?
I recently purchased an ipod touch 3rd generation for my granddaughter. We loaded music onto it with some difficulty but have been unable to load games. Am I doing something wrong or does this unit not support games??
Yes.
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
Also are yo sure yo have a 3G?
A 3G goes to iOS 5.1.1 while a 2G only goes to iOS 4.2.1
