I know iPod Touch 3rdGen did not get iOS 6, but why are half my apps no longer compatible?

I just synchronized my iPod Touch 3rd Gen with iTunes and approx half my apps that I purchased or downloaded are no longer compatible with my device. What is up with that? I understand that I will never get iOS6, but I want my purchased apps to keep working.. What the ****?

My ipod touch 4 gen is showing headphones in but they are not

My ipod touch 4 gen is showing headphones in but they are not.plz help me

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- 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
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

Will ipod touch 4th generation ever get iOS 7

will ipod touch 4th generation ever get iOS 7

iOS 6.1.3 is the latest version of iOS available for your iPod touch. Whether there will be any further updates to iOS 6 for the fourth-generation iPod touch no one here can say, but if there are they will almost certainly be bug fixes only.
Regards.

Help! I have a flickering white screen but I can still turn on my IPod Touch! It is a white flickering but the bottom half of the screen is unseeable. How do I fix it?

IPod Touch Install will not get past "Free Find My iPod Touch" Help..

I have just got an iPod Touch for Christmas, and after attempting to install it to my iTunes, I have found a problem. I have tried to install this iPod, but it has gotten "Stuck" at a strange place in the setup. I will copy and past the page below.

Find My iPhone (or iPad or iPod touch) enables you to locate your iPad with Wi-Fi or iPod touch only when it is on and connected to a registered Wi-Fi network. Find My iPhone is not available in all countries.
When trying to click on any of the links, they do not seem to work at all, which is really bugging me. All I want to do is use my new iPod Touch, which I currently cannot do.
Also, the page i pasted above is NOT in the correct iTunes style/format, and there is no Search Bar above it, etc. It is just a blank page with exactly what I pasted.
Please help me, I would be forever grateful.

My iphone works!!! But it wasn't from rebooting (although rebooting gave me the idea to try Plan B, so thx very much for inspiration). I rebooted several times and nothing happened. Then, I decided to download the FindMyiPhone app (in case that had something to do with it). I downloaded the app from the app store on my iphone--NOT through itunes on my computer. (Tried that and failed).
After I downloaded the app, I had to go into iphone Settings "Mail, Contacts.." and key in my Mobile Me info. (Also, make sure Push notifications is ON; this is also in Settings) Next, I enabled bluetooth and then tried to connect to our wifi home network. As soon as iphone "discovered" the home network, I opened itunes, and the first screen asked me how I wanted to set up my phone.Yippie!
I don't know if the FindMyiPhone app had anything to do with it or if the iphone just wanted me to key in all of the MobileMe/itunes account stuff, so you'll have to figure out that one for yourself. I would be willing to bet, though, that this process will work with ipods as well as iphones.
Now, if I can just get rid of this splitting headache...

IPod touch 3g will not wifi sync... why?

I recently updated to iOS5, not without its hassles, I might add. I now have 2 major problems.
The first one is whatever I do, I cannot wirelessly sync my iPod touch 3g... even though I've reinstalled iTunes (verison 10.5.0.142) and Bonjour too... and manually configured the services so they can get to the open router and also get through Windows Firewall, but still, the inbound connection must be blocked somehow as the iPod is waiting to see if my computer is "available"... I have seen many threads about this, and I know it is not just me that's having this problem.
Secondly, all the songs on my iPod (the ones that iTunes actaully lets me sync...) are all in the wrong order alphabetically in the music app... to give you an example, under the letter T in artists, I have Led Zeppelin, Nirvana and Metallica. Granted, Metallica has a T in it, but this not exactly what this menu is supposed to do...
Any solutions would greatly be appreciated.

I got it to work using a different method... but I shall post it here to help everyone else.
Uninstall every trace of iTunes and Bonjour (if your on windows). Then do a registry clean, making sure missing links is checked... then reinstall iTunes, sync your iPod once, and then it will appear in iTunes
This is the registry cleaner I use.

The other day at school i had lost/stolen ipod touch i had signed up with apple but i havent download the app (find my iphone) is there any way i can find out when my ipod touch gets connected to a wifi and track it

how do u track an ipod touch when its connected to a wifi and how do u find out when its your stolen ipod touch is connected

If you set up the Find My iPod service prior to the iPod going missing - the app is for tracking an iOS device from another iOS device - then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPod is turned on, connected to a WiFi network, and has not had the Find My iPod service disabled). Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section. Note, though, that you'll only get the location of the WiFi router to which the iPod is connected; there's no way to pinpoint the exact location of the iPod itself.
If you did not set up Find My iPod, then there is no way to track it. Notify the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPod (the iTunes Store, for instance).
Regards.

IPod Touch 3rd Generation not Recognized by iTunes but recognized by Windows as "Apple iPod"

Exactly what the title says. My iTunes will not recognize my iPod touch, but my Windows Vista will recognize it with autoplay. I updated iTunes about 10 minutes ago, tried two different apple wires, and 3 different USB ports that work. Can anyone help me fing a solution? I found the iPod Touch assistant thing and tried all of those steps but the problem recurred. Thank you in advance!

I have the same problem. My Iphone 4s works fine when docked to PC. PC won't recognize my 3rd Gen Nano. Same goes for my Work PC. They don't recognize it nor will plugging it in to a PC charge it. I have to plug it into wall socket to charge.
I have tried resetting, I have tried downloading newest Itunes.
Must be the Nano itself if it doesn't get recognized by mutliple PCs?
I haven't used the Nano for probably 2 months. Previously it worked fine...
One thing, when docked to my laptop during a reboot/startup, it intially starts to charge the Nano, but once setup is finished it doesn't recognize it any longer...

Ipod touch 5th gen, not showing on device but are on itunes

Hi,
I have a 5th gen Ipod touch 64GB and when you connect it to my PC and bring up the list of music on my device on itunes, it shows albums which are not appearing on the actual device itself when its not connected to the computer. Can anyone explain this?
How do you turn off automatic sync because it seems to only show the songs which are on my itunes library on the PC which is useless to be honest.
Thanks,
Skerfy5.

If not the U2 album then
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I recently updated my iphone software to 6.0.1 and my ringtones did not get added back to the phone. I have connected my phone to my pc to sync but when I click to sync, it does nothing. How can I get my ringtones back on my phone?

I recently updated my iphone software to 6.0.1 and my ringtones did not get restored. The ringtones are lised in my library but I can't get them added to my phone. When I click on the button to sync my phone, it does nothing.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try unchecking the tones and syncing, then re-checking them and syncing again.

I know iPod Touch 3rdGen did not get iOS 6, but why are half my apps no longer compatible?
