  • Is this ipod touch 2nd or 3rd Generation, and what is the difference?

    Hi,
    Could anyone tell me if this ipod touch 2nd or 3rd Generation, and what is the difference?
    http://www.johnlewis.com/230690655/Product.aspx
    & also would this sleeve fit this ipod model?

    Thanks.
    P.s.
    I'm hoping to get this soon so would be really appreciative of
    your responses.

    There is no hardware difference between what people refer to as a "second-generation" and "third-generation" 8GB iPod touch. The only difference is the version of OS included. Since the site says it's "new" I would presume it's the version with the 3.x version of the OS, but I'd suggest confirming with John Lewis.
    As to the case, I don't believe there's any difference in the physical specs between the 2nd-gen and 3rd-gen hardware, so any case that fits one should fit the other.
    Regards.

    Are you sure you have a 4g/3g iPod?   If you don't have a camera, it's definitely not 4G.  If it has no camera and is 8 or 16 Gb it is a 2G and can't go beyond 4.2.1. 

  • Since updating to iOS 6, my 4th gen iPod touch, and my 3rd gen iPad has sound in and out. Sometimes it's on, and then all of a sudden, no sound. I've tried everything from restarting to fully resetting each one starting fresh, but nothing. Please help.

    I have exactly the same problem. I have tried almost everything and I am nowhere near an Apple shop as I am working in Africa.
    Did you manage to find a solution? Help please if possible. Regards Az

    You can try contacting apple customer service http://www.apple.com/contact but usually all app purchases are final and not refundable.

  • Ipod touch 2nd and 3rd refurb

    hey guys,
    around when do you think the 3rd gen. refub will come out?
    m planning to buy a 2nd gen refurb and i was wondering if the price will go down if the 3rd gen. refurb will show up..
    thanks

    No one could answer that for you. Considering the 3rd gen is less than a month old it will probably take some time for refurb ones to appear. All you can do is keep checking.

  • My ipod touch (2nd or 3rd generation) randomly went black.

    It will not do anything. I tried resetting it by holding the power button and home button. That didnt do anything. I tried connecting it to itunes and nothing. Is there anything else I can try?

    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.

  • Can ipod touch 2nd and 3rd generation have a new battery put in? if so whats the cost?

    please help

    Depends on whether you have Apple do the job or a third party repair company (which is usually a little less).   Here are Apple's repair quotes.

  • Please help.... do I have a 2nd or 3rd gen iPod touch?

    I bought an iPod Touch for my father in February from an Amazon seller (happybook1). I ordered a 3rd generation iPod Touch on purpose because I don't have Snow Leopard OS and I wanted to be able to plug it into my OS 10.4 computer.
    Yesterday my father decided to bite the bullet and asked me to upgrade his iPod Touch from iOS 3.1 to iOS 4.1. However, when I tried it kept freezing (not the issue here). I wen't to apple.com and put the serial number into their warranty section and it said the iPod is a 2nd generation iPod!!!!!!!!!
    Here is the serial number 9C035RM475J
    Angrilly, I wrote the Amazon seller and insisted she give me a refund.... I couldn't believe she had sold me a 2nd generation iPod!! But she immediately responded with this:
    Thank for your e-mail, the ipod I sent you is considered the 3rd gen, its part number MC086ll/A  is the part number matches amazons listing category for the 3rd gen.  You can find this part number on the bottom of the box as well as under settings.
    The part number for the 2nd gen. touch is MB528LL/A.  The model MC086ll/a does show in apples website as a 2nd gen because the only difference between the two is that the 3rd gen. model MC086ll/a came preloaded with the iphone 3.1 software and the second gen. didn't.  So apple changed the part numbers and the software from the 2nd to the 3rd but it will show as a second in their website, there is no touch that shows as a 3rd gen in apples website.
    Apple can verify this with you if you call them but I just wanted to explain why it shows that way in there site, but I did list it in Amazons 3rd gen. category because it is listed by the part number and they categorize it as a 3rd.
    So I just wanted to let you know I didn't list it wrong you can check it by the part numbers in Amazon.  Apple is up to 4.2 software version now so it will prompt you to update the software anyway when you connect it so you should have the lastet software.  Is the ipod working ok now that you updated.
    Now I'm confused.... do I have a 3rd gen or is this seller just lying her pants off??
    I was able to restore the software into 4.1 but it is sluggish..... I'm thinking because it is really a 2nd gen with a slower processor?
    Can someone please help me to figure out the truth?? Should I insist she refund me (though she probably won't) or accept this answer as the truth? Does it make a difference... the difference between 2nd adn 3rd gen?
    Please help... thanks!!

    Look at the back of the iPod. What model number is actually shown on the unit? And what is the capacity of the unit? If it's an 8GB iPod touch it's a second-generation, regardless of what your seller is claming. Apple never made a 3rd-generation 8GB iPod touch. Some resellers incorrectly refer to the 8GB with iOS 3 as "3rd generation", but that was never a designation approved by Apple."3rd-generation" properly only applies to the 32GB and 64GB iPods Apple released in September 2009, models which have faster hardware. 
    Regards.

  • Ipod Touch 2nd Gen screen is cracked!

    I had my Ipod Touch 2nd Gen for 6 and a half months. Yesterday, I sitting at my computer and I heard something fall. I turn to find out it was my ipod touch. I lifted up, not seeing the crack. I put noticed it when I put it in the light. Its one big one and then three long, but small ones. I did my research to see what I can do. Apple doesn't cover accidental. I know that. I was check around websites. Is it worth getting the screen fixed? Or should I just get a new one? I asked my family and they can't give me a answer.

    It depends on how much it costs to get it fixed. If it is a good bit of money to pay for a fix, then you might want to get a new 3rd Gen. They have faster performance.
