IPod touch 3rd generation 8G? or 32G? Need your guidance!!
I am planning to get an iPod touch 3rd generation. Surfing web is my main use with it, I don't care about music, videos, app, and games. I am a little confused that which one I should choose between 8G and 32G version. 8G is cheaper obviously, but the processor and memory both are lower than 32G or 64G. I wanna know how slow to open web pages it is if comparing 8G with 32G? Is it very noticeable? Has somebody ever tried to test it? Thank you!!
You can purchase the latest generation Touches in 8, 32, and 64gig configurations. The 8gig doesn't have the updated, accelerated insides you'll find in the 32 and 64gig versions; it's more like a 2g. The 3g has notably faster wifi and slightly better game performance, and is claimed to be 50% faster than before. The 2g Touch is still a good value, and can be purchased as a refurb from the Apple Store will full warranty; it comes in 8, 16, and 32gig configurations, and will seem close to the 3g in most ways that matter.
If you're interested in a solid performer with good storage, the 8 and 16gig 2g may be worth looking into, and there are lots of excellent refurb units available available.

My iPod Touch 3rd Generation won't connect to iTunes. It keeps saying MobileDeviceService has encountered a problem and needs to close.How can I get it to work?
My iPod was working fine and then my oldest son put in a flash drive to download some music and now my iPod will not connect to iTunes.
Doublechecking something. Are you still back at SP2 for your XP? Or do you have SP3 in place? -
I just bought three apps that listed iPod touch 3rd generation under the "Requirements", but then when I went to sync those apps to my iPod touch 3rd generation, it said my iOS was out of date for them.
You obviously need to update your ios version on your ipod.

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.

IPod Touch 3rd generation not recognized in iTunes
I just recently upgraded my Macbook software to version 10.6.3 because I purchased an iPod shuffle and the newest version of iTunes would not install with my old software. Now my iPod Touch 3rd generation is not being recognized by the newest version of iTunes (10.2). I have already restarted my computer, and shut it down and removed the battery for a minute before starting it up again. None of these things worked. This is the first time I have tried to sync my iPod touch since installing the new software so I am not sure what I need to do.
It sounds like this may be the fix:

Ipod touch 3rd generation can´t install apps
I have a problem with apple.
I bought a Ipod touch of the 3rd generation and I can´t install any apps the problem is that my ipod said You need ios 6 to install this app.I bought them in 2010.
How can I fix this problem? I have ios 5.1.1.I would be okay that apple update my ipod to the version 8 of ios.
I think that is a case of programmed obsolescence.
I am very angry. I think that bought an ipod with only 5 years of use and then happens this. I find it amazing.
Regards
JhonnyGarciaThank you for using the Apple Support Communities
Unfortunately that is the case with any kind of technology. Components get older and new software is designed to take advantage of current day technologies. The iPod touch 3rd generation is 6 years old which is a very long time in the age of technology. This may seem like a cop out answer but this iPod touch just could not handle current day software. Lets put it in perspective. If Apple updated that iPod touch to iOS 8.x then it would not have the power to handle even the simplest of operations. The iPod touch 3rd generation still works with iOS 5.x and allows you to use it as you did 6 years ago. Applications also get updated as well to support the newer technologies and with that they drop support for older hardware. Apps that had versions on the App Store that at some point in time supported your iPod, it will give you the option to install the older version. I am not saying Apple does not have planned obsolescence, what I am saying is that your iPod still functions because it does not use new software.

Ipod Touch (3rd generation) connection to a TV
Can anyone tell me how to connect my Ipod Touch (3rd generation) model A1318 to a TV to display YouTube and Video?
The Apple Store have advised me that they don't have a cable that will do this but to use a third party one with third party software from Itunes.
Thanks,
Steve.There is no special software. You just need apps that support TV out. Just not that TV out does not mirror the iPod's screen.
You do not need a dock, just the cable. From the link I provided:
A dock can be a welcome addition if you're going to keep your cables connected to the TV. The Apple Universal Dock includes an Apple Remote so you can pause and adjust the volume from a distance -

I need to upgrade my Mac to Mountain Lion so I can use Lightroom 5. If I do this will I still be able to sync my (rather old but in perfect working order) iPod touch 3rd generation version 5.1.1 to my iTunes?
Yes.

How do you connect an IPod touch 3rd generation to wifi using wifi protected setup?
Hi all.
I have an IPod Touch 3rd Generation using software 5.0.1 that I am trying to connect to my wifi. I just got a Cisco DOCSIS 3.0 Gateway router (model #DPC3825 if any of that matters). It's default setup is wifi protected setup which invovles the pushing the button on the router or entering a pin. I cannot find any pin on the router nor can I find anyway to enable something on the IPod for the push button. Any advice on how to get this connected? Is there an app I have to download or a setting I need to change?
ThanksI have that same model modem. Here is the user guide for that modem as mentioned by lllaasss above.

I have an iPod Touch 3rd generation and yesterday I was using it and noticed that it reset to a different time zone and when I dug a little deeper realized that it reset the date to December of 1969. I just went in and changed it all back. I was out of the house all day today and didn't take it with me, when I went to use it, it wouldn't turn on. I assumed it was dead, so I plugged it in and got ready for bed. I realized that the charging screen never appeared and it never made the little noise it does when you plug it in. I picked it up and right near where the charger plugs in, it was very hot. I use it when it'd plugged in from time to time and it is NEVER that hot. I then tried to plug it into the computer where it again didn't do anything and didn't show up as a device that was plugged in on my iTunes. Again, it got very hot very quickly. I am using the cord that came with it and an actual Apple brand wall charger. I don't know what else to do. Some people said to hold the two buttons down for a little bit, but nothing happened on mine. Please help!
Warm is normal, too hot to handle, literally, is not.
If you're concerned, make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check your charger out. -
I have an ipod touch 3rd generation 64gb and it has iOS 5.1.1 and it will connect to my WiFi for a few seconds and then nothing will load. It says I have full connection bbut nothing works. I have 2nd generation ipod and it connects fine. Along with my laptop and xbox 360. I have tried downgrading it and restoring it from itunes. I also tried forgetting the network and inputting it myself but it sti does the same thing. I even tried resetting my wireless modem but it still didnt make a change. I really could use some help. I can't call apple cause im no longer under warranty.
Reset the iPod and connect to its syncing computer. It it shows in iTunes restore the iPod.
Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mod will allow iTunes t see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
