Ipod touch 3rd generation is stuck in "waiting for changes to apply" during sync
My iPod touch 3rd generation is stuck at "waiting for changes to apply" during sync. I have the latest update and the latest version of iTunes downloaded. Any suggestions for a remedy to this problem? Thanks!
Here is the link for the downgrade from Apple.

I went into my desktop PC the to Start/My music/iTunes folder.
In my folder there was nothing called ITunes Library.itl., but I had file called iTunes Library, in the center of it labeled "Lib", so I re-named it to "iTunes Library.itl.backup" Then went to the folder from iTunes" Previous iTunes
Library" and copied and pasted mine was iTunes Library 2011-04-02 right into the iTunes main folder.
Close your iTunes folder and then install the previous ver. 10.3 of the Apple link. I did not reboot PC. Did not use Cc cleaner nor add/Remove. then after 10.3 said finished installing 10.3 I clicked on my iTune Icon and iTune came up, iPod not plugged in yet.
Then I clicked on "let iTune to find all my music and install them", said towards bottom of iTunes.
Why we don't have the answer but iTune will put all your music in but you will have duplicates of the songs, so you will have your work cut out for you, takes time. plus some of my Artwork was missing, but I save that too.
I'm not Responsible for this instructions, this is what worked for me.
I think everything here is in order. Lot of my information came from all of you guys.Thank you. took a lot of reading, and trial and errors 2 1/2 day latter.

My ipod touch (3rd generation) is stuck on the screen that shows me to sync it to i-Tunes.
When I turn on the iPod touch, I get the screen that has a picture showing that I should plug it into iTunes, but when I do, I get a message that says I need a passcode. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and ran a diagnostic test to see if there were any problems and it said that iTunesHelper is currently not running. Everything else was working just fine. I don't know how to make sure iTunesHelper.exe is running. Also, the volume was not working properly before this happened. I'm not sure if that is related to the issue. Any suggestions?
You'll need to connect in recovery mode to get past the passcode and restore the ipod. After that you can set up a passcode you choose. Log into the ipod after that with the new passcode and deactivate the passcode in the Settings of your device. iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen

ive tired uninstalling and reinstalling itunes. i also restored my ipad and still no change since the new iOS7 upate
The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies. -
Trouble downloading the 4.3.4 update to my ipod touch 3rd generation (A1318).
I am having trouble downloading the 4.3.4 update to my ipod touch 3rd generation (A1318). It downloads for 34 minutes and then in the last second it tells me that the network times out. I have tried this several times in the past month. Please help!!!
Thank you!You may have better luck if you temporarily disable the firewall and anti-virus software on your PC while downloading the 4.3.4 update.

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.

IPod Touch 3rd Generation stuck in recovery mode
My daughter got an iPod Touch 3rd Generation for Christmas which was on version 3.1.1. iTunes told us an update to 3.1.2 was available and would we like to update it, we selected yes. The update downloaded and then the iPod wouldn't restore and is stuck in recovery mode with the iTunes symbol and the USB on the screen and giving us an error message 1604. We have tried different ways to get it to restore but it wants to update it to 3.1.2 which apparently has a problem with it. How can we get it to restore back to 3.1.1?
I had the same problem yesterday. I tried restoring countless times, reinstalling iTunes... teh whole nine yards. I eventually called Apple, they didn't know what was wrong with it either.
Unfortunately, its the Touch, not iTunes... you are going to have to return it to where you bought it, and exchange it for a new one. Call Apple, and they will give you a number to give to the store. Alternately, you can go to an Apple store, if you bought it at a retailer (Best Buy, Walmart, ect.) and see what they can do.
Best of luck! ~*~ -
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.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
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.

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 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:
