MMX won't work on 3rd gen ipod touch

I just bought Mega Man X from i-tunes. I synced my 8gb 3rd gen ipod touch and get a messge on itunes saying my phone software is not compatible. I amusing 4.2.1 which is the newest version for my ipod touch and it says compatible with ipod touch 3rd gen on the side of the app store.

You do not have a 3rd gen ipod. Apple did not make a 3rd gen ipod touch in 8GB.
Sorry

The USB Power Adapter NOT working for 3rd Gen iPod touch!?

Hi Apple dudes
Well.. Look here:
http://store.apple.com/dk/product/MB051ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDA4NA&mco=MTEyNjA0NTg
As you can see, the iPod Touch 3rd Gen (I got 32 GB, 3rd Gen) isn't listed as a compitable device.. So now I don't know whether to believe the text or the compitable list.. I really don't wanna wasted an already outrageous price on a simple thing like a adapter - And really, what's up with you NOT being able to charge your iPod from a regular USB power adaptar - NOOOOO, it HAS to be the APPLE-MADE one, cause it's soooo white.. Yes, I'm frustrated, 'cause my first time with an Apple product hasn't just been as your slogan says: "It just works!".. Nop.. Problems, confusing software, and you wouldn't even let me now that my username was already taken when I creted this account. Come on... Took me several "Create now" and Browser-switching to figure it out..
Sorry for this aggresive ending, I hope you can help me with my problem after all
Regards
Alexander

Welcome to the  forums!
I can't help you with things like user names. Apple handles that; I'm an Mac/iPod user, not an Apple employee.
Tech specs for the unit you have can be found here: http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/specs.html. And, based on the back view (4th image) on the page you listed, I'd say you could use it for your iPod, because you should have the USB charge-cable that came with the iPod. (The one that plugs into the computer, and hence, into the back of the charger.)
However, I'm not an expert in European iPods, being American.
As for software...Apple software, if you're used to using Windows, takes time to get used to. I'm still finding things out, and I switched a year ago. It takes a little time.
Best of luck--

Why won't iTunes 11.0.1 sync my Podcasts to my 3rd Gen iPod Touch on IOS 6.0.1?

Why won't iTunes 11.0.1 sync my Podcasts to my 3rd Gen iPod Touch on IOS 6.0.1? I'm running iTunes on my MacBook with Mac OSX 10.6.8. I've checked to make sure in iTunes that the Podcast Sync box is checked and it is. I've tried checking communities and tried several suggestions and nothing seems to work for me. Everything else syncs except Podcasts. I can't figure it out. Any suggestions to get Podcasts syncing to my iPod Touch again? Thanks!

One other step I've tried was removing and completely reinstalling the playlist to the iPod. That cleared up the problem for about two days.

Nothing is working on my 3rd gen ipod touch but the home button. It's not sliding or anything. I've tried resetting and restoring it. Did not work

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 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.

AirPrint not working on my 3rd gen iPod touch

AirPrint not working on my 3rd gen iPod touch.
It works on my iPhone and ipad2.
I have a new HP printer.

AirPring requires a 3G or later iPod. Are you sure you have a 3G iPod? A 2G iPod can only go to iOS 4.2.1 and that is what you say you have. If yours is an 8 or 16 GB one it is a 2G. A 32 GB can be either. See:

Updating iTunes to 11.0.4, Will my 3rd gen iPod touch work fine on it with version 4.3.1

Well I received a free iPhone 4 but to use it with my iTunes I need to update iTunes to 11.0.4. Was just wondering if I would have any problems using my 3rd gen iPod touch with 4.3.1 on the newest iTunes. Thanks in advance.

You should have no problems.

3rd gen iPod touch 32GB won't upgrade to 4.3.3

We have a 3rd gen iPod Touch 32GB that has OS 4.1 on it and when we plug it into the computer (MB Pro running Tiger with iTunes 9.2.1) it syncs the ipod just fine. When we go to the iPod screen though it says there's an update 4.3.3 available but when you click update it says that iTunes 9.2.1 is the current version and doesn't update the iPod. Anyone have any clue on how to fix this or what is going on?

Hi ChristianHelpplz,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It seems like your iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes on your Mac, but your iPhone 6 is working normally.
I recommend starting with these steps to troubleshoot your iPod touch and connection with your Mac:
Check your USB connections
Unplug other USB devices from your Mac and try again.
Try a different USB port.
Try a different USB cable.
Restart your device
Restart your iOS device or reset your iPod.
Restart your Mac
Turn your Mac off and back on.
Update your software
Check for software updates on your Mac.
Check for an iTunes update.
Check your security software
If you have security software installed, learn how to resolve issues between iTunes and your security software.
From:
If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
If you've tried these steps and your iPod touch is still not recognized, try placing it into Recovery Mode next:
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Sincerely,
Jeremy

3rd Gen Ipod touch. I want to start as new, not restore.

I have a 3rd gen Ipod Touch that I want to delete everything and start as new, but it keeps wanted to restore. The ipod touch was my sons, and I upgraded him to a 4. I have an older ipod and I was hoping to upgrade to the touch, but it won't let me start new. Please help. I have tried restoring, but it fails. Is there a way to completely wipe it out so I can use it ??
thanks.

"I have a 3rd gen Ipod Touch that I want to delete everything and start as new"
Yes. That is called a restore.

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

IBooks on iOS4 3rd gen iPod touch 64GB - crash causing reset

I'm not sure if others have experienced the problem but I've been using iBooks and I'm finding that the device randomly resets while in use.
The problem is not connected to a particular ebook or PDF, it seems to happen randomly - even a couple of times while browsing the bookshelf. I have approximately 300 books and PDFs installed.

Finally decided to disable the wifi on my Cisco router & that seems to have fixed the problem. Must have been a conflict.

3rd-Gen Ipod Touch Overheating All the Time!

I have a 3rd-Gen Ipod Touch, 32gb that I bought over a year ago. I've never had a problem with it before until about two weeks ago and it's concerning me quite a bit. Whenever I use it, within 5 minutes it becomes very hot, mostly on the bottom near where it charges. Within 10 minutes, the heat has spread throughout the whole device and has become so hot that I can no longer hold it. This happens all the time, not when it's charging. I'm worried that it will overheat to the point that I can no longer use it.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way that I can fix this? Do I have to have the battery replaced or something?
I appreciate any feedback, and thanks.

Sounds like a bad battery. Search ebay, there are people who provide the replacement service for as low as $19.

3rd gen iPod touch lock button issues

Recently my 3rd gen iPod touch started giving me problems with the lock button. If I press the lock button the screen will turn on and off rapidly and then the power off screen will come up. It will just keep doing this over and over; I've tried to restore it but no luck there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like the switch needs to be replaced. You might try this until you get it serviced.
