  • The center button on my 5th generation ipod is stuck in the down position - How can I fix this?

    The center button on my 5th generation ipod is stuck in the down position - How can I fix this?

    I'm not sure if there really is a way to "fix" it without diassembling the iPod in some manner.  Perhaps you find or use some sort of tool that can attach itself to the center botton and allow you to pull up to try and pop it out.  Kind of like the way a plunger works, but I don't know if you'll be able to find anything that small. :S
    Perhaps it would be worth it to send the iPod to a third party service company who would be able to fix it at a pretty reasonable cost. A simple Google search for "iPod repair" should give you a number of results to work with.

  • HT4623 Can the iPod Touch 3rd Generation update to IOS 7? If so, how do i update it?

  • Is the 3rd generation ipad the ipad with retina display as how apple calls it

    Depends on which site you're looking at. On apple's page it's the 4th gen ipad. On other retailers' sites it's the refurbished ipad (commonly known as ipad 3), for the same price.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have a 3rd generation iPod and I cannot download or install any new apps. This started a few weeks ago.   I have plenty of space, it's very frustrating not to be able to get any apps! Please help?

    Please help,  I cannot get any apps free or bought, I am able to update just fine and, I can use the apps I already have with no problem.  But to be able to install an app. ie, new game recommended by app I already own, is impossible. A few weeks now I have been unable to get any new apps.  Why is this occuring and can there be something I can do to fox this without upgrading to 4.0.   

    Try resetting the device.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • I switched something while perusing an ebay listing (right clicked?) and now it no longer displays the seller's images from their 3rd-party photo host (still works in IE). How do i reverse this?

    Sellers can use eBay's image system to display their items, or use a 3rd-party that allows more and large images to be displayed directly within the description of the item. With this problem, the resulting listings are also completely messed up because of the change in layout (no pics).
    i have checked many other listings and they show on IE but not FF. It occurred in mid-swing so i know i accidentally switched something, but am not sure how to get it back.

  • My ipod touch 4th generation is so laggy after the last update how can i fix this problem

    how can i fix this problem

    - double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory.
    - 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.

  • What is the "correct"  name for the new iPad?  Is it also called the 3rd Generation?

    I have the latest iPad, purchased Mar '12.  But when I read Apple News it is referred to as the "new ipad" & somtimed the 3rd Generation.  What is the "correct name & will "SIRI" be available with this Fall latest update?  Thanks!!!

    Yes, it is somewhat confusing isn't it. Almost like, the iPad is having an identity crisis. I believe the official Apple line would be that it is the "New iPad" but I see it referred to the 3rd generation just as frequently as the new iPad.
    Siri will be available for the "new iPad/3rd Gen when iOS 6 is released this fall.

  • IPad 3rd generation

    Everything is sharper on the iPad 3rd generation... but I need to know how to get the crisp white thst the iPad 2 displays. Te iPad 3 has a distinct or pronounced yellowish haze tone to white objects and affects all other colors as well. It is not the brightness ... I've tested that. Holding the iPad 3rd generation next to the iPad 2 ... the color difference is very noticeable and. renders images washed out!

    Many people have posted that the yellowish tint was a common problem when the iPad 2 was first released and was caused by the glue holding the screen to the rest of the unit. Supposedly the yellowish tint disappeared after a few weeks. If this is the case, the long an iPad site on the shelf the better the screen will look. But right now every iPad is probably sold right after it is manufactured. Those who manage to purchase units made earlier in the process as Apple built up their inventory. I purchased my iPad 2 well after it was first released and never saw a problem with the screen.
    For those concerned about this issue I would wait until a few weeks after the mad rush to buy the new iPad is over. Then go to an Apple store with your old iPad to compare with a unit that had been around for a while. Hopefully the problem will either be resolved by Apple or it will go away as units spend A little more time between manufacture and delivery to the buyer.

  • 5th generation iPod with 3rd generation dock connector?

    hello,
    I have a 30GB 3rd generation iPod, which is now a totally crammed... so I am planning on buying a new iPod Photo. With my 3rd generation iPod, a dock connector was included in the package. Will this dock connector work with the new iPod Photo, or do I need to buy one of those "Universal Docks"?
    I was looking in Apple Store, but couldn't find an answer there. Does anybody know?
    cheers,
    pj

    Hey,
    I just picked up my new 5g iPod and I am using it with the dock connector from my 4g with now problems. It sets the ipod at just the right angle to watch movies as well as charging, sync, etc.

  • Questionable 8gb 3rd generation iPod Touch advertising

    I picked up a 8GB iPod Touch this past weekend from CompUSA which was marketed as a 3rd generation unit. It wasn't until after Tuesday when I got back home when I realized something wasn't right when a handful of programs refused to install or run properly. I ended up speaking with Apple tech support and found out that my iPod Touch was actually a 2nd generation unit. I haven't been following the device very closely so I wasn't even there were no such things as 8GB 3rd Generation units. Has anyone else run into this problem?
    I double checked the labeling on the bottom of the packaging said it was a 3rd generation unit which from what I learned is impossible since they don't exist. It was just a 2nd generation unit with iOS 4.0 installed on it.

    At this point my dilemma is I've been unable to find the receipt so far for the unit to return it right now and I'd also have to deal with a 2 1/2 hour drive to just return the device. I also have to deal with a %15 restocking fee too since I opened the packaging. So all in all I'm losing either way at the moment. I've heard nothing from Apple after I was told to send them a feedback with my contact info regarding the situation. I'm tempted to just sell the unit and cut my loses at this point. Any helpful suggestions?

    Here are some part numbers from MacTracker.

  • HT4623 My iPod touch (3rd generation) says it's already up to date, but it can go up to 5.5.1. How can I do it?

    I want to update my iOS on my iPod touch 3rd generation to 5.5.1 because that's how high it can go but it won't let me.
    How can I do it?
    Help would be greatly appreciated

    I suspect you really have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
    otherwise
    To update
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
    iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
    A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later

  • 3rd generation not charging connected to USB

    My 3rd generation not charging when connected to the USB2 / firewire port. Does this imply the battery is dead ? It does change with the AC adaptor but seems to die pretty quickly afterwards.

    Neil,
    Are you sure that the 3G iPod can charge via the USB?
    When your computer shuts down, the FW and USB ports shut down and, if your iPod is connected, the iPod battery will drain. There are a few things you can try:
    reset, several times
    update the firmware
    calibrate the battery and the battery meter
