IPod touch 3rd Gen. will not show up iTunes or My Computer

I have reinstalled iTunes, I have tried recovory mode, I have the latest model, I've tried using other USB ports, I've done just about anything I can. I have had this iPod for like 3 years and have never had an issue. Now all the sudden it will not connect to the computer or show up in itunes. It does charge in a wall charger though. How do i fix this?

Hi
I have posted just recently with a similar problem [although I suspect you are using Windows rather than OSX by your reference to device manager].
In my post I asked if iTunes 10 supports the 2nd gen nano as I am starting to suspect that it doesn't. Have you recently upgraded to 10?

My ipod touch 3rd gen will not update to 4.3. It says it is the current version

when i try to update my ipod touch 3rd gen to 4.3 on itunes it says "your ipod is up to date" and "this is the currnet version". But when i try to buy certain apps it says "you must have version 4.3 to download this app" what do i do? i have 4.2 and i have even clicked the "check for update" button and waited for the automatic update check but it always says its the current version even though its not! please help me!

You appear to have a second generation iPod touch, not a third, and those can't be updated past 4.2.1. Apple sold 8GB second generation models at the same time as the third generation ones.

my ipod touch 3rd gen will not sync to pc.itunes file menu sync my ipod is greyed out.and i cant sync or put any new songs.please help me.

I've gotten the iPod to sync after restoring it and not changing ANY of the music sync settings. I didn't even click "sync music", I just have it on manual and clicked autofill.
After it synced all of the music successfully, I tried to sync a playlist (my recently added), and it's gone bonkers again, it won't sync the playlist's music, or any new music now.

Hi. My ipod touch (3rd gen) will not turn off or resond to anything and will not connect to a computer. the screen will not go into sleep mode and i dont know what to do. help?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

ipod touch 4g 4.3 not detecting in itunes 10.1.2, i am using mac os x 10.3 snow leopard, can someone help?

You do not need Snow Leopord (10.6.X), but you do need Leopord (10.5.8) and iTunes 10.x for iOS 4.3. You need iTunes 10.5 for iOS 5
For the Current (iOS 5 iPod touch specs)
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.5 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)7

Ipod touch 3rd gen. is not recognized

My ipod touch 3rd generation is not recognized on my computer or on the itunes website. I have tried everything listed on this websie and still nothing. The usb cable I am using I got from ebay because I bought the ipod at Unclaimed Baggage store and did not come with usb cable. Does anyone have any idea what to do, the only other thing that I can think to do is purchase new usb cable from apple.com because ipod is working great; just won't sync to computer.

I'm not sure what you meant by, "on the iTunes website".

Ipod touch 3rd gen will not turn on

Hi
Updated my Ipod touch 3rd generation and now it will not turn on. I have restored it in itunes and updated it with the latest software but still nothing.
The Ipod however is seen within Itunes.
Any help would be greatly received.
Regards

- Try here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- When you restore does the appear that the iPod successfully goes through all the stages of restore?
If yes, try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then restore.
Next try DFU Mode

- Then try a different computer
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My Ipod Touch 3rd Gen will not update

I have a 3rd Gen Ipod Touch, and it states on the website that this supported to update to iOS 4.3
However, when I try to update, I get the same error message.
"This version of the Ipod software (4.2.1) is the current version"
anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
I have the latest version of Itunes, I have tried 2 different cables, also I have restored my Ipod back to factory settings,
There is nothing else that I can think of doing, as there is no update anywhere for me to manually download, and it's getting rather annoying to say the least.
Thanks

Look on the back of your iPod Touch itself for any of these numbers.
iPod Touch 1st generation - A1213
iPod Touch 2nd generation - A1288
iPod Touch 3rd generation - A1318
iPod Touch 4th generation - A1367
Also see this Apple document on the 3rd generation iPod Touch

You probably have the 2nd generation iPod Touch which is an 8GB model.
The 2nd generation 8GB iPod Touch was last offered in August of 2010.. I bought one in August of 2010 and the following month Apple came out with the 4th generation. There never was a 3rd generation 8GB iPod Touch.
