- 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.
- Reset all settings if you can
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I used to have an icon on my menu bar at the top of my screen to help me detect displays (monitors) It has disappeared and I don't know how to get it back. Does anyone know?
Your's may look more like this...
...if you're running Mountain Lion. I'm in clamshell mode right now, so I don't have any mirroring options. AFAIK, there's no more "Show displays in menu bar" in Mountain Lion.

My iPod Touch (3rd Gen) is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. It varies between not responding when I tap the screen and acting as if I double-tap or tap and hold when I tap. Every so often it freezes for a minute or so and then comes back. The scren is constantly changing sizes too such that I often can't see most of the top status bar or other edges. This makes typing almost impossible, ruins most games and generally makes everything difficult, but otherwise the iPod is working correctly. Powering off, shutting down apps, letting it sit have not worked. This has happened once before months ago, but the issue resolved itself somehow. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?
Try this for the freezing

Or if they don't work put it into recovery mode

Then restore

Updated my iPod touch 3rd gen to 5.0.1 from 4.3.2 and now the screen my iPod won't work anymore.
Updated my iPod touch 3rd gen to 5.0.1 from 4.3.2 and now the screen my iPod won't work anymore. I restored it, I backed it up and I held the power and Home buttons for the reboot and still nothing. I've been looking to see if any one had the same problem and one guy did but they tOld him it was his hardware, but I don't think it was because my friend was able to get it working but it would stop working again like in 10min. So, has anyone had the same problem and can help? Please, I will greatly apretiate it. :)
What do you mnean that the screen does not work?
When you touch the screen the iPod does not respond?
Nothing shows on the screen?

Everything on my iPod touch (3rd gen) works just fine except the audio out put.
Try #2 and #3 in link below. If neither work, you most likely have a hardware issue. Contact Apple or a third-party service center.

When looking on the apple website and iTunes you can see that the picture of the ipod touch 5th gen has a battery percentage indicator but i can't seem to fing the option to turn it on?! Is there actually an option or has apple just added a feature in the photo in which the ipod dosen't contain?
The 5G does not come with a % battery in upper right. The phtos were incorrect. You may be able to add it by:
[How To] Enable the Battery Percentage with iBackupBot | iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch forums | iFans
However, % battery is not accurate on an iPod -
I don't think I ever registered my 3rd gen iPod. I was never able to update it past its original software because iTunes could never recognize it. Unfortunately, my wife had installed data on it (old & recently purchased) so I've been very hesitant to "Restore" it. I recently plugged it into my laptop & it prompted me to install the iOS 5.0.1 software, but after multiple attempts to do so iTunes keeps giving me the same error message "update install failed. Connection to the update software server has timed out". How do I update the software without losing all my wife's data?
If you already have iOS5.0, Go to settings-general-software update, scroll to the bottom and hit download and install and this should update it without the computer. Then when you connect the iPod to iTunes, it should say 5.0.1. If this doesn't work, DON'T ERASE IT. Just bring it in to Apple. I had the same issue trying to update to 5.0. and eventually I got it to work after waiting for a little while. Good luck!

TS1559 My iPod Touch 3rd Gen I think (Doesn't have a camera), bluetooth and wi-fi grayed
My iPod Touch's Bluetooth and Wi-fi are now grayed out, I have tried everything to fix it. It happened right after I upgraded it to the new iOS 5.1.1, could this be an effect caused by the new iOS firmware? It has not been dropped, thrown, broken, wet, etc. Is this an affect the new firmware had on it? Will it be fixed with iOS 6 or is it permanent?
It's clear it isn't under warranty so I would check the link above first. Also I'm sorry to say you will not be running ios6 on that device anytime soon as it is not supported. Check the very bottom of http://www.apple.com/ios/ios6/ sorry I couldn't make it a link I'm on an iPad writing this.

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:

- 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 3rd Gen Wiped with Latest iTunes Update
Hi,
I had my ipod touch 3rd gen up to date with the latest firmware 5.x whatever it was. Then recently they released a new iTunes update which i downloaded and updated. Although doing this itunes update wiped everything off my ipod. I manually manage my music and this is very annoying to have to reselect all the songs i like and to put it back in. What could be the reason for this ? and what could i do to make sure this doesnt happen again!
I had already just recently manually added all songs again when OS5 had just released and having to do it now for the 2nd time after that just seems annoying.
Please Help
Thanks!I would just go to the Apple Store and search for headphone with mic under iPod accessories.

IPod touch 3rd gen spinning wheel plus home button doesn't work. How to fix?
I have an iPod touch 3rd gen that is stuck on the Apple logo and also has that spinning of wheel death thing. I am trying to enter into DFU mode but won't work due to the home button not working. Is there any other way I can fix this and make it boot back up regularly?
Try here:
fix for Home button
Fix a broken, unresponsive or sticky iPhone Home Button
See if using thies program will get the iPod in recovery mode so you can restore the iPod
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If not let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least for an hour try again.
If you can update to iOS 5 and the Home button sill does not work yu can turn on the Assistive Touch Accessibility feature. See chapter 30 of the Users Guide.

I recently purchased a new Mac Mini with Lion installed. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini. Everything else syncs great, and iCal syncs from my Mini to my Touch. My Touch has the latest iOS installed. I have tried rebooting my Touch, removing the sync calendars option from iTunes>Info and checking it again after applying and closing iTunes, and restarting my Mini. Any help will be appreciated!
