My ipod touch 3rd gen. won't let me me put music on it

I have my ipod plugged up and when i try to drag music over to put on it, it won't sync. like at first it started syncing like the song was going on there but when i check it wasn't on it and now when i drag it it doesn't do anything.

dantesmith23,
One of the annoying thing about iTunes is that you have to press a button to start a song syncing to your iPod. As long as you have enough space on your iPod for the song, drag the song to your iPod, click on your iPod in the devices pane of iTunes, click on the Summary tab, and at the bottom, click "Apply" or "Sync" (whichever button is there).
Hope this helps,
O.C.

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 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.

Seems to be an Apple or FB app problem. Nothing you can do but wait for it to be fixed.

I have tried holding the power home button but all that does is turn it off. When I try to start it again it goes into the same loop.

My ipod touch 3rd gen won't sync. it says the disk can't be read from or written too. Any thoughts?

Make sure you have some free space and if you do then buy a new syncing cable

IPod Touch 3rd Gen Won't Restore

I have an ipod touch 3rd gen that I can't get to restore. The ipod won't turn on unless it's plugged in and goes straight to the apple logo, so I put it into recovery mode and try to do a restore. It extracts the software but as soon as it says preparing ipod for restore the ipods screen turns white for a brief second and it restarts itself back to the connect to itunes logo then loops the same process until itunes comes up with an error saying The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1611). I've tried several different computers and have also tried replacing the battery but still no luck. Does anybody have any other suggestions I can try?

Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Alsoattempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured proxy or security software, such as FoxyProxy, can cause error 1611. To troubleshoot third-party security software, follow these steps.

HELP. Ipod Touch 3rd gen won't switch on after updating to OS 4

So here's the thing. I tried to download and install the new OS 4 (i think i had iOS 3.1 before) to my Ipod Touch 3rd gen. Since it was taking a bit too long, i left it hooked up to the laptop for an hour to do some errands. When I got back, the laptop was on standby mode. I checked Itunes and it had this prompt saying update failed or an error occurred (#1602 I think but I don't know what it meant that time). I then checked my Ipod Touch and it was switched off. So we figured maybe the battery got drained while we were gone and tried to plug it via AC charge for 10 minutes. Nothing happened. I tried to hook it up to the laptop, no luck there either. The charger worked fine for an Ipod video we also have. I'm scouring the webs for what to do, Im getting worried. hope someone can help me in this. Thank you.
(and additional question. I'm here in the Philippines right now but this Ipod Touch was my sister's, I think she bought this last year in the US. She just sent it to me this month. So if I take this to the local Apple store, can they do something about my problem? Assuming I cant fix anything by tomorrow. Thanks again folks.)

First I would charge it for an hour and then:
- Have you tried resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Next would be to place the ipod n recovery mode and then try to restore it via iTunes. For recovery mode see:

Ipod Touch 3rd Gen won't sync with windows

I've tried all the different troubleshooting through Apple but can't get my Ipod Touch 3rd Gen to show up on windows much less sync with Itunes. I just went through the process of fixing my Iphone so I know that Itunes is properly installed and the other drivers should be good. I even turned on Bonjour, which the one of the trouble shooting steps exposed. Any tips other then buy a new Ipod touch?

Did you do everything here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Including
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

IPod Touch (3rd Gen) won't boot unless usb powered

Info:
iPod Touch (3rd Gen) 32 GB
Latest Version available (5.1.1)
Tried resetting settings
Tried hard reset (home button and power button at the same time until apple logo)
Has a full charge
So basically any time I try to turn the iPod Touch on it will bring up a black screen for a second on the display, fail to boot up to the apple logo, and then shuts the display off.
I have done everything up to restoring it on iTunes as listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
The only problem is in the process of this occuring I have had a hard drive fail so my iPod Touch backups are more than likely lost without further analysis. So what would be the next best step? I assume refreshing it and backing up everything with a backup on my new hard drive under iTunes. Obviously, my computer would know anything about this iPod since I don't have its previous backups, but I should still be able to get the basics (music,videos,photos,etc) back thanks to default iCloud account right?
Thank you for your time.
Michael

- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Likely a bad battery

IPod touch 2nd gen won't let me get Apps

Hi,
I have an iPod Touch 2nd gen that is operating 4.2.1, and it no longer has App Store, or iTunes. This means that I cannot download any apps or even access music downloads. I have synced with the newest version of iTunes, and the App section is grayed so I cannot access it there either. Therefore, my Touch is reduced to an mp3 player, and I didn't pay for an iPod to just play music! Any suggestions??

Sounds like Apps have been restricted. Head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions and make sure they are turned off.

After iOS5 upgrade, iPod touch 2nd gen won't let me edit calendar events

I have an iPod touch 2nd gen with the old processor, so I'm stuck using iOS 4.2.1 on the touch.
Meanwhile, I have a MacBook and new iPad running Lion/iOS 5.
Before I upgraded to iOS 5, I could edit calendar events from either my macbook or from my Touch. Now, I can't edit calendar events on the Touch, and when I add new ones from the Touch, the options are restricted (e.g., I can't designate which calendar the item belongs to).
Please help! This functionality is very important to me because I take the Touch to work, but not my other mac devices, so I need to be able to edit on the go.
Thanks,
Carl

IPod touch 3rd gen won't charge with apple cable

This problem with my iPod is that it just won't charge with the Apple cable to my mac. When I plug it into the wal charger from Apple it does charge, but on the USB is keeps saying that charging isn't supported with this accessory.
Please help, since I'll have to charge my iPod with the USB for the coming 5 months!

I know this may sound stupid, but it was the same problem I had and wanted to tell you just in case you have a case on your ipod.
I had a soft gel case on my ipod touch and it prevented the cables from going in all the way. It would work from time to time and in the computer USB and wall charger it would work once then not for a few weeks. I just make sure my cover is not in the way of any of the cords and I have never had that problem again.
mine is the 3rd Gen touch too.

My iPod touch 3rd gen won't update to iOS 5

iTunes keeps displaying the message saying that I have the latest update. I have iTunes 10.5 installed and everything, it's just that the iOS update won't come through. I currently have iOS 4.2 on my iPod. Any help is appreciated.

If your iPod Touch is 8GB than it is actually a 2nd gen and the highest it can go is iOS level 4.2.1.

IPod touch (3rd gen) won't Charge with iHome after iOS5

I use an iHome (iH8 model) to charge my 3rd generation iPod touch, but after I updated to iOS5 I got the message "This accessory does not support charging" the first time I tried to change on the iHome, and every time after that it doesn't even seem to think it is connected to anything and will not charge. It will charge fine on a USB cable connected to my computer. Does anyone have any suggestions?
