There is without a doubt, NO 8GB ipod touch 3rd gen.

I have an ipod touch 4th gen, installed the latest update to iOS 6 and have lost all my music. Where did it go?

I have an ipod touch 4th gen, installed the latest update to iOS 6 and have lost all my music, apps etc. It also linked up with an alternate email address???? Help!

I have a similar issue happenning with my ipod touch 64GB running IOS 6.0.1. My music content is stored via itunes on my Snow Leopard macbook pro as well (and not in the cloud). The music on my ipod (which is sync'd to my macbook pro when I connect via usb) has randomly disappeared about 3 or 4 times lately, not during sync'ing and unrelated to battery charge levels. Fortunately I have been able to restore it by restarting my macbook pro then re-syncing the ipod, which it is now doing as I write, but it takes hours (for over 3000 songs). Having looked at a few other forum discussion pages, it seems this may be a bug related to IOS 6 updates and using music/itunes and podcast playing apps. The same thing has intermittently occurred with some other content such as downloaded podcasts, iplayer content and photos. Once I reconnected the ipod it synced and apparently restored the content, but I can't understand why it lost it in the first place, and its very annoying. Lets hope the reinstalling works on my ipod tonight....up to 248 of 3326 songs syncing as I write....

IPod Touch - 1st Generation - how do I update my iOs?

I bought this online as a gift for someone travelling. Cheap so if it gets lost or broken - no big deal BUT was restored to original factory settings. It now has version 3.1.3 on it. I have tried to sync with my iTunes from my phone but it's not being seen.
HOW CAN I UPDATE MY iOs ON MY IPOD TOUCH, 1st generation?

iOS 3.1.3 is the last version a first-generation iPod touch can run.
Regards.

HT4623 The problem with my iPod touch is that it can't update the information in software update ! No matter how many times I try it keeps tell me that my iOS , that is. 6.3 , is up to date and there are no other updates available ! Do what do I do ?

The thing is that my iPod just can't update to know that ios7 is available

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iOS 7 is compatible with the 5th generation iPod touch, and any older iPod isn't supported. As iOS 7 doesn't show up as an update, your device isn't supported

My iPod touch 6.1.5 doesn't update to IOS 7. How can I update it?

About 3 years ago I bought my mother an iPod touch and so she only used it for abouut 2 years and stopped using it. She started using it just a couple months ago, but the device is still in the firmware 6.1.5 and I trieyd updating it to the current version of IOS, but all it says is "Your software is up to date." How can I update it to the current version?? Need an answer quick... If theres no way then I totally understand. Thank you!

Sorry to say, your maxed out. The iPod 4 can't go to IOS 7. Not enough RAM, IOS 7 requires 512MB, the iPod 4 only has 256MB.

Our iPod touch 4th generation 8GB will only update to iOS 4.2.1. Are further updates impossible?

It's just been updated and restored using iTunes. That went well, but iTunes now says the iPod software is up to date with 4.2.1, although we wanted to get a more advanced iOS so the iPod touch would be able to run the SiriusXM app.

A 4G can go as hig as iOS 6.1.3. You update via iTunes
iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
You need iTunes 10.7 or later on your computer.
You do have a 4G iPod, right? The 4G has cameras. Otherwise you have a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1

IPod Touch 4G, "Video" program crashes after Update to iOS 4.2

After updating iPod Touch 4G to iOS4.2 the program "videos" just crashes.
Details: I can sync the iPod touch with the computer and the videos reappear on first launch of "videos". All videos play o.k. Second launch of "videos" gives me a white screen for several seconds, then "videos" crashes. Every time I launch it, it keeps crashing.
There are 2 conditions that make them reappear and "videos" runs normally (but only once!):
Method 1: Sync with my MacBook
Method 2: I fully close the program "Videos", then change language on the iPod touch to english (any other language seems to work, too. It's the change that seems to be important). Launching "videos" after that successfully shows all my videos. Second launch and the crash is back. Every time. Until I change the language again.
I tried full restore, and I tried Resetting the iPod, both with no success.
BTW: The Video Files are o.k., I can launch them using playlists and they work just fine.
This is really strange. Can anyone help?
Or, can anyone help how to revert back to iOS 4.1?

Check out the thread I have posted below. I've been having the same problem and have been posting on this thread.
Very annoying problem and it hasn't been solved in the new iOS 4.3 either!!
After two genius appointments, no solution has been offered from Apple, only a new device, which unfortunately came with iOS 4.2 installed, so I couldn't even leave it on the old iOS 3 and not update it. Although having said that, on this device the Video app was working, but only every other time. Weird I know! But now it won't work at all after the newest update... back to square one.
There are work arounds though, as mentioned in the above posts, if you change the music videos into films then they work perfectly.
Strange how it's only Music Vids that seem to cause this problem!?

New IPod Touch will not sync with Itunes-updated to iOS 7.1.1 for new IPod

Just purchased new IPod Touch (purchased 6-3-14 - had a Classic until it fried). After setting it up, I tried to sync to ITunes and it says it syncs but does nothing. No music transferred to IPod. I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8 if that means anything. This is very frustrating as I am not a computer whiz and really want to use my IPod in my really long commutes to work. Thanks for any insight...

Hi abbeyesque,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like your iPod touch is recognized and syncing, but it isn't transferring the content that you expect to be transferred. Take a look at the article linked below, it will show you how to select the iPhone in iTunes and where the tabs are (second picture) that control what is synced to the iPod.
iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
Sync using USB
Open iTunes.
Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable.
Click the Device button in the upper-right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button first.) If you don't see your device, you may need to hide the sidebar. Choose View > Hide Sidebar.
Some tabs may not appear if you don't have the corresponding content in your library. For example, if you don't have any podcasts in your library, the Podcast tab won't appear.
Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.

Why did my iPod touch go into recovery mode when updating to iOS 8.1 over the air???

I was updating my iPod touch (5th Generation) to iOS 8.1 over the air update option and my iPod goes into recovery mode...I hadn't backed it up in like 2 weeks and a lot happened in two weeks with photos and everything. I have yet to see if I get any of them back but why did this happen? I thought apples over the air update was reasonably easy and secure...?

Hey Haywards, There has been reported issues with updating iPods to iOS 8, one of which is updating with the cloud or through Wi-Fi. Your seeing one of the problems. After you get things cleared up with the DFU recovery, connect your iPod with your computer via the cable and run the update through iTunes. You should be OK. Or if still an option, don't do the update at all! Many have reported several issues with iOS 8 on iPods. Slow or laggy operation, missing apps, missing music, camera roll not working or missing and huge battery drain and charging issues, just to mention a few. You may want to hold off from updating if possible. Things to think about. Good luck, Cheers.

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

I have an ipod touch 8gb model number MA623LL. How do I install apps on my ipod? Is it capable of transferring/running apps? Why doesn't my ipod touch have the basic-beginning app on the beginning screen after i erased/wiped my ipod and started new?

Googling shows that you have the 1G iPod. For apps you need at least iOS 2. The iG can go as far os 3.1.3 that you get here:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
Just be aware that there are presently not that many apps that work with a 1G with iOS 3.1.3

Hello, I have an ipod touch 2g and I can not download the application or change the version. made for me a solution please. and thank you

The hardware on the 2G does not support an iOS version higher than 4.2.1. If you want apps that require a higher version you will need to get a newer model iPod.
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
