New iPod Touch: Would it come with OS 3.0?

It's weird that I can't find the answer to this anywhere on the support area of the site, but oh well: I see that the 3.0 OS is something current iPod touch users have to pay for, but if one were to buy one today, would it come with the new OS?
Having to pay to get a device's most updated firmware that +came out before you bought it+ sounds godawful to me, tell me it isn't so!

v3.0 is an optional update for 2nd generation iPod touch models.
It was the same last year too when v2.0 came out - it was an optional paid-for update for 1st generation iPod touch.
V2.0 wasn't pre-installed on devices until the 2nd generation came out in September. Possibly the same will happen this year, although Apple hasn't announced a 3rd generation iPod touch yet.

Brand new iPod touch did not come with iOS 8

Just got a new 16 GB 5th Generation iPod touch. Not only does it not have iOS 8, I cannot get it to update from 7.1.2. Why is Apple advertising the latest iOS on these devices but selling them with an older operating system? Did they actually sell me an older iPod?

iOS 8 was released on September 17, 2014. It is possible that you got one that was manufactured prior to that time. They don't go back and unbox them all and upgrade them. Similar thing happened to me with a MacBook Air that I bought shortly after an operating system was released. It should however be easily updated. You may be able to get help with that issue here or from Apple support or return it if still in the return period.

New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3 says it needs 11.1 but I cannot load that on my macbook using OSX 10.5.8 any way around this?

New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3, says it needs 11.1 or newer but I cannot load that onto my MacBook running on OSX 10.5.8 - is there anyway around this?

No. If your MacBook has an Intel processor you can update to OSX 10.6.8 and then install the latest iTunes.
A 5G iPod with iOS 7 requires that if you have a Mac you have OSX 10.6.8 or later.
You can get 10.6.8 here:

The new ipod touch will have Siri with the A5 chip. Since the ipad 2 also has the A5, will the ipad 2 finally get Siri??

It's probably due to the RAM and processor limitations.
iPad: RAM - 256MB, Processor - 1 GHz Apple A4
iPad 2: RAM - 512MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5
iPad 3: RAM 1024MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5X

Will the replacement ipod touch 2nd generation come with headphones and a usb cord

when i replace my ipod touch will it come with headphones and a usb cable

Assuming it was a replacement request via Apple, no you will not. It will just be the iPod unit itself. You should have held onto the USB cable and headphones.

Recently purchased iPod Touch did not come with current firmware

I have just received my 32GB iPod touch from china but it did not come with the 3.0 update.
Why do I have to pay for an update that was released over a month before I bought the iPod from Apple?
Also, iTunes will not stop bothering me about updating to 3.0. Every time I open iTunes, a popup dialog come up asking me if I want to update the iPod Touch to 3.0.
I would love to update but I refuse to pay for an update that's over a month old.

Well, 3.0 really isn't an update as much as it is a new accessory for your Touch. It may seem like it should be an update, but it introduces many new features. If all it did was fix some errors it would be an update, but this is an entirely new release, hence the $10 charge. Trust me, you're not alone in expecting a new Touch to come with 3.0, but the reality is that this is how Apple's done this in the past (when 2.0 came out, the 1st generation Touches did not come with it -- only the 2nd generation ones did). iPhone users get 3.0 for free, but in reality that is a perk that Apple gives them for paying a monthly access fee. My guess is that 3.x won't come with a brand new Touch until the next generation is introduced.
As far as the incessant "do you wanna buy 3.0" message, that may eventually go away if you decline it enough times.

New Ipod touch won't sync with window's vista/itunes 9.2 - help!!

I charged my brand new ipod touch via my computer, have it plugged it into my computer's USB port, and Itunes acknowledges the device in the left hand menu BUT it automatically says "itunes could not connect to the itunes store. The network connection has timed out". The ipod will not sync with my itunes! I tried connection/disconnecting, turning the ipod on and off, and restarting the computer. No luck. What do I need to do? Please help, I was so excited to get the new ipod and now I can't use it! I have window's vista and I don't know anything about how to check or change computer settings that might be preventing the store from opening (it used to open, but I haven't tried in a while and I just downloaded version 9.2 today).

Welcome to the discussions,
make sure your computer is authorized in the Store menu and check your security settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125

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.

My new Ipod touch won't work with my Alpine CDE-125BT car stereo.

I bought the new Ipod touch. I am dissapointed because I can't get it to work with my fairly new Apline car stereo. This radio has an ipod cable which worked with my ipod classic. I called alpine they told me to buy the Apple 30 pin to lightnig adapter, I did and it still didn't work. The radio also has bluetooth. I was able to connect ipod through bluetooth, but music wouldn't play through the radio. Is anybody having the same issue as me and is there any advice. Thanks.

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?
It could be that the car system is not compatible with the iOS on the iPod. Sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility. I would pursue that with the car system manufacturer. Ask it they tested the car system with a 5G iPod with the adopter.

Is new iPod Touch 5 now shipping with iOS7?

   Was just wondering is the new iPod Touch now shipping with iOS7 or still (6.1.3) depending on the date of manufacture. Because on the Apple website it's still stating the system requirements for iTunes is still 10.7. When did it require iTunes 11 on the (iOS7 or the iOS7.2) update?
   If they're now shipping with (iOS7). Apple forgot to update that page because it still stating the minimum requirements for iTunes is still iTunes (10.7) Not that it really affects me because I have iPod Touch (4th gen) and running (iOS 6.1.3) but I though I would point that out anyways.

   I know but now if you've upgraded or it ships with iOS7 in order to sync with iTunes a message pops up and states in order to sync this iPod you now have to have iTunes 11. Now if you want to manage your IPod Touch (5th) your forced to download iTunes 11, that is unless the iPod is still at (6.1.3).

New iPod Touch will not pair with New Resound Linx hearing aid

Greetings
Received a new pair of hearing aids aweek ago, Resound Linx. Very nice indeed.
Days after I purchase a New iPod Touch, down loaded all updates and the Resound Smart app.
Followed instructions to the letter but am unable to pair the hearing aids with the iPod.
Hearing aids work fine and have fresh batteries. Bluetooth turned on, iPod continues to search
but can not find hearing aids. Has anyone had this problem, can anyone offer any suggestions.
Many Thanks
David

When will the new ipod touch 6th gen come out?

When is the ipod touch 6th gen. suppose to come out?

Apple has not announced any new iPod models, and until they do none of us here, who are all fellow users, will have any idea. In the past, any new models of the iPod touch were announced in the fall, but whether Apple will continue this pattern or indeed if they have plans for any future new iPod touch models at all is unknown. We'll just have to wait and see.
Regards.

New ipod touch won't sync with my iTunes

I am old time iTunes user who just got new Ipod touch. It starts to sync but at last step message is "Waiting for next stage" or something and it won't sync. I tried everything I can think of. I have lastes iTunes version. My old ipod still updates and syncs works fine.

Maybe this:
"Waiting for changes to be applied": Apple Support Communities
or
'waiting for items to...: Apple Support Communities
If not what did the message say?

New iPod Touch won't sync with iTunes as iTunes hangs

Hello,
I got a new iPod Touch yesterday after my old iPod Video died. Brought it home, connected it and all seemed fine until iTunes (that had worked flawlessly for years) just stopped (app stops responding).
I can kill the app and restart and it just starts over again, but never gets all the way thru sync.
I looked for a newer version but says I've got the latest.
Any suggestions? Don't suppose I can sync via WiFi?
thanks,
Chris

Hey Chris, I got this off iPhonenano.net
Occasionally your iPhone or iPod touch starts syncing when you connected it to your Mac only to drop out of the sync process. Even worse, once the cycle stops, it continues every time you plug your handheld in. This fix is fairly easy, but you won't find it in iTunes. You'll know know if you are suffering from this little headache because your iPhone or iPod touch will begin the sync process, but stops unexpectedly. iTunes will display a dialog warning you that your handheld stopped communicating and the sync process was cancelled. Here's how to break the cycle so and sync as normal again:
Connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your Mac/Pc
After the sync process fails, launch iSync. You can find it in your Applications folder.
Select iSync > Preferences.
Click the Reset Sync History button.
iSync will display a dialog explaining what happens when you reset the sync history. Go ahead and click the second Reset Sync History button.
Quit iSync.
Now you should be able to sync your iPhone or iPod touch again without any hassles. Since your sync history has been reset, your first post-rest sync may take longer than you expect. Depending on how much information is stored on your handheld, that could be a few extra seconds or several minutes.
Hope this helps,
Arnie
