New iTouch didn't come with iPod touch 0S 3!!

I bought a new 16GB iPod touch at the end of July, but for some reason it didn't ship with the third version of the iPhone and iPod touch operating system. Instead it came with the second version. Surely I am entitled to download the new software free of charge??
Any help would be much appreciated . . .

OS 3.0 is sold separately as noted at the bottom of the iPod touch Software Update page:
http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/softwareupdate.html
Apple have not yet announced any iPod touches that ship with v3.0 pre-installed, which is why all the product pages for the iPod touch on the Apple web-site, only list features in v2.0
http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/
In the last 4 or 5 years new iPod models have been released in September.
1st generation iPod touch were shipped with OS v1.0
2nd generation iPod touch are shipped with OS v2.0
3rd generation iPod touches and ones that ship with OS v3.0 have not been announced.

  • Cd didn't come with ipod nano...

    On the site it says every ipod comes with a cd to install software... but my green 4GB ipod didn't come with one... I even checked the store to make sure I wasn't missing anything... my mini had a cd with it so i was wondering why my nano didn't

    Where did you see this?
    Here is from the iPod page at the Apple store;
    "iTunes
    Available as a free download"
    No, the Nano does not come with a disc.
    Go here -> iTunes Free download
    to download iTunes (that's all you need).
    Here is a link for the iPod Nano Users manual.

  • New imac didn't come with idvd, help!

    I am brand new to the mac world, I was so excited to use the imovie app...the whole reason I decided to switch over to mac...only to find out that the newest imac does not come with idvd or iweb???? I have talked with tech support several times, but I'm still confused.  Can I purchase iLife 11 from amazon and will it be compatible with my imac/imovie program??? I need something with simplicity!!! which is why i went with mac to begin with:/ very disappointed...

    I hear you... unfortunately, Lion does not support iDVD >  http://www.apple.com/ilife/
    If you want the other components of iLife you need to purchase those from the Mac App Store.
    You can access the App Store from your Apple menu icon top left in your screen.
    Or from the App Store icon in your Dock
    Or from your Applications folder.
    You can use iPhoto to create slideshows and burn that to disc.

    They don't perform well at all, which is one thing I don't like so much

  • New iMac didn't come with iLife

    Hi,
    I just bought a new iMac from Futureshop and don't have garageband, imovie or iphoto installed. Any help out there?

    Those are "bundled" apps, which means they are included as an incentive to buy the computer. Unlike iTunes they are not considered free.
    If Futureshop didn't sell them with the iMac, you have to buy them individually from the App Store.

  • What are the little plastic pieces that come with iPod Touch used for?

    One piece is white and the other is clear. Can someone show me how to use them?

    The white piece is an adapter that you use when resting your iPod in an iPod dock. The clear piece is a stand that you can put your iPod on when you are charging through you USB cable, or just watching a film, etc. Place it flat on a table, and then place your iPod sideways in the divot.

  • I am using new laptop with ipod touch and have downloaded i.tunes.  in the past i.tunes showed all the tracks on my old i.pod.  I can't seem to find the i.touch library to change or delete music. What am I not doing?

    I am using a new laptop, windows 7, with ipod touch, hoping to listen to, whilst on line, edit and add music to my ipod library.  I have downloaded i.tunes but it does not show my library.  I know I have repeats to delete too but cant see anything, It does recognise that there is a body of music with the indication bar at the bottom., but does not list anything.  Help

    I attempted to back up my old iPod, but in File - Library - back up to disk, it's asking for 15 disks!  I can't just back up to the PC/ext HDD that I can see.
    That backing up your iTunes library, not your iPod. You can backup up your library by:
    iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
    First you have to get Itunes to see the iPod. See the following. Notupdating your iPod iOS has nothing to do with it.
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    You can transfer iTune spurchases from the iPod to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    You can also redownload iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer.
    For other music yo will need a thrid-party progtam like one of those discussed here:
    newer copy

  • New macbook air didn't come with Mavericks?

    I ordered a MBA last week from the apple store and received it today -ordered it with additional RAM.  I am surprised it didn't come with Mavericks installed since the version of the OS was released last month.  Anyone know a reason for this?

    There are a few people getting such machines, they can do it for you at the Apple store if you need help, its free regardless.
    As for "new old stock" , we are talking about something thats only a few weeks old as "old stock without mavericks".

  • Help with Ipod touch + new computer

    I've got a new computer, but havent connected my ipod touch as I'm scared it might delete everything on my ipod. I don't have too many music tracks and they are all on cd anyway so I can add the music to the new computer, no problem there.
    But what about the apps on the ipod touch. Do I have to reinstall all of them again?

    Apps can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store

  • IOS 7 didn't come with photo editor?

    When I downloaded iOS 7, I noticed that mine didn't upgrade fully. Some of my friends had the photo editor that iOS 7 came with and I didn't. It's not a big deal but if like to know why mine didn't come with it.
    I have an iPhone 4 and I've had it for about two years. My company is sprint, if that matters.

    Hey Opal99,
    It sounds like you might be referring to the filters within the Camera application itself. I found this info:
    Filters in Camera are available on iPhone 4s or later and iPod touch (5th generation 32GB/64GB)
    via: http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/
    You should be able to edit photos from the Photos application. You can read about that here:
    Edit photos and trim videos

  • Apple Universal Dock works with iPod Touch 3G right?

    I didn't see it in the "works with" section.
    They did have iPod Touch 2G though.
    So will it work for the new Touch?

    I got the 3 Gen iPod Touch and the Universal dock,I can use the dock to sycn my iPod touch with my macbook pro,so I believe the Universal dock can't work perfectly with iPod touch 3G.

  • Outlook 2010 Syncing With iPod Touch and iPad

    I have a PC with Outlook 2003 that sync’s with iPod Touch and iPad. I plan to buy a new PC with Windows 7 and Outlook 2010. Comcast tells me they don’t support Outlook (They support Outlook Express) but Outlook 2003 currently works fine on my PC with Windows XP. I have the following questions:
    - . Is there an alternative to Outlook 2010 that will sync with my iPod Touch and iPad?
    - Will Outlook Express sync with my iPod Touch and iPad and is Outlook Express still available?
    - What is Microsoft Exchange?
    Thanks for your help. LCP

    Just look at page 26 of the new US) users guide. It specifically says that the iPad syncs with Outlook 2010 (as well as 2003 and 2007). However, Comcast's mail help page only lists OL 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2007.

  • Will FM receiver work with iPod Touch?

    Hi there! I haven't posted for a while...
    I really want an iPod Touch, and have been doing my research online...one of the main complains that keeps coming up is that the iPod Touch doesn't have a volume button. I have a 1st gen iPod Nano, and for that I have an FM receiver (Apple brand, not some cheapo junk). If I can use that with a Touch, then there would be no problem, but the new iPod receiver box doesn't mention that it works with the Touch. If anyone has tried it and could tell me, that would be awesome.
    Just one last thing...I also read that people were having problems with the colour black on their screens, that it appeared all shimmery. Has a patch come through for that, or has it been fixed?
    Thank you in advance!
    Alex

    - No, Apple's iPod Radio Remote does not work with iPod touch. Look for compatible devices on the online Apple Store.
    - I don't think a patch can solve it, but the screen problem was only in the beginning, I don't think it's still an issue.
