Newlly restored 3rd generation Ipod (version 4.2.1) wont allow internet or blue tooth. Help?

My newlly restored Ipod wont let me enter the wifi password in order to use the wifi. When you go to the wifi tab, it wont let you click on it and looks white. How do I get it to let me use the wifi tan again? It use to go online no problem and then I restored it after not using it for about a year and it just doesnt want to let me use the wifi.
Thanks for your help!

  • 3rd Generation iPod version update

    I have a 3rd generation iPod touch(I've checked already), would it be possible for me to update to the LATEST (iOS 5 I think...) version? If so, how?

    What do you think of it?

  • I have a 3rd Generation iPod that will not connect to Home Wi-Fi- keeps dismissing- saying unable to connect.

    I have a 3rd Generation iPod that will NOT connect to our internet connection at home. Message on screen keeps saying it is 'unable' to connect. Yes I have already reset to default factory settings, No we do not have our service encrypted or password protected, anyone else have any other viable suggestions as to how to fix this problem?

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iPod connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - 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.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - 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.

  • HT4972 I have the 3rd generation ipod touch and it is saying that version 4.2.1 is the current version and there is no mention of ios5

    Apple says ios 5 works with the 3rd generation ipod but the highest os i have is 4.2.1?!?!?! help!

    If 4.2.1 is the latest version, then you have a 2nd gen iPod, not 3rd.

  • HT4972 I am attempting to update the software on my 3rd generation ipod touch using itunes.  I understand I must erase and restore everything first.  Must I do this with my ipod plugged in to my pc?

    I am attempting to update the software on my 3rd generation ipod touch. I understand I need to erase and restore my device first.  Must I do this with it plugged into my pc? 

    All you have to do is connect the iPod to our computer and update via iTunes. You do not have to seperately erase and restore the iPod. That is done automatically as part of the update process.
    To update see:
    iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
    You need iTunes 10.5 or later on the computer. Y will go to iOS 5.1.1. the last update fopr the 3G

  • I have 3rd Generation IPod Touch, it does not boot up.  We have tried to restore, but we are stilling receiving errors.  Any ideas?

    I have a 3rd generation IPod Touch that no longer boot up.  I've downloaded the recovery, but it does not work.  It just lights up briefly and then we receive a message that the IPod drivers are not readable.  Any ideas what we can do to resolve?

    If iTunes is not seeing the iPod try:'
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    You said you "download the recovery"?  What is the recovery?

  • Recently downloaded new ITunes.  Can't get my 3rd generation iPod shuffle to load songs in order.  Help????

    Recently downloaded new iTunes.  Now I can't get my 3rd generation iPod shuffle to load songs in order.  Never had trouble with the old iTunes format.

    I love the new version of Grid view but some of the other changes feel like they still need some fine tuning. And I miss cover flow even if I didn't use it that often...
    You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
    Ctrl-B to turn on the menu bar.
    Ctrl-S to turn on the sidebar (your device should be listed here as before).
    Ctrl-/ to turn on the status bar.
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour.
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (but perhaps it does more)
    If you want to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and suppporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

  • 3rd generation ipod touch that will no longer sync but charges

    I have a 3rd generation ipod touch.  It was syncing to my itunes just fine and then one day it stopped syncing.  It shows that its charging but never syncs anything.  When i click to do a manual sync, it goes through the process but does not transfer any music.  Any suggestions.  I am running windows 7 64bit if that makes any difference with the newest version of itunes. 

    On your computer go to the control panel (hover in the lower right corner) then programs, add/remove programs
    Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support then go to apple.com and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
    You won't lose any content, you're not deleting that, just the programs that access them.
    What is thought to happen is that sometimes a new version of itunes doesn't update the drivers in those other two programs. The only way to update the drivers is to force it by uninstalling the programs which allows itunes to write the correct ones.
    My iPad and iPod did exactly the same thing and this is how I fixed it.

  • Can someone tell me how to backup my 3rd generation ipod touch?

    I have a 64GB 3rd generation ipod touch. I have been  trying for the past two days to back it up to my laptop but it will not work. I have heard that if i update it without backing it up it will delete everything on my ipod and I really dont want to do that unless it is a last resort. Should I just update it and start from scratch or keep trying? Please someone help me .

    Follow these instructions. When you restore from backup as the article says, the iPod will also be updated

  • I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list.

    I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list. I've confirmed the mac address is included on that list and that the password is correct. Under choses netwrok I select the network and it just goes into a spin. I have tried removing the password and the access list settings and it still will not complete the connection to the router thus no internet access. The routers firmware is also up to date. This thing worked fine before this update and I've already tried to restore from backup. Any ideas or is the wifi nic bad in this thing with the new apple firmware update? Any fix?

    Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

  • No Photo tab under source list for 3rd generation ipod nano

    I have a 2nd generation ipod nano and recently purchased a 3rd generation ipod nano. I have the latest version of itunes, however, there is no photo tab under the source list. How am I supposed to import my photos?

    I am a brand new ipod user and I have not been able to find the summary, music videos and photos tabs. I have gone into every tab up on the Itunes tool bar and poked around but still can't find it. No such page opens up when I connect the nano. Can someone please help?
    Thanks in advance.

  • How can I delete songs downloaded from Limewire on my 3rd Generation iPod Nano?

    I have a friend with the 3rd Generation iPod Nano that downloads music from Limewire on her iPod. She does not have an iTunes and wants to erase all the music tracks on her iPod but does not know how. What does she need to do?

    Your friend will have to do this via iTunes. All she needs to do is connect the iPod to the computer the click the link to iTunes on the side bar, click "Restore" and everything will be restored to original (factory) settings and all songs will be deleted.

  • Itunes is not reading 3rd generation ipod. help please.

    ok so here is the deal. i just bought a 3rd generation ipod for my lil sister and itunes does not read it at all. but i have a 2nd generation ipod myself and it works just fine. i have done the 5 R thing and it still does not work. anyone have any suggestions?

    Restoring it will erase the songs from your iPod, but not iTunes. It's simply a matter of loading them again from your library.
    I think this is your only option.
