Talk to the person you bought it from. They should have opened up the device before they sold it.

I just purchased a used 3rd generation Ipod Touch and the latest software is iOS 4.2.1 and I have been trying to download apps (Facebook, Words w/Friends, etc.), but they all say I need to have iOS 5. Help!
Here are some tools to search for compatible apps (The first one is my recommendation).
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
I personally havent looked for any clones of Words With Friends, but I bet you can find something.
Here are a couple apps which say they are compatible with Facebook:
Chatnow for Facebook
Friends Planet 2

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.

My ipod touch (2nd or 3rd generation) won't recognize headphones anymore! I have'nt gotten it wet or dropped it. I've tried cleaning out the plug where you plug the headphones in. I've had no luck. Is this fixable or is it time to trash this iPod?
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

Replace the jack yourself

It i likely not worth getting it fixed if a bad headphone jack -
I was using my 3G ipod touch and i slid the power off button to turn it off and the loading screen before it shuts off wont allow my ipod to turn off. i cant do anything because my ipod has the loading screen still on it. HELP!!
Try a hard reset. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. Then try shutting your iPod off again.

What happens when you try to update/restore Erro message?
Is is a 2G iPod? They look the same.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318. -

I've tried both settings>wallpaper to select a photo and also gone into my photos folder and pushing "set as wallpaper" so I don't know what to try next. I've also tried changing the background to one of the preloaded images and it still didn't work.
Yes, that's the 3rd-gen iPod. What version of iOS is on the iPod? Have you tried restarting it?

I tried synching my 2nd generation ipod touch and it told me to update the software. Then it said "error 37" and could not complete updating but it has left me with an ipod that is not recognised by my pc and wont turn on or anything- just black
Error 20, 21, 34, 37: These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. If you are using a PC, follow this article to resolve this issue.

Please help.... do I have a 2nd or 3rd gen iPod touch?
I bought an iPod Touch for my father in February from an Amazon seller (happybook1). I ordered a 3rd generation iPod Touch on purpose because I don't have Snow Leopard OS and I wanted to be able to plug it into my OS 10.4 computer.
Yesterday my father decided to bite the bullet and asked me to upgrade his iPod Touch from iOS 3.1 to iOS 4.1. However, when I tried it kept freezing (not the issue here). I wen't to apple.com and put the serial number into their warranty section and it said the iPod is a 2nd generation iPod!!!!!!!!!
Here is the serial number 9C035RM475J
Angrilly, I wrote the Amazon seller and insisted she give me a refund.... I couldn't believe she had sold me a 2nd generation iPod!! But she immediately responded with this:
Thank for your e-mail, the ipod I sent you is considered the 3rd gen, its part number MC086ll/A is the part number matches amazons listing category for the 3rd gen. You can find this part number on the bottom of the box as well as under settings.
The part number for the 2nd gen. touch is MB528LL/A. The model MC086ll/a does show in apples website as a 2nd gen because the only difference between the two is that the 3rd gen. model MC086ll/a came preloaded with the iphone 3.1 software and the second gen. didn't. So apple changed the part numbers and the software from the 2nd to the 3rd but it will show as a second in their website, there is no touch that shows as a 3rd gen in apples website.
Apple can verify this with you if you call them but I just wanted to explain why it shows that way in there site, but I did list it in Amazons 3rd gen. category because it is listed by the part number and they categorize it as a 3rd.
So I just wanted to let you know I didn't list it wrong you can check it by the part numbers in Amazon. Apple is up to 4.2 software version now so it will prompt you to update the software anyway when you connect it so you should have the lastet software. Is the ipod working ok now that you updated.
Now I'm confused.... do I have a 3rd gen or is this seller just lying her pants off??
I was able to restore the software into 4.1 but it is sluggish..... I'm thinking because it is really a 2nd gen with a slower processor?
Can someone please help me to figure out the truth?? Should I insist she refund me (though she probably won't) or accept this answer as the truth? Does it make a difference... the difference between 2nd adn 3rd gen?
Please help... thanks!!Look at the back of the iPod. What model number is actually shown on the unit? And what is the capacity of the unit? If it's an 8GB iPod touch it's a second-generation, regardless of what your seller is claming. Apple never made a 3rd-generation 8GB iPod touch. Some resellers incorrectly refer to the 8GB with iOS 3 as "3rd generation", but that was never a designation approved by Apple."3rd-generation" properly only applies to the 32GB and 64GB iPods Apple released in September 2009, models which have faster hardware.

I just downloaded a new software update to my ipod touch and now the ipod and screen are frozen. I received a message that the download was not successful and now my screen is showing the blue round itunes symbol with an arrow pointing to the symbol and shows a cable below it. I have tried the restart of pushing the two buttons together and waiting 10 seconds for the apple symbol which appears and then go backs to the same stuck symbol. My computer is not recognizing the ipod either and will not connect. What needs to be done? Thanks.
Try manually placin the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes.
