Trouble with unlocking and locking a 3rd gen iPod touch

When I lock or unlock my iPod it will either re unlock itself or relock itself so if I was to lock my iPod right now it would unlock and be at my lock screen and if I press the button again it will lock and relock right away again I have to do this about 3 times before it will lock for once I did everything that the site said and nothing helped

Saying you tried everthing since it does not tell us what yu did try.
Have your restored the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod?
Is so and still have a problem then you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I have a 3rd gen Ipod touch and when i connect it to my Macbook pro to sync it with itunes, it doesn't show up on iTunes. When I connect my iPhone 6 to my computer it syncs, backs up, ect. How do I connect this older iPod to my iTunes?

    Hi ChristianHelpplz,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It seems like your iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes on your Mac, but your iPhone 6 is working normally.
    I recommend starting with these steps to troubleshoot your iPod touch and connection with your Mac:
    Check your USB connections
    Unplug other USB devices from your Mac and try again.
    Try a different USB port.
    Try a different USB cable.
    Restart your device
    Restart your iOS device or reset your iPod.
    Restart your Mac
    Turn your Mac off and back on.
    Update your software
    Check for software updates on your Mac.
    Check for an iTunes update.
    Check your security software
    If you have security software installed, learn how to resolve issues between iTunes and your security software.
    From:
    If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
    If you've tried these steps and your iPod touch is still not recognized, try placing it into Recovery Mode next:
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Sincerely,
    Jeremy

  • 3rd gen iPod touch lock button issues

    Recently my 3rd gen iPod touch started giving me problems with the lock button.  If I press the lock button the screen will turn on and off rapidly and then the power off screen will come up.  It will just keep doing this over and over; I've tried to restore it but no luck there.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Sounds like the switch needs to be replaced. You might try this until you get it serviced.

    I have a 3rd gen iPod touch and I downloaded the most recent itunes, ever since I did, only the first song syncs to the ipod. As soon as it gets to the second, it still says its syncing.

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync

    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.

  • 3rd-Gen Ipod Touch Overheating All the Time!

    I have a 3rd-Gen Ipod Touch, 32gb that I bought over a year ago. I've never had a problem with it before until about two weeks ago and it's concerning me quite a bit. Whenever I use it, within 5 minutes it becomes very hot, mostly on the bottom near where it charges. Within 10 minutes, the heat has spread throughout the whole device and has become so hot that I can no longer hold it. This happens all the time, not when it's charging. I'm worried that it will overheat to the point that I can no longer use it.
    Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way that I can fix this? Do I have to have the battery replaced or something?
    I appreciate any feedback, and thanks.

    Sounds like a bad battery. Search ebay, there are people who provide the replacement service for as low as $19.

  • Why won't iTunes 11.0.1 sync my Podcasts to my 3rd Gen iPod Touch on IOS 6.0.1?

    Why won't iTunes 11.0.1 sync my Podcasts to my 3rd Gen iPod Touch on IOS 6.0.1?  I'm running iTunes on my MacBook with Mac OSX 10.6.8.  I've checked to make sure in iTunes that the Podcast Sync box is checked and it is.  I've tried checking communities and tried several suggestions and nothing seems to work for me.  Everything else syncs except Podcasts.  I can't figure it out. Any suggestions to get Podcasts syncing to my iPod Touch again?  Thanks!

    One other step I've tried was removing and completely reinstalling the playlist to the iPod. That cleared up the problem for about two days.
