TS1559 My iPod Touch 3rd Gen I think (Doesn't have a camera), bluetooth and wi-fi grayed

My iPod Touch's Bluetooth and Wi-fi are now grayed out, I have tried everything to fix it.  It happened right after I upgraded it to the new iOS 5.1.1,  could this be an effect caused by the new iOS firmware?  It has not been dropped, thrown, broken, wet, etc.  Is this an affect the new firmware had on it?  Will it be fixed with iOS 6 or is it permanent?

It's clear it isn't under warranty so I would check the link above first. Also I'm sorry to say you will not be running ios6 on that device anytime soon as it is not supported. Check the very bottom of http://www.apple.com/ios/ios6/ sorry I couldn't make it a link I'm on an iPad writing this.

  • My IPod touch 3rd gen. 8GB doesn't have any of the capabilities a "3rd gen." has.  If I would have known this I might have purchased a 16 GB or 32 GB instead.  Why did apple make such a product?  Can I do something about this?

    Please help.

    That's because it's not actually a 3G iPod Touch. It's a 2G unit. Apple never sold 3G 8 GB iPod Touches, but some third party resellers erronenously reffered to them as so.

    Hold down the on/off button and the home button for 20 to 30 sec, when the iPod starts and the Apple logo is on the screen release the on/off button but continue to hold the home button until you see the plug into iTunes screen.  Connect the iPod to iTunes and you should be good to go.

  • My iPod touch (3rd gen) isn't putting out sound other than static and high pitched noises through the tv hookup, the built in speakers, and headphones. Can anyone tell me what's wrong and how to fix it?

    Everything on my iPod touch (3rd gen) works just fine except the audio out put.

    Try #2 and #3 in link below. If neither work, you most likely have a hardware issue. Contact Apple or a third-party service center.

  • My iPod touch 3rd gen. 32gb doesn't allow me to access my "Saved Photos" because the "Albums" banner covers it. This occurred with last week's update.

    My iPod 3rd gen 32gb won't allow me to see my "Saved Photos" because the "Albums" banner covers it. This occurred with last week's update.

    I've read that the only cure is opening the Multitaskbar by double clicking the home button, search for the photo app, tap on it until it starts to shake and hit the little "Minus-icon" in the left corner. Then close the bar again and try again to open the photo app.

  • I recently purchased new Mac Mini with Lion installed. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini.

    I recently purchased a new Mac Mini with Lion installed. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini. Everything else syncs great, and iCal syncs from my Mini to my Touch. My Touch has the latest iOS installed. I have tried rebooting my Touch, removing the sync calendars option from iTunes>Info and checking it again after applying and closing iTunes, and restarting my Mini. Any help will be appreciated!

  • IPod Touch 3rd gen stuck in the middle of 5.1.1 download?

    I started a remote software (5.1.1 I believe) update on my iPod touch 3rd gen (through the settings), but I am on vacation and do not have access to my own iTunes account to plug in to for another two weeks. Now my iPod is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen and I've tried restarting it and everything and it just won't budge. How do I cancel the installation and get it off the screen?

    - Yes when you go home you can restore from backup.
    - You can also restore now. If you have no iCloud backup you can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    and at least have some use of the iPod now. When you get home you can restore from your backup

  • Will Apple cover me if updating to iOS5 on ipod Touch 3rd gen ruins/bricks it?

    I have heard stories of some people's apple products not working/bricked after attempting to upgrade to iOS5.
    I have a 1.5 year old ipod Touch 3rd gen. No warranty on it from Apple (tho I do have one from Square Trade for ADH, but I called them and they said if it is a software issue, they don't cover it.)
    I am very concerned about d/ling the ios5 upgrade and it ruining my ipod touch.  In effect, I will take a device that could fetch almost $200 on ebay (which I could then use to upgrade to a Touch 5gen), and turn it into a worthless piece of junk if I upgrade and it ruins it.
    Also, I know that they have released 5.0.1 (beta I believe?) for update.   I still read stories on here from people waiting until now (Nov, a month after it was first released when so many people tried to d/l it and had terrible problems), but now are still getting network timed out error msgs, etc.
    So is there ANY protection from Apple if their update should screw my ipod touch??
    Should I just wait longer for a final, stable version  of ios 5? (like v5.1)  Or just totally skip the iOS 5 upgrade and stay safe with iOS 4?  I don't know that it is really worth the $200 loss risk to upgrade to iOS5.  (i.e. 3rd gen doesn't have the ability to find and lock/wipe my lost touch, etc.)
    I do know that I should:
    1) install itunes 10.5 anew on my laptop  (itunes and syncing WAS done on my tower, until I just got it back from being serviced for some Major problems/virues/malware/etc.  I'm not comfortable using it, as the problems on it included not being able to start Local Services, connect to the internet, no audio services, etc.  The guy says it is booting up and services are working now, but you never know....But i digress...)
    2) be on AC and not battery on my laptop
    3) be hardwired (ethernet) to the internet and not use my wireless connection
    4) turn off Windows 7 Firewall, and disable my PC Tools Spyware Docter with Antivirus.
    So, what do you all think? should I wait until later to upgrade to say os 5.1?  Should I even RISK upgrading to iOS5 on a touch 3gen and lose almost $200 cash?  And will Apple give me ANY protection should it ruin my touch?  (I seriously doubt it.)
    Thanks for input.

    Before proceeding with the update, it wouldn't hurt to manually back up the iPod in iTunes by right->clicking on it from under the Devices section and choosing Backup.    See this article for more information on what is stored in the backup.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    Also make sure that any content you may have synced to the device from iTunes, such as Music, movies, TV Shows, podcasts, etc. are all stored on your computer and in iTunes before updating the iPod's version of iOS.
    Otherwise, I would go ahead with the upgrade.  I didn't have any issues with it on my iPhone.

  • IPod Touch 3rd gen reboots: panic CRC ERR

    My 14 year old daughter had an iPod Touch 3rd gen that, with less than a month to go on the warranty, the touchscreen stopped working.  Took it in to the Apple store, where they tried to see if they could resuscitate it by upgrading iOS, reseting to factory defaults, and a couple other magic clicks they tried.  All to no avail.  They checked the liquid damage indicator, found no damage, and then agreed to replace the device.  I walked out with a new (?) device and was happy.
    A couple months later I overheard my daughter asking if she could have her mom's Touch.  I asked why she wasn't using her Touch, and she told me that it has rebooted randomly since we got the replacement.  Of course, I was incensed that she didn't say something sooner - like, before the warranty ran out. Knowing that the warrany had expired, I started to research the problem on Apple's forums and the Internet.
    Most of the information I found seemed to indicate that certain versions of iOS seemed to incite these kinds of problems. So I went through several exercises to try upgrading, downgrading, restoring the device, DFU mode, etc.  Still, the problems continued.  I upgraded the device over the weeks and months, hoping to find the magic version that would stop this.  I tried removing apps, not installing any apps at all, putting music on slowly instead of syncing large amounts of data, etc.
    A day or two ago I installed iOS 5.  It seemed like it was going to work fine, but still periodically it would crash - including during the upgrade process itself, during the restore after the upgrade, when running large apps, when running small apps, and even when not doing anything at all.  In fact the reboots complicated the process such that I could no longer sync without an error, so I had to reinstall the OS again earlier today. I was at dinner tonight and looked over when something caught the corner of my eye - it had gone to the Apple boot screen all by itself, when it was simply sitting there not being used.
    I found General -> About -> Diagnostics & Usage -> Diagnostic & Usage Data, and see eight files:
    (4) files called 2011-10-15-xxxxxx.panic.plist (I assume xxxxxx is a time of day, since the latest one is from dinnertime)
    (4) files called ResetCounter-2011-10-15-xxx (rest of file name is cut off, xxx is first three digits of above xxxxxx)
    I opened them and they all look relatively similar (latest one shown):
    panic.plist:

    Now I'm no Apple genius, but CRC ERR to me means a memory problem (cyclic redundancy check, stored checksum of memory contents does not match calculated checksum of same).  The fact that there is a file for each crash since I reinstalled iOS indicates to me that this device is panicking because of a memory problem.
    I am generally happy with the Apple i* line - our family has an iPad, an iPad 2, an iPhone 3GS, an iPhone 4, 3 iPod 3rd Gens, and our daughter is on track to get an iPhone 4 for her birthday next month. What concerns me is that they have given me a refurbished device with a problem, and I am powerless to do anything about it?  The flat rate repair cost for the device is $149, but I feel that they gave me a device that wasn't working to begin with.
    Any advice on how to deal with Apple in a case like this?  The device is, of course, not covered by warranty, and they want an unspecified amount of money for a single telephone incident, wherein I believe they will simply tell me/confirm that I have a hardware issue. I would like them to look in their records and see what the problem was with the original device they refurbished, because I suspect that they didn't find fault and simply repackaged it.
    I am prepared to talk to them - I think I will go to the store, though, because there are scant few appointments available for someone to call me in the next week.  I am even prepared to pay the money, if I thought I had a decent chance of getting some satisfaction in this.  But after reading some other customers' experiences with AppleCare, I tend to believe that the tier-1 support people won't satisfy.
    The device was easily $250 when I first bought it for her, and I feel somewhat cheated if they simply repackaged dead hardware.  But it's my word against theirs at this point.
    Again, simply looking for advice on how I might bring this to the attention of people who care and aren't just reading from a troubleshooting flowchart.
    Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions, including if anyone knows of a resolution that I haven't tried?

    My problem is exactly the same, and I have not found a solution. I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch with 32 GB, recently upgraded to iOS 5. My iPod reboots randomly, regardless of what it's being used for, and sometimes even when it's not being used. My "crash reports" in Settings -> General -> About -> Diagnostics & Usage -> Diagnostic & Usage Data directory are very similar:

  • I downloaded a recommended update and since then my ipod touch (3rd gen) is frozen and wont turn on (1604 error)

    I downloaded a recommended update and since then my ipod touch (3rd gen) is frozen and will not turn on. I try restoring factory settings but the process terminates with a 1604 error. I have researched this problem on the net and think i have tried everything, but still no joy. I have tried removing all apple and itunes software and reinstalling, updating the apple drivers - nothing has worked. I am using itunes 10.3 on my pc, windows xp.
    If anyone can help me i would be extremely grateful - I am off on holiday on thursday and would love to have my ipod with me!
    Many thanks in advance.
    Craig.

    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for error 1604.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
    iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
