How do i tell what gen my ipod touch is ?

how do i tell what gen my ipod touch is ? I downloaded an app that requires os 4.0 or later but mine wont update past 3.1.3.

You would then have an iPod touch 1st generation, the latest for that is indeed 3.1.3

My gen 3 iPod Touch seems to have duplicated all my music since updating to IOS 5 so that it now only holds half as much. What can I do about it? I'm using the same iTunes library with OS 10.6 and all software up to date.

Is the camera damaged? Could be a hardware problem.
Try:
Close the Camera app in the multitasking bar, then try again.
Restart/Reset/Restore your iPod. In that order.

HT201263 gen 5 iPod touch disabled. What now?

Bought gen 5 iPod touch for my daughter. She has managed to disable it by putting in the wrong screen lock code numerous times. Now what? I have put it into reset mode and done a update but then what? Still keeps asking on screen for unlock code but can't put one in because iPod is disabled...... round and round we go...!

This is asked and answered many times every day, including several in the past few minutes. It is also covered in the manual.
The forum search bar is on the right side of this page as is the More Like this section
Do as the manual says and restore the ipod.
If you ware unable then type "unable to restore" into the search bar at the top of this page by Support and read the resulting help article.

1st Gen. Ipod Touch does not see my wifi

Hello all, I have been struggling with this issue for a couple of hours and I am stuck. Any insight would be appreciated.
My 1st gen. Ipod touch no longer sees my wireless network. This is preventing me from connecting, obviously. The Ipod sees other wireless networks, such as my neighbors, but not mine. Other devices, such as my laptop and my printer both see and connect to the wireless network fine. I am at a loss for what to do next.
What I have tried:
Power cycling my Ipod.
Resetting network settings on my Ipod.
Resetting all settings on the Ipod.
Power cycling my wireless router.
Additional information:
I am running the latest Ipod and router firmware, so far as I can tell.
I recently bought a new router, which may be the source of the trouble. It is a standard Belkin 108.11b/g router. I haven't done anything fancy with the settings, other than to change the defauly SSID and set up wireless security.
My wireless router is set to broadcast an SSID.
My wireless router is set to use WPA/WPA2 encryption (though I don't think that should affect its visibility).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

But if this is your old iPod, perhaps it is the battery. It may no longer be able to hold charge, that's what happens to old batteries.
Have you tried turning it on while it's connected to power? When you unplug the iPod from any power and try turning it on, look at the battery icon (if it's there). Is it full when it turns on and what level does it show just before it turns itself off again?

3rd gen 8GB ipod touch stuck on connect to itunes

This isn't fair. I just bought this 3rd gen 8gb ipod touch (my first ipod ever, only owned Mp3 players) from best buy today and i can't even use it...
I'm going to start from square one, this will be long-winded, so forgive me in advance. But detail might help you guys help me out...
Okay, all giddy with excitement I boot up my touch for the first time. It tells me to connect it to itunes. I do that, hooking up the touch to the computer via usb. Vista detects it, installs the "apple mobile device" drivers just fine. Good, so then I open up itunes -- latest version -- and it's telling me to set up my ipod; name it, etc. Alright, I'm almost bursting at the seams here with excitement, but then itunes is notifying me that iOS4 is out. I upgrade, it takes a few minutes to do its stuff, it's done, and bam it's working. I play with the ipod a little bit, looking at the apps that already came with it. I disconnect, play with it, then reconnect to the computer again.
So now, itunes for some reason is doing a "recovery" process -- i did not tell it to initiate this. So it's in the process of "recovering" (backing up, i guess?) and Vista is prompting me to install the driver "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery)" I tell it ok, locate and install them. It does that, I'm guessing, for it's now prompting me to insert a CD. Well, there is no CD so I tell it to find this driver on the internet. It says "cannot find drivers check manufacturer's support site blah blah blah." At this point, itunes tells me that it cannot complete the "recovery process" -- no error code or anything, and the dialog box closes.
Now, my ipod goes into the connect to itunes screen. Itunes does not recognize it, for it does not even display my ipod at all. Vista does however, and each time i connect the ipod to the computer it attempts to install the "apple mobile device (recovery)" driver and fails each time. I don't know what's happening. I've lost all functionality in my ipod, can't even get into DFU. iTunes just refuses to recognize it. I've tried all of those fixes (reinstalling itunes, rebooting, trying that method where you go into device manager and update the apple mobile device (recovery) drivers....all of it doesn't work). I've spent hours websearching...
And I'm at a loss. I'm ready to throw this thing somewhere. Can you guys suggest any help for me? Please...

What version of iPod Touch do I have?

I can't figure out what version of iPod Touch I have!
Some details:
-can only take "selfies"
-16GB
-has the same new charger cord as 5th gen
-is silver
-is updated to the latest iOS
My friends and I think it's a 5, but I really want to know!
Thank You!

It's an iPod 5 16GB. It's the only iPod 5 with just the one camera, the 32GB and 64GB have both the front and back cameras. The other big clue, currently only the iPod 5 uses the lighting port and as Niel stated if your running iOS 7 you have an iPod 5, it's the only iPod that can run iOS 7. Cheers.

How can you find out what generation your iPod touch is?

How can you find out what generation your iPod touch is?

Hi,
Here is help for the operating system:
If you are locked to iOS 3 then you have an iPod Touch 1st Gen.
If you are locked to iOS 4 then you have an iPod Touch 2nd Gen.
If you are locked to iOS 5 then you have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen.
If you are locked to iOS 6 then you have an iPod Touch 4th Gen.
If you can get iOS 7 and have an iPhone 5 sized screen [bigger] you have the current iPod Touch 5th Gen.
I assume since it says you have iOS 5.1.1 you have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen.
Also, you may want to sync it so iTunes can tell you or you can look at the model number on the back.
Hope this helped.

Why can't i load 4.3.5 onto my older (2nd gen?) iPod touch?

Why can't I load iOS 4.3.5 onto my older (2nd gen?) iPod touch? I think it's second generation. The current software on it is 3.1.3. When I try to add newer apps, iTunes tells me: "The app [insert name] was not installed because it requires a newer version of iPod software." I get that maybe the OS on the iPod is old, but then I go to "Summary" in iTunes it tells me the software is up to date and iTunes will automatically check again. Where can I get the newer software? Will it run on my older Touch? And how do I know what generation my Touch is? I got it in the fall of 2008. Thanks for your patience with a Mac lover who's not very tech savvy.

"Why can't I load iOS 4.3.5 onto my older (2nd gen?) iPod touch? "
Beacuse it does not support the new software. 2nd gen can only go to 4.2.1

If you have a second gen, then you should be able to get 4.2.1. What computer OS do you have? What version of Itunes?

HT4623 I have a Gen 4 Ipod Touch, it is still running with IOS 4. When i go to my settings and select General there is no Software Update button to choose from. How do i update my Ipod to the new IOS system?

I have a Gen 4 Ipod Touch, it is still running with IOS 4. When i go to my settings and select <General> there is no <Software Update> button to choose from. How do i update my Ipod to the new IOS system?

You have to hook it up to a computer and update it to ios 5 and then there will be a "software update" button.

What if my ipod touch 4th generation can't update and now the only option is to restore it. And i don't know what happens if i press restore?

What if my ipod touch 4th generation can't update and now the only option is to restore it.
And i don't know what happens if i press restore?
Will it show my back up and back it up or what?
And if that does happen will all my pictures stil be there?
Also i'm not on a apple computer.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Either a PC or Mac work the same.
The photos in our iPod's Camera Roll album will be restored as will the last 30 days of photos in our PhotoStream album

HT1449 I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch). All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices

I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch). All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices. Help please

The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
The Apple store will do this for you, you can call apple support and they will help you, you can use google.
