When I save an image on my ipod touch 3rd gen then go to the photos, the library updates/rebuilds, then I cannot view the picture as it just comes up as a picture of a grey camera that says JPG. It never used to do this, how do I fix it?

I go to save a picture (bu holding my finger down on the image, then pressing save image, when the option comes up), and then go to the photos to view the picture, its says updating library and takes about a minute to finish loading and rebuilding/updating the library. After it has finished updating the library I cannot view the picture I saved because it comes up as a picture of a grey camera that says JPG (I assume this is some sort of file, because if i save multiple pictures only one JPG, gery camera image shows up.) My ipod never used to do this. Any idea on how to fix it?

Try a manual install following directions in link below.

My iPod Touch 3rd gen is screwed up the backlights screwed and the Wifi is not working its showing no wifi!

See:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

For backlight
- 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.
- 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. 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.

My Ipod touch isnt working ... i think its locked but the touch screen now doesnt work? Help!

Connect the iPod to your computer and charge it for at least an hour and then try to restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer. If it asks for an passcode and you do not know it place the iPod in recovery mode to bypass the the passcode. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

When I shut my lid the backlight goes off like it is supposed to, but comes back on after a while. It never used to do this, how can I fix it?

This problem is a recent one (only has happened in the past 2-3 weeks). When I shut the lid it used to immediately sleep (the power light began to do its fade in and out, and the backlight turned off), but now when I close the lid, the power light stays on, the backlight goes off for a few seconds before coming on again (not sleeping properly?). Then the backlight will turn itself off again and the computer sleeps like it is supposed to. Is something wrong here and how can I fix it?
Thanks

I think its the same in 10.5 as in 10.6 (the example below). Do System Preferences > Keyboard. Looks like this:
UNCHECK the box that reads, "Use all F1, F2, etc, keys as standard function keys," or hold the Fn key to use F11 and F12 for volume control. It looks like you have to own an Apple aluminum keyboard to get a function key on a desktop computer.

My IPod Touch (3rd Gen) is stuck on the apple screen...Ive done a restored once and it didnt fix it, what do i do?

Ok, so i know this is like other discussions but my Ipod Touch shows the Apple logo for 30 Secs, then it disappears and nothing shows, just a blank screen. Ive done a couple restores and it comes up with the same results.
Does anyone know how to permanently solve this problem.

If you have an Apple Store, near you, make an appointment to take it to them. If it's not a hardware failure, they may be able to help.
Regards.

My iPod Touch 3rd Gen is stuck on the Apple Logo screen when starting up.

I've spent hours on this and it's driving me crazy. I've repeatedly tried going into recovery mode, DFU mode, and restoring (even using custom firmware) but it just won't work. Is there anything at all I can do to fix this?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

HT4972 ipod touch 3rd gen update issues

I have an ipod touch 3rd gen and i can not get it to update. when i try it goes through the motions of downloading the update and then after a little while it says error that it can not be updated... any thoughts on what to do?

Which version of iOS do you currently have on your iPod? I know the sign off for your discussion says iOS 4.3.3, but I don't know if you entered that information or it was automatically generated.
What capacity is your iPod - how many GB?

My iPod touch 3rd gen is stuck on apple logo

My iPod touch 3rd gen is stuck on the white apple logo. It will not manually restart/restore if I hold the power and menu button. It does auto restart about every 15 minutes on its own. If I plug it into my computer, both my computer and iTunes will recognize it and lets me edit its contents, fully syncs without a problem, etc. However, if I try to Update/Restore Ipod iTunes will completely freeze until my iPod autorestarts at which point it will become "unfrozen" and say there was an error communicating with my iPod. I have tried using 2 different computers with the latest version of iTunes. PLEASE HELP!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

IPod touch 3rd gen recognized by computer but not by iTunes

My iPod touch 3rd gen is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen. It became stuck on the screen while updating to the newest software and is still stuck. It is recognized by my PC as an "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" in recovery mode but is not recognized by iTunes.
I have tried multiple suggestions by the Apple Support pages related to this issue, and even reinstalled all Apple programs on my PC, but iTunes still fails to recognize the iPod.
Is there any other ways I could go about solving this issue? It seems I have tried everything so far..

See if running diagnostics will help
iTunes for Windows: Gathering and using iTunes Diagnostics
Next I would try another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

You buy one and only one download.
As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

I tend to make my playlists right on my ipod. This did not happen for the last 2 years. Just started recently. Did get a new computer recently.

That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.
To make this your syncing computer:
