WHERE IS AN IPOD TOUCH 3RD GENERATION 8GB MANUAL?

I just bought an iPod touch that was described as a 3rd gen 8 gb. Apple support shows:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPod_touch_2nd_generation
that it is a 2nd gen and that there were no 3rd 8 gb.
I'm looking for manuals or tech from apple.

That's correct. There never was an 3G 8GB iPod Touch. It was incorrectly referred to one by some resellers and retailers.
There is no official user guide for the 2G iPod Touch running iOS 4.2.1 from Apple. You may be able to find an unofficial one online somewhere still.

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • IPod touch 3rd generation 8gb??????

    i've read numerous stories about how there isn't one but my nephew has a 8gb 2nd gen. and the back of mine looks different, the font size is smaller, but that is the only difference, other than that, is there really one???

    Sorry, Apple did not make an 8gB version of the 3rd generation. Check the model number on the back. A1288 is a 2nd gen. A1318 is 3rd

  • IOS4 and iPod Touch 3rd Generation 8GB

    So since the two coolest features definitely won't work for this, those being multitasking and custom backgrounds, then what will? What exactly will be different after this upgrade?

    Check the site http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/ios4-software-update.html
    Ignore multitasking,home screen wallpaper, bluetooth keyboard, and faces and places in photos since you have windows xp.
    There is airplane mode-cuts off wifi,bluetooth,location services with one swipe
    If you go to albums in your music you will see a change that is similar to albums on itunes for the ipod touch.
    Folders for apps
    There is a new design for the dock.

  • LOST: iPod Touch 3rd Generation MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA

    LOST: My iPod Touch 3rd Generation 8GB. Grayish-white flexible cover. The Words "Michayla Binkley, With Love Mom, Dad, and Tina." On the back. I know it's something like that. I lost it around the time of 8 p.m on Sunday, June 27 at South Point Park in Miami Beach, Florida. If you have found my iPod and are kind enough to give it back, please add and message me on Facebook. I would really like it back, so please be kind. Here's my facebook. Please private message me. http://www.facebook.com/michaylalove

    Guess this is a failed expirement. I created this post so that I could see if it was realistic and believeable enouh because well I'm a writer, I used real details and places to make it sound real. Though I guess doing this gave me bad karma cause my real iPod got stolen a couple weeks ago. So Double fail. at least it was believeable I hope.

  • My iPod Touch 4th Generation 8gb won't turn on and is frozen on the loading symbol/wheel, I tried the method where you hold the home and lock button lots of times and it hasn't worked! What do I do?

    My question won't all fit in but it says 'My iPod Touch 4th Generation 8gb won't turn on and is frozen on the loading symbol/wheel. What do I do?'
    I've had this problem from about two weeks and I forgot about it, but today I wanted to play on it and remembered that it's not working, I've tried connecting it to iTunes via my laptop but I'm not to sure how to update it because I thought that might fix it, but no luck. I've tried the trick where you hold the lock and home button but nothing happened apart from it just went back to the apple logo and then to the frozen loading symbol/wheel. I need help!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Look her and it may give insite on what is missing. Otherwise:
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99. Likely not worth it for a your iPod. They do not fix yours.

  • IPod Touch 3rd generation is not turning on and gets really hot when I plug it in but is not charging...

    I have an iPod Touch 3rd generation and yesterday I was using it and noticed that it reset to a different time zone and when I dug a little deeper realized that it reset the date to December of 1969. I just went in and changed it all back. I was out of the house all day today and didn't take it with me, when I went to use it, it wouldn't turn on. I assumed it was dead, so I plugged it in and got ready for bed. I realized that the charging screen never appeared and it never made the little noise it does when you plug it in. I picked it up and right near where the charger plugs in, it was very hot. I use it when it'd plugged in from time to time and it is NEVER that hot. I then tried to plug it into the computer where it again didn't do anything and didn't show up as a device that was plugged in on my iTunes. Again, it got very hot very quickly. I am using the cord that came with it and an actual Apple brand wall charger. I don't know what else to do. Some people said to hold the two buttons down for a little bit, but nothing happened on mine. Please help!

    Warm is normal, too hot to handle, literally, is not.
    If you're concerned, make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check your charger out.

  • Ipod touch 3rd generation is stuck in "waiting for changes to apply" during sync

    My iPod touch 3rd generation is stuck at "waiting for changes to apply" during sync.  I have the latest update and the latest version of iTunes downloaded.  Any suggestions for a remedy to this problem?  Thanks!

    Here is the link for the downgrade from Apple.
    Link: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1103
    Here is the Link before you install Apple 10.3 downgrade Read Oct. 17th the 1st on of the 17th.where I said "A" OKAY
    Link: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16500143#16500143
    I went into my desktop PC the to Start/My music/iTunes folder.
    In my folder there was nothing called ITunes Library.itl., but I had file called iTunes Library, in the center of it labeled "Lib", so I re-named it to "iTunes Library.itl.backup" Then went to the folder from iTunes" Previous iTunes
    Library" and copied and pasted mine was iTunes Library 2011-04-02 right into the iTunes main folder.
    Close your iTunes folder and then install the previous ver. 10.3 of the Apple link. I did not reboot PC. Did not use Cc cleaner nor add/Remove. then after 10.3 said finished installing 10.3 I clicked on my iTune Icon and iTune came up, iPod not plugged in yet.
    Then I clicked on "let iTune to find all my music and install them", said towards bottom of iTunes.
    Why we don't have the answer but iTune will put all your music in but you will have duplicates of the songs, so you will have your work cut out for you, takes time. plus some of my Artwork was missing, but I save that too.
    I'm not Responsible for this instructions, this is what worked for me.
    I think everything here is in order. Lot of my information came from all of you guys.Thank you. took a lot of reading, and trial and errors 2 1/2 day latter.

  • Ipod Touch, 3rd generation, blue striped screen, then... nothing

    I have an ipod touch 3rd generation, version 4.2.1 (I think), model A1288, 8gb.  A month ago it stopped working and wouldn't respond to a reset by pushing the on and home buttons together, and it wasn't recognized by itunes or by my Vista OS laptop.
    After sitting for weeks, the battery must have died and I charged it and it turned on and it seemed to work fine for a day.  Then overnight it crashed and died again.  I don't know what caused the crash, it wasn't being used at the time.  When I reset it following the crash, I got the apple logo, but nothing more... and then a black screen.  When I reset it again, I got a purplish, blue laterally striped screen with the apple logo in the middle ...and then it turned black and wouldn't respond. 
    Since that time, nothing I do will cause it to turn on or respond in any way.  No apple logo, no screen activity of any kind.   When I connect it to itunes, the computer doesn't recognize it and itunes doesn't respond to it.  When I connect my ipad to itunes, it's recognized just fine.  I've never seen this before.  Any ideas on how I should proceed with repairing this?  If I could get it to start up, I could look for updates and uninstall apps to try to eliminate a conflict, but I can't get it to respond at all.  Thanks for any ideas or help you can offer. 

    - After charging for at least an hour see if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.
    - Next try DFU mode

    - Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I have an ipod touch 3rd generation 8 gb, is there any way besides jailbreaking that i can get ios 4.3.?

    I have an IPod Touch 3rd generation 8 gb, is there any way besides jailbreaking that I can get IOS 4.3.?

    You do not have a 3rd gen 8Gb iPod Touch. There is no such thing - really, truely, double true, extra double protected true. {lllaass, back me up here}
    Jailbreaking cannot be discussed on Apple forums., except to point you to the following article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743 which will let you know why Apple strongly cautions against "jailbreaking".
    You could sell your current iPod and buy a new one, which will be able to use iOS 5.
    GM:  gross mismanagement
    I suppoose jailbreaking would be a GM!

  • How do i get all the music that i purchased back on my ipod touch 3rd generation?

    how do i get all the music that i purchased back on my ipod touch 3rd generation?

    Back from where?

    It should all be on your computer and included in your regular backup copy of your computer.
    Sync it back.

  • IPod Touch 3rd Generation stuck in recovery mode

    My daughter got an iPod Touch 3rd Generation for Christmas which was on version 3.1.1. iTunes told us an update to 3.1.2 was available and would we like to update it, we selected yes. The update downloaded and then the iPod wouldn't restore and is stuck in recovery mode with the iTunes symbol and the USB on the screen and giving us an error message 1604. We have tried different ways to get it to restore but it wants to update it to 3.1.2 which apparently has a problem with it. How can we get it to restore back to 3.1.1?

    I had the same problem yesterday. I tried restoring countless times, reinstalling iTunes... teh whole nine yards. I eventually called Apple, they didn't know what was wrong with it either.
    Unfortunately, its the Touch, not iTunes... you are going to have to return it to where you bought it, and exchange it for a new one. Call Apple, and they will give you a number to give to the store. Alternately, you can go to an Apple store, if you bought it at a retailer (Best Buy, Walmart, ect.) and see what they can do.
    Best of luck! ~*~
