Which is worth more for trade in value: 32GB 3rd gen or 16GB 4th gen iPod touch?

Currently I own 2 iPods. One is a 3rd generation iPod touch that currently does not work; the screen has a hairline crack and won't turn on that has been in my possession for about 2 years. The other is a 4th generation iPod touch that works perfectly fine and that I've had for little over a year.
I want a new iPod with 32GB. Doesn't matter if it's 3rd or 4th gen. I just need the space to fit all my music. I just want to know which iPod has more value so I can purchase a new one, if trading in is possible!
Thanks!

Thanks for the fast response!
The guy at the genius bar said he could order me a new(?) iPod 3rd gen 32GB for $150 though?
I figured if that could happen, I could possibly upgrade the 4th gen 32GB as well? I'm not sure though..

  • When i try to update software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    When i try to update the software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    The later iOSs requires at least OSX 10.5.8 for the Mac.  You need iTunes 10.5 but 10.4.11 only goes to 9.x.. 10.5.8 is a paid upgrade.
    Are you sure that you have a 3G iPod?  If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1 (also requires 10.5.8 or later). A 32 GB can be either  2G or 3G. To identify yours:

    I took the iPod to the local Apple shop. The guy put the iPod onto a docking station and checked it - answer "connections are OK". I have used the link before but have not gone through all its suggestions (although picked on the most relevant ones). I may have to go back. Thanks again for your suggestions

  • Where can i find a list of games for a 3rd gen ipod touch

    i got a second hand 3rd gen ipod touch for my daughter for xmas. All the games on the ipod wont let us download as they say the ipod is not new enough. Has anyone got any suggestions.

    I suspect you really have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1. A 3G can go to 5.1.1

    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

    why does itunes say i have the latest version 4.2.1 (8c148) for my 3rd gen iPod touch when it should be iOS 5?

    Be sure it is really a 3rd gen. Some people with 2nd gens were told they were 3rd gens.  Identifying iPod models or Look up specs by Serial Number. If it is a 2nd gen, then you can't upgrade.
    IF IT REALLY IS A THIRD GEN iPod Touch, then you first need to upgrade to iTunes 10.5 in order to download iOS 5 because older versions of iTunes don't support and can't sync with iOS 5.

  • How to make 3rd gen ipod touch a remote for new appleTV

    I have a 3rd generation ipod touch that is updated to iOS 5.1.1 and want to know if I can use that as a remote for my new appleTV?

    Yes. you need this app
    https://itunes.apple.com/app/remote/id284417350?mt=8
    Since the app now requires iOS 7, try downloading a compatible version by:
    If you have iOS 4.2.1 or later on the iPod and there was version compatible with that version, then you should be able to get a compatible version by:
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • The USB Power Adapter NOT working for 3rd Gen iPod touch!?

    Hi Apple dudes
    Well.. Look here:
    http://store.apple.com/dk/product/MB051ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDA4NA&mco=MTEyNjA0NTg
    As you can see, the iPod Touch 3rd Gen (I got 32 GB, 3rd Gen) isn't listed as a compitable device.. So now I don't know whether to believe the text or the compitable list.. I really don't wanna wasted an already outrageous price on a simple thing like a adapter - And really, what's up with you NOT being able to charge your iPod from a regular USB power adaptar - NOOOOO, it HAS to be the APPLE-MADE one, cause it's soooo white.. Yes, I'm frustrated, 'cause my first time with an Apple product hasn't just been as your slogan says: "It just works!".. Nop.. Problems, confusing software, and you wouldn't even let me now that my username was already taken when I creted this account. Come on... Took me several "Create now" and Browser-switching to figure it out..
    Sorry for this aggresive ending, I hope you can help me with my problem after all
    Regards

    Alex:
    Welcome to the  forums!
    I can't help you with things like user names. Apple handles that; I'm an Mac/iPod user, not an Apple employee.
    Tech specs for the unit you have can be found here: http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/specs.html. And, based on the back view (4th image) on the page you listed, I'd say you could use it for your iPod, because you should have the USB charge-cable that came with the iPod. (The one that plugs into the computer, and hence, into the back of the charger.)
    However, I'm not an expert in European iPods, being American.
    As for software...Apple software, if you're used to using Windows, takes time to get used to. I'm still finding things out, and I switched a year ago. It takes a little time.
    Best of luck--

  • After updating to 5.1 OS for 3rd gen iPod touch, no longer able to change wallpaper. Thoughts?

    When I click on wallpaper in my settings it shows the 2 current wallpapers. When I click on that to change them, it just sends me back to my home screen. As far as I can tell everything else is fine. Trying restarting the iPod and reseting the settings as well and still cannot get to the wallpaper page. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Yes, I tried reseting it originally (and again just now) and I still have the same problem. I restored (reset) all the settings before, are you suggesting I restore all the apps and files as well?
    Thanks,

  • I'm replacing my 3rd gen Ipod Touch with a 4th gen. How do I delete all my stuff off the 3rd gen but have it available for my 4th gen on my PC?

    I'm replacing my 3rd gen 16gb Ipod Touch with a new 4th gen Ipod Touch. I'm wondering how I can delete all of the apps, photos, music, etc.
    from my old Ipod but still have all of the items available to install on my new Ipod?  Help please!

    Right click on your old iPod in the device list and choose "transfer purchases". This will copy all bought media from your device to your iTunes library.
    Back up manually by right clicking again and choosing "backup" to save all settings, 3rd party app data, contact info, calendars etc. The content of a backup is also described here: iTunes: About iOS backups
    After that set it up "as new device", to delete everything and get it back to factory settings.
    Connect your new iPod, let iTunes set it up and use the manual backup from your old iPod to restore from. This should sync all data back to your new device again.

    Some songs, which are bought in the iTunes store, will be played iTunes but not on my iPod touch. Has somebody an explanation for that? Thanks,

    No, you should have Restrictions OFF.

    Are the songs also on computer's iTunes?

  • Returning 1st gen ipod touch for 2nd gen?

    Does anyone know if I could return my 1st gen ipod touch for the 2nd gen or even give it to them and get money off the 2nd gen? I want to return my first gen because i have noticed that some of the apps that I want to download require a mic. If you no if i can trade mine in please respond. Thank you

    ... and the second generation Touch doesn't have a mic anyway. Chris will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe, if you want to use a mic-dependant App on a 2nd gen Touch, then you need to buy a headphone/mic combination to plug in instead of standard headphones. I don't know +at all+ about the 3rd gen.
    Non-mic Apps can run on a 1st gen Touch if you purchase the software upgrade, but whether that also includes mic-Apps, well, once again, I don't know. (Not much I do know really, is there? )
    Perhaps you need to consider how much you need mic dependant Apps before rushing into the major expense of a Touch which may not actually meet your needs. There's always the iPhone of course.
    Phil
    Ah, there you go, in this post - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2322224&tstart=30 - sparky67 says the 3rd gen 32G and 64G Touch comes with a microphone/headphone combination.

    HELP
    Help needed to update a 4th gen ipod touch running version 4.3.5 (8L1) to the latest 6.0 version.  When I connect and try to update i keep getting a box which states that a connection error occured and I cannot update.
    I have been given a new laptop for xmas which runs on windows 8, and the new itunes version (which is in itself a hurdle as I am a technophobe!) and this is all becoming a bit fustrating. 
    I have connected, updated and synced my iphone successfully, but just hit a brick wall on the ipod.  (which incidentally maybe where this laptop will end up!!)
    Help if you can, but in laymans terms.......

    Thank you for you input so far.....
    I think we are getting nearer to the solution sort of!
    Let me get this straight...... I have paid for content on itunes, bought the apple devicds in order to play said content, now I have to subscribe $25 for the privilage of playing MY library content on MY other devices. Which wasn't such an issue to do before the new and improved itunes version!!
    Have I got that correct.  I think I cannot associate my other iOS devices with my library because I am unwilling to pay further through the nose!!!???  or am I missing something?
    Thanks
    Frustrated even more now!!
