Why won't ipod touch 8gb 4th generation add mp3?

i have been trying to add mp3 material on my itouch and for some reason it will not go on the ipod. is there something in the update that negates mp3 music? anything mp4 goes on but it downloads extremely slow. please help

This is normal for all software driven devices ( your tv, dvd player, computer, car, etc). At some point the older hardware simply cannot run the latest software.
There is nothing unusual about this at all.

Why does my ipod touch 8GB second generation appears to be a 2nd gen while I bought it online and that Apple has well marked on its advertising that it was a third generation?!

I bought an ipod touch online called 3rd generation 8gb and saw that the apple site make him 2nd generation and I can't upgrade for 4.3 !

You may have noticed the 8GB description was missing a few parts. And they were not advertising it as a 3RD Gen

Try:

- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Yes, there literally hundreds of video editing Apps for the iPod in the App Store if you want to edit directly on the iPod.
Alternatively, you can always download the video to your computer and edit it there with any video editor of your choice.

My ipod touch 8gb 3rd generation keeps dropping wifi. I hate to reset since i've downloaded all of my itunes directly to my ipod. Help!

My ipod touch 8gb 3rd generation keeps dropping wifi. Doesn't matter where I am - happend ALL the time. Almost useless now except for all of my songs! We don't have any other problems with other computers in our house. I have downloaded all of my songs from itunes directly to my ipod (I know, I wish I hadn't) so I hate to reset or I will lose them all. I have never downloaded any updates (I know, I know!) so could this be my problem? How do I find downloads and what do I need? Please help if you can!

If I reset my ipod will the wifi dropping stop? I don't usually connect the ipod to my computer. I charge it from the wall. Should I be connecting to the computer instead? Takes so much longer. thanks for your help!
The reset may help with the WiFi issue, but you'll have to do the reset to be sure. It does seem to cure a wide variety of issues. At some point you should be connecting the iPod to your computer/iTunes account, otherwise you risk losing all of your music and other content if you have a problem with your iPod.

IPod Touch 8gb First Generation Problem

Dear Apple Discussions:
I just recently acquired a iPod Touch 1st Generation from Ebay.com on May 3rd 2010. Here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180501743808&ssPageName=STRK: MEWNX:IT ~~~>And it just arrived here today, 5/8/2010. My ultimate problem is that it won't turn on. I've tried the button "trick" but with no success. I've scanned the internet and nothing can be found. I'm not sure of its been Jailbroken. This is my first Apple iPod Touch. I also have a Apple iPod Nano 5th generation. The 5th generation iPod Nano from Apple.com is recognizable in iTunes but when I go to connect the iPod Touch 1st generation 8gb from Ebay.com it doesn't connect at all. The iPod Touch is completely unresponsive to anything that I do. Any help at all would be tremendously appreciated.
-Branden Hunter (ShadowKissedDhampir)

What I mean't for the "button trick" was:
If you found your ipod touch is 'dead', ie won't turn on, holding the power button (top right on
Ipod) does nothing, your comp doesn't even recognise it, iTunes also - then you might need to do the following :
1) Start your iTunes and connect your iPod touch to your comp.
2) Keep holding the POWER button (top right) together with the HOME button (centre, bellow the ipod screen) for about 10 seconds. You should hear a sound(s)..
Release the POWER button ONLY, keep holding the HOME button, you will again hear some sounds.
3) If you did it correctly iTunes will tell you that it has detected an iPhone or iPod touch in recovery mode.
You should be able to re-sync all your previous ipod content from there...
Sorry, if this was already posted somewhere here, but I just recovered my ipod after searching the net, so wanted to share it..
I did donload and re-isntall the latest Itunes before I did the above, so try that if the above doesn't work the 1st time out..

Brocken Ipod Touch screen (4th Generation)

I bought an IPod touch (4th generation) and after a really pathetic 4 days I managed to accidentally drop it and the corner of the screen cracked and it runs down to the touch screen slightly. It is still fully functional but I'm afraid the crack could increase and it just looks awful, so I was wondering how much it would cost to replace considering that it was still in the warranty. Because I recently forked out £240 on and IPod, I can afford anything too ridiculous on top of that. Any help would really be appreciated.

A broken screen is not covered by the warranty. However, sometimes if you make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store they will exchange it for no cost, especially for a new iPod.
If not Apple will exchange it for this price. Scroll to your country.

Why won't Ipod touch 1st gen download podcast today feb 29th?

Woke up this morning and tried downloading the slew of podcast on my 1st gen Ipod touch. None will download, all of them stay in the download tab with the error "there was a problem downloading this podcast" it ask to delete or retry, Ive done both with multiple podcast with the same result. The last podcast I downloaded was Bill Burrs last night and Dana Gould's yesterday. Both worked fine. Today nothing from half a dozen podcast. I have version 3.1.3 (7E18) (sic). I tried restarting and reseting (sliding to turn off and holding both buttons to reset). No go. What could be the issue?

What is the specific app? Do you have the same problem with all apps, including the ones that are built-in, such as Mail or Safari?
On my 1st gen iPhone, I noticed that some third-party apps (downloaded from the App Store) have that problem. The 1st gen iPhone and 1st gen iPod touch have lower system RAM for running the OS and apps. My guess is that some app developers do not account for the device having lower RAM (compared to later and more numerous models), so the apps crash on our oldest devices.
If the app requires a later version of iOS, it won't even install on a device with iOS 3.1.3, so that's not the issue.

IPod Touch 8GB Second Generation Unable to Upgrade to 3.0

Hi,
I recently purchased the abovementioned iPod Touch. It's a 2.2.1 OS version.
The problem that I have is that I am actually able to download the 3.0 software update from iTunes but it won't install. I have downloaded the update twice. Will Apple charge me twice as well? I do not want to keep trying until I am certain Apple won't charge me every time I try to download and install the update. Please tell me how to install it properly through iTunes. iTunes sends an error pop-up on my computer screen (Win XP) just when it should begin installing the update or whatever it should do after download completion.
Thanks.

I am having the exact same problem with my itouch 16GB! I called apple support and was told that sometimes this problem happens when the computer is not hardwired into the internet but I did try that and it didn't help. I keep recieving a message that states that the file is "invalid or too long". Any suggestions??
