  • Why won't my new iPod Touch 4th generation sync audiobooks?

    I have tried to sync my library from my old iPod Classic to my new iPod Touch, but it will not sync my audiobooks.  I have eyesight problems and my audiobooks are important to me.  When I connect to my computer and pull up iTunes, it shows the audiobooks are there, but when I snyc, my iPod doesn't even show a catagory for Audiobooks.    Can someone help me. 

    I feel so stupid!  I found the answer in the "More like this" area. 
    Here is an excerpt from the area that helped me:
    "he solution (someone already posted this, but not as emphatically) is  simply to *SCROLL DOWN* within the "books" tab when your ipod/iphone is  connected to itunes and you have selected it on the left pane.
    This  solution is not obvious if you have a smallish resolution monitor, as  audiobooks used to appear at the top. Now, the text books are  exclusively at the top. So, if you don't have any text books in your  library, everything looks mysteriously empty."

  • IPod touch 3rd generation crashed while updating, and now it won't turn on, and it wont charge or be recognized in iTunes; it's been like this for 3 days now. Please help,..Thanks!

    iPod touch 3rd generation crashed while updating, and now it won't turn on, and it won't charge or be recognized in iTunes because it's completely dead; it's been dead for 3 days now. I've tried pressing home/sleep buttons for reset but nothing works, I've tried using different usb ports to charge it, but nothing seems to work. Please help asap. ...Thanks!(:

    After charging the iPod for half an hour, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • Why do apps say that you need iPod touch 3rd generation but then won't sync to my iPod touch 3rd generation?

    I just bought three apps that listed iPod touch 3rd generation under the "Requirements", but then when I went to sync those apps to my iPod touch 3rd generation, it said my iOS was out of date for them.

    You obviously need to update your ios version on your ipod.

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

    Without knowing current status of the iPod:
    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.

    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

    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • I have an iPod touch, 3rd generation, and when I push the button to put it to sleep, my iPod takes a screen shot.  It's really annoying.  Is this a result from updating to iOS 4.3.3?  Also, my screen is EXTREMELY sensitive-breathe on it and it turns on.

    - Are you also having problems with the Home button?  Maybe it is sticking a little since to take a screen shot you depress the Home and Power/Sleep buttons at the same time.
    - I have not seen your problem discussed here before.
    - I would first try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next would be to restore the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Update iOS5 iPod touch 3rd generation

    Is it possible to update my iPod touch 3rd generation?

  • Ipod touch 3rd generation can´t install apps

    I have a problem with apple.
    I bought a Ipod touch of the 3rd generation and I can´t install any apps the problem is that my ipod said You need ios 6 to install this app.I bought them in 2010.
    How can I fix this problem? I have ios 5.1.1.I would be okay that apple update my ipod to the version 8 of ios.
    I think that is a case of programmed obsolescence.
    I am very angry. I think that bought an ipod with only 5 years of use and then happens this. I find it amazing.

    Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
    Unfortunately that is the case with any kind of technology. Components get older and new software is designed to take advantage of current day technologies. The iPod touch 3rd generation is 6 years old which is a very long time in the age of technology. This may seem like a cop out answer but this iPod touch just could not handle current day software. Lets put it in perspective. If Apple updated that iPod touch to iOS 8.x then it would not have the power to handle even the simplest of operations. The iPod touch 3rd generation still works with iOS 5.x and allows you to use it as you did 6 years ago. Applications also get updated as well to support the newer technologies and with that they drop support for older hardware. Apps that had versions on the App Store that at some point in time supported your iPod, it will give you the option to install the older version. I am not saying Apple does not have planned obsolescence, what I am saying is that your iPod still functions because it does not use new software.
