Not sure if this is a bug or not. My iPod takes a little longer to start up and instead of the home screen it goes straight to the "lock" screen. Anyone else?
Got a tip for us?

My battery drained without me even using my iPod! 
My iPod was connected to my laptop all day yesterday waiting for the update. I disconnected my iPod from my laptop last night and fooled around with it a bit before turning it off and going to bed. I turned it back on this morning and it's been in stand-by all day long. I've just gone to use it and it say my battery is at 20% and shuts itself off!
Anyone else had a similar issue?
I'm gonna reset it completely now and see if that helps matters.

Note Synching (iTunes or iPod/iPhone issue?)
I'm thinking there might need to be an update to iTunes, since it's the app doing the synching...

My 2G touch now refuses to backup in iTunes. I have to cancel the backup process because it just hangs on 'Backing up iPod...". I have restored it but it's still doing the same thing.
15hrs after buying and installing 3.0 my Touch2 32gb is stuck with white screen. I don't understand why Apple/iTunes prevents you from downgrading firmware!!!! I took it to Apple store and they want $199 to replace it (mine has functioned for months with a small hairline fracture on the screen). What's the chance that if I wait til Touch3 is out they'd replace mine for the new one for $199?
ever since going to 3.0, I have been having so many problems downloading app updates on my ipod touch. I keep getting the message that I entered my iTunes password wrong and to enter it again. But i'm typing it correctly. When I sync to itunes, and try again, it works. But leave the wireless network and come back, the error happens again.
i also had that problem with voice memos. If you are useing the headphone mic then make sure it is in BEFORE you launch the voice memos app. It will not work if you put them in AFTER you launch the app. Just thought you guys should know
Also after i downloaded 3.0 i noticed in the app store that in place of the "Updates" section was the "More" section and i thought that was pretty cool because it gave me the ability to redeem a gift card on the app store through my ipod. Then i went some where and came back and open the app store again and the "More" section was gone! I did a little research and found that alot of people are having this problem. I even tried restoring my ipod and that didnt work. And currently there is no solution to this problem....THANKS APPLE!

Yep, that also happened with mine.
my 1st gen Touch takes a little longer to get to the next song when I hit forward, I wish I never upgraded my 3.0. Anyone else having this issue?? I was never jailbroken, I just use it for music. And it just seems the iPod app is just slow with everything
3.0 on my iPhone works fine with music tho
should I just do another restore to 3.0??

When I turn my iPod touch on, it goes to the unlock screen instead of displaying the home screen-is this a bug?
Of course you can download your firmware if you want to!
Open up iTunes and on the main iPod screen hold down the Option key and click Restore. You should get an Open File dialog from which you can select the whatever version of the firmware you want to downgrade to.
iTunes should now extract your firmware and begin restoring your iPod, follow the on screen instructions and wait until your iPod is fully restored and shows back up in iTunes.
That said....have you tried to restore your iPod first?! I would suggest doing that first and see what happens.
To get your iPod off the white screen you can try holding down the home and power buttons into it reboots. If that fails you can put it into DFU mode and then you should be able to downgrade with iTunes.
To put it into DFU mode you need to do this....
Step 1. Turn off your iPod Touch.
Step 2. Hold down the power and home button.
Step 3. When you see the Apple logo, release the power button but continue holding the home button down.
Step 4. Open iTunes and wait for it to tell you that its in restore mode.
BillyBobBongo, thanks but I've already done those.
I shift-click (on pc) the restore button so I can select the 2.2.1 OS to downgrade to and I get some message about restore failing. When I click on "More Info" it takes me to this support page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
where it has the following note:
"Note: Error 1013 is caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore from an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported."
Each time I restore to OS 3.0 I get a garbled sound coming out the speaker and then the white screen. I can also restore the data backups and see my images via usb.
I guess I'm gonna save my $199 and wait 3 months for Touch3.

I've paired with bluetooth in 3.0. It works fine for me. Good ol' internet tethering.
I think it was a different process than before. But it works just fine.

No worries!
I've read that it's the latest version of iTunes that might be preventing you downgrading. If you downgrade to iTunes 7.5 you might be able to change the firmware. I've got to say it's shocking indeed that apple do not allow you to return to another firmware....what does it matter to them. You paid for the firmware you should be able to use whatever one you wish.
I've also read that once you're on 3.0 you're stuck....who knows what is true...it's early days.
Still, it can't hurt to try!
Also found this but it only works on the 2nd Gen iPod Touch.

New issue:
I installed 3.0 (via Restore), and synched all my music. I then imported a new CD that I bought today, connected the iPod, and it didn't copy the new songs across. I selected the iPod under Devices and manually clicked the Sync button, and it proceeded to delete all of the music off my iPod.
I'm currently waiting for it all to copy back again. Hopefully this won't happen again!

For those that are first experiencing your touches being slow or sluggish, try restarting or rebooting your units. Has always worked even with past firmware restores. Mine, both 1G and 2G, seem to be back to normal.
And the fact that all my apps are available thru spotlight search is a big plus. Thanks

I know right? I started it up and it showed up on my MBP's bluetooth list but it "lacks services" or whatever making it useless except for the gaming thing. crappy if you ask me...
I'll agree bluetooth is poorly implemented so far, but it does work for stereo headphones. I'm not sure why anyone wants to pair it with a MBP or PC. Even if you could get file transfer working it would be far slower than just plugging in the cable.
The Samsung T10, P2, P3, and a few more, along with the iriver SPINN, Cowon S9, Insignia Pilot, a rare Sony and a Philips player do Bluetooth but most only do stereo headphone support with it. Apple is just barely catching up to the competition's feature list.

Yeah, now my iPod touch 2nd gen is incompatible with my iHome ip9 after upgrading to 3.0. soooooo pissed right now. WTF. can't control it, playlist feature of the alarm clock doesn't work. waste of 10 bucks so far.
Same here, I've got a AV cable that worked before but now I've upgraded to 3.0 I get a "This accessory is not supported by this ipod" message
Questions About All Problems .....
Are all these problems being reported on iPhone 3.0 being seen on iPhones updated via iTunes Store and not some other site????
I only ask because I know some other sites claim to have the 3.0 firmware for download .... but how do we know it is the latest release from Apple and not some beta that was leaked and renamed????
I'll just spend the $9.95 and get it from Apple *IF* I decide to upgrade at all !!!
