It depends on what iPod gen. you have.

For ipod touch generation 1, 2, and 3, you can't put a background unless you jailbreak your device and get the right app from Cydia.

For ipod touch generation 4, select the picture you want and set for your homescreen or wallpaper. As far as I know you don't need to jailbreak Itouch 4 to set a background.

Hope it helps :P

To get backgrounds, you have to have wifi. Once you get wifi, go to the app store and look for the magnifying glass icon on the bottom right of your screen. Tap on it. Search "backgrounds". Once the apps come up, look for the app with the picture of the pink, blue, and orange background. Install it. You can then go through all of the backgrounds and save any of then that you want. The ones that you save will be put into your camera. To set it as your home or lock screen, go to settings > wallpaper > click on the screen it gives you > camera roll > find the background you want > set > set as lock or home screen. Hope this helps.

How can you get a background picture for your home screen on your 3rd generation ipod?

If you have an iPod Touch 2G, then you can't unless you jailbreak it. You won't be able to multitask either. Apple decided to disable some of the features for the older ipods for god only knows why. But if you have the newest ipod touch, just go to your photos and hit "set as wallpaper" like normal but then it will ask you to "Set as Lockscreen", "Set as Homescreen", or "Set as both".
