  • Is there a way to turn on an ipod touch with a broken power and home button?

    I have an ipod touch 4th gen and the home and power button don't work plus the screen is shattered
    I have to wait until christmas to get an iPhone bc I have no money atm
    Aside from plugging it into a power source and having it turn on is there any other way to turn it on when I'm out?
    I know that some phones turn on when you plug in or take out the headphones, are there any options like that?
    I just need it for the next few weeks so there's no point in buying a new one right now
    thank you so much omg

    No, As you know the only method is to connect the iPod to a charging source.Yo could purchase one of the portable charging source/battery packs and use the turn it on when yo are not home.

  • New iPod Touch 4th gen. cannot connect to home wi-fi network

    When I launch wi-fi on my new iPod Touch 4th gen. my home network's name is displayed, but after entering my password the iPod is unable to connect - the wheel to the left of the network name just keeps spinning.   The network still functions properly for all my other devices (MacBook, 2nd gen. iPod Touch, wireless printer and my wife's PC) and the new iPod Touch did connect to the network in the Apple Store when I visited yesterday.   I know the password I enetered for my home network is correct because I've checked it in my keychain, and also the iPod did not inform me that it was the wrong password for that network - as it does if I enter another password.
    I have followed the advice given to others - unplugging the Time Capsule and leaving it for 5 minutes, checking that all my software and firmware is up to date, 'forgetting' the network on my new iPod then searching for it again, and have completely restored the iPod - but it still cannot connect to my network.   If my network is functioning properly, and my new iPod was capable of joining the Apple Store's network yesterday, and I am sure that I am entering the correct password, it seems to me that my problem must be due to some network setting that is refusing to allow a new device to connect.   I can't find where that setting might be - can anyone advise?

    depending on what router but hopefully all routers came to this default address....
    192.168.1.1/Wireless_MAC.asp
    from
    >Setup of the Basic Setup you goto
    >Wireless
    >WirelessMacFilter
    also had an idea when i wanna make sure im typing the right one, i would do is tap each letter/# by 1, as in,
    (e.q.)
    here's my ipod 4 and my ipod 2, the pswd is 123456
    ipod 4, i press 1
    ipod 2, i press 1
    ipod 4, i press 2
    ipod 2, i press 2
    and so on till i reach both of them to 6 (1by1) to make sure i get it in there right. saw this on another wall it might depends on what channel your using, but i dont rly think that matters bc i have mine on auto and nvr had a problem.
    i would do this even thou it may sound crazy to others....if i were you this is what i would do
    on your ipod 2Gen
    >Safari
    >address to 192.168.1.1/WL_WPATable.asp
    -(wireless security settings for passcode)
    >tap the box for the password, whatever ur security is i would copy
    -IF WEP
    -copy phrase key and Key 1
    -IF WPA
    -copy phrase key
    >open Notepad
    >under iCloud account Notepad
    >Paste the Key
    >either on your pc/mac or your 2nd Gen, go back to
    >192.168.1.1/WL_WPATable.asp
    >change your Security Mode to Disable
    >goto your 4 Gen iPod Touch
    >goto settings and connect to it, if pswd is still in it then tap forget this network and reconnect to it
    -once connected and got IP adresses
    >goto Notpad under iCloud
    -you should have obtained your recent icloud msgs included the key you pasted
    -once obtained
    >gobk to pc/mac or ipod 2nd gen and re enabled the security and re-paste the key in
    -once router adjusted try to connect to it
    >1st do your 2nd gen and forget this network reconnect to it and repaste the key
    >2nd goto ur 4rth gen from your notes, highlight the key in ur notpad and tap copy and forget this network reconnect to it and paste the key.
    this should work bc i did it myself when i couldnt get connected bc thats almost the same steps i did.
    somtimes i put my name up on here. remeber these names we put as our nickname doesnt mean its our real name or anything like that,

    If you carefully follow all of the instructions in this tip and none of them restore WiFi then your radio chip has failed and you need to get the phone replaced by Apple.

  • I have an iPod touch 4th gen 8 gb and ever since I got the iOS 6 update it has been slower and there appears to be less space and I am getting really frustrated any chance I can upgrade to the new 5 gen?

    Ever since i got ios 6 it has been a slower and it says i only have 2 gb left when i have10 app and 0 songs. I got this iPod a few years ago so the warranty has already expired. Please if there is any way I can upgrade let me know.

    Try the following:

  • My Iphone/ Ipod touch 4th gen WiFi problems and solution

    Just wanted to let people know the problems that I had with my 4th gen Ipod touch and Iphone 4 WiFi connections (and my solution).
    I was having consistent problems with my WiFi connection at home - my devices were connecting fine to the router and apparently the signal was full strength; however, nothing was working properly (internet, itunes, app store). To be specific the devices would work for 5-10 minutes but then the connection would start to falter. My other wireless devices were working fine (HTC Hero, laptops etc.) - just the ipod and iphone seemed to suffer from this signal problem (although the router was always apparently connected).
    Obviously, I read countless forums to try and diagnose the problem. There seemed to be a litany of possible causes and I tried the following to resolve the issue:
    - updated router (Netgear WGR614 v6) firmware
    - rotated wireless encryption (WEP/WAP/nothing)
    - changed router channel
    - reset router power
    - reset network settings on Apple devices
    - changed g and b settings on router
    Nothing seemed to work so I began to question the hardware i.e. the router (which I knew was working from my other devices) and the iphone/ipod.
    I tested my iphone and ipod on other wireless networks (McDonalds in the UK has free WiFi) and found that, in contrast, they worked fine on other networks. I had read a few posts from people saying that my router was perhaps too old. So as a last resort I bought myself a new router (Netgear WNR2000 v2). I was loathe to do this earlier in case it didn't work, since reasonable spec routers are £50
    Anyway it worked ... straight away. I have tested the new connection at home using this SpeedTest app. D/load = 9.01 Mbps, U/load = 0.46 Mbps, Ping 65ms. The router is using the full encryption (WAP2 something ...) and N connection.
    As you can probably tell I'm no WiFi expert - I just wanted to post this in case people are having similar issues with older routers. I wasn't able to find any definitive advice and solutions from other users so I though I'd contribute here, which I guess is the first port of call for new Apple users, like me
    I bought the new router 10 days ago and have been enjoying my full speed connection ever since - touch wood. Hope this helps.

    Sounds like an intermittent contact problem some where eon the logic board. Hard to trace down and fix

  • New ipod touch 4th gen wont connect to home wifi livebox?

    Hi I bought a new ipod touch yesterday 4th generation iOS5, I haven't been able to connect it to my home wifi at all. My brother's old Ipod touch connects perfectly fine, I know I'm not typing in an incorrect WEP key, but it just says "unable to join network" I have an orange (wanadoo) livebox. Any help would be much appreciated. I've tried resetting network settings/restarting it/restoring it etc etc but nothing works.

  • My ipod touch, 4th gen shuts down and freezes. What can I do?

    My ipod 4 started to freeze which I would have to then reset. Now it is turning off all by itself. What can I do to fix this?  BTW- it is only 1.5 months old.
    Thanks!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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. If defective, within warranty and not aboused Apple will exchange it at no cost.
