Why can't I connect to my WiFi on my new Ipod touch?

I just purchased a new 4th generation iPod touch today. I've been trying to activate it, but I cannot connect to the WiFi in my house. I am online able to use my WiFi but I cannot connect to my WiFi from my iPod touch? Help please.

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Can't connect to my wifi with my new iPod Touch 5g?

I've been having this problem for two days now.
I can't connect to my home network.
When i'm trying to connect, it keeps moving around as if it is trying to connect but never connects. I let it for 30 minutes this evening.
Let me tell you what i did:
I restarted both my iPod's and Home's network. Didn't work
I restored the iPod's software and it didn't work.
I tried to connect to others wifi networks and it does work.
To my home network i connect others devices as well. I have my computer, ps3, etc etc.....Even my phone
I don't know what to do. Can you please help me?

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Also try this - Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

My Apple store don't know the answer and have suggested that I connect to a computer and do a full reset and install iOS6 again.
Not too sure how to do that yet.

iTech, First change your apple password, than go to 'setting' and than click on 'Facetime' and make sure your facetime email is right than retry.

Elitegate. The Whatsapp app is only compatible with iPhones. It will not install on any other device.

Setting up Wifi on a new ipod touch

I just recently purchased a new ipod touch and would like to get some help setting up the wifi connection. Currently, when I open the network tab, the wi-fil notes that it is not connected and there is no indication that it is scanning as their is no blue symbol beside the ipod lettering at the top of the screen. Also under network it has VPN versus DHP. I have both the Wifi and ask to join networks indicated as on. I am trying to connect it to my airport extreme which is in turn connected to my dell computer. Any assistance would definitely help ... thanks ... kl

If you are running an Airport Extreme, check your settings to make sure you are not running in N mode exclusively. Your touch can only operate with WiFi b/g modes.
Settings > General > Network is not going to give you any information at this point that is meaningful for you. VPN is something that is not normally used on home networks but maybe used when you access your work network remotely.
You want to use Settings > WiFi > Other Network to input your network name if your iPod can't see your network. Once it sees your network name, tap on the name to start the connection process. Next, input the encryption method (usually WPA2-personnel on Airports) and your network password. Assuming everything works as planned you should see a check mark next to the network name, a lock symbol if you have an encrypted network, and a blue >. Tap the blue > to make sure you have an IP address (other than 169.x.x.x), subnet mask, router IP, and DNS IP. You will also get an Airport signal strength icon on the top left of the screen showing you are connected to WiFi.
Let us know if you have any other problems.

Why didn't apple include a radio feature on the new iPod touch but included it on the nano?

Apple should have built in a radio for the new iPod touch. If they do that then I will consider buying one but for now I'll just use my old iPod with the radio

All we can say is "because they didn't". You can suggest it to Apple here:

Why can't Safari connect to free wifi when other browsers can?

When trying to use free WIFI in hotels, the connection requires opening browser and then the hotel log in screen pops up for me to log in (room number or sometimes just to say "agree")
Safari does not work!
I set my network connection to Automatic
The WIFI address I want shows up so I can select and the button turns green,next to "Wifi" in Network Preference
But when I then launch Safari, nothing ... I cannot log into the hotel's network
Yet if i launch Chrome or FireFox, immediately the hotel's window pops up and then I am fully on the Internet (and can use Safari
I have no firewall or such , so why can't Safari do what other browsers can?

you can learn a VERY valuable lesson from this question... NEVER publish your email address in public forums of any kind - FaceBook, Google+, chats, etc. - these places are low hanging fruit for nefarious characters - ÇÇÇ

Ask your question.why can't I connect to my wifi?

I cannot completely connect to the wifi.

Do other devices successullyconnect to the network?
Does the iPod successfully connect to other networks?
Try the following:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost.

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
