1st Gen. Ipod Touch does not see my wifi

Hello all, I have been struggling with this issue for a couple of hours and I am stuck. Any insight would be appreciated.
My 1st gen. Ipod touch no longer sees my wireless network. This is preventing me from connecting, obviously. The Ipod sees other wireless networks, such as my neighbors, but not mine. Other devices, such as my laptop and my printer both see and connect to the wireless network fine. I am at a loss for what to do next.
What I have tried:
Power cycling my Ipod.
Resetting network settings on my Ipod.
Resetting all settings on the Ipod.
Power cycling my wireless router.
Additional information:
I am running the latest Ipod and router firmware, so far as I can tell.
I recently bought a new router, which may be the source of the trouble. It is a standard Belkin 108.11b/g router. I haven't done anything fancy with the settings, other than to change the defauly SSID and set up wireless security.
My wireless router is set to broadcast an SSID.
My wireless router is set to use WPA/WPA2 encryption (though I don't think that should affect its visibility).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

But if this is your old iPod, perhaps it is the battery. It may no longer be able to hold charge, that's what happens to old batteries.
Have you tried turning it on while it's connected to power? When you unplug the iPod from any power and try turning it on, look at the battery icon (if it's there). Is it full when it turns on and what level does it show just before it turns itself off again?

1st gen iPod Touch does not load completely

I just recently bought a 4th gen iPod Touch to replace my 1st generation one. The new iPod works fine, but the old one will not boot up. When I press the Wake button, it appears to be loading fine for about 30 seconds, but then it just stops. I know battery life isn't the issue because I had it syncing with my laptop for a few hours.

1st Gen Ipod Touch can't see any WiFi networks?

My friend gave me his old Ipod Touch, and everything worked fine for a while. Recently though, the WiFi just cut out and I can't connect or see anything. When I open up the 'Connect to WiFi' menu, there are no options.. even though I know there is internet because my computer is connected. I have tried typing in the name of the networks and I get an error that reads 'This network was not found.'
I have tried reformatting it to factory specs three times through Itunes, and it still won't show up.
Anyone have any ideas? Is the wireless card/adapter dead?
Thanks

Is this your problem?

ANY radio app for 1st gen iPod touch?? Even with Wifi!?

Firstly, I know the 1st gen ipod touch does not have a radio receiver..this is not my problem.
I've been looking for an app that I can listen to the radio on..even through wifi...but am not finding any that will work with the 1st gen. For example, I download TuneIn radio which I have on my itunes, blackberry, and tablet...but it is only compatible with newer generations of the ipod touch. I am on version 3.1.3 which I believe is the most up-to-date.
In short, I'm absolutely fine to use wifi to listen to the radio, but simply can't find an app (ideally a free one) that will even let me sync the app from my itunes to the ipod.
Suggestions would be very welcome!

Try my web app. I have over 100 stations of all genres. Just enter the following URL in Safari and tap on the orange music icon on top right. Also, you can add a Home screen app icon for easy future access.

My 4th gen iPod Touch does not work with Ford sync since updating OS

When I updated my iPod to the new os, it does not work with my ford sync system anymore. how do I fix this?

Have lots of issues with Fords MySync and here's some info that might help....
Using ford sync interface, goto the phone section, then settings, and look if your iPhones name is listed, if so select the phone name thru sync interface and remove/delete it from the sync list, then go thru the Bluetooth pairing process again.
If that doesn't work, do the same on the iPhone, select ford sync entry in Bluetooth and remove sync or forget this device on the iPhone and then go thru Bluetooth pairing again.
If that doesn't work Power off iphone ( not sleep) hold power button till you see red slider to power off. Then restart iphone, try pairing up again.
If that doesn't work go back to MySync and goto phone settings and use the up-down slider till you see sync master reset. Confirm then go thru BT pairing again.
If that doesn't work there is a fuse for the my sync system. Fuse box is usually behind kick panel of front passenger seat side for the Mustang #3, its behind a paper black cover. Remove fuse for 5-30 secs then replace.
Lastly, make sure your MySync Firmware is the latest vers. Mines 4.0.2 goto fords MySync support page to check
http://www.ford.com/syncmyride/
or call 1-800-392-3673 Opt 3
A google search might help for your model and year if not a newer mustang and you couldn't get to ford.
Good Luck

My 5th Gen iPod touch does not keep time and the bluetooth will not turn on. Full restore did not fix.

Recently my 5th generation iPod Touch stopped keeping time. As long as the screen stays on, it will stay accurate, but once it "sleeps" the time reverts to the last accurate time it had. If I go to Settings>General>Date&Time> and turn Set Automatically off and on, it will catch up, but just for as long as the screen stays on. Not too friendly for battery life that way. Also, maybe unrelated, the Bluetooth function will not turn on. When I try to turn it on, I just get a constant spinning wheel.
I have tried everything from a simple restart to a full device wipe back to factory default. No change. I took it in to the Genius bar this afternoon. They tried a diagnostic and another wipe. Then they said they didn't know and I could pay $150 to replace it. Not a bad deal, but not what I wanted to hear.
Any ideas?

All I can suggest is
Try DFU mode and then restore again to factory settings/new iPod

1st Gen Ipod Touch will not charge...arghhhhhh!!!

I have been trying to charge my ipod touch for days now. It will do everything except charge. When I plug it into my mac the battery symbol shows the charge indicator for a couple of minutes then changes to the fully charged symbol, but the battery remains only 10% charged. After a few more minute it then switches itself off. Occasionally the battery indicator will show up as 50% charged but if I switch it off and on it goes back to 10% very frustrating.
I have tried charging it overnight using 3 different USB cables plugged directly into my Mac, a firewire mains adapter and 2 different Ipod Speakers still nothing.
I have restored it a number of times to the original settings and have upgraded to 3.0 to see if that would fix it all to no avail.
Can someone help me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Is it quite easy to replace them?
I suppose it is 'for one skilled in the art' - if you didn't get Applecare and are out of warranty, do a little Googling and you will find several places that do touch battery replacement.

My 4th Gen iPod Touch can not recognize my wifi

my 4th gen iPod does not want to recognize my wifi network. It sees it and even allows me to enter the password, but the circle just keeps spinning and never connects! It was working fine up until about 4 days ago. I have tried turning off and on, telling iPod to forget network and rejoining but it does not seem to work. The most frustrating part is that my wifes 4th gen works fine on the same network when she is sitting on the couch right beside me. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

- Reset the iPod. nothing is lost
reset iPod. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Power off and then back on your router.
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.

1st gen iPod Touch will not update past 1.1.5

I am sure this question has been asked before and probably answered but I have tried just about everything I can think of and I cannot get an update past 1.1.5. I have restored my unit and downloaded firmware files for 2.2 and 3.1 but both give me an error trying to update. I know I have to purchase the update but I cannot find a way to do it through iTunes. It says my device is fully updated.

You can purchase the update here:

1st gen iPod touch not showing in iTunes 10.6

Hi
though it was about time to update my music on my 1st gen iPod Touch, however, when i connected it to iTunes it does not show up.
Is anyone able to assist?
I have tried hard resets and it doesn't work.
Have Apple stopped supporting the 1st gen Touch?
Regards

I am having a similar issue. I have a 1st-generation iPod touch, and a MacBook running Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.3) and iTunes 9.1.1. It's a bit old now and the WiFi isn't very good, but my iPod touch still works perfectly, except that it doesn't show up in iTunes, which I discovered yesterday when I tried to sync some new music. I got my iTouch G1 the first week they came out and it worked perfectly with my iBook G4 running Tiger, and also worked perfectly with my new MacBook running Leopard which replaced the iBook when its logic board bit the dust. I recently updated to Snow Leopard (about a month ago now), and now my iTouch doesn't show up in my iTunes sidebar, but a volume shows up in Disk Utility that could only be this iPod and things do happen when I plug in the iPod (the first time I connected it since I added some Snow to my Leopard, iPhoto opened and prompted a download of a screenshot I'd taken with the iPod). I'm mostly writing this right now because the support page pertinent to this issue is down due to some sort of Apple web maintenance and I'm tired of getting the same error message. I actually have everything on my Mac backed up, and when I installed Snow Leopard I just did a basic installation but have been thinking of going back and doing a clean wipe and install and then getting the iTunes and iPhoto libraries et cetera off of my external HD. Would this fix my problem? I figure that since my iPod touch's files and system have been constant throughout this, it must be some issue with Snow Leopard, however before I wipe everything and have to set my system up again from scratch, I would like to know if this problem would be fixed by doing that or if there is some problem inherent in Snow Leopard that needs to be manually fixed.

Could not restore 1st gen ipod touch unknown error occurred(2003)

could not restore 1st gen ipod touch unknown error occurred(2003)

Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.
Also, have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

Thank you so much! what a swift reply - I am amazed! but my main problem is trying to transfer an app bought in iTunes to my desktop Mac. I thought 'seeing' the iPod in Devices would make it easier, but I am stuck... Can you help?

1st Gen iPod touch not charge and not recognized by iTunes

I bought 1st gen iPod touch without cable. It won't charge or be recognized by iTunes. Purchased a new 1st gen cable, but still doesn't work. Do I still have the wrong cable, or is there another problem?

Did the sell say it was working?
Per the Apple store, the current dock-to-USB cable can be used with all iPod Touches.
