2nd gen 8G iPod Touch, upgraded to iOS4, now wifi doesn't work

I have a 2nd gen iPod Touch and I upgraded to iOs4 a few hours ago, and now my wifi won't connect no matter what I do. I've restored the whole iPod twice. I've renewed the lease on the wifi connection for our home network. I've done just about everything that I have found on the internet to try and help and nothing works.
I select our home network and type in the password and it "connects". But if I try to do anything online, it immediately says that it's not connected. It works otherwise, but I mainly use it for apps, and most of those apps need an internet connection. It's starting to seem like a very pretty paperweight.
I've seen that others have had similar problems, but has anyone found a fix for this yet? I can't afford to just go out and buy a new iPod, especially since the new operating system is what made it break

And I've done all of the steps on this link - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

  • Why can't i load 4.3.5 onto my older (2nd gen?) iPod touch?

    Why can't I load iOS 4.3.5 onto my older (2nd gen?) iPod touch?  I think it's second generation.  The current software on it is 3.1.3.  When I try to add newer apps, iTunes tells me: "The app [insert name] was not installed because it requires a newer version of iPod software."   I get that maybe the OS on the iPod is old, but then I go to "Summary" in iTunes it tells me the software is up to date and iTunes will automatically check again.  Where can I get the newer software?  Will it run on my older Touch?  And how do I know what generation my Touch is?  I got it in the fall of 2008.  Thanks for your patience with a Mac lover who's not very tech savvy.

    "Why can't I load iOS 4.3.5 onto my older (2nd gen?) iPod touch? "
    Beacuse it does not support the new software.  2nd gen can only go to 4.2.1

    If you have a second gen, then you should be able to get 4.2.1.  What computer OS do you have?  What version of Itunes?

  • I clicked "yes" to upgrade iTunes and now it doesn't work. I get an error message stating my computer is missing MSVCR80 and then a message stating Error 7 (Windows Error 126). I've tried reloading iTunes twice. What can I do?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • 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?

  • HT201263 gen 5 iPod touch disabled. What now?

    Bought gen 5 iPod touch for my daughter. She has managed to disable it by putting in the wrong screen lock code numerous times. Now what? I have put it into reset mode and done a update but then what? Still keeps asking on screen for unlock code but can't put one in because iPod is disabled...... round and round we go...!

    This is asked and answered many times every day, including several in the past few minutes. It is also covered in the manual.
    The forum search bar is on the right side of this page as is the More Like this section
    Do as the manual says and restore the ipod.
    If you ware unable then type "unable to restore" into the search bar at the top of this page by Support and read the resulting help article.

  • Can't decide between the 1st gen and 2nd gen 32GB iPod Touch, please help.

    I would like to buy a 32GB iPod Touch, the problem is that i can't decide whether i should buy a 1st gen or 2nd gen.
    Obviously 2nd gen is "better" but is it worth the extra $$$?
    Best Buy has the 1st gen for $310 and the 2nd gen is $400, that's $90 difference.
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    that's $90 difference.
    Actually, it's only $80 because the 1G touch will come with the old 1.x software and it cost $10 to upgrade to 2.x software.

  • How do I transfer contacts from iPod touch 2nd gen to iPod touch 5th gen

    I just got a new iPod touch (5th gen) and can't figure out how to transfer the contacts from my old iPod touch (2nd gen). I was able to sync my contacts in the 2nd gen iPod touch with my Google account when it was connected to iTunes, but I don't see that option now with the 5th gen touch. It only looks like it can sync to iCloud.

  • New iPod Touch - restore from backup of (2nd gen?) iPod touch

    Am buying the new iPod Touch w/additional features - camera, hi-res, quicker processor, etc. - than the (2nd) Gen Touch which I bot June 2009. Run on iMac, all software currently "up-to-date" - want to just transfer over all of my apps, music, data (within iPod apps), MobileMe links, Mail links, etc - from old device to new device. I'd also like to "wipe" the old device in order to give it to someone else without giving them access to my information. Anyone out there give me a "link" to get instructions on this?

  • Does anyone else think it is stupid that the 2nd gen of iPod touch can't update to even 4.3?  Cuz none of the apps work anymore and i don't have $300 to throw down for a new one.

    Yeah, I have been getting tons of updates for my apps, but since my iPod touch can only go to software 4.2.1 all of my apps have slowed down and crash,freeze, and don't get all the new things available on the other software versions.  It is incredibly frustrating and kind of stupid to phase out the owners who have the older models that work just fine.

    The 2G was introduced 4 1/2 years ago. That is old in electronics standards. It does not have the hardware to support a higher iOS.

  • Ipod touch says its connected to wifi but wont work? Help!

    My ipod Touch 4th gen says its connected to wifi, but then wont work to any app involving wifi. We've had someone check out our Internet and our router and its fine. Every wifi needing device in the house works but not mine. Ive had my ipod for about 5 or 6 months and its never ever done this. it just stated not working yesterday. Thank you for all your help.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device 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

    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:

    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My iPod touch gets wi-fi signal, but doesn't work..?

    i've had my ipod touch for about a year and i use my friends wi-fi all the time at her house. she has a linksys router and cable internet. i recently got at&t internet, which is dsl. the internet modem also works as a router, with wi-fi. i can connect to the wi-fi perfectly. with a strong signal, but when i go to safari, or itunes, or anything. it says "unable to connect to the server" WHY!?
    ): help me please?

    ok so i have a cable modem type of internet provider; we use a dlink router because we have 3 common laptops. Neither my personal laptop with windows xp pro conects to the network well it comes out as limited connection and on my itouch the network appears, it has the checkmark, it has an ip address and subnetmask or whatever you call it. the connected symbol appears on the top bar next to IPOD. and yet I cant connect to anything it says in safari or facebok that it can't open or continue because im not connected to the internet. and it won´t connect to any wifi network anymore. so i've reset the network settings, i've reset all settings to see if it works again but nothing. It used to work well but don't know if some app or content or the itunes of the computer is making it unavailable to connect to the internet.

  • I try to put mi Ipod touch in dfu mode but it doesn't work

    My Ipod touch doesnt respond, and i tried o put it in dfu mode to restore it like the technical support said to do it, and nothing happened..

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Upgraded to Leopard, now LEAP doesn't work

    I upgraded to Leopard over the weekend and came into work this morning only to find that LEAP authentication doesn't work anymore. It tries to connect then says "See administrator" which I would do except... I am the **** administrator.
    Luckily Tiger machines are still working around the office. Anyone have any idea why LEAP is now even worse than it was in Tiger?
    Oh and I did try the deleting that kext trick and it is still no good. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

    Just a quicky update to everyone. I'm posting this from another Mac running Leopard right now with a clean install that has to be hard wired since the LEAP authentication does not work. So I don't think there is a difference between an upgrade install and a clean install - it just flat out does not work.
    If there is someone out there from Apple that would like to work and test things with me then let me know. I have ready access to our enterprise network and I can try things out with in house machines or my own. Seems like something like this should have been tested before releasing it to the public.
    Here is some information about this SSID:
    Authentication supported is LEAP
    Encryption supported is WPA Enterprise and WPA2 Enterprise
    Exact problem:
    Network Name: MyNetworkSSID
    Security: WPA2 Enterprise
    User Name: MyUserName
    Password: MyPassword
    802.1X: Automatic
    This will just flat out fail.
    Then if you go under advanced, click on 802.1X, then change the domain to User. Then add a new configuration called WPA: SSID (where SSID is your own SSID) then enter your username, password, wireless network (use the SSID), and check off LEAP authentication and uncheck everything else.
    Then go back to picking a network, enter the SSID, pick the new configuration you just created instead of the Automatic setting and it will authenticate via LEAP BUT it will get a self-assigned IP address.
    So from there I'm lost. I can get it to KINDA work but not really. On my ACS server I can see my ID is successfully authenticating and then there is no real traffic after that - like the Mac just stops talking after that.
    I'm open to suggestions though and I'll try whatever people throw at me. It would be REALLY nice to get this working before the end of December at the very least because I have projects that sort of depend on it.

  • I just connected my iPod to my xbox and now it doesn't work.

    and when I took it out it gave me a message telling me to come here.  It doesn't work, when I turn it on it just shows me a message saying apple.com/support/ipod.  What do I do?

    You probably fried it by plugging it in.
