Both my brother and I have an iPod Touch 4g, my one will connect to our wifi, my brother's wont!!!!

Both my brother and i have an ipod touch 4g. before this we both had an ipod touch 3g. I got my 4g before he did and mine connected to our wifi first time and i haven't had any problems. my brother got his today and i have tried repeatedly to connect it to wifi but it just wont work. I have tried the same method as i did with mine and i have followed apple's troubleshooting. when i try it just comes up with 'unable to connect'!!!!! please help with suggestions!

Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • I have 2 ipod touch 3rd gen. Cannot connect to my wifi.  One will connect with neighbor's unsecure network..neither connect with my secured network

    I have 2 ipod touch 3rd generation.   Cannot connect to my wifi.   One will connect on and off to my neighbor's unsecure wifi but neither will connect to my secured wifi.   All my wireless computers connect plus my Ipad connects.    They did connect at one time but haven't used them for anything but audio books which connect through Itunes on my computer.   It shows my secured network name.   When I originally connected them it was another rather with other security but since then I have bought new equipment.   My Ipad and my printers just automatically connect.    I have put in the Ip information plus but still no luck.

    . You do not need a seperate Apple ID. One one device you just need to go to Settings>Messages and add another/different Messaging email address and delete the common Apple ID address. Also see:

  • I work in a public library and we have two ipod touch and two ipod nanos we would like to circulate for our patrons. Any advice on how we can do this? Should we allow patrons to set the device up for personal use or download static content?

    I work in a public library and we have two ipod touch and two ipod nanos we would like to circulate for our patrons. Any advice on how we can do this? Should we allow patrons to set the device up for personal use or download static content?

    With the Nanos, you should have no problem lending them loaded with audiobooks from Librivox, etc.
    As for the iPod Touches, I'm not sure the question is whether you should allow patrons to set up the device for personal accounts, but whether you can prevent them from doing so. Prepare to to a factory restore every time one is returned.

  • My mom has a samsung galaxy and I have an iPod touch 5 but I can't text her. Why can't I text her?

    My mom on has a samsung galaxy and I have an iPod touch 5 but for some reason I can't text her. Why not?

    The iPod has no native texting capability. It can send/receive messages to other suitably equipped Apple devices Via iMessage. To text to non-Apple devices, you will need to download a text App from the App Store.

    You can restore from backup since the screen-lock passcode is not restored.
    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • TA44535 I have an Ipod touch 5th gen that will no longer charge. I have plugged it into my computer and a walll outlet. I have only had this since christmas.

    My ipod does not charge anymore. I have plugged it into an outlet and computer. I have bought a new charger /p>

    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 another cable       
    - 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.

  • I have an IPod touch 3rd gen that won't see any wifi connections.

    The wifi doesn't work at all. I tried everything besides restoring it to fix the problem and the back where the antenna is has been pushed in. It just loads like it's looking for wifi, but it doesn't find anything. Any ideas how to fix it? :/

    Likely that the wifi antenna got damaged or disconected. The iPod has to be fixed.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. May not be wirh it for a 3G.

  • Hey Apple (: Just wondering if i block the facebook and twitter on my ipod touch with a password will is effect the password on the app store ?

    Hey Apple (: Just wondering if i block my facebook and twitter on my ipod with a password does this password effect the app store password or can they be different ?

    I did not blocked it . My mum did she got the people from the store to do it but i'm just worried that the password she use to block those sites might effect the password for my appstore. So you're saying that it won't effect and that i can use a different password ?
