Brand new ipod touch 3 frustrating slow wifi

Dear all, I just opened my brand new iPod Touch 3 yesterday and it connected to my wifi network without any issue.
But then, the browsing has been a joke. Not a funny one. It is slow like you have no idea. I could load only 4 pages in the whole evening. The google front was one of them.
I was sitting right next to the router. It didn't help.
I cannot say I was loosing the connection. Only that loading any page was next to impossible.
My provider of internet is www.get.no in Norway.

Update: I previously advised the following quoted manual set up. I thought had solved problem but it returned. I now have found I think the real root of slow iTouch on Airport Wifi Network. Seems wireless telephone is interfering on 2.4 freq. Channel for 2.4 Freq was set on 1. I have now changed to channel 6. I have now being operating Two iTouch at same time for several hours with no freeze and acceptable speed. Anyone else having hang ups, slow operation, etc. would suggest trying channel change on 2.4 Freq., especially if you have wireless tel. in house.

Quote of Maculu manual set up
You open Airport Utility, click on manual setup, enter your WiFi password, click on wireless tab, click on radio mode drop down box, pick 802.11a/n-802.11b/g instead of automatic, Now click radio channel selection and pick manual, pick any random channel for each of the 2 frequencies.

  • Why did iOS 5 make my brand new iPod Touch so slow?

    Recently downloaded the new iOS which, by the way, took nearly an entire night due to connection failure with host.  Since then my iPod has been almost glitchy.  I keep my apps pretty clean.  I don't have a lot.  And when I'm done with one I close it with the hold+home and "x" it down.  However, still the new iOS runs slow.  Will there be a new release coming soon with some bug fixes?

    You may want to try a few things to try and deduce the problem:
    1. back up your iPod touch with iTunes
    2. remove an app that you suspect may be large or makes heavy use of background work (some apps may use the network a lot via the background scheduling services of iOS)
    3. reboot, then repeat 2 until the problem disappears (you can blame the last app that you removed!)
    4. if the problem does not disappear, try a restore to factory settings.
    The iPod touch has limited working memory (half, in fact) compared to an iPhone 4(S) or iPad 2.  While iOS should be able to handle these memory conditions gracefully, it also depends on how well apps respond to shutting down when iOS tells them to.  Stubborn or rather large apps can cause the performance of your iPod to degrade momentarily until memory congestion settles.

  • Brand new iPod Touch 4G won't reconnect to WPA Enterpise wifi network

    I have a brand new iPod Touch 4G.  Wifi connection at home, where I have a WPA2 "personal" network, works great.  However, at the office, I have a WPA/WPA2 Enterprise network.  The network is not hidden, but the only way I can connect to it is via the "Other..." option, because I need to specify WPA Enterprise.  This means I need to type in the network name, my userid, and my password to connect to it.
    The problem is that after being asleep for about 15 minutes, the iPod is not able to reconnect to the network.  When the iPod awakes, it does not automatically connect to the network.  When I go to the Wi-Fi Networks setting, I can see the network name in the list.  If I click on it, my iPod says, "Unable to hoin the network xxxxx".  If I click on the (>) next to the name, I'm given the option to forget the network, which means that the iPod remembers the network, but somehow it can't connect to it.  My option is to "forget" the network and re-establish it by hand.  Obviously, this is not acceptable.

    I know WEP is bad, but the other thread implies that some iPods/iPhones running iOS 5.01 show WEP Enterprise as an option.  It seems to me that my iPod has a different wifi chip in it, which is why it's broken, even though my iPad running 5.01 works.  Maybe the new wifi chip does not support WEP Enterprise?  It does offer regular WEP though, so I'm still confused.

    You said you restored the iPod. Was the restore successful, that is, it went though all the steps without errors?
    Try a restore to factory settings/new iPod if yuhave not doe so so far.
    Are you  using the headphones that came with the iPod? Are you inserting the plug fully
    Have you tried another set of headphones in the iPod?
    The speaker is not that loud.

  • My brand-new iPod touch (5th Gen) battery takes a very long time to fully charge, even while not in use. Why is this and what should I do?

    Just recently bought a brand-new iPod touch, 5th generation. To be exact, got it two days ago, this past Saturday, on 12/13/2014. Initially, when I first turned it on, it had a fully charge and I didn't need to charge it. I also didn't see anything in the very small and limited start-up guide you receive with it to charge it for a certain amount of time before use, or to use it until the battery dies, then charge all the way, like a lot of electronic devices have you do when you first purchase them.
    So I was assuming I didn't need to do anything like that. First question, should I have charged it for a period of time before use? Should I have used it until the battery died, then plugged it in and charged it fully before use? Or is none of this necessary initially and iPod batteries are good to go from the start?
    Please excuse me if this is an obvious question, as this is my first ever iPod. Anyways,like I said, nothing in the "instructions" said anything about that, so I didn't do it, I just used it until it got below 20% battery left, then I plugged it in.
    Now for the battery itself, it takes literally a day or so to fully charge, even while not in use. Even if I use it for a while, turn off the iPod to make sure it shuts off all background data and apps, and then plug it in to charge, it still charges extremely slowly. I've never seen a device take this long to charge. As for the battery life itself, I'd say at full charge it lasts about 4-5 hrs, maybe 6, and then I have to charge it again. Meanwhile it takes around 24 hours, without me using it, to fully charge. If I use it while its charging, the battery decreases faster than it charges, and eventually I'll get the typical "20% battery remaining" message pop up.
    I know it is charging, as the lightning symbol is next to the battery symbol. Specifically, right now, I plugged it in about 1 hr 30 minutes ago, and it has barely gone up. Also, whenever I press the home button to check the battery, I can see it jump down from about 50% to somewhere around 25%-30%. What is that about?
    This is really frustrating, and I'm seriously contemplating either taking it back and trying my luck with a different iPod, or just taking it back and getting my money back. Any help and clarification on this matter would be greatly appreciated, and I'll answer any questions I can to shed more light on this.

    It will take longer to charge the 5G's battery than either the 3G or 4G's battery.

  • Brand new iPod Touch is not being recognized by my computer

    Hello,
    I just bought a brand new iPod Touch. I had iTunes installed since this is a replacement to a very old iPod. When I plugged my new iPod Touch to start the very first sync, iTunes crashed and started giving me a Windows 7 error (999). After many frustrated attempts to reinstall iTunes (and a few blue screens in between), I followed a recommendation in one of the postings to delete all the Apple programs in a certain order. It worked and I was able to reinstall iTunes. The problem now? My USB, which at one point kept asking for the software to install the iPod, won´t recognized it anymore. Period. I´ve rebooted several times and whenever I plug my iPod in any of the four USB ports, absoluletely nothing happens, as if nothing had ever been plugged in. I tested the USB with my blackberry and it recognized it. Please help!! Thanks!

    Ok, I just figured out so I´ll post it here in case someone has the same issue. I turned off my iPod while connected to the computer. Afterwards, the "other" connection showed up again in the device manager but this time it stayed there without disappearing and with the exclamation point on. I then proceed with one of the instructions in this posting to install the driver for the apple mobile which then showed up in the USB section of the hardware (it was never there until now). Bingo! I got my iPod Touch to connect for the first time! But seriously, why should it be so hard???? I'm concerned with the number of postings here. It looks as if Apple is selling the hottest toys but not be the best ones in terms of quality...

  • Brand New Ipod Touch-Can't Get Music under "music"

    This is my very first Apple product EVER!
    Got a brand new Ipod touch generation 4.  Downloaded two albums on Itunes, then synced it with my Ipod touch.
    When I go to use my Ipod, I got to the "music" icon, but i have NO music.
    I go to the "more" option and 9 out of 10 times, I'm only given THREE options there "Compliations, Composers, Genre".  Only once or twice in the last 72 hours, have I had an additional option of "shared".  When i do have the "shared" option, I can see the music that I've downloaded.  I click on it as if to play it, and it sort of seems like it's playing it, but I hear NOTHING.
    Please help me, I'm so frustrated!

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

  • Brand new ipod touch closes down computer every time i plug it in Help

    Can anyone help? I have a brand new ipod touch which closes down my computer everytime i plug it in. I have updated i tunes and we have 3 older ipods on the computer already in there own sites for the kids. I am not a computer wizz and getting frustrated on what to do.

    Pretty much anyone using an iPod Classic with iTunes 9 or 901 is screwed in a similar manner. Read around these threads and you'll see man. Sorry, no word from Apple yet on what's going on.
    Looks like their ''upgrade" to version 9 may actually be damaging hardware, as hard as that seems to believe.

  • Brand new Ipod Touch can't been seen in Itunes

    Hi there,
    I hope someone can help as this is driving me mad!
    I have just received a brand new Ipod TOuch but when I connect it to my PC per the installation instructions I get the following message "Itunes could not connect to the Iphone because an invalid response was received from the device"
    I have uninstalled all Apple products from my PC and reinstalled most up to-date version of Itunes.
    I have tried different USB ports.
    I have stopped and re-started the "Apple mobile device" and "Ipod Service" services.
    I have done all of the above in various combinations and re-started my PC numerous times.
    None of this makes any difference.
    The Ipod does not appear in my "My Computer" but when go into device manager on "My Computer" it is listed there so it would appear that my PC can see the Ipod.
    I tried it on another laptop and a brand new installation of Itunes sees the Ipod fine, no problems.
    However I have previously used an Ipod Nano on this PC and this I think is what is causing the problems.
    I have listed below the content of the Itunes Diagnostics file in the hope that that will help. I see that it does mention the Ipod Nano previously used.

    Okay, I had this same issue as soon as I updated to iTune 8.2. Someone gave me an idea about renaming a certain file, which I thought worked for a little bit. The issue came back and I am back in the same boat!
    The bad news is to find a version of iTune 8.1. Uninstall everything and then reinstall iTune 8.1. This has worked for some; however, some have even had to restore their iPod Touchs!
    I am giving in and doing this tonight. I waited as long as I could for the fix. My wife has an iPhone and we have NOT upgraded her iTunes to 8.2 because I have read iPhone users having a similar issue. If her iPhone died, then that would be ultimate deal breaker.

  • Charging for software on a BRAND NEW iPod Touch?

    Glad to hear people are now getting the 2.2 download to work. Has anyone gotten anywhere asking Apple for justification for a $10 software upgrade on a brand new iTouch purchased within 30 days and given as a Christmas gift? (I gave 2!) This is even crazier than "Microsoft think".
    There was another post comparing this to an upgrade from Windows XP to Vista - NOT SO. You would know a PC's OS in advance and you could weigh the cost of the PC PLUS an OS upgrade against whatever features you might miss by not having the latest OS. If you bought a PC back during the pre-Vista release you either received a coupon for an OS upgrade when Vista came out or you knew that the PC came with XP and you were OK with it. There was no disclosure of any kind when I was researching or purchasing the Touch.
    So, I ask again, does anyone have any words from Apple justifying this charge for their brand new iPod Touch? We're not talking about units purchased months ago, just BRAND NEW devices that are effectively 4 days old for the gift recipients.

    Your iPods may be 'new' as opposed to 'used', but they were clearly not the latest models.
    Any iPod that do not have the 2.2 software installed have to pay for it. This is because that the time they were manufactured by Apple and released the 2.2 software was not available. Apple sold those devices to the retailer before the 2.2 software was released and therefore you bought an 'old' model that is NOT entitled to the 2.2 software. It is not about when the device was sold it is about when it was manufactured. Apple do not know when the devices you have were sold to you anyway.
    Apple does know the serial numbers of your devices and it does check to see if they are entitled to the update and clearly they are not as they were manufactured before the new software was released.
    These are user support forums and are not manned by Apple. If you want Apple support then use the 90 day telephone support that came with your Apple product or the 12 month warranty which can be used in any Apple retail store.
    You have not been 'flamed' in these forums we are just giving you the truth.
    Just because you have a strange view or reality does not mean it is correct.

  • Brand new ipod touch not working like it should??

    I have a brand new ipod touch that i got last tuesday.and every downloaded app will stop working after i have had it for about a day..like it starts to load the app then just goes back to homescreen..all pre-installed apps work fine.
    but i have tryed restoring my ipod and it doesnt really fix it because all the apps stop working just like before..and i have also tryed deleting and re-installing the apps but is still doing the same thing.
    Is there a way to fix this or should i get it replaced??

    Maybe your using too much Virtual Memory. Try holding the sleep/wake button and the home button until you see the silver apple.

  • The head phone jack on my brand new iPod touch 5th generation is not working properly

    The head phone jack on my brand new iPod touch 5th generation is not working properly. It has sound without the headphones in but when I plug them in it has no sound, it's low, or poppy. I had only used my apple supplied headphones once before and it worked fine. I know it's not the headphones because I tried them on my girlfriends phone and they worked fine.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

  • Itunes asks to update my brand new ipod touch.. I do and now it wont work at all!!!

    just got my brand new ipod touch ... working good then itunes wants to update so I do now my ipod doesnt work at all! all I get is the apple and a line on face and wont even turn off!

    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.
