Can No Longer Connect Wirelessly to ITunes With My IPod Touch

While I can connect to the Internet with my IPod Touch through my router, I cannot seem to connect to ITunes wirelessly. My device only shows when I have it connected through the cable directly. The Apple help site hasn't been much good, as they suggested to completely uninstall ITunes (I followed their instructions implicitly) and re-install. Same problem. Not sure if this has anything to do with the new OS....but it's suspicious.

Not sure if I was included in this question, but I'll answer anyway. My computer that I have ITunes on is hard wired into the router, which makes sense since it's on my computer desk But as I said, wireless works fine so It's logically not the IPod, it's not the router, so it has to be either the new OS or ITunes.
I have Rogers Cable and a Cisco Modem/router.
How do you quote posts on here?
Yep, you were included...
To add a quote, click Reply, and at the top of the reply window is a tool bar.  Click the icon to the right of the smiley face....
Funny thing is, my desktop is hard wired too, but for grins and giggles I put iTunes on one of my laptops, and used the laptop to reset my iPod to factory settings.  Wireless synch still didn't work....
What really aggravates me is when you go to the KB to find out how to troubleshoot an issue, the articles are pretty much blank.  Click here, set that, but no real explanation of how stuff works or what can cause it to break....
One thing I have noticed is the KB article says that after you tell iTunes to use Wireless Synch if you don not eject the deivce, it will stay connected when you unplug it...  I never saw that behavior....

  • With verson 12.01.26 my iTunes can no longer connect to the iTunes store or iTunes Match

    After downloading iTunes version 12.01.26 on my PC my iTunes can no longer connect to the iTunes store or iTunes Match. My itunes displayed a message at the top that it was connecting to the iTunes Store. After closing my laptop and opening it again after a few hours, there was a message stating that my computer was unable to connect to iTunes because of a problem with my internet connection. My laptop is connecting fine with the internet, yet not through the iTunes program, or at least it seems that way. I'm not positive but  feel like the issue may have stemmed when I downloaded the new version, I think maybe I messed up the process somehow by closing my computer or something.

  • Can no longer connect wirelessly with other computers

    I have an iMac and a Macbook Air.  For some reason I can no longer connect wirelessly between the two. They don't show up in Finder.  Therefore I can't use "Remote Disk" on my Macbook Air to install programs.
    Recently I switched from using an Airport router to a Cisco router. Could this be the problem? I can still connect to the internet through my wireless network, but can't find my computers.

    Hello,
    All the information you need is printed on the back of the Hub. There are two passwords, one for the Wireless setting (WPA password) and one for access to the hub (Admin password).
    (Taken from http://www.jarviser.co.uk/jarviser/images3/newhubpswd.jpg  ).
    If you have forgotten what you changed the admin password to, then I'm afraid you're lost and you should factory reset your Hub:

  • Can no longer connect to the internet with the 580...

    Hi, my PC was able to connect to the internet with my 5800 via a USB cable.  Now, I can no longer connect to the internet with the 5800 via a USB cable. 
    I had never tried connecting the computer to the internet with the 5800 via Bluetooth prior to this incident, so I tried that.  Strangely, it works.  
    My question is how come I can no longer use the 5800 via USB as a modem, but how come the 5800 via Bluetooth still works as a working modem?
    Sorry, if my sentences are confusing.  I have a terrible headache at the moment.  While the Bluetooth connection works, I just feel better using the USB connection and knowing that my 5800 has a clean bill of health. 
    BTW, my PC is on Windows 7 Professional at the moment.  I've tried uninstalling the Ovi Suite and reinstalling it, but that didn't work.  I've also tried using PC suite instead of the Ovi Suite but that didn't work either.  What other options do I have, beside hard resetting the phone?  Thanks in advance.        
    Edit: BTW, the message shown when I tried to connect to the internet with the 5800 USB modem was "failed to establish a network connection". 
    Solved!

    I can't download complete albums from iTunes with my iPod - only singles.  If I want to download an entire album I have to do it with my computer and then connect and sync my device.  Can anyone help me and tell me how I can download using my iPod?  Thank you.

  • IMac no longer connects to wifi (3 other Macs + iPod Touch DO).

    My iMac 23" (3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz, Airport card: Airport Extreme 0x14E4, 0x8E, fw version Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0, OS10.5.8) no longer connects to wifi. The connection has been dropping regularly over the past month or so and since this morning I can no longer connect wirelessly.
    I also have a MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz, Airport card: Airport Extreme 0x14E4, 0x93, OS10.6.4), a G5 (Dual 1.8 GHz PPC, 1.5 GB, OS10.4.11) and a PowerBook G4 (1.33 GHz, PPC, 768 MB, OS10.4.11) that connect perfectly well - all using a Zyxel Prestige 600 series/Airport Extreme (version 5.7). All 3 "see" the AE Base station in the Airport Admin Utility. To join this network, a password is required and I need to add the device in Access Control. My iPod Touch also connects to my network without problems. All connected Macs are up-to-date software-wise. I did not change anything in the iMac's settings prior to the wifi problems.
    The iMac does NOT see the base station (tried rescanning several times, unplugging the basestation, etc). It showed up a few times after I unplugged the base station but then disappeared again. Everything looks fine otherwise, the Network system preference says it's connected to my network. Airport status: full bars.
    I have tried to connect the iMac directly to the base station with a cable and that worked. I have also changed the channel (which was set at 10) to 1. I've renewed the DHCP lease.
    Looks to me this is an iMac problem, considering there's 3 other Mac's + an iPod Touch connecting to wifi without problems as I'm typing this.
    What happens when I delete the system configuration? Will I also lose all of my base station settings? (I have a long list of "approved devices" in there that I'll need to copy).
    Things tried:
    - restarted computer
    - restarted basestation
    - unplugged basestation + restarted iMac
    - switched off+on router + unplugged from basestation + restarted iMac
    - renewed DHCP lease
    - changed channel

    HI,
    Go to /Library/Preferences. Move all the files in the System Configuration folder to the Trash, restart the iMac.
    That doesn't alter your settings, just resets Airport.

  • I can't load tv shows from iTunes onto my iPod touch.  I can't purchase video (tv shows) on the phone, either.  Anyone know anything about that?

    I can't sync tv shows from iTunes to my iPod Touch (4th gen).  I can't purchase tv shows on the iPod, either.  Anyone know what the problem is?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Are you sure your computer is authorized for this? This is probably your issue.
    If you go to the "Advanced" tab on the top in iTunes, is there a "Deauthorize computer..." button or an "Authorize computer..." button? If there's an "authorize computer" link, then that is your issue. Authorize your computer, and you should be able to transfer iTMS purchased songs from iTunes to iPod.
    For details, see this Apple article:
    About iTMS authorization and deauthorization
    I hope this helps you,

  • Can no longer connect to Airport Express with upgrade to iTunes 10.1

    Since I upgraded to iTunes 10.1 I can no longer connect to my Airport Express (unknown error-15000). Another computer on my betwork running an older version of iTunes still works on the Airport Express.
    Any ideas? I have tried to uninstall and reinstall airport express with no success.

    Rather than disabling the firewall, try making sure you've got exceptions in it for BonJour. Although the following document is about a different error message, the instructions in there are worth trying. (At step 7, make sure there's an exception for BonJour as well.)

  • HT201356 I can't change the primary email associated with my ipod touch

    my apple account has my primary address but I cannot change the primary address associated with my ipod touch. Any suggestions?

    Without knowing what haooens wehn yu try:
    I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
    Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
    How do I change my Apple ID Name or personal information?
    You can change your Apple ID Name at My Apple ID. Click on Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your Apple ID name and password. Click Edit and enter the new information, then click Save Changes. Changes take effect immediately. You can also use My Apple ID to change your personal information, such as your mailing address or email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.

  • How can I disable wifi while playing music with locked ipod touch?

    When I play music and lock the iPod touch, the wifi stays on which drains more battery than is needed. I don't want to turn off wifi in Settings since I like the flexibility to unlock the iPod and quickly check email, browse the web while listing to music (without going into settings, turn it on, browse, go back to settings and turn it off). Once I lock the iPod while playing music, I'd like the wifi to turn off. I know it will stay on while streaming that is expected, but why is the wifi staying on when playing music of the iPod?? Is there a way to do what I am asking? I don't recall having this issue with OS 1.x or 2.x. Also I have seen some posts asking for the opposite (leave the wifi on when not playing music and iPod is locked). These posts acknowledge that wifi stays on while playing music, so it seems to be 'feature' or bug in the OS.

    henry is correct. you can't do that.
    however, for what it's worth, i have found that wifi connection is similar to mobile phone network connection. i.e. if a phone is searching for a network, it takes up huge amounts of battery, but if it is constantly connected, it doesn't. so it is the 'search' procedure which drains the battery. similarly with my iPod touch. if it is connected to my home wifi network, but i am not using the wifi connection, the battery will not drain significantly. it's when i'm away from home and forget to switch it off that the battery drains. or when i am using it constantly (like listening to a 3.5 hr radio show using safari)

  • I Can No Longer Connect Wirelessly With My iPad!

    About 2 days ago my iPad suddenly stopped connecting wirelessly to my BT HomeHub.
    I have deleted all of the networks available to me and reinstated them, I have carried out a full Restore of my iPad and I have switched all of my equipment off and back on again.  But to no avail.
    Although my HomeHub is ticked on the list of Wi-Fi networks on my iPad every time I try to connect to the internet to browse, get mail or listen to the radio I receive a message stating "Connection failed.  The internet connection appears to be offline".  On occasions I get a BT Wholesale error message!  This happens whether I try to connect via my HomeHub or BTFon or BT Openzone etc.
    This is VERY inconvenient as it makes my iPad just an expensive photoframe!
    Incidentally, my BT HomeHub no longer recognises my password.  This has made me forget which is the correct password for accessing my HomeHub.  Is it the Wireless Key (WPA)?  Or the Admin. Password?  I've tried both of those and neither work.
    Why oh why do electronics have to go wrong when I need them most!
