Can't Connect To Certain Sites iPod Touch 2nd Gen

Hello.
I have an iPod Touch 2nd Generation, and I use an Arris modem to connect to the Internet. I do not have a router.
I've recently moved to a new location. I had to switch to a different ISP and modem. The internet has been working completely fine on all of my devices connected to the modem wirelessly except for my iPod Touch.
The best way I can describe the problem is: I cannot connect to certain sites. Due to Apple's complete abandonment of the older iPod Touch generations, I don't use it for anything but Facebook for when I am home and don't want to be sitting at the computer. That being said, there are only 3 sites I can report not working. Google, YouTube and Facebook all don't work for me. However, I have on rare occasion actually been able to connect to Google even though I haven't changed any settings. I can confirm that Reddit and Yahoo do work. I haven't tried other sites. The message I get when I try to connect to these sites is, "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding."
The steps I have taken so far (that I can remember) in hopes of fixing this problem are listed below:
Restored my iPod via iTunes to factory settings.
Restored my iPod to previously backed up data.
Reset network settings in iPod settings.
Disconnected and reconnected to modem wireless signal.
Turned off iPod and held down Home and Power button for 10 seconds or so.
Downloaded Facebook Messenger app to attempt to log in that way (did not work).
Reset modem.
Probably some other things too.
I would appreciate any help you fine folks over here could provide as I have no other options to turn to.
Thanks a lot.

Unfortunately, I have no other available networks to test it on. I can say that it was working before I moved. I can connect to the sites completely fine on all other devices connected to the same network. Unless there is some setting on the modem that specifically stops only my iPod Touch I figured it was something on the iPod causing the problem.

Can anyone help me restore my ipod touch 2nd gen?

Hi there. I am trying to update the software on my ipod touch but I keep getting an error code that states I can't restore it. Error code is 1-
Any tips?

Hi. Error code 1- indicates that you are unable to update or restore your iPod. To solve this problem you need to put your device into recovery mode. Before you begin ensure that you have some charge in your device.
You should first disconnect your iPod from your computer and make sure it is turned off. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
When you next open itunes it will notify you that your device is in recovery mode and will ask you to restore it. It should all work after this.
If your still unsure take a look at this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Hope this helps, Ben

I have lost my photos from my PC. I have them only on an iPod Touch 2nd Gen.

I have lost my photos from my PC.
I have them only on an iPod Touch 2nd Gen.
How can I copy them from the iPod Touch 2nd Gen to my PC?
The software version on the ipod 2nd Generation is 3.1.1(7C145).
I would very much appreciate help in this regard.
Thanks

If the photos were synced to the iPod;
- you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or Phone view to copy them to another computer.
- Email them to the computer
- See it there is an app available that will transfer them to your computer. However, there may not be any compatible with your model iPod and its iOS. There is the Photo Transfer app but that requires iOS 4.3 or above but your 2G iPod can only go as high as 4.2.1

I recently bought an Ipod touch 2nd gen, (Ebay). It's in great shape and seemed to be wiped clean.
When I connect (via windows computer) to Itunes with usb cord the Ipod icon shows, but the only function you can do is eject. When its in the upper right hand corner and you click on it all you get is a done button, when it's in the side bar right click and your only option is eject, left click has no effect. If I go to "file">devices it's as if there are no devices connected.
I purchased a song with Itunes on the Ipod itself, and it transferred to my library on the computer automatically .
I have an Iphone 5 and a nano that are still functioning with Itunes thru computer so I'm thinking the issue is with the Ipod touch. I've reset it several times, rebooted it, with no change.
nothing on the internet has helped, I called tech support and got disconnected. Should I take it to a retail store? I just don't know where to go next, I'm of course willing to pay for tech or repair. looking for suggestions.

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.

How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?

How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?
The iPod Touch was working perfectly fine. iTunes suggest that I update the iPod Touch to the latest operating software, and I proceeded to do so. Then a message popped up stating that the iPod Touch needs to be fully restored - and that all data will be lost. The iPod Touch now displays the 'plug into iTunes' screen, and is stuck there. There are irreplaceable family momentos on the iPod Touch. How can I recover files from an iPod Touch prior to a required restore? HELP...

Your only hope is to contact a data recovery company. When it shows the connect to iTunes screen the iPod is essentially deleted.
You can restore from an existing backup

I am moving my iTunes to a new laptop (from XP to 7). I can sync my iPod Classic but my iPod Touch 2nd Gen freezes.

Hi,
I have an old laptop running WinXP Home SP3 with iTunes 10.2x installed. I sync my old iPod Classic120GB and a newer iPod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB. I recently bought a new laptop with Windows 7 Pro. I am moving everything to the new one. I did not have a problem with the old iPod. But when I tried to sync the Touch it just freezes while trying to backup the existing contents. I have read a few support docs and have tried some of them where I have to tweak some of Window's Admin tools. I have also uninstallled and installed iTunes. There are so many things to try in the troubleshooting steps that I can't really figure out which is which. I also can't backup the contents of my current iPod Touch by attaching the device and right-clicking on it. The Backup context menu just isn't there.
I currently have iTunes v10.3x and I need some "serious" help. :-) I did the Run Diagnostic with the device attached. I looked at the report and saw something that might be the cause. I am running iTunes not as the administrator. But if I try to run it as an admin, the Library is now different and I'm just "scared" to screw things up some more.
Thank you.
Horace
P.S. Should I send the diagnostic report? Is it safe? If not what info should I exclude? Thanks.

" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club

You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

I can't seem to get my iPod touch (4th Gen) to play photo slideshows or videos through my TV. Is this a design flaw? Or is it me? My old iPod used to do it no problem, but now I can't even find any video out options in the settings.

IPod touch 2nd gen can no longer buy any songs

I realise the answer to this is because the iPod touch 2nd gen is too old but I want to check. It runs ios 4.2.1 and my wife wanted to buy a couple songs via the iTunes app over wifi. Everytime she tried to buy a song after inputting her password it went through the motions but just as it changed from waiting under downloads it then vanished and didn't download. I thought it was a problem with her account but the ame song downloaded fine on her iPad running 5.1.1 and also on our laptop in iTunes.
I realise many apps are no longer compatible etc but to not even be able to download songs now is pretty disheartening. Yes we can buy on the laptop and sync but essentially the wifi on the iPod touch is a bit useless now. It might as well just be an ipod now!
Cheers
