**I have had my iPod Touch 3rd Generation 64gb for about a year. I went to stay at a hotel and I connected to their Wifi just fine. But, when I came back home the next day, my home Wifi wouldnt work. Previously, I had been connecting to my home Wifi, which it Linksys, just fine. When I came home, I "connected" to it again like normal, but then I went to Safari and it said*: +"Safari cannot open page because it is not connected to the Internet."+ *What really confused me is that up in the top left corner next to where it says "iPod" it shows the Wifi connected with full signal. My brothers have 3rd generation iPod Touches, also both 64 gb, and they are connecting to the home Wifi perfectly. I don't know if it was the hotel Wifi that somehow messed up my iPod, but it certainly isn't working at my house. I have restored my iPod, but i haven't yet "forgotten" the network or restarted my router. I have read other messages and that is what it seems like I should do. They have an apple store in my town and I am wondering if I should take my iPod there to see if I could get it fixed or replaced. I am just very glad that it seems like this is a common problem.*
*Thanks for reading and possibly trying to help in the future,*

  • I purchased audio book from iTunes store. It shows up in my iTunes library but is not uploading to my ipod Touch, even though my computer is authorized. Any suggestions?

    I purchased an audio book from iTunes store. It successfully downloaded to my iTunes library< but will not upload to my ipod Touch, even though my computer is authorized. Any suggestions? Any and all are greatly appreciated.

    If your iTunes is set on manual sync, then you have to manually drag and drop. Otherwise every time yousyncyou'll get all changes even if you don't want it.

    Well, now I feel like an idiot. I was using TWO CORDS. Ya, don't make my mistake. The one I had a problem with was made by a company that was not apple, and it was for CHARGING. I bought it with charger, and that's all it can do. It doesn't send data like the real cable. So, check your usb cables. :S

  • Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, everything works fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN.

    Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, connection speed is fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN. My current location is Shanghai, China. OSX Mountain was installed this morning and everything worked fine until then. Is Express VPN not supported? What do i need to do in order to get it working again on my Macbook Pro (early 2011). I want to be able to go on websites such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, ect...

    Hi,
    I am having the same issue listed above on my new Mac Mini i just bought, I also contacted Express VPN support and got the same instructions with exception of the command to run in the utilities terminal.  I tried the steps listed, and both commands (posted here, and sent to me directly by Express VPN support), and still unable to connect on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.2, but I am able to connect on my iPad and my MacBook which is running Mac OS X 10.6.8.  Usually Express VPN is spot on with their customer support, but this is taking longer to get resolved.  Here is the steps sent to me
    Try doing the following to see if the problem gets resolved:
    Please follow the instructions here: https://www.expressvpn.org/support/setting_dns_servers_mac_os
    (should still be the same for Lion) and then add the following DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 & 208.67.222.220. After adding the DNS servers, please do the following steps as well:
    Note: If you're connecting to your ISP via a PPPoE connection, then set the DNS servers on the PPPoE connection itself and then restart your computer for the DNS settings to take effect.
    1. Click on Applications
    2. Click on Utilities
    3. Click on Terminal
    4. Type the following command (without the quotes): "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder"
    5. Press enter and then try reconnecting to the VPN.
    If you're still unable to connect, please send us in the latest log files.
    Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

  • Is there a way to find my ipod touch even though I didn't register it on iclound

    is there a way to locate my ipod touch even thought I didn't register it on icloud

    Only the old fashioned way

    No app on the iPod is required.                            
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or conbtinue to show off-line.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • My wireless earbuds work just fine, but some third-party apps play audio only through the iPod speaker even though the buds are properly connected.

    My wireless earbuds work just fine, but some third-party apps play audio only through the iPod and iPhone speaker even though the buds are properly connected. Does anyone know why and is there a solution?

    Assuming you are using Bluetooth headphones, do the apps have the option to use Bluetooth?
    The app should have an option to select the speaker (or wired earphones) or the Bluetooth headphones.

  • I downloaded the album Hullabaloo and the files are protected and won't let me put them on my iPod touch, even though the computer is authorized. How do i unprotect them?

    Read the title, that's basically it. It says it can't put the songs on my iPod because the computer isn't authorized, even though it is. The files are "protected" and have been like that since i bought the album. Any help? Thanks:)

    De-authorize your computer, then authorize it again.

  • Can't add music to ipod touch even though computer and itunes recognize it

    I have an ipod touch 4th generation that has suddenly stopped allowing me to add any music to it. It worked absolutely great with no problems for about a year  and suddenly when I load it up on itunes I can't add any music to it at all. if I try and drag any music from my computer on to it, I get this no icon as you can see
    Same if I try and add music from my itunes library.
    I've done pretty much everything I can think of to try and fix this, I've completely wiped itunes from my computer and re-installed, I've made sure that my ipods ios is up to date, I've reset my ipod, I've completely erased my ipod and restored it to factory settings. I have an old backup but it fails every time I try and restore it, saying that the backup session failed. I've tried resetting the lockdown folder as recommended but when I delete it, itunes can't connect to my ipod, so I ended up restoring the lockdown folder back to where it was from my trash can. I've made sure all my drivers are up to date and my computer is AMD so i know its not an intel chipset/ipod issue. I've turned off my antivirus and computer security programs and that made no difference at all.
    These problems are the same when tried on another computer and I'm sure I've done other things as well but I'm drawing a blank trying to think them up.
    I have an old ipod mini that has absolutely no problems at all using the same itunes and computer so I'm pretty sure this issue is located just on this ipod. I bought it used on amazon so the warranty and service coverage have already expired, so I kinda have to figure out how to fix it myself..
    Anybody help at all with this would be greatly appreciated

    I don't see how it could be windows causing the issue since my other ipod works fine with this installation of windows on this computer and I don't at the moment have anyway to back up what I have on my computer in order to re-install windows, but maybe if nobody else has another solution I'll look into it. Thank you for your help and suggestions

  • Am I able to find my stolen iPod touch even though I didn't put a tracking device on it before it was stolen?

    It seems that someone has stolen my iPod touch at my school.
    I didnt put a tracking device on it before it was stolen.
    So I was curious as to whether it's forever lost or somehow I am still able to find out where it's at?

    There is no need of a 'tracking device'. Hope you turned on the Find my iPhone button in the Settings app. If you did, just go to www.icloud.com , signin with your Apple ID, go to devices and from there you will be able to locate it's position, erase, seta  passcode, play sound, display a message, etc. remotely! Note that this works only when the iPod is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
    If you didn't turn on the Find my iPhone setting, you are out of luck!

  • Won't let me browse the internet, even though it says I am connected

    Hey I just bought an Ipod Touch and tried connecting to my unsecure network. I did that just fine and it said I had really good signal but I tryed to go to google and it said "cannot find the server". Does anyone know what is happening? I would really appreciate an answer!

    I'm having a similar problem. I'm trying to get on the internet at my school, it normally requires a username and password to get on to it from a laptop, but the Touch doesn't allow me to put in my username. I put my password in that is associated with my username and it doesn't work. I then tried "admin" as the password, and it connected me, but when I try to get on the internet it says that it can't find the server. Anyone know how I can get around this, or fix it? THANKS!!

  • 4th Gen won't connect to internet even though it says it's connected

    Hello Apple Community!
    I have been using my (4th Gen) Time Capsule to back up my devices and for my household WiFi for about 2 years now. The other day, after a storm, my connectivity was down. I thought it was my ISP, but after bypassing the TC and plugging the Ethernet Cable that would normally connect to the TC directly into my laptop, I was finally able to get back onto the web. (In fact, I am typing this question while hard-wired directly to my ISP modem... but I digress).
    Here's the problem (and screenshot's provide a thousand words) -
    The Time Capsule SAYS it is connected, but every single device that is connected to it {iPhones, MacBook, Xbox, etc.} will not connect to the internet.  Each device is giving an error saying "Cannot connect to internet" or "Unable to connect to internet".
    Remedies I have tried already:
    Contacted ISP and verified that the internet was still working
    Reset ALL devices including - modem and TC (like... 100 times)
    Checked update for TC (and I am current with update 7.6.4)
    Switched from DHCP to Static IP
    Programmed DNS server to recommended addresses (99.196.99.99 and 99.197.99.99) and released them back to automatic
    Turned OFF security password for WiFi and set network to OPEN
    Factory Reset TC
    Rebooted both TC and modem through both Apple recommended and ISP recommended power cycle instructions
    Read through all current, passed and relevant 4th Gen Time Capsule connectivity issues throughout thread
    I am about to see how the TC floats in the pond out back soon... (not kidding).
    I have tried everything and it wont work!  The only way I am typing this to the community is directly connecting to the ISP modem.  Any suggestions, please help!
    {P.S. - I took the screenshot of the router by pugging the cord back into the AirPort TC so you could see what I see, but again, to no avail.. I couldn't connect to the internet via the WiFi)

    Electrical storm could have blown the WAN port of the TC, without the TC diagnostics showing it up.. hence the green led.
    If you have not already done so, try powering down the TC for several hours. You need it cold, so overnight is a good idea.
    Power up the TC and quickly test it.. you have around 10min before issues start if it has heat issues.
    No luck quickly change the TC to bridge mode.. ie on the Network tab.. make sure it is off (bridge mode).
    Plug the modem to another port of the TC.. LAN 1 2 or 3.. does the light come on?? From a computer, test if you have internet access. In this mode only one computer should have internet. Tell me how that test goes.
    Do you have a computer running any OS prior to Mavericks? Even windows would do so you can load 5.6 airport utility.
    In 5.6 utility you can set wan port speed to 10mbit half duplex.. I want you to do that.
    And then test it again in router mode.
    What modem are you using??

  • My itunes wont let me sync music onto my ipod touch, even though i have a ton of music on my touch already

    My itunes is currently empty with no music in the library when i try and add music by dragging and dropping. (which used to work) i try and sync but it dont copy onto my touch. Any ideas?
    I have tried restoring the ipod and also re-downloading itunes.

    You can only drag and drop if you have iTunes configured to manually manage music. With the iPod connected to the compute go to the Summary pane for the iPod and check the box under Options that says sync only checked songs and videos.

  • I can't get my usb 720 to open the internet with windows 8.1 even though it says it's connected.

    I just down loaded my software for the vz usb 720 modem on a new windows 8.1 computer and it says it is connected but the internet won't come on. It says firewall settings my have to be changed (921) Has anyone had this problem and is there a software upgrade for windows 8.1 that I need to use, or is it so out of date it will not work with 8.1 at all?

        Morffun,
    I appreciate you reaching out. I do apologize, but that device is not compatible with Windows 8.1 software. If you wanted to explore other options for wireless broadband devices, we have plenty available. You can view them here: http://vz.to/YuBwCW.
