Connecting Ipod Touch to the internet

Hi,
I've been trying to connect my ipod touch to the internet. It picks up my router and connects but won't let me access the internet?
I've reset network settings, renewed license's.
Is there something else I can try?

This is the official apple fix for this problem over the phone!
1. unplug router and other device if you have it for 4 minutes, Not 1 minute not 10 seconds. 4 MINUTES. Then plug back in .
2. Settings, general , reset, reset network settings.
3. Will reboot on its own.
4. It will work , I have done everything there is to get this back on and it was as simple as unplugging it for 4 minutes unlike 1 minute and then doing the reset. When it works make sure to spread some info around about this fix like I have on this forum and youtube videos. Help people out. Thanks

Connecting iPod touch to the Internet via a Mac with a wired Internet connection

I have a Mac Mini which is connected to the Internet using a wired Ethernet connection. I've just bought an iPod touch, but the iPod can't connect to the Internet using the wi-fi network I've created on the Mac Mini, although it knows that the network exists. Any ideas?

What happens when you try to connect to the network? Error message?
These may help

I'm trying to connect ipod touch to the computer

I'm trying to connect my daughters ipod touch to the computer it makes all the beeping noises and is charging but isn't found on iTunes so I can't add anything to it or sync it. It was last synced in January this year. My other daughters iPod touch connects fine.
What has happened and how can I connect it???????

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

I can't connect my iPod touch to the internet

I just bought an iPod touch and I am about to return it because I am so frustrated!! I have basically tried everything in the book to connect to the internet. I entered in the password for my router, its 6 digits but my iPod only will allow an 8 digit or more password to connect?? What password do I enter to connect? I have also used the PIN number on the bottom of my router to try to connect it, but that doesnt work either. I can't access anything on it, no weather, maps, safari, youtube... anything that requires the internet. Also my router is set to only allow wireless N devices, does it need to be changed to allow wireless G aswell? Please, if I could get some help, I want an iPod touch so bad, but not if I can't use all of the devices, I could have just kept using my old iPod nano.

Unable to connect new ipod touch to the internet at home using wifi

Hi i've just brought ipod to touch to replace my broken classic...I AM UNABLE TO CONNECT TO WIFI!! help please!!

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:

If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I do not have wifi at home. Is there another way to connect my ipod touch to the internet?

Maybe some smart person has come up with an app for this?

Thanks for your reply lllaass.
Do you know what I need to do to put wifi on my home pc?
Is it just a matter of dropping it off at a computer shop and asking them to do it for me and is it expensive?
Using the pc as a hotspot sounds like a good idea.

Connecting iPod touch without WiFi

Just last week I purchased the latest iPod touch and have a question about its network-ability.
At home it works fine on my bridged n and g network (Apple Time Capsule (n) and older Apple Airport Extreme (g)), but at the office - for security and cost - we are Ethernet only.
Is there a way to get the iPod touch onto the internet to my MobileMe account via my iMac at the office using the iMac's bluetooth or the iMac's USB port?
My apologies if this questions been asked anywhere else. Thank you.

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected. Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices. After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected. Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP. Any solutions other than turning it on and off again? Not a Merry Christmas morning.

Ok, so, a couple of things: Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod. Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel. Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem. Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet. Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod.
Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,

CANNOT CONNECT iPhone/iPod touch to WIRELESS INTERNET wi-fi - (TTLS vs WEP)

Hi. I bought the iPod touch on the day it came out; took it home, it all worked fine.
At home i have a wireless router, and it supports the WEP format. so my iPod connects to the internet perfectly.
the day i took it to school was the day I got very disappointed at Apple.
My school, Concordia University, supports only the TTLS format, because it provides better security. But not the iPod touch, nor the iPhone support TTLS, they only work with WEP!
So naturally, i'm not able to connect to the internet using my iPod, and i found out everybody else who has an iPhone has the same problem.
what's even more surprising is that most of the hotspots (95% of them) downtown also work only with TTLS. apparently it's a newer technology. You can imagine how frustrated i was when i was unable to use my iPod touch for one of it's main functionalities.
So why doesn't the iPhone or the iPod touch support this ????
it's such a simple and necessary function, and yet they decided not to put it on ...
So I ask Apple to include TTLS support in the next iPod/iPhone software update.
And everybody else who owns an iPod touch / iPhone should also let Apple know of this serious lacking in their firmware.

Ya i have to admit, i'm very disappointed right now. I'm really close to getting n iPod Touch but because of this situation, their's no way in **** i'll be spending that money without it working at my university (Concordia).
This is not an admin problem at my university. They're using a protocol (like many others) to protect their users from crooks and such. Doesn't it make sense to think that the majority of iPod users, go to school? Of course it does. I don't get how this "authentication" was dropped easily like this.
Unfortunately, Montreal is infested with TTLS format (which the OP has already mentioned) and that blows at the fact that iPT doesn't support it.
All students are crying out to Apple right now because of this, Guys! Make it happen, please!

Is there a way to connect iPod Touch to internet over my computer?

I don't have wifi, but I have internet and I can't get an app to update without wifi. I really can't connect through my iTunes on my computer? This seems kind of strange.
Don't know which "generation" it is it was a gift. It may be the one right before the last update.
Thanks for any help!

I think there two separate things being discussed here. One is syncing the iPod touch to the Mac. That's working fine. The other is using the iPod over WiFi, which has nothing to do with syncing. stephmayo is asking about using the iPod to connect to the Internet through the Mac, not syncing the iPod, I believe...
You have a MacBook with wireless networking (AirPort). If the MacBook is using a wired Ethernet connection for Internet access, you should be able to +share it+ over AirPort (WiFi) to your iPod touch.
Go to System Preferences Sharing pane. Select +Internet Sharing+ in the sidebar - do not check the box yet, just select it. Over to the right, set it so that you
+Share your connection from *Built-in Ethernet*+
+To computers using AirPort+
Click on the +AirPort Options+ button. You can name the network and enable encryption (security) using WEP. You can try it without encryption first to make sure it works.
Now, check the box next to +Internet Sharing+ in the sidebar, to turn ON this sharing service. Use your iPod to connect to this new wireless network you have established. If you need to make any changes to the AirPort settings (such as encryption) you have to turn OFF (uncheck) the service first.
The docking cable connection is only or charging and syncing. You cannot connect to the Internet from the iPod using the cable connection.

Connecting ipod touch to internet via internet sharing

My MacPro was connected to the internet. My ipod touch showed that it was connected to the MacPro via internet sharing, but I could not get the ipod to complete the connection to the internet. I selected "Allow all incoming connections" in the MacPro system preferences>security>firewall and the ipod could see the internet. Success.

If we wanted to open only individual ports (or a range of ports) rather than disabling the whole firewall, which ports would we leave open?
TIA,
George

I have my iphone 4 and an ipod touch on the same apple ID. My daughter tried to change the settings on the ipod so that she could facetime on both her ipod and iphone which is on a separate Apple ID. I no longer have a 3G connection.

I have an iphone 4 and an ipod touch on the same apple ID. My daughter who uses the ipod tried to change the apple ID on the ipod to be the same with her apple ID on her own Iphone so that she can use facetime on both devices. Not sure what she did but my 3G connection is no longer working.

Changing Facetime settings on an iPod will have no affect on cellular settings on an iPhone. Something else is going on there. If she did not change any settings on the phone, then nothing she did could affect your celluar 3G.

When i connect my ipod touch to the computer and it brings up itunes, and it starts syncing, it just stays on the last step(6) and I can't download anything else to my ipod.

I connected my ipod touch to the computer. When it brings up itunes and start to sync, it stalls at the last step (6). This keeps me from being able to add other songs from my library to my ipod. I'm very new at this and maybe just don't understand how it works.
