Connecting to wifi with new ipod touch - is it posible??

I bought an iPod touch to bring travelling with me, both to carry music and to have access to wifi. I am now in Buenos Aires,unable to use the wifi feature (I don´t know if it´s ever worked as I don´t have wifi in my home and didn´t get chance to test it out anywhere else before I left the UK - stupid,I know)).It detects the network in a wifi zone but won´tlet me join,even if I have the right password etc.I know I´mprobably being an idiot about this but I´m finding it very frustrating.I don´t know if it could be related in any way, but there are also quite a few songs I bought on iTunes that look as though they are playing on the iPod,but don´t actually play with sound.Have I just got a dodgy gadget?

Maybe you should post this in the ipod touch forum.
This is the iphone forum.

Why earphone without mic with new iPod Touch 4g?

I am die-hard fan of Apple products. Have recently bought iPod Touch 4th Gen. But failed to understand why did Apple ship micless-earphones with new iPod Touch?
iPod Touch 3rd Gen used to have earphone with mic and remote buttons.
I know, new iTouch has inbuilt mic, but since mic & volume controls are missing on earphones, I can't talk wih my handsfree! just because the mic is on iTouch panel.
Disappointed!!
Any chances for Apple to get this earphone replaced for new iPod Touch owner?

You can purchase the headphones with mic here:

Mail sync issue with new iPod Touch

I have been unable to successfully perform an initial mail sync using my new iPod Touch 32 GB with Version 3.1.1.
All is being successfully sync'd with the exception of mail. The error box when I click on mail with the iTouch reads - "Cannot Get Mail - The connection to the server mail.me.com failed"
I have an active .Mac account. I can successfully log into "mobileme" via my G5 1.8 dual running OS X 10.5.8. My cable web provider is Comcast in the Middle TN area.
Thanks in advance with any suggestions.

I found my "issue" is not an issue when I was able to access WiFi. The touch downloaded my messages! I was naively "assuming" that the initial setup via iTunes would have provided my initial message download.
Marking this "false alarm" as solved. I'll avoid "jumping the gun" on my next hurdle.

Youtube slow with New iPod Touch update?

It seems when i got the new iPod touch/ iPhone update the youtube seems to be slower than ever. It takes like 10 minutes to download a video. Anyone else having this problem or know how to solve it?

The iPod's YouTube application streams video from YouTube and doesn't download it. Anyway, however you are doing it, the speed depends entirely on the quality of your WiFi connection. The 2.2.1 update only made some minor corrections and did not have anything to do with WiFi.

Two main problems with new iPod Touch

I received my new iPod Touch 32Gb last week and I've been trying and testing for some days. It's really a nice device, but I've found two big problems with it...
1.- WiFi connections are extremely unreliable. On my home router it connects and gets the right IP from DHCP but then it gets stuck and can't transfer data. Safari seems to work sometimes, YouTube and maps are almost impossible to use, and other apps works only sometimes.
I've tryed also on my office WiFi network and it's a little better. But when connection is not used for a minute it gets stucked againg. Then I need to go to settings, switch WiFi off and on again, then works again for some time.
I've spend days searching on the Internet for a solution and I've found that lots of people has the same problem. It seems iPods have serious problems connecting to some routers and blame the router about this.
My opinion is that the problem is with the iPod. My router works flawlessly with my two laptop computers, my desktop computer, my PSP, and my HTC PDA. No problems at all. So, where's the problem?
2.- There's a big problem on iTunes with sync settings. I've noticed that users can select to to transfer the data manually or synch. Then on each tab for media you have individual options. For example I can choose to sync music and photos, but not sync videos and Podcasts.
The problem is that this don't work at all. I've selected to sync music but not videos but when sync all my videos had been deleted from my iPod.
I don't see the point on placing independent sync option on iTunes if they don't work at all.

Sounds like a faulty battery to me. Might need to contact Apple about that.
As far as the volume, I'm pretty sure, as I just responded to another post, the problem is the software. Any ios version 4.0 and higher, the volume is lower than iPod Touch/iPhones with 3.1.3 and lower. My volume has been lower ever since I upgraded to 4.0 and 4.2, and I've found a lot of other people online complaining about the same thing. I've seen a couple posts where some have said Apple lowered the volume on purpose. I think we just need to complain to them and hope they release an updated ios with the volume raised back to where it was.

Problems with new ipod touch gen3

Hi,
I just got a new ipod touch and i have problems connecting it with my WRT54GX ver 2 wirelles router. It shows that is connected but when i check the IP it has the default 169.254.202.45 one which means that the AP did not assign an IP. I tried with static IP and although in the log it shows outgoing communication from that IP the ipod does not connect to the internet.
A PC and a blackberry are working fine with this AP and the ipod has worked fine in my house (RUKOUS AP) and in two cofeeshops.
Anyone else having a similar problem?
Thanks
John

thanks for the suggestion but it did not work.
The iPod came up asking for the password (WEP key) and i entered it. It showed connected with the router but Safari does not work and when i check the DHCP entries in see the following
IP: 169.254.202.45
Sub: 255.255.0.0
This means that the connection was made but the router DHCP server did not assign an IP address to the iPod.
This exact problem i have encoutered so far in my office, a cofeeshop and a car dealership. In all cases the wirelles was based on an older linksys router and except in the case of my office the other two were unsecured networks.
I believe it has something to do with the firmware on those linksys routers causing a problem specificaly to iPods and i would guess iPhones too since they have the same OS.
I'm open to any suggestions but i've tried all the ones posted in this and other forums so far with no luck.
When i assign a static IP, the iPod again connects, the router log indicates outgoing traffic from that IP but there is no incomming traffic.

Student deal: macbook pro with new ipod touch facetime????

Hi I see that the new ipod touch with facetime is on the apple web page.
On education store, it says I can buy any apod and mac and apple will refund 219 CAD (Canadian store).
Is this deal works for the new ipod touch? I don't need mac immidiately but I can buy it if the new touch is free. From terms, it says any ipod but rebate form is old, and does not include new models.
PS: I can buy the new ipod touch and mac book but if I buy mac first they redirect me to old ipod page. Crap.
Any one knows?

Hi
I am refering to these pages:
Click on Learn more about iPod touch on the following page. Tou will see the new touch page. I see that they write "qualifying ipod" in rebate form.
*Buy a qualifying Mac and iPod with Apple education pricing from May 25, 2010, through September 7, 2010, and receive a mail-in rebate up to $219. 8GB iPod touch is second generation.
That is bad that they introduce this during the promotion and doesn't give it to current students. Actually they give any ipod except these new ones.
I would buy the mac book but I guess I will wait another year.

Thank you.

14 yr old with new iPod touch, is there software to track internet & chat

Hello all,
I have a 14 year old with a new iPod touch, is there an application to track/log facebook/chat. Even if it is an application that will dump data from iPod to my email. Not sure what is available. Thank you so much.

Hi,
There are a couple parental controls apps like a browser called "K9 Web Protection Browser," and stuff like that. But it only blocks images and stuff like that. If you go into Settings>General>Restrictions you can block Safari altogether. But I don't think any of these answer your question.
Hope this helps anyway!

Can't sync music with new iPod Touch. Help!

I recently received a new iPod Touch for Christmas. However, last night, my moniter on my computer stopped working. So, until I was able to purchase a new one, I simply hooked up and old moniter to my hard drive so I could use my computer.
This moniter is very old, and considerably smaller than my other one, but I thought that it would work just fine. But today, I went to register my new ipod, and the registration screen on itunes was way too small. I could only see about three fourths of the page. I was unable to see and press certain buttons that I would need to in order to register my ipod and sync my music.
So, I went on the iTunes website and went ahead and registered my ipod there. Now, when I plugged in my ipod again, it was still asking me to register it on itunes, but I can't because of my screen. and I can't scroll left or right, because there isn't even a scroll bar.
My ipod is already registered, but now, does anyone know how I can skip the itunes registering process so I can just go ahead and get my music?
Thanks!

Yes, I did that. But my screen is too small, so when it comes to the Terms and Conditions page, the only options I can see are Cancel and Save.
I already registered the iPod on the iTunes website. Can I go ahead and sync my music now? Or must I go through a registration process on the iTunes program in order to get my music?

Problem with new IPod Touch - connecting to computer

Just bought an IPod touch 2nd generation and plugged it into my computer to charge and to set up. I got a "found new hardware-Ipod" message and then the "found new hardware wizard" screen came up asking me for an installation CD or floppy to install software. I already have iTunes installed (the newest version) as have used it before with an Ipod nano. I have tried plugging the ipod into different USB ports on the computer but no avail.
Could anyone help me with this problem as am desperate to use my new Touch?
Thanks

All was well with my 2nd Generation Itouch until I downloaded Itunes 8.2. then ol boy what problems I have had! As follows:
1) Itunes cannot detect my device, therefore, no syncing is possible
2) Cannot connect to the Itunes Store....error indicates I have problems with my network connection (error code 3221), although I am connected and I have not previously had a problem.
I have searched for possible resolutions and have:
(a) Uninstalled Itunes and reinstalled .... NO GOOD
(b) Reset the network settings on the Itouch .... NO GOOD
(c) Reset all settings ... NO GOOD
(d) Ensured that the Apple mobile device option are okay
etc etc. In fact, I have done everything possible that has been indicated on the various websites. I should confirm that my computer recognises my Itouch BEFORE I access Itunes.
Please help.

I cant connect to WiFi on my iPod Touch 1G?

I have had an iPod Touch 1G for quite some time now, but I recently upgraded the iOS firmware to 3.1.3, and I just noticed that I cant connect to wifi! Nothing is grayed out, but it cannot find any connections. Ive tried resetting my router and wifi settings, but that diddnt seem to work either.

So it is not this problem:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Teh try:
Does the iPod connect to other networks? (noit clear if you have access to more than one)
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:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

WiFi on New iPod Touch Timeout

My brand new ipod times out every ten min or so and drops the wifi connection. This really ***** because that means I do not get my email or messages. Sort of makes the device an expensive desk weight. Does anyone know of an app for 4.2 or a workaround? Will Apple please fix this?

It could be that your router is dropping the connection because of inactivity or the lease time is set to expire too soon. Drag out your router manual and carefully check the settings - especially those having to do with lease length.
