Facetime will not log in?! - New ipod - Help!

I can not figure out for the life of me why facetime will not activate! I have successfully set up a apple id and am logged into that fine...but when I click facetime on new ipod touch it keeps giving me message: "can not sign in please check your network connection and try again"
But that makes no sense...Apple ID is fine and I have strong wifi where I am. I am surfing web just fine...but facetime will not activate. What can I do??
Thanks in advance!!

It sounds reasonable to me. However, it is clear that you do not like the answer.
At this point your alternatives seem to be:
• try again later or
• trade your iPod for a device that works the way you want.
I'll try again later but thought many more of you could use this info ...
Wise choice. Thanks for sharing the server load info. I expect it will help others.
Cheers,
Jim

TA44551 my i pod classic will play works great! in a dock but will not charge ( after new battery ) HELP !!!

I have an older Ipod classic it plays on everything i have . Recently replaced the battery because it would not take charg .After new battery it plays through several defferent devices but it will not CHARG !!!    HELP!!!!

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Also:
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.

ITunes purchases will not play on new iPod

I have purchased a new 60 gb video iPod to replace the one I just lost on the freeway (motorcycle). My last one played
my iTunes purchases fine, but my new one will not. They are skipped over. I see the song name but then it skips to the next song. My regular mp3s play fine.
I have an Audible account through iTunes and my Audible purchases play fine. I tried
(http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303854):
* Restoring and updating the OS in my iPod
* Deauthorize and reauthorize my account in iTunes.
* Recreate the iTunes Library
I also tried this from the page (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1770668??)
The iPod sometimes forgets it is authorized to play the songs.
If this happens;
1 - Quit iTunes
2 - Restart iTunes
3 - Open the iTMS and log in
4 - Play a purchased song
5 - Resync the iPod)
Can someone please help me? I have purchased many songs in iTunes and I'd like to play them. One thing in that last solution mentions playing a purchased song while logged into the store. Does that mean through my "Purchased" area or somewhere else?
Finally, since my iPod serial number is registered under the same apple ID as my iTunes account, why can't it check that way?
Thanks!

I meant to mention that I bought a new song from iTunes since getting the new iPod hooked up as a 'test' and it will not play either. I thought possibly the older purchases were associated with the other player...
Thanks

It may be the encryption method your router is using. I know that an iPod will not connect to a router that is using simple WEP encryption. Make sure you are using some form of WPA.

Windows or iTunes will not recognise my new ipod...

Hi,
Looking for some help here! Tried all the iTunes help tips and cannot seem to get anywhere.
I have a new 80gig iPod, and am trying to use it on my laptop through XP. I have already an older 3rd generation 20gig player which I have been using fine, but now I cannot get the new software/pc to recognise the new iPod.
Am I missing something majorly obvious - is there a way to get it to 'unrecognise' my old one and only the new?
I have previously had no problems using multiple iPods on this machine.
Any help greatfully received before I go out of my mind!!
Thanks and Happy New Year, Karl

try the following steps, but if ipod is still not being recognized try a different computer

Music will not play on new iPod touch (5th gen.)

Some music will not play on my brand new (5th gen.) iPod touch. I see a "play" arrow blinking next to the battery icon. Any clues on what the problem is?

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music amd resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Itunes will not recognize my new Ipod Nano

It will charge but my computer says a driver needs to be installed but it cannot find it and iTunes does not recognize it at all. Any help?

Okay. Maybe they're looking for the usbaapl.sys driver as well.
Try to bring the Hardware wizard up again. This time browse to:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
... and select the usbaapl.sys file.
Any better luck with that one?

My ipod 5.1.1 (9B206) will not sync with new Itunes version 12.0.1.26. Can anyone help

My ipod touch 3rd generation OS 5.1.1 (9B206) will not sync with new Itunes version 12.0.1.26. Can anyone help

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Try syncing using the manual method
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
If iTunes does not see the iPod:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
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

My ipod nano gen 4 will not sync the new episodes of a video podcast. HELP!!!

My ipod nano gen 4 will not sync the new episodes of a video podcast. I could download the first half of the episodes. Help! I really like them. It says "it can't be played on this device." Many other podcasts are doing the same thing. Is my ipod too old?

IPod will not sync to newer computer

Friends,
I have a perplexing problem. I am moving my computers around. I always move the faster one up to the office while the older one goes to another room. Currently I have the iPod synced to a MAC 450 GHz G4 computer. I wanted to move the iTunes and sync to my faster computer. ...I have a G4 dual 1GHz MDD. I inserted my pod into the dock and it requested that I sync to the iTunes new computer. This required that the iPod be erased. I have already moved the library to the new G4 1GHz via DVD discs as per the instructions for moving to a new computer. However, within about 4 minutes as it was writing the tunes to the ipod, a dialogue box popped up and said " Attempting to copy to the disk "my name" iPod failed. The Disk could not be read from or written to." I checked the iPod drive via disc utilities. Everything is fine. The iPod mounts with no problem. I even purchased music that the library disc is on ( I keep a separate drive for the library) every thing is good. I updated my OS (10.4.11 and the iTunes is 7.6.1 (9) For some odd reason my 1 Ghz MAC will not sync to the iPod. I then tried the ipod on the old G4 450 GHz and it re syncd...... no problem. Any suggestions ??? Trouble is .. in order to test it ..... you gotta see if it will write all your tunes.. I really want my 1 GHz to be the main "sync" one.
Second problem, but not as serious... every time I insert my pod into the dock, BOTH MACs tell me that I should use 2.0 USB and connect the dock to the back of the computer. IT is connected to the back of the computer!!!!!
Mike

Did you download the ne iTunes?(i think its 11)
If that's the case then you need to go to "music" and select that you want to sync your music.
Hope that helps.

My 160GB ipod classic stopped whilst playing music and will not turn back on despite having almost a full battery. I have tried connecting to itunes and a docking station but will not turn on at all - HELP?!
I've had this from new for 2 years, the battery life is excellent and lasts for days so I know it's not a power issue as it was fully charged that morning. No signs of connection in itunes, it's not showing as a connected device.
Can anyone please help?
