Has anyone ever returned an iPod Touch?  I am thinking about doing this

mine was a gift, and I know it was purchased at a store (not an Apple Store).  Do I need to return it to the store or do I return it to Apple directly?  Probably the store, because Apple isn't going to refund me my money.  I am sorry to say after having this for 3 days, and after all of my excitement of getting it, I am terribly disappointed, all because of the Wi-fi issues.  Not staying connected is not letting me even play with half the features that this has that my old Classic iPod does not.  It really isn't much more fun than my Classic without being able to use Wi-fi!

Wifi Issue:  I got the iPod Touch on Monday, and got it hooked up to my home wifi network, but couldn't access the Internet or YouTube or Facebook. 
then on Tuesday I finally got it connected and last night I was watching Youtube, and checking Facebook and loving it.  I had to restore the whole iPod and start all over.
Then today (Wednesday) my iPod shows I have a strong WiFi connection in my house, appears that everything is in working order, other devices in the house are connecting with the network, but I cannot access youtube, facebook, etc.  I did unplug my router, turn off of the iPod by holding the home button and on/off button until the apple showed up, I reset the network settings, changed them even to WPA....and all I get is a symbol that says I have WiFi connection, but can't connect to anything.  I did not try to completely restore the whole thing again today.  I thought about it, but if that is what it is going to require for me to get it running every day then forget it!  It isn't worth my time!  I am just sadly disappointed.
Unless some miracle happens over the weekend or before then, I think I am going to return the gift that I was so long awaiting!  Just makes me sad.  But I am seeing so many other people having issues with the wifi connection.....frustrating!

    I suspect you have the original, 1G iPod touch. Those can only go as high as iOS 3.1.3,
    If y ohave a 2G those can go as high as 4.2.1
    Identifying iPod models
    To update
    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.

  • Has anyone had to restore ipod touch 5g

    i bought a blue ipod touch 5g 64gb on november 30th on ebay brand new sealed in box and got it on december 3rd.  i have reset it to factory settings atleast 3 times because after putting some songs on it and after a few days i go to play a particular song and it would play another song instead hence me resetting it to factory settings and this was after updating it to ios 7.0.4 when i had to reset one time a patch to the ios was downloaded to fix that issue and i had to reset it last night i am just wondering. my laptop runs windows 7 an my all in one desktop runs windows 8.1.  when i first reset it to factory settings i used my laptop but now i use my desktop due to it having a larger hd capacity

    well, it would be with all the songs that i have on the ipod touch at that time, but i haven't had any syncing issues yet with ios 7 i think the syncing and with the wrong song playing might both be related to ios 7, but what i'll do is redownload all of the songs that i have in icloud plus reimport the other songs as well just in case

  • Okay friends seriously- has anyone ever restored their iPod?

    I'm going on almost an hour of my iPod restoring itself to factory settings. Im thinking that something is wrong because the status has said "waiting" for about an hour.

    Well..I am kind of in the same boat. I just received the Black 80GB Video iPod. Now mind you, I have had an iPod before, so I am familiar with it all. But this one decided to corrupt itself within the 2 days I have had it. I am not sure what caused it, whether it be the latest version of iTunes (which I have read has some bugs) or something I loaded onto it (music, movies, tv shows, etc.). Who knows? What I do know is that it is constantly in the Do Not Disconnect screen with the round "NO" symbol above it. I have tried to reset it with and without connecting it to the computer. If it is not connected, it tells me in 4 different languages to connect it to the computer. And when I do it flashes DO NOT DISCONNECT and charges the battery. After awhile it freezes on that screen. I have tried to restore it.....on two different computers, different USB ports and I keep getting the same message. It will attempt to restore with the progess bar going back and forth...and depending where the IPOD is in it's frozen or unfrozen state, the computer eventually gives me the message The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error ocurred (1418). What the heck do I do. This all started when my iPod would not turn off. So I decided to hook it up to my computer to refresh it or something. But then I found out it is CORRUPT. How it got that way, I do not know. Any suggestions anyone? All I want to do is restore the **** thing so I can reload all my stuff back onto it. I am in Denver at the moment by the way...trying to get back to LA...so the suggestion of going to the Apple store will not fly at the moment. No pun intended. I am looking for a good ol' home remedy. There has to be something I can do. Anyone? Please.

    This has been an all day uphill battle by the way. Borderline Nuts at the moment.

  • Has anyone ever got there ipod screen Repaired for free

    I cracked my screen!!

    Some users have reported in the past that Apple exchanged their iPod at no cost because of a broken screen. However, I have not seen anyone posting that in about a year or so.

  • Has anyone ever ran Logic using VMWare Workstation on a Windows PC?

    Has anyone ever emulated Mac OS X and used Logic on their x86 Microsoft Windows systems? I was thinking about doing this to use some synths and stuff with some Windows designed software. I'm not sure if it is possible to use both operating systems at the same time with VMWare Workstation operating system emulator. Help me out guys. Has anyone ever done it? Can it be done?

    VMWare Workstation will not run the client version of Mac OS X in emulation, and likely won't run Mac OS X Server either.

    My screen has streched out real big and the touch screen is difficult to use and can't return the screen to normal size.Has anyone ever experienced this?

    Double-tap the screen with three fingers, then go to Settings and disable the Zoom function so you don't accidentally trigger it again.

    Has anyone ever seen this before?
    Can anyone help me out?
    thanks
    sorry if this is the wrong forum

    Well Tyler....I've seen something like your problem before, but i'm afraid i can't be of much help. I saw the problem because it happened to me before, and my iPod needed to be sent into Apple for repair, i believe they need to reconnect the hard drive on it....well hopefully someone here can help you out, because mine was a matter of being sent in.

  • Has anyone ever send your mac pro to repair?

    has anyone ever send your mac pro to repair?what's the process?do you need to provide the receipt?some rebate ask you to mail-in your receipt,will this affect the repair service?

    Hi,
    The main process for repairs are to go through either Apple Care on the phone, or take the computer to an Authorized Service Center, or see a "Genious" at a local Apple Retail Store. Apple Care will send you a box to send the computer in to them, and Authorized Service Center will repair the computer, or send it to all, the Apple Store will do teh same thing. They fix some things, while most of the time the computer gets sent to Apple. You only need to reciept if you are going to return or exchange the computer within the 14 exchange period. So even if your reciept is long gone, Apple will still fix the computer.
    If you don't mind me asking, whats wrong with your MacBook Pro? Hope this helps.

  • Has anyone ever SUCCESSFULLY gotten iTunes to back up library to disc?

    I've tried numerous times over different versions of iTunes, and I can NEVER get iTunes to back up my purchased library to disc.
    It offers to do it to DVD, to regular CD--- and nothing works. It spits the tray out, says to put in a blank CD and I do-- and it "checks Media" and never accomplishes anything. I'm starting to doubt the function even works and was put in there to make it look good.
    Has anyone ever successfully gotten the "Back Up Library to Disc" function to work?
    im running the latest version of iTunes.

    GOOD POINT. You cannot backup to an external hd. Who wants to use dvds OR cds for backup anyway? The whole reason for buying an ipod was to avoid these two optical disc nightmares and get with a hard disk management solution. itunes doesn't recognize external hard drives for backup. Ridiculous. Try using an ext hd as the itunes location for your music if you really want to see problems develop. Managing music instead of playing music has become my past time since I got into the ipod/ itunes mess. All I do is try to clean up it's messes. The software developers need to be accountable. Class action? No support, except forum, unless you want to pay.

  • Has anyone ever noticed?

    Has anyone ever noticed that random function on the iphone is not so random? I have this feeling that everytime I skip or go back it resets the random cycle and maybe 20 songs later the songs I heard maybe 2 hours are playing again.
    Like itunes is there a way to make it more random?

    I am using smart playlists and it does the same thing. It will still eventually repeat. The only time I get true random is when I play in alpanumerical order. The problem with that, I listen to music 14 hours a day 5 days week. Gets pretty predictible what song is coming up. My ipod did a better job at random but I used it so much that when in Random Mode it drains the battery faster and gets annoying charging it every 4 hours.

  • Can I return my Ipod touch 4th generation and get an Ipad, if my Ipod is still under warranty?

    Can I return my Ipod touch 4th generation and get an Ipad 2, if my ipod is still under warranty?

    The warranty doesn't cover that. Sell it and put the money towards a new device.
