Having a problem with the WiFI and the touch

Hi guys
First of all, I´d like to say that Im kinda an Apple rookie - this is my first ever Apple product ever, so I my knowledge is somewhere really low...
well, here goes... Happily i bought my new iPod in january stoked about all the cool features such as wifi, videos and so on. So there I was in a really good mood when I first got it up and running and found my 1st hotspot. (I had also bought the january software upgrade for mail and stuff) So then I tried loading a page in Safari and it gives me the message "Server cannot be found" - or something like that, you know - oh well I think, and try to open one of the other programs, but neither of those works... And yeah, Ive tried several networks but same results no matter where.
So, folks, do you have any idea of what could help me? Any help is appreciated!
by the way, in these months im housed in Ecuador - if that changes anything.
Thanks

Sometimes shutting the ipod down and restarting within the Wi-Fi hotspot works. (holding the on/off button for 5 seconds...)
Other times, i have found I had to go into the network settings on the ipod and toggle the DHCP settings a few times, or telling it to "Forget This Network" which will allow it to try to re-address itself on the network.
There are also some Wi-Fi hotspots that have wireless routers that are not so Mac-friendly... these will sometimes not provide an automatic IP address and must be manually changed to a static IP. If you can look at somebody else's laptop IP settings, usually you can manually configure the iPod touch to work with a fixed IP address that is a similar range to the laptops....
hope this helps.

    Your battery is running quickly because your cellular data connection is weak.

  • HT4060 I'm having some problems with my ipad and charging it. I am having to leave it in charge for a lot longer, but when I take it out and want to use it the battery is still not completely full and goes down a lot faster than usual

    I'm having some problems with my ipad and charging it. I am having to leave it in charge for a lot longer, but when I take it out and want to use it the battery is still not completely full and goes down a lot faster than usual. The other day, I had charged  my iPad overnight so that I could take it to university with me for the day, and when I had switched it on the next day the battery was on 5% and I had not used it since charge.

    Your battery may be dying. THey are only good for so many charges/discharges. If you have an apple store near by make an appointment and have them check itout

  • Hi i have i problem with my iphone and the problem is the security question i have forgot the answers

    Hi i have i problem with my iphone and the problem is the security question i have forgot the answers
    I understand German and Italian i littlebit English

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • I have a problem with HP ToolboxFX and the encountered an error and can not recover error msg.

    Restarting the software and/or the computer do not fix the error.  I have installed the new firmware in my CP2025dn Color Laser it now has version 20110212 firmware.  The error msg reports: windows version Win32NT-6.0.6002.131072 and HP Toolbox FX version 004.012.00146.  I am running the printer on my wireless router.  My computer is a Dell Studio with Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 - 64 bit OS.  My wife's older laptop with WIN XP is not having a problem with Toolbox.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Toolbox on my computer today also.  Where do I look next?  Thank you!!!

    I am not too sure if thats a virus or trojan.. I always thought that macs didn't get virus? this looks like one to me… any experts around? please help me fix it with your instructions? really don't know what to do... thanks

    Those are not viruses. You have probably installed some malware:
    The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:
              Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
              OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              About file quarantine in OS X
    If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using Dr.Web Light from the App Store. It's free, and since it's from the App Store, it won't destabilize the system. If you prefer one of the better known commercial products, then Thomas recommends using Sophos.(Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.) If you already use Sophos, then be aware of this if you are using Mavericks: OS X Mavericks- Sophos Anti-Virus on-access scanner versions 8.0 - 9.1 may cause unexpected restarts
    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
         is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

  • Problems with 8220 WiFi and battery

    I'm not sure if these 2 problems are related. I've had a 8220 for 11 months and notice my battery life has really deteriorated the last few days. at the same time accessing WiFi from my phone is not as reliable. I know there is no problem with my Wifi as I have no problem accessing it from my laptop from the same connection.
    Is this problem related to my battery? or are there other ways to improve WiFi connections from my 8220.
    thanks

    I had exactly the same problem with WiFi calls (see my old posts on dropped calls).  I tested my phone in another WiFi location (in a coffee shop) and didn't have problems.  Even though my computer recognized the signal, my phone dropped the calls.  I changed my router and verified that all phones jacks (except the router) were using DSL filters.  Since then, the problem disappeared (except when I synch music).
    When outside, the phone will periodically drop calls moving between WiFi and edge networks.  However, I usually turn off the WiFi network anyway to conserve batteries.  While at home, the WiFi connection is more reliable if I turn off the edge network so the phone stays on WiFi and doesn't look for another network.  By default, I set my preferences to WiFi at home, so even if I forget to turn off the edge network, it still looks for WiFi.

  • Anyone having printer problems with adobe cs5 and mountain lion

    I can print one copy in adobe cs5 but if I hit the print button it shuts down the program.  Anyone having this problem besides me?

    Are the drivers for your printer are up to date? You probably can print one copy cause it doesn't access the option window in your application.
