Having problems connecting 4TH Gen Ipod to home wifi!, Help please.

Okay so basically my Ipod will connect to any wifi connection, except my home wifi. It use to connect just fine, but for some reason it won't connect anymore. When I go to select my wifi, it shows & I tap on it, then a check mark appears, then a couple mins later the wifi symbol in the top right shows up. Even though it says it's connected it wont let me get on safari or anything, basically acting like it's not connected. I have a linkys router, & it's a unsecured network, & my laptop connects to it just fine, if that helps any. PLEAASEEE help me

White Lock Screen Problem On 4th Gen. iPod Touch.

I'm having an EXTREMELY fustrating problem with my 4th gen iPod touch (32gb). I have owned my iPod Touch for almost a year and a half now and I haven't had any problems with it until now. I updated to the new iOS 6 and didn't have any problems with it for about two weeks. But after the two week mark, I started having a white screen on my lock screen. I would press the sleep/wake button to make it lock again and pressed it to turn the screen back on and it would go away, (so that's when I thought, "eh, minor glitch, they'll fix it...). But it has been a month now and it has gotten SO much worse it's not even funny... I will have to compromise with pushing the sleep/wake button about 30 times before it will show my lock screen. But after I got it unlocked everything worked absolutley flawless. Now ever since last night I can't get the white screen to go away!!! keep in mind, I have restored it TWICE and still have the same problem. I know I am buying the new iPod Touch but I still think, even though I am out of the yearly warranty, that I should get either an apple 'fixer' to fix it for me for free or an exchange for either the same exact model iPod or the new 5th gen. I never have had such a problem with Apple until now and would expect paying $300 for a brand-new iPod Touch should last me atleast more than a lowsey year and a half...

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost

Problems connecting powerbook to ipod touch through wifi

Hi,
I searched for previous posts but couldn't find a solutuion. I have been using the high speed internet from my powerbook to connect to my iPod Touch through wifi to be able to use the internet on my ipod close to my computer.
I have been using the advise of "mrtotes" on another apple discussion. I copied the URL and the part of the discussion that I use.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1240824
"Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions,
OS X's IP firewall is probably blocking incoming Port 80 requests (i.e. web traffic).
Go to  menu > System Preferences... > Sharing > and under Services check "Web Sharing".
I assume you already have switched on Internet Sharing on the Internet section under Services on the Sharing pane and are "Sharing your connection from": "Built-in Ethernet". To computers using "Airport".
To secure the connection (recommended) go to  menu > System Preferences... > Sharing > Internet section. Click on "Airport Options..." and check "Enable encryption (using WEP)". Then enter a password twice. Users will need to enter this password to share your connection, although you should be aware even 128bit WEP isn't all that secure.
cheers
mrtotes"
I have been using these instructions successfully to connect my ipod to my powerbook for several months but now it has stopped working. When I get to System preferences>sharing>interenet and I select "Share yur connection from: Built-in ethernet", the only opions I have for "To computers using:_______" are "Built-in Ethernet" and "buildt-in Firewire" nothing about airport. Also at the bottom of the sharing window the "Airport Options" is greyed out and I can't select it. So I went to system preferences>network and my airport is listed but "Airport is currently off" So I click "Connect..." and the "Internet connect" window opens to the "airport" tab. "Airport Power: Off" and everything is greyed out so I can't select anything. And at the bottom of the window. "Status: No Airport Hardware found". So I went to the system profiler clicked on "network" on the left hand side, then clicked on "Airport" at the top right under "active services" and then looked a the information on the lower right side of the window:
AirPort:
Type: AirPort
Hardware: AirPort
BSD Device Name: en1
IPv4:
Configuration Method: DHCP
IPv6:
Configuration Method: Automatic
Proxies:
Proxy Configuration Method: Manual
ExcludeSimpleHostnames: 0
FTP Passive Mode: Yes
Auto Discovery Enabled: No
Strangely, If instead of clicking on "Network" on the left side, I open up the drop down list under "network" (i.e. Airport card, firewiall, locations, modems, volumes) and click on "airport Card", I'm told "no information found"
Any solutions?

Having problems with 4th generation iPod Nano. Desperate.

I'm having this problem with my 4th generation iPod Nano. Whenever the iPod is connected to iTunes I get message saying "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod “IPOD”. Go to the Summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings." However, I have music on the iPod that is purchased through different accounts on different computers (some of which are no longer existent) meaning I can't afford to restore and lose my music. Is there any way I can recover my music without having to restore the iPod?

sorry, 5th gen. 30gb w video

Having problems syncing 1st gen Ipod nano.

I have a 1st gen Ipod nano (i'm pretty sure it's a 1st gen) that I gave to my mother because I got an Ipod touch. She has her own Itunes accout on her own computer and is trying to connect my old Ipod to her computer/itunes so she can use it and download her music. The problem is the sync function is not working. It will not highlight and stays grey and unable to sync. So can anyone help? I thought I was being nice giving her my Ipod nano for her to use but it's no good is she's stuck with my music and can't put her own on.

Your mother will have to restore (wipe it out) the iPod Nano. After doing that, she will be able to sync her own music.

Physical problem connecting 2nd gen. iPod

I have a 2nd generation iPod from April (or March) 2003 -- yeah, I made my purchase about a month early! Well, it was great for well over five years. But at the end of 2008, I began to have problems getting it to connect. When I would plug in the Firewire cable, the iPod might go into disk mode (and begin charging), but the check mark wouldn't go away. The only way I could get it to connect was to apply pressure to the plug. Then I would have to hold it in until the iPod ejected.
I acquired a new iPod (a "Classic"), so it's not a big deal if I can't resolve the problem the older one is having, but I'm curious and would like to see if the firmware is as up-to-date as it can get and if iTunes 8.1.1 does any better transferring data to the older iPod than it does with the Classic. Just "scientific" experimentation, I guess.
The problem is that I've edited a lot of music since I last synced the old iPod and I don't wish to stand still and hold the firewire plug in that long. And if I let go, the computer will stop seeing it. Is there any way I can gently pull the port back in place? (The sound quality of the headphone jack is iffy, too.)

Kenichi Watanabe wrote:
The problem you describe just sounds like the FireWire port on the iPod is worn out or the soldered connections to the logic board are not fully secure.
One thing you should try is to use another (newer) FireWire 400 cable. There is nothing special about the original thin cable that came with the iPod. So hopefully, the connector that is worn and not connecting properly is on the cable side. Or perhaps a less used cable will connect better with a somewhat worn FireWire connector on the iPod.
If the problem is the connection between the iPod's FireWire port and the logic board, then it will be difficult to repair.
Thank you for your response.
It's not a big deal, as I'm happy with my iPod Classic and the better range of accessories I can use with it, save the fact that iTunes tends to corrupt files as it transfers them. I've already tried two different FireWire cables -- the original, thin, one, and a thicker one -- but while either will charge the iPod and put it into disk mode, neither allows the computer to recognize the iPod unless I press down. I was hoping I could use needle-nose pliers to try to pull the iPod's port back up without damaging the connectors.
(I'm might try it, anyway, considering I don't really need it.)

Problems Syncing 4th Gen. iPod Touch + Mac Mini 1.5 Ghz G4

Can the iPod Touch sync with this old of a Mac Mini. I'm having problems syncing my daughters new iPod Touch with her Mac Mini 1.5 Ghz PowerPC G4. The message "iPod Touch requires Mac OS X 10.5.8" appears. I can't get the OS to update past 10.4 Is there a work around???

No, there is no way around this. Sorry.
From the box the ipod came in and Apples website:
"System requirements
USB 2.0
iTunes 10.1 or later6
Mac: Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional (SP3) or later

I was having problems connecting to my internet at home with my 4s. I tried many of the suggestions. Nothing worked. I did not want to sit on the phone with apple etc trying to fix it. I bought a router extender. It worked like a charm.

I just want to let those of you who have problems connecting to home internet. I had same problem with my 4s iphone and tried many of the suggestions here as well as on the internet. Then I found something called an internet extender. Bought it and worked like a charm. It was worth the $60 I paid. No more hours of trying to figure it out. I don't know if this will work for anyone else with this problem but if it helps you I'm happy

I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort Express base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the Express; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has initialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the Express will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options.
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the Express from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the Express. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the Express to the Internet broadband modem. For the 2nd generation Express, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.

I downloaded the IOS6 update and now it wont connect to my home wifi HELP PLEASE!

I downloaded the new update and now it wont conect me to my home Wifi PLEASE HELP! when i click to connect with my wifi it brings up this apple page saying" try another search the page i searched for cannot be found" idk what to do!

Have you tried starting FF in safe mode and then disabling all add-ons and extensions?
Then restart the browser enabling each add-on one by one. I did this and found that Stumbleupon toolbar was the problem for me as my browser was freezing as soon as I started it and going into not responding but with this currently disabled the browser works fine. Just hope there is an update for Stumble soon.

Problem connecting Tab A8 (A5500) to home wifi router

Hi, Would be much obliged to a hint to solve the problem. Brand new device. Worked for a week or so with my home router, yet has lost the network connection at one day and can't get connected anymore. The tablet connects though to other wlans: mobile-based hotspot or open public networks. Tablet SW: A5500_A442_000_029_150324_ROWRouter : WPA/WPA2-PSK, WPS enabled, b/g/n protocols enabled, 2.4 and 5 MHz on. Pls do not advice me to re-configure the router.

Having problems with my new iPod touch can you help me a first time user?

I cannot locate my photos in the iTunes library, I have no problem with the Music entry, is there something I have to do to create a library entry?
Also I do not get the photo folders only the individual photos in one large file (3500+) good quality but not good for specific look up, again is there anything I need to do to have folder organization?
I'd appreciate any help that I can get, and would thank any particant in advance

Hi Kappy. I have located the photo files from the sync to my ipod, by the way I am a Windows XP user, and what is showing is a file called 'ipod Photo Cache' which contains folders which have the photo conversions of what is in my 'My Pictures' folder, this cache folder follows at the end of my photo library content.
The cache folder files have an extension of .thumb these are conversions for the ipod and appear to change when I delete or modify any photo in my library and to further complicate things these photos (.JPG format) have an intermediate conversion to a (.cpt format)which are contained within my photo library folders. None of this bothers me since I have my photos on the ipod which is of great value to me.
Thanks for your efforts on my behalf, I will now let this rest and proceed to other new challenges in the ipod world.

Having problems with brand new battery installed...Help please!

Here's my problem. I just recently replaced the battery on my 13" Macbook. The brand new battery ordered from Apple arrived on Saturday and up until last night everything was great. Now all of a sudden the computer is doing the same things it did with the old battery. I am getting the green light on the MagSafe Adapter even though the battery is not fully charged. I am also alternating between "Not Charging" on the battery icon and a "X" on the icon.
I did some reading and tried resetting the PRAM and SMC. I even uninstalled Leopard and reinstalled Tiger (updating everything afterwards), thinking maybe it was a software issue. (I just recently installed Leopard and hoped it was just a bad install.) None of that really seems to work.
There is one slight exception- the SMC reset. After I do the SMC reset I get the amber light from the adapter, the icon shows charging and all is well for about 15 to 30 minutes. Then I am back at square one.
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or ideas on what could be going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

It seems like you have eliminated all the easy fixes for your problem - what is left is the computer itself. Call Apple (800-275-2273) and explain the troubleshooting you have already done. They should set up a repair for your computer. If it is out of warranty you may have to pay for the repair.
Best of luck.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

New 4th gen ipod won't connect to internet

My sister just bought a new 4th gen ipod touch today. Everything works fine with it except for the internet. Now I own a 2nd gen ipod touch and my internet connection works just fine. Why doesn't hers work? I've tried turning the wifi on and off, and turning the airplane mode on and off as well. Our wifi only works through our computer modem. Is the ipod just not picking up the modem's signal or is something wrong with her ipod?

- Does the SSID of your router show up in the list of networks available on the 4G iPod?
- Have you tried resetting th 4G iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- If SSID still does not show up on the 4G but does show on and the 2G iPod then I would first restore the iPod from backup. If still problems then restore the iPd to factory defaults.new iPOd
- If still not SSID then you likely have a defective iPOd and should make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store or you could call AppleCare.
