Help... iPod Touch wifi conflict with MacBook Pro?

Experiencing intermittent (wifi access) conflict between iPod Touch (2G) and MacBook Pro (2010).
If the MacBook Pro connects with the internet via our home-office wifi network, subsequent efforts to connect with our iPod Touch do not work. The iPod [shows] the network, indicates a connection, but there are no bars. Additionally, the iPod's semi-connection will disappear and reappear repeatedly.
However, if the IPod Touch is first or only device to connect, then there are no difficulties; and it's connection does not impede that of the MacBook Pro.
Have tried shutting down all devices, rebooting the router, etc. At times, and at best, this provides only a momentary resolution.
Your advice appreciated.

I can't sync my iPod touch 1st generation with macbook pro

I can't sync my ipod touch 1st generation with macbook pro.
It recognises that its my ipod and says sync completed but there is no music or content on the ipod from my itunes library.

Thanks Chris. Have tried this but does not work. I restored the ipod touch to original settings and erased all data a few weeks ago too as thought this would help but it hasn't. Any advice?

HT1386 I am trying to sync my iPod Touches calendar to my MacBook Pro calendar. I have been successful at syncing the events from my MacBook Pro's iCal to the iPod but haven't been able to sync the events from my iPod to my MacBook Pro. Is this possible?

I have an iPod touch that I often use to manage different events for work. I have been able to sync the events on my calendar from my MacBook Pro to the iPod touch successfully using wifi. What I really need to do though is sync my iPod calendar events to my MacBook Pro calendar. Is this possible? How do I set this up? It would be a huge help if I could transfer the events on my iPod calendar to my computers calendar. I currently have the wifi sync option on and have turned on the sync calendars option in iTunes. Thank you for your help!

How do I transfer my songs from my iPod Touch to my new MacBook Pro?

Okay so I have read many similar questions, but I have not found any that share my exact problem. I got an iPod Touch for Christmas and bought songs from the iTunes app it has, NOT FROM A PREVIOUS COMPUTER. I have boughten 83 songs so far. Now I just got the new MacBook Pro for graduation and haven't touched the iTunes on this computer. It is all set up through the same Apple ID. So again, all 83 songs that I have on my iPod did NOT come from a previous computer, they all have been bought through iTunes on the iPod Touch, how do I get those songs on my new computer? Thank you!
P.S. OH! I also just got the Time Capsule (2TB), so I am not sure if that would solve my problem.

This is answered often.
open itunes, connect ipod, click File>Transfer Purchases

IPod touch library to new MacBook Pro

Previous computer was stolen so I do not have access to it. My iPod touch has over 1,000 songs, only some of which were purchased on iTunes. Does anyone know how I can get my ENTIRE iPod touch library into my new MacBook Pro iTunes library? Thanks for your suggestions.

Issues with creating a wifi hotspot with Macbook Pro

Hello. I am staying in a hotel with others for an extended period of time. There is only one ethernet port. I have previously used the ethernet via internet sharing to turn my macbook pro into a wifi hotspot. I went through the steps this time (checked, double-checked, and triple-checked via various websites), and though my computer says that it is broadcasting, AND all the other devices (iPhones, other laptops) can see and connect to the network, no internet seems to be coming through the broadcasted connection.
What I mean is, the network exists, and when others connect it shows full signal in their airports, etc, but they still can't connect to the internet. Pages won't load, my iphone tells me that it's "not connected to the internet" even though it has full wifi bars. Is there some important step that I'm missing? I am running Snow Leopard.
When I did this before, I feel like there was some other strange option I either had to enable or disable, but that was a long time ago and I can't recall. Right now, I just go into internet sharing, set "ethernet" as broadcasted from, and "airport" as broadcasted to, then I name the network and click "Start" and everything seems to work, except for the not actually being connected. Can anybody explain this?

I can indeed get on with just my Mac, as can my roommate (he also has a Macbook Pro). I have not tried turning off my firewall. That may do it. However, I do not know how to turn off my firewall. I could just google it, but I figure I'll ask y'all anyway.

IPhone 4S not wifi syncing with Macbook Pro (2010, Mountain Lion)

Subject pretty much says it all: I can't get my iphone 4S to wifi sync with my Macbook Pro (2010, running Mountain Lion). All relevant pieces have been updated (latest OS on laptop and device, latest iTunes, etc.). wifi sync did work at some point but now simply won't; the device does not show up in iTunes, and trying to manually start a sync from the device just leave it looking for my laptop forever.
A little Google digging did make reference to trying to kill "AppleMobileDeviceHelper" and restarting iTunes. I have noticed that AppleMobileDeviceHelper is not running...should it be? I've even tried manually starting it and it doesn't seem to work. I dug through Console looking for references to it in logs and didn't find anything.
Any suggestions/ideas appreciated.
Thanks.

I plug my iPod touch into my new macbook pro and the iPod icon shows up in iTunes, but does not show up anywhere in the finder or on my desktop...?

I need to transfer the music off of my ipod onto my mac but i cannot do that when my macbook will not recognize my ipod touch in the finder.

This is correct. It will not show in finder. It is not an external storage device.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases. Open itunes connect ipod, do not sync, click File>Transfer Purchases

Wifi roaming with macbook pro broken

Hi,
I recently installed a new Time Capsule and extend the network using another Airport Express (1st generation) using an Ethernet cable. I used the new Airport Utility assistant that auto-configured everything. My iPhone and iPad are able to roam without problem (they pick the base station with the strongest signal). However, my MacBook Pro 2009 or my MacBook Air 2010 are not able to roam: they will stick with the network they are on even if that network signal drops to almost 0. Both base stations are configured with the same security WPA2. MacBook Pro on Mountain Lion and MacBook Air on Lion.
Does anyone know what's going on? Any other user experiencing this problem?
Thanks!
Jean

I have tried various troubleshooting ideas ppl post on line but nothing has worked to date.
Other than what you already posted? Need those details too.
Have you tried any of these?

Unlock the padlock
Locations: Automatic
Highlight Airport
Click the Assist Me button
In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
No internet connection (wireless)
Check to see if an extra entry is present in the DNS Tab for your wireless connection (System Preferences/Network/Airport/Advanced/DNS).
Delete all extra entries that you find.
Click on the Airport tab.
Delete all preferred networks except yours.
Place a check mark next to *"Remember networks this computer has joined."*

Wifi issues with Macbook Pro

Would really appreciate some help!!
Recently my laptop keeps disconnecting from my home wifi network every five minutes or so! The wifi icon greys out and I have to constantly reconnect to my network. Any one else encountered this problem and have a solution?! Thank you!!

I have had a similiar issue - my Airport Express (3) get that blinking amber light. I've done the paper clip reset thing; I've rebooted my MBP. I've tried re-establishing connection via Airport Utility and Network Prefs, unable to re-establish the home network that has been stable for years.
Interestingly, I can get two of the AExpress (used to extend home network) to work, but not the third. I've reposititioned that unit, and still can't get them all to work. Regrettably, the Genious I saw was not helpful.
Anybody else?

Boot into single-user mode. After startup is completed you will be in command line mode and should see a prompt with a cursor positioned after it. At the prompt enter the following then press RETURN:
/sbin/fsck -fy
If you receive a message that says "***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****" then re-run the command until you receive a message that says "** The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OK." If you re-run the command more than seven times and do not get the OK message, then the drive cannot be repaired this way. If you were successful then enter:
reboot
and press RETURN to restart the computer.
There is no guarantee this will fix the problem. Normally you must boot from another drive in order to repair the startup volume. If you can't use a Snow Leopard DVD then you would need to use some other bootable device like a backup drive or another Mac connected via Firewire - Target Disk Mode.

Why can't I sync iPod touch calendar with macbook pro any more with latest OS X?

since most recent software update with my macbook pro, contacts, calendar no longer syncs when I connect ipod touch with macbook pro. hate the cloud and want to stay "old fashioned". how can I?

If you have Mavericks the only way to sync those items is via iCloud.
If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.
