Hooking up to UK wifi with european iPod

When travelling in Europe have no trouble hooking up to Wifi in cafes etc.
The last couple of times I was in England could not hook up to wifi at Starbucks or St. pancreas, for example.
Do the UK mobile phone/internet providers only allow people with UK accounts to access.
Have no problems with my MacBook, just the iPhone.
Any help appreciated!!

Perhaps you could start by telling us which iPod, which speaker system and exactly what does/doesn't happen?

Connecting to wifi with new ipod touch - is it posible??

I bought an iPod touch to bring travelling with me, both to carry music and to have access to wifi. I am now in Buenos Aires,unable to use the wifi feature (I don´t know if it´s ever worked as I don´t have wifi in my home and didn´t get chance to test it out anywhere else before I left the UK - stupid,I know)).It detects the network in a wifi zone but won´tlet me join,even if I have the right password etc.I know I´mprobably being an idiot about this but I´m finding it very frustrating.I don´t know if it could be related in any way, but there are also quite a few songs I bought on iTunes that look as though they are playing on the iPod,but don´t actually play with sound.Have I just got a dodgy gadget?

Maybe you should post this in the ipod touch forum.
This is the iphone forum.

Internet Sharing With an iPod Touch??

I've done a search and couldn't find anything. This might be better suited in a different forum but I'll try it here.
I've got two laptops. The first is a MacBook (Intel) and the other is a PowerBook (PPC).
I've been using the MacBook for all my work with my Touch. I do not have wireless at work so I use my MacBook and just share my internet via airport to get my Touch online. It's been working without any problems. For some reason my MacBook crashed earlier today (screen froze except with a message box that said I need to restart my Mac). No problem I shut it down and did some BS for work. I got back on it today and haven't had any problems but now my Touch will not get online via the MacBook. It sees and connects to the MacBook wireless but it doesn't have any connectivity. It gets an IP address assigned, but I can't get anything on it.
Thinking it was my computer I tried my PowerBook and was able to get online with the PowerBook via the shared wireless network on the Macbook. Also, I can plug the LAN cable into the PowerBook and the Touch will connect through it using the internet sharing.
I was thinking that it was a difference between the PPC and the Intel chips but the Touch was working on the MacBook a few hours earlier. I am running the same basic system on both computers and for the most part they are running the same stuff.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

After a long time i think someone has found a way to get internet sharing working with the ipod touch.
found this post by "coolisstillgood" in macforums and it worked perfectly for me.
+"I've seen a lot of posts and notes about this topic over the internet and non of them could solved my problem completely,they were partially helpful but not entirely helpful. there were tons of complains about this matter and a lot of users seemed unhappy because simply they couldn't share their Internet Connection over airport or wifi with their iPod Touch. After a long and tiring night I finally figured out how to get it right and I decided to share this experience with all the Mac users gladly.+
+Ok, what I have is a MacBook with OS 10.5.2 installed and my Internet connection is through cable modem and it's a Ethernet Connection and I shared my Internet through Airport with my iPod Touch.+
+I assumed your Internet Connection is fully established and you can surf the web with your MacBook.+
+you go to System Preferences and under the Internet & Network, you go to Sharing,Turn On Web Sharing and Internet Sharing,in the Internet Sharing you have to choose to Share your Connection From Ethernet(in case you get your Internet Connection from Ethernet of course) To computer using Airport .+
+And then on your iPod touch you go to Setting and the Wi-Fi,you should see your computer name there,choose the network and then press the ">" sign in the blue circle,you should see your IP Address which probably is 10.0.2.2 . What is important here is your DNS which probably should be something like this format 10.0.2.1+
+you go back to your Mac and System Preferences>Network>Airport you should see your Computer's Name in the Network Name field, you go to Advanced>TCP/IP and write down your IPv4 Address, go one step back which is System Preferences>Network and this time you go to Ethernet>Advanced>DNS on the right side,there is the list of your DNS Servers,you add your DNS number form your iPod Touch and your IPv4 from your Airport configuration and that's it.+
+you should be able to browse internet from your iTouch by now.+
+And for all the IP stuff,you let DHCP handle it Automatically. I did it and it works fine for me and the speed is pretty good too and there is no need for a wireless router. You can share your Ethernet Internet Connection Easily from Airport to your iTouch.+
+I hope this post will be useful for ones struggling with this problem.+
+keep it cool"+
follow the instructions exactly and good luck!

HT1351 I just logged into my applie ID and my old Ipod which I may have hooked up to my wifes account to fill with songs...now when I tie it into my computer with my apple ID I can't sync. I go to file menu/library and the sync option is grayed out

Can't seem to sync an version 4 ipod with an old itunes account of mine. I may have hooked it to my wife's account. The only option I have when going to file/library is "transfer purchased from Adam's Ipod"

I'm not sure if the crash is or isn't related to fonts.
Deciphering the crash long is something I don't have any experience with.
I'm not even sure how the crash log is structured. I've downloaded two screen captures: one from the top of the adobe Photoshop crash log and one from the bottom. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I can discern what may be causing the crash?

Any ideas?
Thanks a bunch.

How can I sync my iPod touch calendar with my iPod using wifi? Everything else sync but but the calendar.

For some reason my iPad2 calendar doesn't sync with my iPod touch. iOS is up to date on both devices and everything else syncs. I have read the manual about syncing, tried syncing via iTunes and have wifi on but neither work. I have cloud set for my backup in both. My iPad calendar shows duplicate appointments, my iPod touch shows none unless I enter them into iPod. Can anyone give me some help? Thank you

Maybe:

Is there any way to share my Mac's internet connection with my iPod as I can't turn on the wifi on my iPod?!

When I restored and updated to IOS 6.1.3, my wifi on my iPod Touch 4th Gen greyed out and I can no longer use it.
Is there any way to share the connection of my mac using the USB cable or Bluetooth?
Thanks,

How did you try to contact them? In any case, an Apple Store is the best way to handle any problems with an iPhone when you have a store in your area. The Apple Store will certainly be able to handle the problem one way or another. Most likely they'll just replace the iPhone, though if you're out of warranty the replacement will not be free.

My ipod is cracked and it chipped away a little more last night and that's when my wifi stopped working. My wifi works on every other device in my house except for my ipod. Is there something wrong with my ipod?

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Try right next to the router
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
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Could it be this?
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

I'm lost with my new "used" iPod touch 4th gen. Just downloaded iOS 6; seems to be trying to access a WIFI signal but I have it hard wired into my MAC and I do not have WIFI. Need iPod for dummies.

I'm lost with my new "used" iPod touch 4th gen. Just downloaded iOS 6; seems to be trying to access a WIFI signal but I have it hard wired into my MAC and I do not have WIFI. Need iPod for dummies - very basic and simple help.

On the computer you should be able to go to the network properites. Go to the TCP part and unchec the line that says obtaind DNS automatically and check the one that says use the following. Add the 8.8.8.8 and Google other 8.8.4.4.

Please post if you have WiFi with WPA2-PSK and WEP working on iPod ios4

Quite a few people seem to be having difficulty with getting WiFi with WPA2-PSK and WEP working on iPod ios4. I'd like to know if anyone does have this working. Please let us know iPod model, access point (router) model, and security settings on your setup. I'm reluctant to upgrade if I can't get WiFi because quite a few of my favorite apps need the net. Please do NOT post to this thread if your WiFi is NOT working. Thanks
I have:
1. brand new (not yet even initialized) 32GB iPod Touch
2. iPod Touch 8GB 3rd Gen
3. Netcomm gateway/router/access point with security set as noted above.
Edit: if you don't know what Gen your iPod Touch is, please see:
http://support.apple.com/specs/#ipodtouch
The easiest way to tell 2nd from 3rd gen is that 3rd gen has bluetooth (look in Settings/General -- if Bluetooth is there, your iPod is 3rd gen, if not it's 2nd gen or earler).

Thanks a lot to all who responded. I now have registered and upgraded my brand spanking new 32GB iPod Touch to ios4. Before I updated, I registered the new iPod, set up and checked the WiFi connection as described in my OP (except that it was AES - not WEP as noted above) and it worked just fine. I then updated to ios4 and it still worked fine, with no further input from me. It just connected as it should have after the update and all internet functions connect and work as expected.
To those who have had problems, my sympathy, but the problems are clearly not due only to ios4 -- there has to be something else going on with your connections.

How can I disable wifi while playing music with locked ipod touch?

When I play music and lock the iPod touch, the wifi stays on which drains more battery than is needed. I don't want to turn off wifi in Settings since I like the flexibility to unlock the iPod and quickly check email, browse the web while listing to music (without going into settings, turn it on, browse, go back to settings and turn it off). Once I lock the iPod while playing music, I'd like the wifi to turn off. I know it will stay on while streaming that is expected, but why is the wifi staying on when playing music of the iPod?? Is there a way to do what I am asking? I don't recall having this issue with OS 1.x or 2.x. Also I have seen some posts asking for the opposite (leave the wifi on when not playing music and iPod is locked). These posts acknowledge that wifi stays on while playing music, so it seems to be 'feature' or bug in the OS.

henry is correct. you can't do that.
however, for what it's worth, i have found that wifi connection is similar to mobile phone network connection. i.e. if a phone is searching for a network, it takes up huge amounts of battery, but if it is constantly connected, it doesn't. so it is the 'search' procedure which drains the battery. similarly with my iPod touch. if it is connected to my home wifi network, but i am not using the wifi connection, the battery will not drain significantly. it's when i'm away from home and forget to switch it off that the battery drains. or when i am using it constantly (like listening to a 3.5 hr radio show using safari)

HT204409 How do I change or reset my password for my wifi? I have forgotten my initial password when I setup the wifi and now cant use it with my iPod but it still works with my iPad as the password option doesn't come up like the iPod.

If you are saying that the iPod asks for the password for the network and you do not know it, what may work is to turn on iCloud keychain for the iPod and iPad., Thet may sync the password from the iPad to the iPod

Otherwise you will have to go into the router settings and reset the wifi password in the router
