Okay so my Ipod Touch is connected to my computer which has charged my ipod before. Now when i plug it in, my ipod doesnt charge unless i move the charger around. Should I get a new charger, or what?

I could be the cable or it could be that the connecor in the iPod is damaged. If the iPod is the problem replacing the cable will not help. Look at the dock connector on the iPod and the contacts on the cable.

TV Screen says "No signal" when I try to use apple TV. Was working. ie Little Apple symbol would appear on TV screen, but now get "No signal" Internet connection working (light on apple TV)...tried new HDMI cable but still "No signal"

Same exact problem with my Apple TV. Worked like a charm the first two times we used it. Haven't used it in about a month, now no Apple logo when I turn it on, or the logo appears momentarily and distorted, and then an error message from my Samsung HD TV: Mode Not Supported.
What changed?

your help is appreciated. please.
thank you so, so much in advance.
feel free to ask me about any other details.

Does your ipod charge if you use the adapter instead your usb ports? If yes, try to put it into recovery mode and restore. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
This will take all of your music off your ipod, but, as mentioned by luvlabs, it is still on your mac after the restore.
If it doesn't charge using the adapter and different cables you should make an appointment with your nearest Applestore or call Apple to service your ipod.

Ipod touch shows connection with home computer but can't access internet

Just got ipod touch...and can't connect to internet on home computer. Wifi is on and it shows connection to my home computer but I can access the internet.

What iP address is shown on the iPod for network connection? If it starts with 169 you are not connected to the network, the 169 IP is assigned by the iPod and not obtained form the router.
I would try:
- powering off and then back on yur router.
- Reseting network settings on the iPod: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
- The troubleshooting here:
iPhone and iPod touch: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

MY ipod touch wont connect to the internet. HELP i've tried everything I can think of.

I've reset the wireless settngs, turned the wifi off and then turned it back on, and I've clicked "other" under the wifi names and typed in the name and password. What next?

Can other devices that you own connect to your WiFi network? If not then that is the problem, not the iPod.

IPod Touch cannot connect to wireless network

I have a 1 TB, dual-band time capsule with a wireless network created to share our broadband internet connection for our main computer (the iMac), a windows PC, an iPhone 3G, and a 2nd gen iPod touch to connect to the internet. Wireless security for this network is WPA/WPA2 Personal. The windows box and the iPhone 3G connect without problem, but the iPod touch does not seem to connect correctly. The device sees the network, prompts for the password, and seems to be connected (wi-fi symbol visible in top left corner of device), but when trying to view a website using the Safari app, the screen dims and an endless "Connecting..." message is visible. Furthermore, when trying to update e-mail, I get a message that the connection to the server failed.
It is worth noting that the iPod did not always have this problem. It was able to connect to the wi-fi network until a few weeks ago. This may have been due to the upgrade to Snow Leopard, or perhaps due to an incident where the windows PC lost its connection to the network. When this occurred, I had to disable all security on the network, connect the PC to the network, then re-enable security (as I had to do when first installing the Time Capsule; for whatever reason, the windows box had a hard time joining the network with security enabled). Anyway, one of these two events is the likely cause of the iPod suddenly being unable to connect; I'm sorry to say that I'm uncertain as to which one, because my wife uses the device sporadically, so we cannot pinpoint exactly when this difficulty started.
As for attempted solutions, I tried resetting the iPod back to factory settings, only to have the same connection issues. I also changed the network security settings to None, and attempted to connect the iPod to the network (even though it should have no problem connecting to a secure network), but still no go. I am short on ideas for a fix, and would gladly welcome any advice the community has to offer. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Pretty much the same thing happened to me. My new Touch connects fine to my work wireless network (WEP64) - still does. But my home wireless network is SOL. I can join the router, wireless icon is in upper left corner (although gray, not green). I can even see the Touch from my router (Verizon FIOS). All other laptops in the house including wireless TiVo work flawlessly. I have not undone my security on my router yet - looks like it won't help. I have tried using static IP and I can still see iPod from router. But I cannot browse, go to AppStore, check email (which works great from work network), and have exact same error messages as above post. It has to be a security thing somewhere, I just didn't want to mess with router if I didn't have to. If I figure it out, I will post here........
