I have a 2nd generation iPod touch and it shows to be connected to WiFi but will not access the internet, please tell me what i can do, because i use this device for work and it make things difficult that it will not work now. Please help, thank you!

I really need help, my ipod shows to connect to the WiFi but then it will not let me use the interent it says no connection but according to my screen i have WiFi connection, i am very confused an i would really appriciate it if someone could help me sort out this problem so i can start using my iPod for work again.

Even though the iPod shows as been connected, it might not have actually received a valid IP address via DHCP from your Wi-Fi access point or router.  Head to Settings -> Wi-Fi and tap the > next to the network you are connected. If 169.xxx.xxx.xxx is listed for an IP Address, then your iPod did not receive a valid IP address.  To correct this you can reboot your router by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds.
It wouldn't hurt to also reset your iPod.  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • I have a 2nd generation iPod touch.  I have not updated the software from version 2.2.1.  When I connect to iTunes to update to 4.2, I keep getting an error message.  Has anyone else had this issue and figured out a way to fix it?

    Error -1
    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    I have a 2nd generation Ipod touch.  Lately the screen will not light up and also at times while typing it returns to the home screen (such as in facebook. Any suggestions?

    Have you tried any of the usual 5 R's for troubleshooting.  See here for more information.

    If none of those resolve the issue (including restoring the device back to factory defaults), the backlight issue is likely hardware related, meaning you'll need to have your iPod serviced either by Apple or a third party repair company.

    I have a 2nd generation IPOD TOUCH How can I upgrade the software so I can use newer apps

    After so many years, all technology becomes obsolete. For mobile devices this cycle is even quicker. That iPod is now 5 years old and there have been many hardware advancements since then.

  • I have a 2nd generation ipod touch and it wont let me download apps onto it is thir anything i can do

    When i am trying to download it says that i dont have the upto date software but when i click on the update button is says i am upto date ?
    Does anyone know if this can be fixed or if it is due to the model being old

    If you are running iOS 3.1.3, it is very likely you have a 1st generation iPod touch. That is the highest iOS version it can handle.
    Regardless, you can find plenty of apps in the iTunes store which run on older devices. Here is my favorite solution for filtering compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    And here are some things other people have suggested:
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

  • HT4059 I have a 2nd generation ipod touch that I am trying to download ibooks onto.  It is version 4.2.1.  The app says it requires 5.0.   Is there an older version I can put on the ipod so I can read books?  And same with the kindle app.

    How can I get the ibooks onto a 2nd generation ipod touch since it requires 5.0 and the version on the ipod is only 4.2.1?   Surely, I should be able to read books on the 2nd generation ipod, right?

    "Really?  "
    Yes.
    "Is there any other way to access books on the ipod 2nd generation? "
    No ibooks.
    You can try a kindle reader.

  • My ipod will not let me use all but like 3 apps fully without closing me out of the app. I have a 2nd generation ipod touch that has IOS 4. Why is this happening and should I take it to an apple store??

    My ipod will not let me use all but like 3 apps fully without closing me out of the app and i can only use safari or the app store for about 10 seconds without it shutting down the app. This has been happening for about 6 months after the upgrade to ios 4. Please help, should i take my ipod to an apple store?? It is a ipod 2nd generation itouch with ios 4.

    We won't know until you try the procedure.   The reset will not affect the content of the iPod.

  • I have a 2nd generation ipod touch and it wont update to version 4.2 why

    My iPod will say backin up in a little box and then it just stops backing up and freezes? why?

    See if moving the exsting backup to a safe location will allow a successfull backup since iTunes will create an entire new update file rather than modifying the existing one.  The file is located here:
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

  • My 2nd generation ipod touch won't play on my new speaker dock but my iphone does

    I just purchased a new speaker dock for my ipod touch but when I dock it it shows it's charging but no sound comes out of the speakers. When I dock my iphone on it, it plays fine and I know the ipod touch works because it plays on my old speaker dock.

    You can try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    Many vendors when they are updating apps for iOS 5 have droped support for iOS les than 4.  It could be that the dock manufacturer is not support earlier iOSs and/or the 1G iPod.
    I went to nadelectronics.com and only found the:
    - VISO 1 which did not really say anything about compatibility.
    - NAD IPD 2 Dock which said "Compatible with all current iPods and iPhones.  The 1G with iOS 2.x may not be considerd current.

  • My ipod will connect to my wifi, but it cant access the internet

    - Can you connect to other networks?
    - Have y successfully connect to this network before?
    - Try powering off and then back on your router.
    - Reset your iPod.  Nothing will be lost:
    Reset iPod touch:  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.

  • I have a 2nd generation iPod touch. I want to sell it. How do I clear my account from the iPod?

    Want to sell old iPod and need to know how to clear my account from it.

    Connect the iPod to a charging source and go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings. It can take a few hours that is why it should be connected to a charging source.
    Alternately you can connect the iPid to your computer. Log out of all iTunes accounts (iTunes>Store>Logout) and restore to factory settings/new iPod.
