  • Hi, My daughters just got an ipod touch today and I'm having trouble connecting it to my Wi-Fi network!??

    Hi,
    My daughters just got an ipod touch today and I'm having trouble connecting it to my Wi-Fi network.  It identifies my wireless connection but then says 'unable to join the network' with the word 'Dismiss' underneath.  Any ideas on what I can do? Thanks!!

    Hi
    Thanks for your reply.  I've tried resetting a few times. There is no 'tick' next to the name of my wireless connection so it won't connect at all.  I think I may have to do something with my router as there is an arrow button to press next to my wireless name, this takes me to a screen which asks for IP address, then has options for DHCP   BootP and Static, it asks for Client ID DNS etc - all gobbledegook to me!!   Perhaps my router is blocking the Ipod?
    Thanks anyway!

  • New IPod Touch 4th Gen isn't being recognized by my computer or itunes.

    I got a new IPod Touch yesterday and I am finally getting the time to sit down and set everything up and when I plugged it in it makes the charging sound but itunes is not finding it and neither is my computer. I've been messing with it for hours now and at one point my computer thought the IPod was a camera. I've tried updating itunes to the newest version, uninstaling/reinstaling the drivers, even tried updating the IPod to iOS 6 thinking that might help but still nothing. What am I missing?

  • I just got a ipod touch - tips and trcks

    Hey,
    I just got ipod touch I havent took it out the box yet but I wanted to know any tips and tricks I can use to help me get started. I wanted to know if I need the software update and I also have a ipod nano can I still use them both? or can I make my ipod touch my default ipod in my itunes? Thanks

    If you get a new iPod Touch you will get the updated software andyway and, believe me, it is worth it. While you won't have continuous connections to the Internet, many hot spots are out there so you can check e-mail, YouTube, etc as well as surf the net in those places where hot spots are. In addition, the iCal function works great and the Map program is fantastic.
    What has happened is that the iTouch is becoming a useful PDA as well as having the great music function. I don't know if you "need" these but I find that the programs make the iTouch a much much more useful device for what I do.
    Regrarding "default" status: When you connect your iTouch to your Mac, iTunes will recognize it as a separate iPod and you can set up the syncing, etc just for it. When you connect your other iPod(s) iTunes recognizes those as separate devices for syncing, etc. I have a Nano and an iTouch and that is the way it works so you don't have to worry about a "default" set up.

  • Just got the iPod Touch 5 and my World of Warcraft "Armory" app needs an update even thou I got it up to date.....

    I bought an iPod Touch 5 from my friend today and uploaded all of my apps from my iTunes and got all of them Up-To-Date. Somehow after updating the World of Warcraft "Armory" app it says that the app needs to be updated even thou I updated the app. Nothing would work. I try deleting and reinstalling the app and still ask for update. I look in my Updates tap in the App Store but it says that All apps are up to date.

    I have the simlar issue when getting the app for my Dad's iPad. Help me too please.

  • My ipod has been acting weird like it has been shutting off while plugged in the charging noise and animation have not been playing and it isn't being recognized by any computer even after 3 different cables how do I fix this?

    PLZ Help I want to get my Ipod working again.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I just got my ipod touch 4g and it charged frm 15 to 80 percent in an hour

    is this normal or is my device stuffed up

    Hello nikeyflyair,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    is this normal or is my device stuffed up
    Yes, this is completely normal. You are seeing what is called *Fast Charge*, which will charge your iPod to about 80% capacity in about 2 hours instead of charging it for 4 hours to reach full capacity.
    Yes, so after about 2 hours of leaving it charged, it will say 100% but will really only be charged to 80%.
