I've just bought an ipod touch. I cannot get beyond the question asking me for a network name. I don't have a mobile telephone which I think this question is referring to. All I want from an ipod is to listen to music. What should I do?

You have to activate a new iPod by either setting it up via wifi network that has an internet connection on to connect to a computer that has iTunes and an internet connection.
You can go to an Apple store or or to a friend's house if necessary

  • My 4th Gen Ipod touch will not get past the apple logo

    My 4th Gen Ipod touch will not get past the apple logo (unless the battery is dead, Then it tell me to charge it).  Once it gave me the connect to itunes screen.  I clicked restore in itunes but the ipod went back to the apple logo before the update download finished. I tried calling apple but my over the phone technical support just expired. PLEASE HELP! 

    This can be a corrupted software/firmware on your iPod touch. If the recovery mode you did was not forced, then try to force it into recovery mode. This is how:
    1. Force it to shut down (note: this sort of shut down should not be preformed unless you are in a situation like this because it is a hardware shutdown and will not attempt to unload software, save unsaved files, safely stop system processes, etc.) to do this, hold down the power/sleep button and home button for about 7 or 10 secs. Also I might be incorrect but I heard that you can just hold down the sleep and home button until the screen goes blank and then immediately let go.
    2. Have iTunes running. Hold down the home button and plug the USB cable that came with your iPod into it. Keep on holding on the home button until a picture of a USB cable going into the iTunes logo appears. You are now in a forced recovery mode. (In case your not so tech-savvy forced recovery is the same as a normal recovery mode that an iPod might do if it knows an update or restore failed.)
    3. iTunes should have shown a pop-up message about it found a iPod in recovery mode. Click OK, click your iPod from the sidebar and click restore. The iPod will show the apple logo for a while and iTunes will say "preparing iPod for restore" and then "waiting for iPod" this was the longest part of updates for me.
    4. iPod will reboot when restore is completed. When I update my iPod it one time showed the apple logo for one whole sync until it showed the slide to unlock screen, so do not worry. P.S if that does not work do a DFU mode restore ( I've been told DFU mode stands for device firmware update mode) I'm running out of room, so google it. Hope this helped ;)

  • My 2nd gen. ipod touch won't get off the 'slide to open' screen and it won't slide... Shows lock symbol at top.  What do I do to fix it???

    My 2nd generation ipod touch won't get off the 'slide to open' screen and won't let me slide to open.  It shows the lock symbol at the top.  This is my first time to have one so I'm a little lost... Is it fried or is there a trick to unlock and get it open?  Yes, I'm an idiot when it comes to this stuff and I have no manuel to read and learn from.  Someone please help!!!!

    - First try resetting the iPod:
    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.
    - Then try restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults.

I got it from a friend who cleared all of his stuff off of it. I can't get any of the stuff I downloaded on it. maybe it didn't sync with my computer. it doesn't show up when I go to the itunes store on the top bar next to the library tab either. HELP ! lol

  • After updating to ios5 lost all my apps on ipod touch and cannot get them back how can i fix this?

    how can i restore my apps to my ipod touch?.. I lost all of them when went to ios5 and cannot get them back onto the ipod.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you are saying you can't turn off find my phone because it is still using an old ID, you need to change your ID back to the old address at My Apple ID turn off find my phone then change your ID back at my Apple ID.

  • I am unable to update my software version on my iPod touch. It gets to the very end and tells me that my session timed out. What should I do?

    Every time I try and update my software version for my iPod touch from version 4.2.1 to version 4.3.5 I get within .5 MB (409.5 of 409.6MB) to the end and an error pops up telling me that my network connection has timed out so that the update could not be completed. I start the nursing program next week and need to download books onto my iPod, but it will not let me download the updated versions until my software is updated. I have tried restoring my iPod but when I restore it it says I have to download new software at the same time, therefore I can't even restore it. I just tried resetting my iPod and erasing all data as well as uninstalling iTunes and downloading it again and it still wont work. What do I do? I need to update it so it is ready for school in a week. Any advice? I have tried calling but as I understand I would have to pay for anyone to help me and I really don't want to do that until I have to.

    Hi Jen.  My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse.  Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too.  Now to the problem at hand.  I have the same problem.  I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade.  Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade.  But I'm sure other factors are involved.  Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem:  What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it.  Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade.  Hope this works.   Charlie

  • IPod touch disabled, cannot get into recovery mode or unlock to enter passcode.

    I've got an 8GB iPod touch that is disabled, cannot be unlocked, and it will not go into recovery mode. When I plug it into iTunes, it says "iTunes could not connect to the iPod touch because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPod touch before it can be used with iTunes." At the top is a red banner that says "iPod is disabled connect to iTunes" and it won't let me unlock it to enter a passcode and I've tried the recovery mode where you plug it in when powered off holding the home button, but I guess the iPod isn't updated enough for it to work (doesn't look like the new Apple OS) because when I do that, it just powers on like normal. What do I need to do because I'm definitely at a stopping point. Please help me get this iPod into working condition.

    Try Recovery Mode again. Timing is critical so it may not have been done correctly the first time. Detailed instructions at: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.

  • HT201335 I have just bought apple TV but i cannot get my TV to find the signal from my Ipad 2. I can access my MAC files and play those through home sharing but no streaming from my ipad. It as though the Apple TV is not receiving the signal. What am i mi

    I have just bought Apple TV 2 and have followed all of the steps as directed. I have set up home sharing so I can watch the files from my MAC on the TV but I cannot get the airplay to stream my Ipad2 to the TV.
    I cannot even get my Apple TV to recognise that my Ipad is even on the same network as it as it gives me no options or recognition that it is trying to send the data.
    What have I missed to make my Ipad2 stream the screen image onto my TV...?
    Frustrated am i with it...!!

    I took a very quick look at the Owner's Manual for that Router.
    Much of this you will already know....but:
    1. Its a combination DSL modem/WiFi Router
    2. It does not have ariel antennas. My experience, the WiFi tends to perform poorly compared to standalone WiFi units and the WiFi range is also limited thus slower the farther away you get (or Apple TV gets)
    3. If you don't have a DSL filter infront of it I recommend using one, even if you don't use phones. DSL comes in the pair as a different frequency and its "probably" best to filter it out anyway.....even though it comes in on a dial tone and a dial tone often exists
    4. Let me know who you ISP is and I will find out what other Routers they offer.
    5. You can buy pretty much any DSL modem / Router online assuming it supports PPOe which most DSL ISPs use
    6. If you have not in fact tried running an Ethernet Cable.....try it.....you can get a 100 footer locally for just a few bucks. It could solve a heart ache
