Ipod itouch connection problems

WRT54GS v1; firmware 4.71.1
itouch connects wirelessly and is assigned ip address, subnet mask and dns servers as expected. router shows itouch in DHCP clients table.
when i attempt to access web i get 'cannot connect to server' error.
other wireless laptops and hardwired pc's connect and access inet fine.
itouch connects and accesses web flawlessly at local coffee shop
45 minutes on support line with apple yielded no answers - the best they can offer is that it is the router.
help!

FOUND THE PROBLEM!!!!
it seems the itouch cannot handle multiple DNS servers. it turns out my internet provider's (cablevision) first listed DNS server was down. the itouch does not look at alternates. once i discovered that by pinging it, i changed the order of DNS servers on my router putting one of the active DNS servers first.
after that, worked like a charm!!!

Trying to update iPod software; Connection problems.

Okay, so I have the iPod Touch 4th Gen, and when I plugged it into my computer, iTunes said that there was a iPod software update available. I've tried several times to download the update, but every time I try the same thing happens: It only downloads a few hundred KB of it, then it stops there, and the remaining time displayed keeps going up until it shows up to 24 hours or more, and finally, an error message comes up saying it couldn't complete the request because of connection problems. (error = -3259)
On a similar note, when downloading songs from iTunes, I constantly have to pause and resume them in order for them to fully download. Otherwise it just stops where it is.
However, I can still connect to the store just fine, with only a very few timeouts here and there, but those are easily remedied by re-visiting the page I tried to view.
So, clearly I have some sort of issue with my connection to iTunes. Can someone please help me?

care to share what the other way to download it is??
My boss has an ipad, last week he downloaded the 2 entire seasons of 24, and a season of Rescue Me with no problems at all, now he's trying to download a movie and he keeps getting this error. If those shows downloaded just fine why won't the movie download? Our Windows firewalls are disabled by Group Policy so that's not the problem... and our security software hasn't changed since last week when he successfully downloaded those shows so that shouldn't be the issue either. We don't use proxys. He's wired to the internet so it's not a wireless timing out on him issue. He's on the latest version of itunes. He's logged out of itunes store, shut down itunes, and relogged in... same problem.

IPod touch connection problem!

My iPod touch no longer appears in iTunes when it is connected to the computer. I have tried to fix this problem in as many ways as I know but none of them have worked. So far, I've tried: Restarting my iPod, Downloading and installing the latest version of iTunes, using a different usb cable, using different usb ports, restarting my computer and stopping & starting the apple mobile device service. My iPod still charges when connected to my wall charger and the computer which I use (windows xp) still connects to my brothers iPod touch. I don't what the problem could be?! My iPod is 1 & 1/2 years old, but still works perfectly fine apart from this issue. Can anyone help?

BMW 335i ipod interface connection problem with ipod classic 80GB

Hi all, i have a 2007 BMW 335i with dealer installed ipod interface, and i been using it since, it's simply i just connect ipod with the cable in the glove compartment and leave it there, and it charges and stanby, when i start up the car the audio jumps right to where i left off on the ipod and it also let me control it with iDrive. after about one and half year of usage, i think there is something wrong with my ipod or i dont know for sure, well here is the problem, when i start the car it will play music from the ipod and i can control it from iDrive and everything but after about 5-10 mins, the music stop, and my iDrive shows weird playlist, and i need to unplug the ipod and replug again to have it connect and then it will stop by itself, after 5-10 mins, any of you guys have a bmw with the ipod interface have this problem?? i dont really know if it's my ipod problem or my bmw ipod interface problem. anyone can help me with this? thank you!

That is most likely going to be a problem with your iPod, not the interface.
Have you tried Resetting the iPod? (hold down the menu and center buttons for six seconds).
If that fails to work, try Restoring the iPod in iTunes.

Applie iPod Classic Connection Problems

Hi there, me and my dad just bought 2 new iPod classics... Mines is working without any problems so far (although trying to figure out how to convert videos is ******* me off) but anyway his was working this morning before I left for work and I left it to update and download the newest artwork... Upon arriving home however his is unable to open up in iTunes and Windows Vista simply keeps trying to install drivers for the iPod everytime I connect it and ultimately fails everytime... Anyone have any ideas? Much appreciated

Hey there Joeyleo,
It sounds like you are unable to use any USB accessories with your iPod Classic. I would use the troubleshooting from the following article:
iPod classic Troubleshooting Assistant
https://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
Here is step one to get you started, but there is additional troubleshooting within if needed:
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip:
If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.

All the best,

IPod FireWire connectivity problems

the firewire provided with my ipod has now made my ipod unusable, except when it is connected to the computer/wall charger by firewire...
previously i have used my USB to update it and my firewire to charge it through the wall adapter... however, i lost my USB, and used my firewire to update it aswell as charge it...
after a few updates with the firewire (2 or 3) it will not turn on unless connected to the firewire in the computer or wall adapter... it will not reset or respond in any way if it is not... this is my 3rd ipod... if anyone has any suggestions... please help... i am DESPERATE!!!!!
thanks

Having the same problem with my 3G 20GB iPod. I have an Adaptec 4300 firewire card and multiple onboard 2.0 USB ports. My computer or iTunes no longer even recognizes my iPod when I use my firewire card. It used to connect for a few minutes one out every few tries, but now nothing...It will just charge as if I was connecting it to my A/C adapter.
It will be recognizes most of the time when trying my USB but I can never get a secure connection. It will just beep real quick and then disconnect again right after.
I've tried just about every possible fix listed in these forums to no avail. I will most likely be purchasing a new mp3 player if I can't find a fix soon. It's been a major pain ever since I purchased it.
I'm currently looking at the Cowon iAudio X5 and the Toshiba Gigabeat X, F, or S series. All but the S series Gigabeat support Rockbox firmware ports making it far superior to anything iPod or iTunes has put out there.

TS1369 iPod Classic Connection Problem

My iPod Classic is not being recognized by Windows or iTunes. I spent hours going through all the troubleshooting scenarios today, swapping cables, iPod's, etc. I can't seem to locate an iPod USB driver in Device Manager, and there doesn't seem to be any troubleshooting steps to deal with this situation. Any suggestions?

Ipod Touch Connectivity Problems

I am having problems getting my pc to recognize my ipod at all. I am currently running windows 7 64 bit and have the newest version of iTunes.
The following are the symptoms I am experiencing:
The ipod is recognized in device manager under portable devices. I tried updating the software to get the following message " driver up to date for the device, MTB USb device." Yet under device manager the ipod shows up as apple ipod.
I then tried locating the ipod under disk management, yet the ipod doesn't show up at all.
Under my computer, the ipod shows up under portable devices, not as a drive letter, and shows up as a camera.
When I have the ipod plugged in and try starting iTunes, itunes freezes up and doesn't work. itunes does the same if it has already been running and I plug the ipod in.
Any help on this matter would be much appreciated. I believe the root of the problem has to do with the mtb usb message.

i was having similar problems. i tried all the recommendations i could find. in the end all i did was disable my wireless then plugged in my ipod. it works everytime i do that.

Ipod/Macbook Connection Problem

Hello Everyone! I recently purchased a 120 GB Ipod Classic off of Craigslist and I think I've been duped. When I returned home, I plugged the Ipod in and connected it to Itunes and reset the unit. I then proceeded to transfer my media (I left this overnight as I have close to 20,000 songs). I checked on it about an hour later and everything seem to be tranferring fine. I woke up this morning, my ipod still plugged into my computer but it wasn't recognized in Itunes. I unplugged it and none of my media transferred. I then tried to connect it to my computer and.... the Ipod shows the screen that it's connecting to my computer do not disconnect, then it flashes and resets. It repeats this loop over and over if I leave it connected.
I've disconnected it, held the middle select button down to reset it but still nothing. Any help is much appreciated.

Hey anamorphose13,
If your iPod displays the "Do not disconnect" screen indefinitely, I'd follow these troubleshooting steps:
Put iPod into Disk Mode.
iPod should appear in the iTunes Source pane and on the desktop or in a Finder window, or in the My Computer window.
If a message appears that says the volume could not be mounted and asks if you want to initialize the disk, choose to initialize iPod's disk. Use Mac OS Extended format (HFS Plus) if you have a Mac, or FAT32 if you have a Windows PC.
Warning: This process cannot be undone. All of your songs, videos, and other files will be deleted. Always make a backup of your important data.
Follow the steps to update or restore iPod. If you manually put iPod into Disk Mode it may need to be resetbefore you can use it.
If you cannot put iPod into Disk Mode after performing these steps, it may need to be repaired. You can arrange for repair at the iPod Service Website.

Ipod nano Connection problems

Hi,
Whenever I Connect my Ipod nano It won't stop displaying the do not dissconect sign. What am I doing wrong?

Ben, it will always display the Do Not Disconnect message until you eject it if you've chosen either of these options:
1. Manual updating of songs and playlists
2. Automatic updating with Enable Disk Use checked.
If either option is chosen, you'll need to manually eject your iPod using the icon in the lower right-hand corner of iTunes.

Ipod 4gb connection problems, not normal situation

An ipod i acquired from a friend had fallen and the screen broke. For a few hours the ipod worked despite the screen being broken. Then it suddenly turned off and no longer played. When it was connected to a computer it did not respond. I open the ipod to try and figure out what had went wrong since the warranty was over. I noticed some discoloration in the pins that connected the flash memory to the board. I also noticed a scratch over those pins. I put some tin foil over it and connected it to the computer and the ipod was read but was not able to reformat or be mounted as a usb drive. This process as stopped working after a while and now can't even be recognized. I require some help as I dont want to lose this ipod because it can still be used a 4gb usb drive. Thank You in advanced.

I did look at your pictures. If you think you didn't connect it properly, compare it to the pictures on ifixit. Past that, send it to a professional to fix it, they aren't going to come here and diagnose it from your pictures and tell you how to fix it. If you were such a techy you'd already know anyway.
If you are Restoring it and it continually responds with a message that it is corrupt, read this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93499
