IPod Touch 1st Gen - Wifi issue

I have been using the Wifi on the Touch perfectly within my home network, but just recently it now doesnt obtain an IP address from my router.
I have removed the connection, 'Reset Network Settings', disabled and enabled Wifi, tried joining my SSID (which it does do) but nothing, it comes out with a 169.254.x.x address. Wireless appears to be working as it can see neighbours SSID.
I changed the name of the wireless SIDD, Touch found it, joined to it, no address. I have checked the DHCP range and there are plenty of addresses.
Any other ideas to try? I haven't done a full system restore yet, hoping to resolve it without having to try that.

Hello several suggestions below
1. Ensure the iPod Touch has latest available update if it does not already
http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/softwareupdate.html
2. Ensure your router has the most up to date Software/Firmware installed. If you know how to obtain this simply visit router manufactures website for more info. Otherwise contact router manufacture for assistance.
3. Make sure router is broadcasting in Mixed Mode or at least 802.11 B/G Mode or G mode only if you can. And keep WiFi security off for now. If it connects with valid IP address proceed below for WiFi security options
4. WiFi Security Options
WEP 128 bit 13 character passcode made of numbers or letters or combo of both but needs to be 13 total no more or no less.
WPA/WPA2 Personal - 8 character passcode or longer.
*If you find it connects with password and still works with valid IP address you are ok to go from there.
5. Check Mac address filtering. If you have it turned on this could be a small possibility why it is not sending out proper info. So either add your WiFi address into the router area for Mac addresses or turn off Mac address filtering on the router.
-iPhone Wireless Address can be found by going to Settings - General - About
6. Restore iPod Touch as new iPod Touch. Please ensure all data is properly backed up to your computer before you sync data back to iPod Touch.

Ipod touch 1st gen MAJOR issues HELP!

My hubby dropped his 16gb ipod touch 1st gen on the floor. It landed face down. It was working fine until the battery ran out and since then it will not hold a charge. I reset it last night and it finally charged over night (plugged into the wall) it said it was fully charged this morning but after it was unplugged it was working fine except the internet would not work. It would not connect to our wireless internet. (I have an 8gig second gen that works dandy no issues so i know its not my internet.) He had his ipod on for 20 minutes it got broiling hot and the battery was back at being almost dead. We shut it off let it cool down and then we've had it plugged in all day ( it's plugged in my computer now) and just keeps saying its got 10 minutes remaining on the battery. I restored it twice through itunes and updated it and it still will not charge but will stay on if its plugged in the computer or the wall saying its charging... also the internet still will not work. it will for a few seconds pick up my wireless but with only one bar but will not let me try to connect to it. It tells me it can't connect. Then, the signal comepletely disappears again. It won't find any wireless at all. I even went upstairs and sat in front of the modem lol. I've tried everythihng known to man and am out of ideas. Is the thing screwed? Someone please help....

Sounds like something came loose or exposed. From what i read, it looks like your battery is losing it's charge quickly. My advice would be to take it in to a local apple store and see if they can fix it or run a diagnostic. Unfortunately, if i had to guess i'd say there's a hardware problem since your battery is dying so fast and is having charging problems. Good luck.

IPod touch 1st gen sync issues

This problem has really been frustrating me.
For the past few weeks, whenever I attempt to sync my iPod touch with iTunes, I get errors from usbmuxd. The issues seem to occur when I try to sync a large amount of songs. Basically, when I try to sync songs, iTunes will begin to copy them to the iPod for a few minutes, then will just stop. Sometimes I get an error message from iTunes, but most of the time, I will get nothing at all. The iPod will just disappear from iTunes, but will still show "Sync in Progress" on the display. I have tried re-installing iTunes numerous times, but the problem still seems to be occurring. Here is a dump from Console.app:

If you are running 10.6 then this should fix it:

IPod Touch 1st gen - cannot connect to wi-fi

Hi,
Am having a persistent wi-fi connection problem with my iPod Touch 1st gen, which I just bought second-hand. Any advice gratefully appreciated, as I have not been able to find a solution on the forums so far.
THE PROBLEM
The iPod detects the signal from my home wi-fi router. When I try to connect, it invariably gives the error message "Unable to join the network [name]". I have 2 laptops and an iPhone running on this network with no problems.
TROUBLESHOOTING TRIED
- upgraded to latest version of iTunes
- upgraded to latest version of iPod Touch software
- upgraded to latest version of router firmware
- removed all encryption on wireless signal (no WPA/WEP etc enabled)
- reset wireless settings on iPod
- removed all content from iPod & did a full restore & resync
Please help! Thanks in advance

I had the same trouble for about a year. Tried everything. This finally did it-
settings-wifi-other
manually enter network name, select WEP for security
enter password once network found
After this, the network address field was still initially blank, I toggled back and forth, then the address info just appeared, all good after that!
Everything else was a waste of time
It may help to clear Safari history and cache first (mine happened to be cleared after the unsuccessful reset}
Apple called it a hardware issue, and wanted me to send it in. Repair cost was near or more than replacement cost. This all started after 2.2.1 update - my best assumption was that the update over-clocked the wifi, and fried it. That didn't make sense to me, as it could still show the networks.
Hoe this helps you. The itouch was running 3.1.3 when I tried this last night.
Hope this helps! Reply back with your success stories!

Help. I can't update iPod Touch 1st gen from ios 2.1.2 to 3.1.1; already paid for it.

Hi all,
I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
Can anyone help? Please?!
Thank you!!!
P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.

Yes, I have contacted them. They are who told me to try a few of the "fixes". They actually said they had never heard of this error, or any problems relating to his download. Also, when I was talking to them, they came here to this forum to find the answer...:/ This is why I am asking here. I was hoping someone had an idea I hadn't tried already.
Thanks.

Video plays on iPhone 3G, but not iPhone 2G or iPod Touch 1st Gen

Hi all,
We're creating videos to be played on iPhones and iPod touch's. The videos are working fine on my iPhone 3Gs but won't play on my iPod touch 1st gen or a 2G iPhone. I've had a look and the supported video list is exactly the same on all iPhones and iPod touch's so I'm at a bit of a loss.
The video in question is here if anyone fancies testing it themselves:

Trying to get my ipod touch (1st gen) to upgrade to ios 3.1.1

Trying to get my ipod touch to upgrade to ios 3.1.1. I get an error message 8288

Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do:
“SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!”
Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried:

Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded!

P.S. The post by Sparkhi is a link to his blog going into a long story about how he wanted Apple to pay him for “solving” the issue….the one that apparently has been solved by multiple solutions. I’m not trying to bash, it just bothers me that he put up this whole story and finally, at the very end of his blog post, posts his solution.

Push email on ipod touch 1st gen. firmware 2.1 fails !!!

hi to all
I own an ipod touch 1st. gen. 8GB firmware 2.1 which fails in push email and a full featured mobileme (dotmac) account -
Since a while, email push fails, this never happend before i updated to firmware 2.1 !
Before ipod touch beeped in sleep mode when a email was pushed, now in 2 of 10 email it beeps sometimes, it only beeps when its not falling asleep
I wonder about that, does mobileme push email still work, or is it the firmware 2.1?
Can anybody help me please, searched the internet for days but did not find an correct help or answer for ipod touch 1st gen. push mail....
Thanks a lot tobias

ok, what i 've found out meanwhile:
Since firmware update 2.1 wifi switches off, when ipod touch 1st gen. falls asleep, or is locked - so there is no working wifi connection for pushing email and of course no beep when a email arrives (in case no email arrives)
That's a superbad bug in 2.1, and i 've to point out that this bug did not exists in vers. 2.0 ! There is no official solution or update yet and I don't know if there will ever be one...
The only way to revive push email (and beeping), while sleep or lock mode is unofficial !!
and a application called "insomnia"
The solution with insomina works fine and like pushing and beeping in firmware v 2.0 !
For using insomina, google cydia and quickpwn !
Greetings Tobias

IPod Touch 1st Gen Not Charging/Being Reconized

As the title says, my iPod Touch (1st Gen) will be reconized bu any computer or charge all in itself. I tried plugging it into multiple computers, nothing. I tried plugging it into the wall adapter...still nothing. It doesnt not get the charging symbol when I plug it into either places. The is actually the second time it happend. The first, well my cord was so worn, I guessed it was the cord and replaced it, worked just fine. The replacement happend very recently, like maybe 1-2 months ago. So right now, I would guess it was the cord, but its brand new. I have tried toing both a soft and hard reset of the iPod, nothing worked. If anyone could please help me, it would be highly appreciated.

- See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore
- Next try DFU mode

IPod Touch 1st Gen and 3.1 update DELETES volume slider

I had a perfectly working iPod Touch 1st Gen/16GB until I updated to 3.1 software. Now I do not have a volume slider.
Yes headphones are in but there is no place to adjust the volume. There is previous, next arrows and play and pause AND its centered in the rectangular area, but no volume slider.
I have restored it 3x in various ways. I have tried 5 times to downgrade the operating system but ALWAYS get an error, so it never completes. Of course the ipsw files where found using google because there isn't any links that work on Apple's site for previous iPhone software. If I try to restore to 3.1 right after that it goes through perfectly.
So it seems that Apple has locked out downgrading once you upgrade! All I want is my volume slider back. How can I get it back if 3.1 deletes it everytime and I can't go back to the previous operating system?
Thank you.

I too have had this exact same problem, except that I was running 3.0 and hadn't updated to 3.1. I put my ipod on the table overnight, after listening to it, and when I picked it up the next morning, theres no volume slider. I never even unplugged the headphones. Double clicking the home button while on the home screen would bring up the popup to skip songs, and there it says "Dock Connection" even though it not connected to a computer. Multiple reboots an no effect. I've tried different sets of headphones, to no effect. Its like the iPod isnt detecting them being plugged in. The worst part is i DO get sound in the headphones, but no volume control, and the sound level is turned really low. So the headphones ARE working.
I updated to 3.1 just now, and the problem has NOT been fixed. Theres no way anywhere in the settings to adjust the volume. Theres only a limit slider, so I have no way to turn up the volume loud enough to actually HEAR things.

I have ipod touch 1st gen and it will no longer detect that i have headphones in the headphone jack and so i cannot turn up my volume. Is there any way it can be fixed?

Have you tried:
- Reset the iPod. 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
