IPod Touch 2nd Gen causes my 9100EM Router To Reboot

I just got FiOS last week. At first we (my wife, the verizon techs, and I) thought I had a defective modem as it kept rebooting every few minutes and sometimes twice in a minute. They replaced it and it has been great for the past couple of days. Tonight, my wife tries to sign on to the internet on her iPod touch and all of a sudden the router rebooted again. I let it finish booting and connecting, I then had her try to go to another webpage on her iPod and as soon as she hit go the router rebooted. Has anyone else come across this or have any ideas why this would happen. It seems crazy to me. Before FiOS I was running off a good 'ol Linksys WRT54G with no problems.
The security I have in place for the wireless is WPA w/TKIP.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm a systems engineer by trade and this even has me stumped.
Solved!

I do not have any ideas what would be causing your iPod to crash the Router, but I do have a work around.
You can use your Linksys in addition to the Westell.
I have the same configuration (Linksys WRT54G), except with the Verizon Actiontec Router.
The simplest way would be as follows:
Assuming that your Westell is configured with an internal address of 192.168.1.1, configure the Linksys so that it has an Local Address of 192.168.1.2. You will also want to disable the DHCP Server on the Linksys and change it from Gateway Mode to Router Mode.
The Westell will remain as the Primary Router, which is 100% supported by Verizon.
Logon to the Westell and turn off the Wireless Portion.
Connect Lan Port 1 of the Westell to Lan Port 1 of the Linksys. You can still use the other 3 ports of the Westell if needed.
All other devices can be connected to the Linksys and your wireless connectivity and security will be thru the Linksys.

Email access on Ipod Touch 2nd gen 8G

I have an iPod Touch 2nd gen 8G. I've set up my gmail and hotmail accounts on it, both of which work fine at home (unsecured wireless). However, I couldn't get either one of them work in my office (secured wireless). I could, however, manage to get access to internet in my office. Is it possible that firewall setting on company's server has caused this? If yes, is there any way to get around?

I have the same issue, but w .mac acct. I want to be able to seemlessly transition from home to work and be able to send & recieve email on ipod touch.
Work has firewall beyond wifi router. Is this the issue? If so, what info do I need from IT guy to input to make it work?

I am moving my iTunes to a new laptop (from XP to 7). I can sync my iPod Classic but my iPod Touch 2nd Gen freezes.

Hi,
I have an old laptop running WinXP Home SP3 with iTunes 10.2x installed. I sync my old iPod Classic120GB and a newer iPod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB. I recently bought a new laptop with Windows 7 Pro. I am moving everything to the new one. I did not have a problem with the old iPod. But when I tried to sync the Touch it just freezes while trying to backup the existing contents. I have read a few support docs and have tried some of them where I have to tweak some of Window's Admin tools. I have also uninstallled and installed iTunes. There are so many things to try in the troubleshooting steps that I can't really figure out which is which. I also can't backup the contents of my current iPod Touch by attaching the device and right-clicking on it. The Backup context menu just isn't there.
I currently have iTunes v10.3x and I need some "serious" help. :-) I did the Run Diagnostic with the device attached. I looked at the report and saw something that might be the cause. I am running iTunes not as the administrator. But if I try to run it as an admin, the Library is now different and I'm just "scared" to screw things up some more.
Thank you.
Horace
P.S. Should I send the diagnostic report? Is it safe? If not what info should I exclude? Thanks.

" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

Why is my wifi on my ipod touch 2nd gen not working?

Can someone help with the wifi on my ipod touch 2nd Gen? Yesterday it suddenly stopped connecting to anything wifi. No settings were changed. The only thing I did was go to itunes for the first time in well, forever. I always use it on my computer to go in itunes, not my ipod. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I could still get on Safari after that but I don't really remember. At some point in the evening it stopped connecting. I can't get on Safari, my mail won't refresh, it would connect to the app store, nothing. Sometimes a message does pop up saying there was a problem connecting to the server. I can't figure this out, internet on my computer is running perfectly fine. My ipod wifi is on, airplane mode off. When I go into my settings it shows my network and that it's connected. I haven't connected it or synced it to the new itunes. I actually haven't downloaded the update yet. Ipod is up to date though without the new sync. Can anyone help me out? I'm very confused.
Thanks

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Try:
- 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.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

IPod touch 2nd gen will not open in iTunes. Ideas?

I upgrading the latest version of iTunes and I went to sync my iPod touch 2nd gen to get my latest podcasts and it would not sync or even recognize in iTunes. My PC recognizes the drive. But iTunes is a no go. I suspected it was just the latest version of iTunes so I downgraded back to the previous version and got the same results. I've switched USB ports, cables and have restarted numerous times. I even uninstalled the device from the device manager but nothing is working. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

IOS5 on iPod Touch 2nd Gen

Will it ever happen, or is my iPod Touch 2nd Gen now just a useless hunk of junk that won't work with modern apps, which all seem to need iOS5?

Guys like you crack me up, really....
I mean c'mon... Do you really expect Apple or any other company to spend money to support obsolete technology? Do you think that Ford, GM, or any car makers still have parts for cars made in the 1920's? Its the same thing with personal electronics with one HUGE exception: Personal electronics become obsolete much, much faster than cars do.
And what's really sad is that it is obvious to the most casual observer than guys like you don't have the time or the inclination to actually do any research before you whip out the plastic, and its also obvious that because you don't have the tiniest inkling as to how quickly technology changes, you get all bent out of shape when you finally realize that you are behind everyone else.
Oh, and while we are talking about obsolete stuff, I have a 30gig 5th gen iPod Video, a 2nd gen Touch and a 30 gig Zune, all of which I resurrected from the dead. They all work fine and not one is currently supported by their manufacturers.
I also have a 32 gig 4th Gen Touch and an iPhone 4. The 30 gig iPod gets used in my truck, I use the Zune when I ride my Harley Sportster so I can listen to FM radio when I want to, the 32 gig Touch goes with my touring trike 'cause I use a Griffin FM transmitter to stream through the bike's FM stereo, and I use the iPhone for making phone calls..
Now really, isn't technology, even if it is obsolete, just freakin' wonderful?

IPod Touch 2nd Gen can stream Youtube but cannot stream Apps that supports Online Streaming , it just kicks itself out of the app

IPod Touch 2nd Gen Video Out Problem with Apple Component Cable

I'm trying to get video out working with my iPod touch connected to my TV. Here's the information.
32 GB iPod Touch 2nd Gen
Apple Universal Dock (current version.)
Apple Component Out cable for iPod (current version that connects with a dock connector.
I've connected the component cables into the component video input on my TV. When I start playing any video (purchased off iTunes store in Standard Def,) I get a scrambled picture that appears to be the video, and no sound. I purchased the TV in South Korea and haven't gotten to test it yet on a TV back in the US. I have my video out settings with wide screen turned off and set to NTSC (South Korea uses NTSC.) I've also tried every setting combination, and switching the cable connections with the same or similar results. Sorry if a similar problem has been posted elsewhere, but after searching, I couldn't find any similar behavior. Any ideas on what might be the cause? I don't have any other component devices to check if the component on the TV is bad.

I've got that same problem: iPod Touch 2nd Gen, Apple Component Cables, and an HD TV.
The funny thing is, the cable works fine with an iPod Classic (160 GB) but not for the iPod Touch. Can anyone explain why that is?

iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests

IPod touch 2nd Gen 8gb will no longer Sync photos.

all the posts I could find that were similar had to do with ipods that were jailbroken and on Windows.
I have iTunes 10.1, iPhoto 6.0.6. running on OSX 10.6.5
iPod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB OS 4.2.1
The Problem: Since I got 4.0 and later, I have not been able to sync photos from iphoto. itunes says that it is, the bar moves and says all photos have been synced, all the photos I want synced are checked in itunes and still nothing when I check them on my ipod. iPod says no photos in album. I tried deleting the ipod cache on my mac, nothing. I tried syncing to a single file folder with the same photos, same. I tried exporting all the photos I wanted synced to a separate folder to jpg and smaller resolution, same result, no photos on ipod.
Note. the photos used to sync up until 4.0
I have also tried starting from scratch and putting it back to factory defaults then going from backup. Same result.
I have tried rebooting both iMac and iPod, same thing.
and I hate how I can't just email apple and tell them the problem.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I just can't seem to find anyone else with the same problem.
Thanks in advance for the possible help.

I dont get an error message at all. itunes just does its normal business when syncing and says its synced, but no photos. I have never tried mobile me, so I dont think my problem is connected. I dont have $300 to get a new ipod. this makes me sad.

HT4972 previously used apps won't work after system restore?ipod touch 2nd gen.?

My son forgot his passcode so I had to restore his ipod touch, 2nd gen. After the restore, many of his apps no longer work. He had Netflix, Facebook, Angry Birds. They now all say they require ios 4.3 or 5.0. Does anyone know how to get these apps back on his ipod? thanks!

Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

My ipod touch 2nd gen has 2.2 and everything you try and do download says it has to have 4.2.1 but when i try to put that on it it says it cant be played on the ipod how do i update the IOS

my ipod touch 2nd gen has 2.2 IOS on it it wont let me do anything everything i try says it needs 4.2.1 to download i have tried putting 4.2.1 on it and it says it can not play on this ipod how do i get the IOS updated to something that allows me to download

Are you sure you have a 2G iPod? A 2G can go to IOS 4.2.1 via:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
However, a 1G can only go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and 3.1 via:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
Identifying iPod models

My Game Center won't work on my iPod touch 2nd Gen. It let me sign up but it won't load any of my games and won't let me play with my friends. I don't know why? Any help?

My ipod touch 2nd Gen let me sign up to game center but it won't load any of my games and won't let me play with my friend. I don't know if it's like this because it is old and slow, or what. Please help me figure this out. Thank You.

Try:
- Sign out of Game Center and sign back in
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I just replaced my ipod touch 2nd gen with another how can i get my itunes back

i just replaced my ipod touch 2nd gen with the same model and cant seem to get my iyunes back

Don't understand question, Changing iPod shouldn't affect iTunes on the computer you sync with. Plug in new iPod, it should take you through some screens of options asking how you want to setup the new iPod.
Just did this when going from 7+ year old iPod video to iPod Touch 5th gen.

How do I transfer my current iTunes Library for a 5th gen. Nano to a used iPod touch 2nd gen.?

I was given a used iPod touch 2nd. gen because my old faithful 5th generation nano was tragically washed. But I'm scared to just plug the new one into my computer to see what happens. I want to make sure I don't lose all of the music I have on my nano. Anyone know how to do this?

Not sure what you are atlaking about.
Lose what mui from what ipod.
Your music should be on your computer. Sync it to your ipod.
