Ipod touch 2nd Gen connects to the internet and then quits

I have a 2nd gen Ipod touch that connects to the Internet and then it quits. I will then get the message the Ipod can not connect to the Internet.
I have a Linksys WTR 610n wireless router (I have upgraded to the new firmware). My Ipod worked fine for about almost 2 years and then it started dropping the connection. I am not sure if was as a result of upgrading the Ipod to 4.2.1. but things started to go bad right after. It will connect from anywhere from 1 min to 20min and quit.  I can't downgrade to a previous OS the Ipod because I don't have a previous version of the firmware. Also Apps and Apple remote will not connect to Itunes when the internet shuts down. The Ipod recognizes all of the wifi routers in the area and its shows that it connects but then still nothing works.
Sometimes it just says it won't connect to the server. I have tried no security, WEP WPA and WPA2.
I have also tried:
1) restoring my IPOD;
2) resetting the network settings;
3) rebooting the IPOD;
4) forgetting the network and renewing the network lease;
5) rebooting the router;
6) resetting the router;
7) upgrading the firmware of the router;
8) setting the router to "G" only;
9) setting the router to "N" only;
10) praying to Steve Jobs; and
11)
I think that is everything that I could find on the discussion or elseware. If any one knows how to fix this, I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks

My 2nd gen works fine with WPA2 and AES encryption.
You may need to go back and start over.  Reset the router back to factory defaults, log on as the admin, set up security, DHCP, and make sure the IP address pool has enough IP addresses to lease to ALL of the computers/devices that will connect to that the router.

  • After upgrading iPod Touch 2nd gen some apps sync over and others do not

    After upgrading my iPod Touch 2nd Gen to OS 3, skype and TextFree Unlimited sync over, but 9-Toolbox, Gas Cubby Lite, fring and TooDoo do not. They show up as installed in iTunes, but do not sync onto my iPod Touch. Is this because the apps themselves have not been updated to work on OS 3, or could there be a syncing problem?

    OK..last post on this item. I found this post by ipodtouchuder1517 that explains how to move your icons around, ie page 2 to 3, etc
    All is well again and I shall now resume checking out the new features my $10 purchased!
    Page 18 of the manual:
    "Customizing the Home Screen
    You can customize the layout of icons on the Home screen—including the Dock
    icons along the bottom of the screen. If you want, arrange them over multiple Home
    screens.
    Rearrange icons:
    1 Touch and hold any Home screen icon until the icons begin to wiggle.
    2 Arrange the icons by dragging them.

  • HT1338 Software Update can't connect to the update server. Make sure you're connected to the Internet, and then try again

    I have been getting this message on MAC OS 10.6.3  "Software Update can’t connect to the update server. Make sure you’re connected to the Internet, and then try again". Internet is working fine for everything else. Updating to 10.6.8 and applying all the security updates and patches [directly downloading from the apple website] has not resolved the issue. Read somewhere about a software update enabler for 10.6, installed it, but not helping.. [not sure of the update server settings to be entered] .Is there no way to make the software update work from the Apple Start Menu??

  • IPod Touch (2nd gen) not recognized by computer and iTunes

    When I connect my iPod Touch to my laptop, running Windows 7, neither the computer nor iTunes recognizes my iPod. Everything worked before with Vista.
    When I plug the iPod into the computer the iPod does turn on put the battery doesn't charge and the iPod does not show on the Device Manager.
    I have gone through and uninstalled and the reinstalled iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application support. With no positive result. In fact I have done it twice.
    In going back to make sure everything had installed I have noticed several things.
    The Apple Software Update, Bonjour, iTunes folders and Common Files are located in Program Files(x86) There are also copies of the Bonjour, iPod, Common Files, and iTunes folders are also located in the Program Files folder. Are these file locations correct?
    Also, I have read somewhere that there should be usbaapl.cab, usbaapl.inf, usbaapl.sys files. I can't find any of these file. Are these files necessary?
    Any help will be appreciated.

    greetings rkonrv and welcome to Apple discussions !
    it seems your have seen this KG then.
    maybe this tip by Beebopp (though a little off topic) will provide some pointers:
    +This solution is very similar to one above but worked for me. Am using iPod Touch 2nd Gen with 32 bit version of Windows Vista where the iTouch is being seen by Windows but does not show in iTunes. In my case it was being identified by Windows as a camera. I tried un-installing and re-installing iTunes and all the other Apple apps with no luck. Was almost ready to throw in the towel when I did one last search for alternate solutions and found the following instructions to reinstall the drivers, but instead of having the system look to the c:\Windows\inf or c:\windows\system 32 folders for the drivers, the path is changed to C:\program files\common files\Apple\Apple Mobile Support\Drivers, which is apparently where Vista installs the drivers. Once I changed the path the driver properly reflected the iTouch as a USB device, and not a digital camera. Try this if you are having similiar issues.+
    +Here are the steps:+
    +1. Verify you have the following files usbaapl.cat, usbaapl.inf & usbaapl.sys in the following directory "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers"+
    +2. Log in using an ADMINISTRATIVE account+
    +3. Single left click on START+
    +4. Single left click on RUN (You may need to change the start menu to 'classic view' to see RUN, you can change back after if you like)+
    +5. Type in " devmgmt.msc " then hit Enter (Don't type in the quotes)+
    +6. Look for Imaging in the Device Manager window, and click on plus sign (In Vista you may not see the "Imaging" option. Look under "Portable Devices" as an alternative)+
    +7. Now you should see " Apple iPod " as a device underneath Imaging (or Portable Devices)+
    +8. Right click on " Apple iPod " then single left click on Properties+
    +9. Single left click on the " Driver " tab+
    +10. Single left click on " Update driver "+
    +11. Select " Install from a list or specific location " or "Browse my computer" whichever shows on your version of Vista+
    +12. Single left click on " Include this location in the search " if shown+
    +13. Paste " C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers " (Don't type in the quotes) into the box " Include this location in the search "+
    +14. Single left click NEXT and keep clicking through until " Apple iPod USB Driver " is detected, if no list appears then you should see the little animated circle thingie spinning. It's looking and working. Be patient.+
    +15. Hopefully you will get a successful message.+
    +16. The correct drivers(s) are now installed.+
    +17. Start up iTunes, and see if you iPod is detected again.+
    good luck !

  • My ipod touch isn't connecting to the internet???

    The internet on my iPod touch has always worked, but today it's not connecting to anything. When I go to settings and then wi-fi it says it's connected to my internet but doesn't show at the top left bar and isn't working? I have tried turning it on and off, I've reset my network connection and have gone through the common wi-fi issues. This is really weird because it is actually connected to the internet but it's not working at all. Please help!

    - Have you tried 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.
    - Haveyou powered off and thenback on your router?

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: 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 your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network       
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • IPod Touch 2nd Gen - "One of the USB devices attached to this computer...

    Advance Happy Martin Luther King Day to all,
    Hi guys, I just got myself a 2nd Generation iPod Touch last December 2008. At first it really worked fine, I have never had any problem with it until today. early this morning when I was transferring a movie to my iPod, my PC froze, so what I did is pulled the USB attached to my iPod and I push the little button on my PC to restart it. Then after restarting, i tried to connect my iPod and it gave me an error saying
    "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it."
    I tried, restarting my computer, reinstalling my itunes, repairing my itunes, and still it always gives me the same response when I try to connect my iPod. At first I thought that maybe my USB port really has problems and so tried using other ports but it always give me the same results. I even tried to connect my digicam, PSP and webcam and those worked properly, I also tried to run a diagnostic thru my USB ports and it worked well saying that I do not have problems with my USB Ports.
    What will I do now? I tried reading here in apple support section but the only thing I found was for the iPod with the Wheel. Please help me fixing my problem.
    Thak you soooooooo much.

    I've been trying to fix my own iPod for a while. Different problem but I think this might help.
    Ultimately, if your computer HAS been able to recognise your iPod at one point, it's a driver problem.
    You didn't specify which OS you're using, but I'll assume it's Vista.
    This might help you:
    Download the new version of iTunes
    Save it somewhere on your computer
    UnZip the program using something like WinRAR or The Extractor
    In the folder, locate Apple Mobile Device and double click it
    Remove the program
    Restart your computer
    Re-install the program
    Connect your iPod
    Things should be working now. If not:
    Click Start
    Type Run in the search field
    Type "devmgmt.msc"
    Click OK if you are get a prompt
    Scroll to Universal Serial Buses and look for "Apple iPod" or "Apple Mobile Device USB" or something to that effect. (If it's not there it may be in Imaging Devices or Portable Devices)
    Right click
    Properties
    Click the Driver tab
    Click Driver Details
    Tell me what you see.

  • IPod touch won't connect to the internet.

    I am sharing the connection from my MacBook Pro 17", late 2007 (with Airport Extreme). I have an internet connection from a Verizon wireless usb modem. It has always worked before on my iPod touch 4g, when I was running iOS 4.3.4. However, I just updated to iOS 5.0.1, and now I can't load any webpages. If I set a password on the network (this has helped with problems before), the moment I connect on my iPod I have full connection strength - but I can't load webpages. If I don't set a password, it doesn't show a connection in the status bar (and, of course, I can't connect).
    I may try restoring from my 4.3.4 backup and reinstalling iOS 5.0.1 (my father suggests this).
    A few additional details which may or may not be relevant:
    - My 4.3.4 was on a tethered jailbreak
    - My iOS 5 is pwned and jailbroken, although I still have the original file.
    - My computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, although I may have updated to Lion by the time this discussion has finished.
    Hope you can help!
    Thanks in advance,
    SvenFjord

    Very common with iPod touch jailbreaks. The only way to fix it is to un-jailbreak it. There is something either wrong with the ipsw file or the jailbreaking tool. If you REALLY still want to ruin your ipod, I recommend redn0w. Just BEWARE that it will slow down your ipod by about 50%, and that you will experiance USB issues if jailbreaking iOS 5.0.1.

  • IPod Touch 2nd Gen (8gb) Loads to Apple symbol, then turns off, and repeats.

    Okay so I went into my settings to do a reset on the iPod Touch. I did the reset and now all the iPod does is load the the black screen with the Apple symbol, stay on for a few minutes, turn off, and repeat.
    When I connect the iPod to ANY computer with iTunes, it doesn't even show the iPod as connected. I honestly do not know what to do.
    Does anyone have a solution on how to fix this?

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Did you by chance not have the iPod connected to a charging source during the erase? It can take hours ao a 1G and 2G iPod and fully drain the battery before it is complete.

  • My ipod touch 4g is connected to the charger and it turns on but it wont charge

    So my ipod was low on battery and i wanted to charge it so i leave for 1 hour and i go and turn it on and it shows the "connect to power" screen and i disconnected the charger and reconnected it and it turned on but it didnt charge Please help!

    Reference: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2771
    Battery does not appear to charge
    Important: iPod touch cannot be charged with a FireWire-based power source.
    Verify that the power source being used is working properly.
    If connecting to a computer's USB port, verify it is a high-powered USB 2.0 port. Note: The USB ports on most keyboards don't provide enough power, so if you're connecting iPod touch to a keyboard, make sure it has a high-powered USB 2.0 port.
    Verify the computer is turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPod touch is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPod touch battery may drain.
    Try another USB port.
    Try charging from a USB charger if available.
    If that does not help, try another USB cable if available.
    Learn more about charging the battery.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
