IPod Touch - 4th Gen. Checked onto open WiFi but NO internet connection?

Hi, New Ipod Touch user. when I search for WiFi connection - open unlocked connections and find them, I click and select these but then when I go into safari; I get the "cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet message".
Is there something else I need to be doing - I am able to see a few open - unlocked WiFi networks even ones named Free Public WiFi at work, but, even with these click - I have no access to internet??

Have you tried the basic troubleshooting here:

Is it your router or is it a "free" wifi hot spot. For some free wifi you may have to do something. It depends upon the specific setup.
Have your :
- powered of and then back on the router:
- Reset network settings on the iPod:
Settings>General>Reset
- Have you reset your iPod:
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.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    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:

  • My Ipod touch 4th gen shows up under devices but will not let me sync to it.

    I am using windows XP with the newest updates.  I have itunes 10.5 currently installed on the computer.  My ipod does not have the newest ios software on it.  When I plug my Ipod up, it opens itunes and loads it under devices correctly.  Since i don't currently have an internet connection the itunes store tries to open and I close the box out, which it gives me an error that "the itnunes store could not be connected, check cable connections and try again".  A white screen is visibile with the word "Ipod" in the middle on the right side.  My Ipod at this point is still visible under devices, but can not sync to it; under file the sync to ipod command is grayed out, unable to be clicked on.  The ipod connect and synced perfect with itunes 9 before upgrade to 10.5.  Any suggestions to fix this problem would be great.

    Figured the problem out.  I had to be hooked up to the internet the first time that I hooked my Ipod touch up so that I could register it through the Itunes store.  Since I got the newest Itunes 10.5, it requires that I register the Apple product first.  Now with the internet unplugged I can plug my Ipod touch into the computer and sync it up like I normally do.

  • Ipod touch 4th gen appears as a device, but will not sync or update to ios 6

    If anyone can help it would be much appreciated!
    itunes on my computer has the up to date software, just my ipod that doesn't.
    i've tried updating it by connecting it to the computer, and just on the ipod itself, neither work.
    and it won't sync when connected

  • Ipod Touch 4th Gen with iOS 6 syncs but music library does not.  Why?

    Hello all. Everything else on the iPod (that I have used) is working fine.
    I have tried restarting my computer, iTunes, iPod, re-routing the directory and syncing again.  Nothing has worked.  I have even tried selecting only certain artists and nothing.  I am about to revert back to the old iOS on my iPod, but before I do, does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks for your time!

    - You do have the volume set all the way up?
    - Have you tried another pair of headphones/do the headphone work in other devices?
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the headphone plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:
    - 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.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. It seems yo have a hardware problem, likely a bad headphone jack.

  • How can I transfer music from my iPod Touch 4th Gen back onto my PC?

    I accidentally deleted my iTunes Library file today and when I add all of my music back on it has music I don't want on it and none of my playlists are there (There are over 1000 songs on my computer and I only want about 200 of them). I thought that I could use all of the files from my iPod and put them onto my PC. After a while searching I couldn't find a way and have resorted to here. I'd prefer not to download separate software or redownload my files because my internet is painfully slow at the moment (0.8mbps). I just want a quick and easy way to put all of my stuff from my iPod back onto my computer. It's stupid how Apple make it so easy to put music onto the iPod but make it impossible to do the opposite. (Stupid industry standard safety, eBay and Amazon haven't even got this much security!). My iPod is running IOS 6.1.3 and my PC is Microsoft (much much much much.... better then Apple ) Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Thanks!

    For non-Tunes purchases yo need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

  • Stolen Ipod touch 4th Gen, no ICloud or wifi, can you track it?

    Sorry, no.

  • How do I restore the IOS 6 version of GarageBand on my Ipod Touch 4th Gen?

    Does anyone else have this problem? 
    I was trying to clear some memory space on my Ipod Touch 4th Gen 8GB.  I uninstalled GarageBand to get rid of the pesky Document & Data files.  Then I was going to reinstall it.  But when I did, the Itunes App Store downloaded the current IOS7 version.  My device was not updated to IOS7, and the lastest app will not install on it. 
    Is there a way to get the IOS6 version of GarageBand to upload to my Ipod Touch 4th Gen at this point?  I feel kind of robbed.  I bought the app with the view that it would be good for the life of the device, not be invalidated when the next big IOS upgrade came around.  I have had this problem with a few other apps, but this app I use a lot.
    Thanks for any help.

    no I don't because my computer has been reinstalled fully since any of the old backups were done and even so, apps are stored in the itunes folders and not the backup files of the device. I have tried to contact apple/itunes and they don't want to know because I won't upgrade to a newer ipod touch that supports ios 7. I like my ipod touch 4th gen even though the wifi is damaged beyond repair. This is the way things are and big companies like apple expect people to upgrade to keep up with the latest version but the reality is that people don't because of the cost of the new devices.
    I'll just have to deal with the fact that I cannot use it to read while on the bus/train any more. Ipod touch 4g is now just a music player/basic camera.

  • Can't sync iPod Touch 4th Gen after updating to IOS 6.0

    I've updated my 64GB iPod Touch 4th Gen to IOS 6.0, but now I can’t sync it with iTunes.
    It connects OK, but iTunes isn’t detecting what is already there - it thinks it is full of 48MB of “Other” (rather than music, apps, photos, etc.). In other words iTunes isn’t detecting what is already on the iPod properly (it just knows it’s nearly full of something).
    So if I try to sync, iTunes thinks it needs to add all my music, etc. again, and therefore says it’s way over capacity (i.e. 48MB of “other” + 48 MB of all my music, etc.).
    Help! Any suggestions?

    However. sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility. In that case you will have to wait for a firmware update to either the care system or the iPod.

    Never mind, got it to work. I stumbled around on Google for a while and somehow ended up reading things from the 'jailbroken' community. They had easy instructions to get out of Recovery mode. Thanks anyway though!
    P.S. For anyone who experiences this, here is the fix: Hold Power and Home in unison for 6 seconds, then power on as normal.
