IPod Touch - 4th Gen - iOS 6 - Unable to Connect to Qwest WiFi

I'm not totally certain this is the place or section to send in a complaint, but in my frustrated rush I will post here regardless.
I have never had any problems connecting to my modem. Until just yesterday.
I left to to go work, and came home to find that my iPod was not receiving a connection from my modem any longer.
I tried connecting my WiFi again only to get the message, "Unable to connect to this network".
I then restarted my modem, left it off for about an hour and then powered it back on. No change.
I've restarted my iPod, Reset Network settings, turned WiFi on and off and it still sends me the same message.
My roomate also has the same problem with his iPod.
I would love input, help, and suggestion from anyone who has either had this problem or knows exactly how to fix it.
Again, this problem DID NOT occur until yesterday afternoon at around 3pm (PST)
Thanks in advance for any helpful advice that will be given.

this would be the correct place
https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipod/ipod_touch
apart from that I would make it forget the wifi network and then readd it
if that did not help I would update the firmware of the wifi 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

Location Service Problem! I Moved To A New House, and Used The Same Wifi, But My iPod Touch(4th Gen. iOS 6) Is Still Using My Old Location/Address and Not My New One, How Do I Fix This?

I Moved From New York To Florida, But Kept The Same WiFi/Router, But The Maps App and My iPod Touch(4th Gen. & iOS 6) Is Still Registering My Location In New York.

For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds

IPod Touch 4th Gen - iOS 5 problems?

I'm sure I'm the ONLY person in the WORLD having issues, but ever since I updated my 4th gen iPod touch to iOS 5 I have regular sync problems, it is slow to respond when coming out of the screen locked position and it for some reason when it did decide to sync it sync'ed stuff in my iTunes that was not checked. I know that I'm an iIdiot, but is there ANYONE else on Earth experiencing similar difficulties? Is it possible to roll back the OS to the previous release?
I appreciate any and all comments.
Regards,
Frustrated in Fairless Hills

Not like you quite but I can empathize.
When I loaded iOS 5 onto my ipod Touch (5th gen I think) i suddenly lost space to "others" about 5Gb which is significant on a 32Gb ipod.
I had to do a complete reset through itunes and now I have loaded back about 150 songs of 5000 in about 2 hours.... I am flying to Australia tomorrow morning I onder what I will have to listen to !!!

"Facetime failed" messages on my iPod Touch (4th gen, iOS 5)

I have a 4th gen iPod touch running on iOS 5 and I can't connect with anyone on FaceTime. I've tried calling friends on their iPhones (using their phone number) and friends on their iPod Touches (using their email address) and each time, I get a "facetime falied" message. I've tried turning FaceTime off/on again, but it still won't work. I've also reset my iPod touch and it still won't work. I also get the "not delivered" message when I try to contact my friends through iMessage. My wifi network is very strong and I can connect on Skype, yahoo messenger and many other apps that need an internet connection without any problems. Any suggestions?

UPDATE: I changed the DNS server settings to Google's DNS (8.8.8.8) and now I can send/receive messages from other people's iMessage accounts, but where I was able to send/receive messages from myself, I'm no longer able to. It's now working at 95%, but I'd like to have it at 100%. Any suggestions or advice?

IPod Touch 4th Gen. iOS 5.1.1 - Sleep Mode and Other Questions

Hello,
I have an iPod Touch 4th generation with iOS 5.1.1
1) RE: Sleep Mode - I found this on another thread and it's regarding iOS 4.3.1.
Is the same still true for iOS 5.1.1?
If so, what is recommended for sleep mode - Airplane mode or Wi-Fi off - or is either one ok?
Wi-Fi is always ON with the 4th generation model running 4.3.1 when it is sleeping unless you either turn off the Wi-Fi or turn Airplane mode ON.
2) I only use my iPod Touch on my home Wi-Fi and do not use any cloud based syncing or iTunes Wi-Fi Sync. I do all my syncing manually from my MacBook Pro via USB to the iPod Touch. The way I do things is purchase what I need from my MacBook Pro via iTunes and then manually sync it to the iPod Touch. But there may be times, in the future, where I would want to purchase directly from the iPod Touch.
I recently updated my AppleID with my new email address via my MacBook Pro. But, I noticed that on my iPod Touch under "Settings" "Store" that it still shows my old AppleID. I have all Automatic Downloads set to OFF. How do I update the iPod Touch to reflect my new AppleID?
3) When I'm using Safari and I navigate to several websites, how do I easily get back to my home page (which is set to Yahoo!)?
Probably a dumb question but I can't seem to figure it out. I've set Yahoo! to my homepage but I would think there should be or is (and can't find it) a button/icon like on my MacBook Pro Safari to take me directly back to the homepage.
Thanks in advance for the help!

- Unless you use bluetooth, airplane mode and wifi off are the same as regards to battery drain. I like use airplane mode sinc that is directly under Settings.
- Go to Settngs>Store and sign out of existing account and sign in with the updated one
- I have no idea for the Safari question

Ipod touch 4th gen ios 7

I got my ipod touch fourth gen 2 months ago and its already considered outdated.I was wondering if i could trade it in towards a 5th gen.

Apple will only give you a 10% recycling discount if you turn in an old iPod when you purchase a new one. Better off selling it yourself.

My ipod touch 4th gen is telling me to connect to itunes, but itunes said that they can't connect to it until I put my password in, but I can't because of the stupid message

My ipod touch 4th generation has recently been telling me I need to connect to iTunes (i think). It has a symbol with a chord, and an arrow above it pointing to the iTunes logo. So I re-downloaded itunes, and I plugged it in to my computer. It told me that iTunes couldn't connect to my iPod because it is password-locked, so I have to put in my password. But I can't do it because of the stupid picture on the screen! I tried turning the iPod on and off, I've looked up and down the internet, etc. etc. The thing I thought might actually help was to put it in recovery mode, but I've tried that too, although the instructions weren't very clear on the apple website and I doubt the way it told me could have worked anyways. I NEED HELP QUICK!!!!!
If anyone could find a video on youtube telling us how to put it in recovery mode, that would be awesome too, but solving this quandary would be better.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
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 4th gen iOS 6.0.1 keeps crashing

Hello
My iPod keeps crashing when I open certain apps, like the App Store and also a magazine that I subscribe to that has its own app. I have to close all the open apps and then do a reset (hold down both on/off switch and the home button).
This solves the problem, but it's frustrating to have to do it every couple of days.
Any idea what the problem is?
- too many apps "open"?
- iOS 6.0.1 running on a 4th generation iPod Touch?
- too many apps on my device? (I have 2.8 GB free of 32 GB total)
- something else?
Any suggestions/advice/information will be appreciated.

Try:
- 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.
- 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. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

IPod Touch 4th Gen (iOS ver 6.1.3) wifi cuts in and out. No other devices affected.

It was fine up until a few days ago when I noticed the wifi turning off while asleep (I was missing many notifications). Yesterday I noticed the wifi coming and going under normal use (in the middle of messages, checking weather, looking on Facebook, etc).
I've done the following to no avail:
Turned device off and on.
Turned wifi off and on.
Renewed lease.
Forget network and rejoin.
Turn wifi off and on.
Reset network settings.
Nothing is helping and it's frustrating trying to keep in touch with my family (via Facetime and iMessage) when the wifi doesn't stay on long enough to send a short message. My home button doesn't work, so I haven't been able to try and restart that way (holding home and power button simultaniously).
Also, my iPod is the only device in my home that is affected. My laptop, 3DS, and Wii, as well as my roommate's laptop, iPhone, iPad Mini, and PS3 are unaffected. These devices are all usually used at the same time and we've never had an issue before (even when friends bring over their devices).
Any help would be appreciated, as for this thing is the main way I keep in touch with my family (they all live out of town).

Did you power off and then back on the router?
Have you tried different locations since maybe interference is causing the problem.
Does it happen when connected to other networks?
- 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. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
