IPod Touch 5 - problem with open wi-fi

Hello there I really hope that you can help me!
So I can't use the Internet when I want to use an open wi-fi though my iPod clearly shows me that I'm connected. When I'm connected with an encrypted wi-fi the Internet works perfectly. It just won't work with open ones - I can open Facebook (for example) but it won't load or update. Any things that I can do so that I can finally use open wi-fi's?
Ps. When there's an open wi-fi like in MC Donald's where you just need to "sign in" then everything works perfectly as well. Just not with these were there's no password or signing in..
Hopefully someone can help me with this?
Cheers,

Then it is likely that "these" hotspots require a browser that uses Flash or Java which iOS devices like the iPod touch do not support.  You have to ask people who administer those hotspots or Google to find out if/how you can connect.

  • Syncing to ipod touch - problems with authorizing pc

    I'm a newbie to Apple and love my iPod touch, I've been downloading apps and movies etc without issue.  Then last week it stopped saying I need to authorise my pc, it has removed all iPod content back to the library and I can't download anything at all now.
    Nothing has happened to my pc, although I have backed all up and uninstalled/reinstalled and also put the ipod back to factory settings
    I have 2 pcs authorized from viewing my account, but I can't get it to sync - any ideas?
    I can download anything from the iTunes store, so my account is fine, it is just this sync issue.

    Thanks for the reply Illaas, my answers are below:
    Have you tried deauthorizing the computer and then authorizing it?
    -         Yes – I can de-authorize it, then when I try toauthorize again I get ‘We could not complete your iTunes Store request.  The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable.Please try again later’
    Does iTunes say it is authorized? If you go to the Itunes Store on youcomputer the account will be list in the black bar in the right upper part ofthe screen.
    -         iTunes recognises my account and is displayed on theblack bar - yes
    Do you have more than one iTunes account?
    -         no
    Is the iPod signed in the iTunes account.  To check go toSettings>Store.
    -         No it is not, so there should be no conflict
    I am a little confused when yo say it stopped asking you to authorize thecomputer.  It should only ask once and then when you authorize it you willno longer get the message..
    -         Everytime I want to sync the iPod it tells me it cannottransfer any content from my library saying:
    -         ‘Some of the items in the iTunes library (mentions theitem). Were not copied to the iPod “the name of my ipod” because you are notauthorised for them on this computer.  Toauthorise this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store> Authorise This Computer.”  When Iclick ok and the go to Store > Authorise This Computer I get the message ‘Wecould not complete your iTunes Store request.  The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable.Please try again later’  This is aconstant loop I am in, so feel that Apple need to reset my account somehow.
    Also look here and the related articles listed on the left side of thefollowing:
    About iTunesStore authorization and deauthorization
    -         Thanks I’ve been through all of this and changed theaccount settings and deleted the SC folder as detailed.

  • Ipod Touch Problem with Internet at home, Wi-Fi & Vista

    I just bought an I Pod Touch 32G 2nd Generation. I work on a Vista PC. I synced my Ipod and everything seemed to work. When I first tried to connect to the internet at home I did make a connection, but still couldn't use mail or safari or anything.
    I share my wireless internet with my neighbour. He works on a Mac. When comparing my Ipod to his, he found out that I did have the right password, but the IP address was totally different to our router. He synched my Ipod with his Mac en then it worked just fine.
    But since I cannot make my Itunes library on my neighbours Mac, I had to sync my Ipod to my computer again. Then I was not able to connect to the internet anymore. It does seem to recognize the password, but it says it can't connect (but not why).
    We have WEP, and I have the latest Software installed (since I have it only 2 days). What can I do to connect to the internet? (apart from buying a Mac that is)

    normaly wifi routers are setup to being hdcp servers which mean that
    the ipod and computers really
    gets the ip when they connect to the router over wifi
    along with their dns gateway and proxy settings
    if your router is very different setup and your ipod somehow get
    it's ip from the last computer it synced with
    maybe thats the thing to look into
    because if your vista box give it some garbage ip outside the normal subnet
    of routers network and the router dont have dhcp turned on to give it a valid
    ip that could cause all your problems
    maybe the mac have it's internet sharing turned on and thats why after being connected with it the ip it got is not a crazy one

  • Another New IPod Touch Owner with Wi-fi Problems

    Another New IPod Touch Owner with Wi-fi Problems.
    I have been working at this for about 4 hours now with no success and I am getting pretty frustrated, so if it show up in my typing please ignore it. I just don't understand why these multi-million dollar companies can't write a manual or put up a web site that can actually help someone with a problem.
    Ok, venting aside.
    I am running a gateway computer.
    Operating System = XP
    Router = Linksys WRT54G
    I have two other computers that are working fine with the existing wireless net work and have been for some time.
    I'm pretty good with my computer but haven't touched my router since initial set-up and all that was done was a basic set up.
    My I-pod is searching for a network and I'm three feet away from it but it doesn't find it.
    I printed out my wireless setting. I presume SSID name equals the name box on the ipod-touch
    Security = WEP
    What seems to be kicking my A$$ is the password. The route setting have never been changed so I would pesume the password should be the default "admin" which I put in (JOIN) and get the "Could not find network" screen
    So, I have perused this message board trying to discover and answer to mine, and and apparently many others question with no definitive results.
    So I guess what I and everybody else needs is a step by step how to guide on how to discover the info needed and enter in what we need to make this work.
    Thanks in advance to anybody that can actually help with this issue. A step by step do this would be nice.

    Thank you Terpfen for replying, and please excuse my ill temper earlier. I've calmed down some now.
    Step: 1 followed step one previously, Main screen, settings, Wi-Fi. Also set power down to 5 min to give I-Pod plenty of time to find network.
    Wi-Fi Network Screen.
    Wi-Fi ON
    Choose a Network (searching indicator) symbol spinning.
    Other ...
    Ask to Join Networks ON
    At this point the I-pod does not find any networks available. The indicator just spins but never returns any results. I am 3 feet for my WRT54G router.
    Hence the easy connect isn't connecting.
    The next step. is to manually set-up the connection.
    Main screen, setting, Wi-Fi, Other.
    press "Other" which brings up two fields
    Name __________
    Security ___________
    First Question? Which Name are they looking for. when I went to my router 192.168.1.1 It has the name linksys. However, when I go to my Wireless Network setting it has the name * ???? * which is different than Linksys router.
    Now, since one of the goals here is file sharing I presume I should be using the Wireless Network settings name. (which I have tried.)
    Next is security, Wireless Network setting indicate setting for WEP Once this is selected you then back-up to the "Enter Network Setting Screen" and you now have a password line added.
    Now I have never set a password for the router so the password for the router is the default Password "admin" And I don't recall ever setting a password for my network setting. But, I only use about three different passwords and a cycled through them still with no success.
    So, I need some expert advise on how and where to find the info to input into the required field to work or what I need to reset in my router to make this work.
    Thanks again for anyone who has constructive input to resolve my and probably many other peoples issues with this problem.

  • The Music app on my ipod touch will not open?

    The Music app on my ipod touch will not open, it loads but the sceen is always blank and then closes the music app and goes back to my list of apps.. what do i do? any ideas?

    I have the same problem since a couple days ago, I will try to refrain from swearing or slagging on Apple, got a few questions for you, Gerbrandt, or anyone else who's had this problem and worked around it by means of a 3rd party app:
    1-Since using panamp have you used your ipod in any docks successfully? (ex: I have a JVC car deck, a Klipsch dock and the Yamaha dock for my home theatre, all will be worthless if I can't resurrect my iPod as a music player)
    2-Has using panamp done anything to help the original Apple music app to work or has it stayed dead?
    3-Do you have any smart playlists?  Like others with the 64GB model I have many many songs (that's the WHOLE point of the large capacity iPod, isn't it?) and I found that the more smart playlists I had the worse the apple music app behaved back when it was still working.
    I'll check out panamp tonight, hopefully that will stop me from curb-stomping my iPod.
    Anyone know whether an Apple "genius" has access to any sort of debugging facilities that would make it worth visiting the store for help on this matter?  (ex: if they have root access to check for corrupt song database, or debug logs of some sort, or can do any direct manipulation of commands over the dock connector).
    It sure would be nice to know why this happens, I have about 14,000 songs locked in iTunes now and many hours of time invested in ripping my CD collection but I don't want to buy a replacement iPod only to have this happen to it too.  It's annoying enough the 4 hours it takes to resynch after a system restore (which in the end did nothing to resolve the original issue).

  • Suddenly my iPod touch can not open any app.. at all

    Hi. All off a sudden, my iPod touch won't open any downloaded apps from iTunes store. It was functioning normally, but without any clear reason (i didn't do anything to my iPod) suddenly no apps will open. When I click an icon, the menu zooms out and the app opens, but only for one second or so. Then suddenly it returns to the menu, and the menu did not animate this time. I tried holding the menu button, not working. Holding menu + power, problem not fixed. Syncing with iTunes, still same problem. I don't want to delete my apps by erasing iPod because there is important data in "WritePad", a sort of notes app. What should I do?

    Yes, I reset via the Ipod... then via Itunes, downloaded new Ipod software, deleted apps, then ALL apps, then downloaded the apps again, then dowloaded a different NEW app... Still NOTHING works! Why is this doing this in the FIRST place! I spent $400 for this, and now the apps work, and it's MY fault because I don't stand on one foot, hold the correct finger on my nose, point my left ear in the direction of the North Star and whistle the correct tune? Why doesn't this thing just RUN the APPS? (Sorry, but it's a little frustrating to spend hours poring over solutions to a problem, try them all, then ask if there IS a solution, and be asked if I've tried all the solutions I've already tried!) My LAST problem was not being able to get the email set up, calling up Apple support and listening while the support person did a search in these forums for answer (which I had already done!)

    Resolve communication issues
    Check the hosts file or TCP/IP filtering, which might cause communication issues between iTunes, ports, and servers.

  • Brand new Ipod touch G4 with sound only in one earbud

    I have a brand new Ipod touch G4 with sound only in one earbud.  I have tried different types of headphones, but get the same result.  If I jiggle the connector pin, I can get sound on both earbuds, but only on one side when the connector pin is push all the way in.
    I have an older Ipod g4 without this problem
    any suggestions?

    Try on your ipod going to Settings-General-Accessibility. Scroll down into Hearing and see that Mono Audio is off. Maybe that's the problem.

    In more specific terms. The apps that came on the iPod like the weather and maps and whatnot have been working flawlessly. It's just when I download an app and then disconnect from wifi it's almost like I'm on a timer until the app stops working. It acts like it wants to open, the screen flashes black then resets to the home pages. I've tried all of the basic fixes, rebooting, reseting, uninstalling then reinstalling. But like in my...long...question, the reinstalling option only seems to be a temporary fix. I just recently downloaded the 5.1.1 udate (I think that's what it was) does that have anything to do with it, or am I just derpy when it comes to iPods?

  • IPod touch 3g with 2g charger

    I've been trying to find a charger suitable for my third generation 32GB iPod touch, and while I've found many that are compatible with the 2nd generation iPod touch (and say nothing about 3rd generation iPods on the box), those I've tried have worked strangely. The iPod does charge, however when my iPod is connected and I try to type, using any application, some keys I didn't touch are written as if I had, and the touch interface in general works in a bit of a weird manner.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Is there any risk in using a 2nd generation iPod touch charger with my 3rd generation iPod touch? Do I have to use a charger specifically designed for my iPod?

    A charger for a 2G Touch will work fine for a 3G ... there was a charging change between the 1st and 2nd generations, but not between 2nd and 3rd.
    Your touch screen issues are very likely something else, nothing to do with your charger as long as it was designed for iPod.
