IPod Touch: Can't Get Wireless To Work

I have a new iPod Touch. I have a Linksys WAP54G (Wireless Access Point) hooked to a Linksys BEFSR41 (Cable/DSL Router) fed by an Alcatel DSL modem using an AT&T DSL 6.0 connection. My wireless network is security enabled with a 10-digit wireles network key. My iPod Touch recognizes the newtork, accepts the network key, and confirms a signal from the access point. But, the iPod Touch will not connect to anything (Safari, YouTube, Google, etc.). When I look at the IP Address in the iPod Touch, it starts with "169".
What do I need to do to get my iPod Touch to work with my wireless network? Thanks. Help is appreciated.

I've used the Reset Network Settings feature in my iPod Touch after every failed attempt to connect to my wireless network. I've also reset the wireless access point and router after making changes to them.
It appears that my Touch is finding the wireless network, accepting the security password/key, and connecting to the wireless access point and router (I get a full signal on the strength indicator). However, the Touch appears to be acquiring the IP Address automatically, right? Thus, it gets the IP Address starting with "169". If I can manually set up the TCP/IP settings, I believe I can get it to connect. Is there a way to set up the TCP/IP settings manually?

New iPod Touch, Can't get iTunes to work, extra headaches

Hello,
This is my first day in the Apple world: I caved and thought it would be good to get a new mp3/video player after my last one died. I ended up getting a 4th Gen Black iPod Touch - not sure if the color matters, but why not?
Anyway, my second problem (first being the weird packaging, of tape through plastic then stuck on) started with iTunes: the thing just would NOT download. Every time I tried, the website kept saying "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to completecould not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." That's just great: I can't get any music or video ONTO my iTouch without iTunes...right?
After browsing around I found an older version of iTunes that seemed to work. Yay! But not really. Nobody ever mentioned that .flac and .avi files can't be imported into iTunes at all...so I had to go hunting online for third party converters. This took care of THAT problem...
However, now that conversion is up, the older version of iTunes won't pick up my iPod Touch and Sync it. There is actually a "Sync iPod" button under "File" tab, but it's grayed out and I can't use it.
Not entirely sure if this is why, but according to a few people, when a new iTunes comes out, the older one stops functioning as fully as it originally did, forcing people to upgrade their iTunes in order to make it work like normal.
I tried to find a third party program to pick up my iPod Touch so I could upload files, but no luck. I feel like an idiot for not knowing how to turn source code into a program, and the binary installers I did find were user-hostile (ie. Right clicking to bring up a menu actually plays the movie and there's no stop button, you have to end task from the task manager). Windows Explorer only shows one folder in my iPod Touch, which is empty and four letters long, which gives no clue as to what it is.
So here's my big question: now that I finally am fully ready to upload my files to my iPod Touch, I can't. Why?
Is it my version of iTunes? Why can't I download iTunes' newest version? Why does updating from the older version yield the same result (though I'm sure both installers are the same)? Is there another way to get all my media onto my device?
Thanks in advance...talk about a four hour headache...

Numark im1 works with 2nd generation ipod touch can it be made to work with 4th generation

Numark im1 works with 2nd generation ipod touch can it be made to work with 4th generation

You neglected to mention that the Numark iM1 is a piece of hardware (a physical box) that plugs into an iPod.
Checking on the Numark website, I suspect they haven't bothered to update their "iPod compatibility" page, since there's no specific reason (as far as I'm aware) why an App that worked with a 2nd gen Touch shouldn't work with a 4th gen model. Is that page where you looked and were then prompted to ask your question?
You might have more success in finding an answer to your question by contatcing the manufacturer (Numark) via their website or checking with a retailer who stocks the iM1. Numark appear to welcome email contact about their products.

Place the iPod in recoverymode and restore it via iTunes on your comoputer. For recovery mode see:

You could have easily found this by search this forum since the question gets asked/answered at least a dozen times a day. I just answered it four times in the last 1/2 hour.

And if it's a fifth-generation iPod touch that you're referring to. iOS 7 will not run on any earlier model of iPod touch.

Previous iPod Touch worked fine, new iPod Touch can't get an IP Address

I had a version 1.1.4 iPod Touch for several days and it worked quite well. I was able to automatically connect to wireless connections at work, at home and at my parents house without meddling with any wireless settings and by just using DHCP.
The other day I exchanged the iPod Touch for a different one, due to a defect in the case manufacturing, and with this iPod Touch, I haven't been able to connect to any of the previously mentioned wireless networks. I noticed that I wasn't able to get an IP address at all at my parents house, but I figured it was because I hadn't upgraded to 1.1.4, and was still at 1.1.3. I upgraded to 1.1.4 though this morning and at the work network, I'm having the same issue. I can easily connect to the wifi networks, but if I look at the DHCP settings, it's all blank. I can't get an IP address.
I looked around the forum here and found a great deal of people who for some reason couldn't connect to their particular wireless setup. This problem however is different in that I could easily connect to many wireless setups, but now that I've seemingly just switched to a different iPod Touch, I can't connect to the same ones at all.
It seems weird to me that the issue could just be that I got a different iPod, and I really think there must be some other reason, but I can't think of one. From all outward appearances they're the exact same. Same networks, same version.
What else could be the issue?

If your new Touch can't get on any network, then does it have a MAC address assigned to it? Go to Settings/General/About and scroll to the bottom to see if you have a "Wi-Fi Address", which is the MAC address assigned to your particular unit.
See this article for reference:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306067
If you're able to get on some networks but not others (where you had no problem before) then perhaps there is a subtle difference in the new unit's performance. You can try restoring it to see if that helps, but that means erasing everything and starting over.

IPod touch can't get my mail

Wi-Fi works on my iPod Touch but I can no longer get my mail. Any idea what may have happened?

Sometimes is can be something turned off in settings, so maybe you should check the mail section in settings. Also, I have had it where in the weirdest places in settings something is affecting it. You should check and make sure the address is working also. Hope this helps

My movie got deleted because I updated my iPod Touch & can't get it back. Help.

Yesterday I decided to update my 4 generation iPod Touch, before I updated it I synced all my stuff I had in my iPod that I haven't synced yet onto my iTunes library, but my movie didn't get synced and I didn't know that so I updated it anyways. After I updated it, I wanted to get all my music, TV shows, podcasts, the movie I mentioned & apps back. Then I realized I didn't sync my movie into my iTunes library and I don't know how to get it back. I went to the iTunes store on my iPod & I saw this section called "Purchased" so I thought all the stuff I have bought in the iTunes store would be there, but it only appeared the TV shows & music I've bought, not the movie. I need some help please :l

You can contact iTunes and explain what happens and then may allow aa redownload. Unlike for apps and music (some countires only) a redownload is not guaranteed.

Cracked screen on ipod touch can't get in to it. did a back up with it and tried to put it on new ipod touch 5 and now it keeps talking and won't let me in or turn off. how can i restore to nothing

Cracked ipod touch screen and it won't let me in or turn off. Tried to back it up and put on new ipod touch 5 and now it's not working and doing the same thing. I tried to restore to orginal but it won't let me any suggestions?

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

When the above says to restore via iTunes, restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

Can't get wireless to work

-extreme hooked up to cable modem
-iMac connected to extreme w/ethernet cable
-internet works fine
-go to airport utility, follow steps to create a wireless network
-wireless doesn't work, and iMac internet (wired to extreme) stops working too
any ideas? I've set this up a couple times before and always done it the same way... just can't get the darn thing to work this time. (I've done the above approximately 37 times.. nothing like banging your head against a brick wall...)
G.

in order to access the router web ui , disconnect the modem from the router's internet port .. now , try to access the router using http://192.168.1.1 , once on the web ui , connect the modem to the router's internet port...go to the "status" tab and check the internet ip add .. if it is 192.168.1.x , change the router's ip add as 192.168.2.1 and try connecting to the internet
if any more problems , let me know the results ..

Can't get wireless to work at home

I've just set up my wireless at my shop, using the wireless G w/speedbooster router, and notebook card, this is in a laptop. Now at home I have just a wireless G router. I tried to plug in the notebook card to the laptop and can't get any connection at home. I tried to set up the router and when I did this, I lost all connection to the internet. I then called SBC out ISP, and they helped me to get the internet back, but I still couldn't get the wireless to work. I didn't really want to mess around with it any more, because my wife needs the internet for her work at home, so i'm not really sure what to do. Do you guys think I should just call technical support when I get home and have them walk me through it all?

Ipod touch trying to get wireless with dsl verizon

does anyone know how to get password or what password i would use to input into my ipod touch to access my dsl wireless router from verizon

Hey ronac75 on the router label there should be a WEP Key on your wireless router which is what you would as the password you have to enter it as exactly as seen on the router for Windows PC and OS 10 for MACs.

Brand New Ipod Touch-Can't Get Music under "music"

This is my very first Apple product EVER!
Got a brand new Ipod touch generation 4. Downloaded two albums on Itunes, then synced it with my Ipod touch.
When I go to use my Ipod, I got to the "music" icon, but i have NO music.
I go to the "more" option and 9 out of 10 times, I'm only given THREE options there "Compliations, Composers, Genre". Only once or twice in the last 72 hours, have I had an additional option of "shared". When i do have the "shared" option, I can see the music that I've downloaded. I click on it as if to play it, and it sort of seems like it's playing it, but I hear NOTHING.
Please help me, I'm so frustrated!

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.
- Unsync all music and resync
- 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.

Ipod touch--can't get online at home via router

Just bought an ipod touch and want to use wi-fi to access internet at home. I am able to log onto the home network, but there isn't an actual internet connection.
I am running XP, have a Lynksis WRK54G wireless router and have no idea how to configure it to allow the ipod access. The IP address on the ipod shows: 169.xxx.xxx.xx. Someone told me it is going to the default address, but I don't know how to fix this.
If any of you could help--in the simplest possible terms--that would be great!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Are any other devices able to access the internet through the wifi? And if it actually does say xxx for the IP, something is wrong. Generally Linksys routers assign IP addresses of 192.168.1.100 through 192.168.1.199 by default.
