IPod Touch connected to home wi-fi but not working?

I have an 16GB iPod Touch.
When I first bought my iPod, I had nothing wrong with connecting and using the wifi @ home with it.
But after I restored it yesterday, something went wrong.
My iPod is connected to the wi-fi at home, but when I use it, it doesn't work. For example:
Safari - When I use it, it fades into a partially black screen and it says 'connecting...' for a very long time. I got fed up so I don't know what happens in the end.
TweetDeck app - It says I have slow/no connection. But when I use the laptop, it works perfectly fine.
Is it some network setting in the iPod? I connected the iPod with wifi in another place (not at home), and it works fine. But when I come back home and connect it to mine, it still doesn't work.
I also tried using my cousin's iPhone to connect to my wifi @ home. And his works fine. But mine doesn't! I noticed that both our IP addresses are different, but we are using the same wifi network. Is that normal?
I'm not very familiar with all the network terms. I hope someone can help me
Thank you!

Thank you for your reply. I have tried your suggestion. Emmm I have an AirLive router, there are so many wires o.O I don't know which one to plug out. I think it is the yellow one which says WAN? But I wasn't so sure. So I tried plugging out each wire and followed your instructions. Sorry, but it didn't work I'm going mad xD! I even tried re-doing your instructions on WAN wire, and it didn't work.
Hmm according to step 4 (Log back into your network using Settings > WiFi > Other. Re-enter your network name (SSID), security, and network password.)
My network name is already available in the list. So I didn't need to do that. Or is it neccesary?
Thanks a bunch! Reply soon

If you are sure that your password is correct try restarting your router by removing power to it for 30 seconds and restarting. On your iPod go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings. Now try to connect.

Touch my ipod touch broken and ill have to getscreen not working

my ipod touch 2nd generation still turns on but i cannot unlock it because my touch screen does not work. Can i get that fix or is my ipod touch broken and should i get a knew one? thank you for helping me

have you tried to reset it by holding the ome and power buttons down at the same time for about 1min or untill apple logo appears, also have you tried to restore the device?
if you attempted to restore the device and its requireing your passcode you may have to put the device into recovery mode, turn the device off, hold home button and plug into computer hold the button down untill the connect to itunes logo comes up
if the screen still does not work its the device and you should prolly either replace it or see if the apple retail store will repair your device

On iPod Touch, how can I view calendars but not sync them?

I have thirteen years of calendar events in iCal on my desktop Mac, dating back to year 2000, divided between three calendars. A quite large amount of calendar data, admittedly. I sync to my iPod Touch via iCloud. Problem is that, if I select "Sync All Events" in the Settings of the iPod, my iPod apparently constantly is trying to sync thirteen years, resulting in unbearably slow performance, with intolerably long lag before calendars "sync" and before new entries resolve.
Of course, if I select the alternative iPod Calendar Setting "Sync Events Six Months Back", my iPod performs swiftly, efficiently... after all, it's not like I'm editing old events from years ago. However, by doing so, events older than 6 months cannot be viewed on the iPod Touch.
I suppose most people aren't concerned with preserving older calendar events in a viewable form, but I have need to do so on my iPod Touch. I don't need to spend unbelievable amount of waiting time while my iPod processes (i.e., "syncs") all my old calendar events ; I simply wish to be able to see the darn things! So, how do I maintain fast performance AND ability to view all my calendar events quickly?
I hope this makes sense. If anyone has an idea how I can achieve this, I will be greatly appreciative. Obviously, on my desktop Mac I have no problem viewing any date in iCal that I choose to view. On my iPod, though, can I set up separate calendar in which I can store but not sync the older calendar stuff? Or, do I need some separate app to preserve and view my older calendars?
Thanks.

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is 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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

IPod touch 3rd gen recognized by computer but not by iTunes

My iPod touch 3rd gen is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen. It became stuck on the screen while updating to the newest software and is still stuck. It is recognized by my PC as an "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" in recovery mode but is not recognized by iTunes.
I have tried multiple suggestions by the Apple Support pages related to this issue, and even reinstalled all Apple programs on my PC, but iTunes still fails to recognize the iPod.
Is there any other ways I could go about solving this issue? It seems I have tried everything so far..

See if running diagnostics will help

Next I would try another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

Without knowing exactly what troubleshooting you've tried, if you are using a Windows based computer, try iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Disable a/v software and turn off the Firewall.. see if that helps.

Why will my brand new iPod touch allow me to purchase songs but not download them?

Can someone tell me why my new iPod touch is allowing me to buy songs but not downloading the songs currently being purchased? The new songs actually show up on my iPad but not my iPod which is the device they were purchased on.

Try configuring your iCloud sync settings for music across devices, also go to the iTunes app hit more, then purchased and then hit the download button

4 GB iPod Nano connected to A/C source but not charging

I have resetted my iPod to factory settings and used all other common troubleshooting tips but...
My 4GB iPod Nano is connected to an A/C source but does not charge. Oddly enough, the iPod says its charging, but when I disconnect the source, the battery has not charged at all. When I use other people's A/C adapter and cable, the iPod charges.
I have used the same USB cable to connect to my computer, and it does the same thing. I can transfer data to and from my iPod using this cable.
Is it possible for a USB cable to transfer data but not power?
Im really confused, because the cable clearly works but no power is being transferred, either by my computer's powered USB ports or by my A/C adapter being plugged into the wall.

More time as in longer charging times, or allow the A/C adapter and cable to chill out for awhile?

IPod Touch 4g USB Charging Cable(s!) Not Working. Went through 5 in a year.

I've had my 8 gb iPod Touch 4g since November 12th, 2010. I bought it from Target (so its not covered under warranty anymore) love it and use it for many hours every day, but there is a problem with the USB charging cables.
When I got my iPod, it came with the standard Apple charging cable. That cable worked for a few months (maybe... 3?) and all of a sudden stopped working. When I used my friends cord, it worked perfectly fine. She had the same exact model and cord as I did. I ended up just buying a replacement cord, thinking that this was just a fluke or whatever. No such deal. I purchased a third party cord from amazon, and it worked for a few months again. (Let me note that I also got a car and wall charger with it, those work perfectly fine to this day.) Once again, all of a sudden it broke. And again, I tried a friend's cord and it worked fine.
I ended up buying a third and fourth cords, which was also third party, and after that broke, I was fed up and went to the Genius Bar for an appointment. I explained my problem, and they made an appointment with me. Eventually, they just said to buy another cord, this time Apple brand. I did, and it has been working fine up until tonight, when it just stopped charging.
When I say that the cords broke, I mean that all of a sudden they would stop charging my iPod, no matter where I plugged it in. (computer, wall, car, etc.) It would/will only charge if I bent it a very certain way, and then I would need to hold it there, which I obviously can't do for hours. (;
I would take this apple cord back now, since I believe there is a warranty (although, I need to double check that when I can get to the papers.) if it weren't for the fact that, from use, the coating/white plastic of the actual cord has split and you can see a few of the wires. I will have to double-check if this is covered, though because of the outside appearance, I doubt that they would take it back. This has not happened with any of the other cords, however.
What should I do? Would restoring help this problem? I have been contemplating the idea for a while, but having to re-download/etc all of my apps, music, etc., is not the most appealing idea to me.. I have reset a few things a while back, though I cannot remember what they are, sadly.
Currently, my iPod is running iOS 5, as I just updated it about a month or so ago. Before that, it was running what the iPod touch 4g originally came with... I believe it was 4.2.1?
I really love my iPod, but am fed up with having to buy cords every few months, as I have gone through four or five in just a year.

I think stevejobsfan has misunderstood your problem.
You specifically state that in one case you can see the inner cord and wires of the lead. So, either - you are mis-handling the cord or a pet is chewing it. So, if you don't have a pet - it's you.
When you remove the cord from the iPod (or from the other end of it) you should handle by the plug, not the cord itself. If you pull the cord you are straining the connection between the cord and the plug and that will eventually cause that connection to break.
If this had happened to just one cord, maybe it's the cord. If it happened to several of the same make from the same source, perhaps it may have been a faulty batch. But for it to happen five times, with cords from different sources and different manufacturers - everything points to the cord being handled too roughly.
Buy another cord - but in future, remove it by gripping the plug and not by pulling on the cord. This applies to any cord or lead, including mains powered devices. If you have any other cords for any other product, I suggest you check them for damage because damaged cords can be a fire risk and create a risk of electric shock. Mains voltage can kill.
Another thought; if you wrap cords - including headphone leads - around anything (such as the charger itself), wrap it loosely. A tight wrap also strains the cord to plug connection.

IPod Touch 5th gen headphone jack and battery not working properly

Yesterday my iPod touch 5th gen's battery started draning at an incredible rate. Won't last longer then 1 or 2 hours now. And add onto it the headphone jack stopped working properly. It's now only plays in one ear, it's all static over the sound it's supposed to play. I baby my iPod. This all happened out of the blue. What do I do to fix it?

Saraa22 , the same recommendation was given over a year earlier:
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- 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.

If anyone has this same problem with their Ipod touch 5g headphone jack. I found a way to fix it. I did everything of the above but nothing actually worked . But this is what worked!
First reset your Ipod by pressing down the on/off button and the home button at the same time for 10 seconds until you see the apple icon
Then after it turns back on : Go to settings then press on general. Then press on accessibility and scroll down and make sure MONO AUDIO is on!
This will definitely fix the problem.
