Ipod Touch G1 won't hold connection to AirPort

Can anyone give me any help in connecting my Touch (update 2.2)to my home network. I have an iMac CoreDuo wit built in Airport networking. Windoze laptops are able to connect to this network just fine from all corners of the house. My touch can't keep the connection when it is connected to the Mac and charging. My internet is a dfs connection.
The touch works fine with other wireless networks..in restaurants and in the public library. Why won't it work with my Mac? Can anyone explain how to set this up? I get full bars in the signal strength but safari cannot open page beause the server stopped responding. I have only once been able to get it to respond, but that was only enough to load the google home page. It never did an actual search...None of the other apps (like weather) that use the internet work either with Airport.

Does the iPod connect to other networks?

  • New iPod Touch Wifi won't stay connected?

    Just bought new 16 GB iPod Touch, and it won't stay connected to my home WiFi. Even after a reset of network connection, re-enter WiFi info and Touch connects for a few minutes and then loses connectivity even tho WiFi bars still show. Turning WiFi off and on does not fix problem. Turning iPod off and back on will allow Touch to reconnect, but again only for a few minutes at best.

    Does the iPod work OK with other networks?

  • My new ipod touch 3g won't hold a charge. The genius bar reset my old one twice and it still wouldn't charge. They gave me a new one but it also runs out of power overnight. They suggested that I might have a corrupted file somewhere.

    My new ipod 3g won't hold a charge. The genius bar reset my old iPod thinking that would solve the problem. It did not. It continued to discharge over night. They then thought I had some corrupted something, somewhere, but did nothing about it. They gave me a new iPod. It however is also discharging. If I do have a problem somewhere, why doesn't it affect my iPhone, which never seems to need a fresh charge. Please advise.

    Unfortunately, I am somewhat of an expert on this issue.  The problem is with the Charge design.  I'm very sure Verizon & Samsung know all about this defect in the hardware  The issue is with a hardware switch that gets stuck and drains the battery.  It seems to be connected with the camera part.  I have exchanged my phone like 5 times, hoping for a better outcome... same problem each time.  Finally, when it was out of warranty, the only solution left was to do the hard reset thing, thereby losing all your programs, etc. You will notice after the complete reset that everything works fine for awhile, until you do something that triggers that switch, which I have tracked down to the camera.  If you don't use the camera, no problems.  One big clue, for me anyway, was when the problem is starting, I lose access to my SD memory card apps.
    I HAVE managed to recover my phone just a few days ago without the hard reset, as JCO23 mentioned above.  Remove your memory card, restart your phone.  When the phone is fully booted, insert your memory card, and it will "mount" just like during startup.  Then go to your apps and delete a few at a time.  btw, it might crash during this process, in which case you need to start again.  keep removing apps a few at a time until the only apps left are the ones stored on the phone itself, not your memory card.  You will notice it is now stable, at some point.
    I'm also sure by now, you've gotten the usual Verizon response to buy a new phone.  I can't wait... I am tired of resetting my phone and losing my apps all the time. 

  • 3rd Generation iPod Touch battery won't hold a charge.

    My 3rd Generation iPod touch has been very reliable for the past few years, but recently I've been noticing a decrease in its battery life. The battery will now, on a full charge, last about 4 hours on continuous usage. Is this normal? I recall it lasting longer before.
    Thanks!

    Very likely that the barger is wearing out. That happens with time/charge/discharge cycles. 4 hours is standar for an old iPod like yurs.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.

  • My iPod Touch 4G won't automatically connect to any wifi networks and freezes whenever I try to connect manually. What can I do to fix this?

    This has happened once before and fixed itself overnight somehow, but this time it's been over 24 hours and hasn't fixed itself. I can't even check was OS I have as a result. I'm not very tech savvy so I don't know how to fix it at all. This iPod was actually a hand-me-down from a friend of mine.
    I've tried switching it to Airplane Mode in order to turn off the wifi entirely and then switching back but that hasn't helped. What can I do to fix this?

  • Tried to update to newest version. I got error because i didn't have this recovery program disc that was supposed to come with the purchase but it didn't and now my ipod touch 8gb won't connect with itunes and is stuck on a connection with itunes screen

    I tried to update to newest version via pc. I got error because i didn't have this recovery program disc that was supposed to come with the purchase so it says, but it didn't and now my ipod touch 8gb won't connect with itunes anymore and is stuck on a screen displaying an itunes icon with a usb icon.

    oke i'm not done with the whole thing, but i'm doing that right now. Most of the advice I've already read didn't work and at a certain point it said something about shutting down programs then restart. but i notice that there are some pretty important system things in that list and i don't want to mess up my pc :s i'm not a pc genius... and because i'm dutch and my pc-language is in dutch I often have trouble translating and well... i don't always understand the technical stuff in all the articles -_-

  • IPod Touch 3G won't connect to iTunes

    I recently bought an iPod Touch 3G and when I connected it, iTunes popped up saying I need to download V.10 for it to connect. My OS is Tiger 10.4.11 and iTunes 10 doesn't work on Tiger as you may already know.
    On the back of the iPod case it states that you need iTunes 9 or higher for it to work, which I have yet it's still asking me to update. Is there any way around this or does it look like I have to buy the update for my OS?

    What version of the iOS do you have on the iPod? If it is the latest (4.2.1) then you need iTunes 10.X which requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. To check go to Settings>General>About on the iPod.

  • I have an ipod touch and it will not connect to my wifi.  It has in the past but now it won't even let me get to the point where I put in my wifi info

    I have an ipod touch and it will not connect to my wifi.  It has in the past but now it will not even give me the option to connect?

    Did you just update to BUGGY OS 4.x???
    All the updates starting with OS 4.x have completely screwed up most iPod Touch', especially older models like Gen 2 and 3.
    Inability to connect to any WiFi.
    Fluctuating WiFi signal no matter how close you are to the AP.
    Drastically shortened battery life, even when in sleep mode.
    And Apple hasn't done a **** thing since irritated owners have complained about it since the middle of 2011!!
    (I am one of many thousands affected!) Look at older threads by searches of "Fluctuating WiFi", Terrible Battery Life, for the Touch and iPhone.
    This is why I bought an Android tablet instead of an iFad this Xmas. Non-existant Apple support!

  • IPod Touch 3g won't connect to unsecured network.  Blank page pops up

    At the public library where I work we have two networks. One is the archives which is a secure network which is passworded. I can get into that one with the password.
    The public wifi connection is an unsecured network that has a page that comes up with our rules and a button to click on saying you agree. Then you can go where you want.
    Two of us who have new iPod Touch cannot get into this connection. The iPod sees the library network and then the page comes up but is blank. It is called "Log in Page."
    Another colleague who has an older iPod Touch can access both of the networks. The "Log In Page" comes up for her and she clicks on the agree button no problem.
    Our tech person was baffled by this.
    Any ideas???

    The blank page you are referring to is the Terms & Conditions page for that particular provider. Scroll around a bit and see if you can find an "I Accept" button somewhere on the page. BTW, this is been the norm since 3.x firmware came out.
    Depending on the provider, some of these pages are badly formatted and may never show up properly. The only other thing to try is go to Safari and see if you can get the page to pop up.

  • IPod touch (1G) won't connect to iTunes Windows 7

    iPod touch firmware is 3.1.3. iTunes is version 10.3.1.55. Windows 7 is Professional version, 64-bit.
    I've found a number of web posts about this issue dating back to 2009, but none of those solve my issue or exactly describe it. I can put my iPod touch into Device Recovery Mode, connect to iTunes, and restore the iPod, but once that is done, I cannot connect the device to iTunes (Windows 7 64-bit mode).  However, I can connect the iPod to my Vista laptop, and I can connect the iPod to my Windows 7 machine if I run iTunes in the XP Mode virtual machine (32 bit).  I've gone through the steps looking for a conflicting USB service, and if there is one, it's part of Windows 7.  This started after I updated iTunes recently, but I'm not sure that had anything to do with it since I had not connected it in a while, and the first thing I did was update iTunes.  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance. -john

    I've got the same problem for a long time
    did you find the answer ?

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen No Longer Connects to WiFi

    Tonight I've been watching videos via the new Youtube app (from the appstore, since the one that comes with iPod is no longer available). I was watching a Youtube video when the battery on my iPod touch ran out. I connected the charger, the iPod turned on, and it suddenly won't connect to my WiFi anymore. I have other devices that connect to the WiFi with no issues. What happens is I go to my WiFi settings, and select my router as the access point, and a rotating loading icon appears next to my access point's name, 'belkin54g'. But the loading icon never goes away, and as a result doesn't connect to WiFi. I recently upgraded to iOS 6 if that helps. This WiFi connection has always worked fine on this iPod touch, so I have no idea as to why it decided to crap out on me.

  • I have an iPod touch and an iPad4. iTunes lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't show me what's on the iPad. Any ideas?

    I have an iPod Touch and an iPad4. iTunes recognises both items and lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't work with the iPad. In fact iTunes does not respond to clicking on anything in the iPad window even though it knows that it's connected. Any ideas?

    Look her and it may give insite on what is missing. Otherwise:

  • My iPod Touch (3G) won't turn on?

    I've owned my iPod Touch since June 30th, 2010 (a little over a year). I am no longer under the warranty, so I know that if my iPod is broken, I will have to pay. My iPod has been dropped several times, it has cracks in the screen, but the screen hasn't chipped away like others. It's never been dropped in water, so I don't think water is the problem. I'm also positive the headphone jack is broken, as several pairs of working headphones have not worked on it unless a decent amount of pressure is applied. Anyways, back to the major problem. My iPod will not turn on. I'll hold the power and home button, and the apple logo will come up, but it won't take me to the lock screen, it will simply go black again. It won't charge at all, and the only time I can successfully turn it on is when the iPod is "charging". However, the second I unplug it, it goes all black. All help is appreciated!! Thanks!

    Same problem here - Ipod touch 3G won't turn on. I've tried reseting - but absolutely no response and when I try to restore, before it completes the restore, error 1600 comes up. This is my daughter's ipod and we've tried all of this after plugging in to a wall charger overnight and then using a pc and then mac and still nothing. Any suggestions?
