Ipod touch g2 wifi issue

Hi All,
just got my new 2nd generation ipod touch yesterday, it's running on the newest version (2.1). But now i'm encountering problems when contacting to the network.
At home it wouldn't work at all, when connecting it always says "could not connect to ..." where .. is the name of the hotspot. I have a first generation ipod touch which has no problems to connect to the hotspot at all.
At work I am able to connect just fine...
I read in another forum that there was a similar issue with version 2.0.. but it seems that this was resolved.
Anyone out there with some clues about this?

You could also try resetting your network settings.
I also have a IPT 2G, and cannot connect to our WiFi. But I've given up because on my IPT 1G I couldn't connect either and it's too much of a headache to try and make it work so I've gone without internet since I got the new one. :/
Good luck!

IPod touch 4g wifi issue

K so my wifi works great. I'll use it for a good 30 min when I lock it and go back and use it the wifi is sign is bright an blue but it just keeps loading and loading. I eventually have to turn it on and off all the time. I tried restarting my roater reset my network settings I did everything!!! Is there anything I can do before I take it in to apple?

I think your problem might be related to apps that have a persistent connection. For whatever reason, they are probably causing this to happen. Make sure you check for updates to those apps.
Next time is does that, tap Settings and turn off WiFi. Wait a few, turn it back on. I would also try turning off some Apps that are staying connected and see if that makes a difference. You might want to turn off Push notifications as well to resolve this.
And if all that doesn't do it for you, reset the network connections - tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Connections.

If a restore did not fix it, you have a hardware issue--possible bad wi-fi radio.

Just turning off Cloud will not prevent him from turning it back on.
Rignt now, if he uses the App store, iTunes thinks it's talking to me.

First, turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account, while your sim is still in the phone. Then: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Give it to your grandson & he gat then set it up as he wants.
Important your turn iMessage & FaceTime off to disassociate the phone from your Apple ID. Apple "claims" to have fixed this with iOS 6.0, but until I can absolutely confirm such, I still recommend you turn all of that stuff off first.

My iPod touch gen5 wifi keeps dropping out. All the other iPods, iPads and iPhones don't in the house, just the iPod touch gen 5, entering the password every time is a pain, why can't it have a button to remember password like all the other devises.

Why doesn't it remember the wifi password like the other i devises, it's a bugger entering it in every time.

You late question did get answered:on the 18th of this month. Sounds like you did not like the answers. Starting a new post without mentioning yur first post wastes people time
My iPod touch 5th gen isn't charging and when I plug my working charger in that I've always used a message pops up that says "This accessory may not be supported". So can I send it in for a new one if I have a warranty?

For some reason, iOS 6 has decided to download on my iPod Touch through WiFi. I didn't request it, nothing is set to automatically update in the Touch settings, or iTunes. It seemed to start downloading when I synced the Touch. I've disconnected the Touch from WiFi temporarily. How can I cancel the download, or will there be an option when it's done downloading to cancel the install?
Thanks for any help...

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

Problems connecting powerbook to ipod touch through wifi

Hi,
I searched for previous posts but couldn't find a solutuion. I have been using the high speed internet from my powerbook to connect to my iPod Touch through wifi to be able to use the internet on my ipod close to my computer.
I have been using the advise of "mrtotes" on another apple discussion. I copied the URL and the part of the discussion that I use.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1240824
"Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions,
OS X's IP firewall is probably blocking incoming Port 80 requests (i.e. web traffic).
Go to  menu > System Preferences... > Sharing > and under Services check "Web Sharing".
I assume you already have switched on Internet Sharing on the Internet section under Services on the Sharing pane and are "Sharing your connection from": "Built-in Ethernet". To computers using "Airport".
To secure the connection (recommended) go to  menu > System Preferences... > Sharing > Internet section. Click on "Airport Options..." and check "Enable encryption (using WEP)". Then enter a password twice. Users will need to enter this password to share your connection, although you should be aware even 128bit WEP isn't all that secure.
cheers
mrtotes"
I have been using these instructions successfully to connect my ipod to my powerbook for several months but now it has stopped working. When I get to System preferences>sharing>interenet and I select "Share yur connection from: Built-in ethernet", the only opions I have for "To computers using:_______" are "Built-in Ethernet" and "buildt-in Firewire" nothing about airport. Also at the bottom of the sharing window the "Airport Options" is greyed out and I can't select it. So I went to system preferences>network and my airport is listed but "Airport is currently off" So I click "Connect..." and the "Internet connect" window opens to the "airport" tab. "Airport Power: Off" and everything is greyed out so I can't select anything. And at the bottom of the window. "Status: No Airport Hardware found". So I went to the system profiler clicked on "network" on the left hand side, then clicked on "Airport" at the top right under "active services" and then looked a the information on the lower right side of the window:
AirPort:
Type: AirPort
Hardware: AirPort
BSD Device Name: en1
IPv4:
Configuration Method: DHCP
IPv6:
Configuration Method: Automatic
Proxies:
Proxy Configuration Method: Manual
ExcludeSimpleHostnames: 0
FTP Passive Mode: Yes
Auto Discovery Enabled: No
Strangely, If instead of clicking on "Network" on the left side, I open up the drop down list under "network" (i.e. Airport card, firewiall, locations, modems, volumes) and click on "airport Card", I'm told "no information found"
Any solutions?

Can u use the ipod touch without wifi like the phones do

can u use the ipod touch without wifi like the phones do

That depends on what you mean by "use".
Sure you can use it without wifi. Many apps do not require a connection to the Internet. The iPod app (or Music and Videos apps, I can never remember which the iPod Touch uses nowadays), for example.
However, iPod Touch devices do not include the "cell phone parts" - i.e. they cannot connect to cellular voice or data networks. Therefore, when an iPod Touch cannot connect to a wifi network, it has no way to transceive data with the Internet (short of Bluetooth, but that's a special case and I'm sure not what you're asking about).

Both my iPod touch and wife's iPad2 updated to iOS 6 and now no network

Both my iPod touch and wife's iPad2 updated to iOS 6.
They both say they are connected to the wireles, but Safari and all Internet apps say there is not internet connection.
Both our MacBooks connect fine to the Internet.
I assume there will be an iOS6.1 to fix this soon.

is there a solution to The Problem iTunes 10.7 - ICU 3.5 ?

Can you use siri on the new ipod touch without wifi?

No. Siri requires an internet connection. It is done in the Cloud, not on the iPod.

TS1398 I forgot my ipod touch's wifi password? Please help me!

I forgot my ipod touch's WiFi password! I have tried everything posted on the internet. Isn't there some way to go through itunes to reset it? Please help me - I want to give it to my 9yr old son!

The wi-fi password has nothing to do with the ipod.
It is the password that you set up on your wi-fi router.

IPod Touch Home WiFi Connectivity Issue

Hi,
I didn't know my Linksys WRT546 password when our new iPod Touch wanted it for Internet connectivity. I changed the Linksys password and now cannot get the "iTouch" to ask for the wireless router's password again after it finds the encrypted home network. I just get a screen wanting all types of IP connectivity info. Did we hit a wrong key? How can we get the iTouch to recognize the home network and ask for just the password to gain connectivity since it already recognizes the wireless network? Many thanks for suggestions.

yes... it is 3.1 Apple has had problems since 3.0 and are either unable or unwilling to fix the problem - and they are aware of it. Unless your device came from the factory with 3.0/3.1 do not expect it to work.
I can assure you Apple is aware of it and there isn't really anything to fix. FYI, new iPods still do not come with 3.1 firmware.
There was some super secret major change that older devices can't handle. You still have to go through the process of documenting things so the will give you a new one. I am doing that now. I had to force roll back from 3.0 to 2.x in order to get my wifi to work again and had to 'allow' the apple tech to force me to 3.1 and make notes on my account so when I got home tonight and it was HALF the capability and range as on 2.x - I can make ANOTHER trip back to the store to get a new device. Welcome to Apple, powered by the same work/design ethic that brought you Microsoft Vista.
Yes, another conspiracy has been hatched. All hardware evolves over time. There are always ongoing upgrades to any electronic device that is made in as high of numbers as iPhones/iPod touches are. Your WiFi has half the range? What about your router - what is it, when was it made, when was the last time you updated its firmware?
Please, this is not an opinion forum but a help forum. If you have something to add to help someone with an iPod touch problem, please do so.
