Ipod touch inappropriately synching over wifi

I've got a 4th gen iPod touch, running iOs 6.1.6 (the latest version). I haven't changed any settings, but in the last couple of days, it's started synching over wifi. I've gone to the settings page, and under Options, "Sync with this iPod over Wifi" is NOT selected. Why is it doing this, and how can I stop it?

- 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.
- 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Cannot get iPod touch to sync over wifi with my Windows 7 PC with iTunes 10.5

I have checked the box under summery in the options to sync my iPod Touch over wifi. It still doesn't work.. PLEASE HELP!

If you mean that your iPod does not appear under Devices in iTunes see the following:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Otherwise please provide additional information like what happens when you try to sync. Error messages?

I have done absalutely nothing to my 4g apple ipod touch, and it over heats, won't hold a charge, and the front camera will not work. I bought this brand new in december, and i've barely used it. I've tried restarting it and everything, what should i do?

I have done absalutely nothing to my 4g apple ipod touch, and it over heats, won't hold a charge, and the front camera will not work. I bought this brand new in december, and i've barely used it. I've tried restarting it and everything, I honestly think this is out raging because i spend over $200 on this. To have for music and instagram. I use it about an hour a day, but i've only been using it for about 3 months although i've had it since December. Any suggestions that may help me?

i just baught a new ipod touch and synched it to my old computer to get the music off it but when i synched it to my new computer it wants to delete all the music on it that wasnt baught through itunes....how do i keep my cd's and stuff that are on the ipod now and put it onto my new computer?

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

Home pc is under my husband's user id, I have an iPad and iPhone under my apple id. I have more music on my iPad then on pc or iPhone. If I set up synching over wifi for my devices... What do they sync to? Will the songs on iPad be added to phone/pc?

Home Sharing is designed to work on your local network not across the internet/cloud.
Stuff is accessed under the Computers column where your local iTunes library on a local computer would appear.
Home Sharing would share your iTunes content (i.e. stuff stored in itunes on the computer, not in the cloud) with AppleTV or an iPad etc on the SAME network.
AppleTV2 will not be able to see itunes content on the work computer over the internet. It's not designed to. if the work computer was on the home network it would.
iCloud is in it's infancy and is not a mature product - iTunes TV Show purchases appear on AppleTV, but currently music does not unless you are subscribed to iTunes Match. I find this rather odd to be honest, along with the inability to buy music on AppleTV2. Movies purchased in iTunes are not authorised for iCloud viewing currently either.
Maybe it has something to do with iTunes Match 'getting in the way' - i think they assume you'll use that whereas you really want to be able to access Purchased music from the cloud without subscribing to itunes Match which is overkill for some.

IPod Touch stopped connecting to WiFi, yet all other devices do!

Hey there. My iPod (4th gen) just glitched and went off-line yesterday after I had some issues fixed with my linkys router. I was adding a new (used) MacBook Pro to my gadgets, and now the iPod is no longer connecting at all to my wifi. It DID work all evening though, following this router update...
(I'll never understand why it's so easy tp get online in a library or cafe, yet my own home wifi is a darn chore!)
Ok - Odd thing is: My old iBook G4 is online (wifi) upstairs, my old PowerBook is picking up fine, and even my 1st gen iPod has a connection!! o_O
Symptoms include:
Signing on using password etc, and getting the checkmark beside the name of the account, even getting 5 curved wifi bars in full (this is now random, but was a real teaser in the beginning), and yet NO internet connection. Nada. Argh. (1st world problems eh?)
I have tried:
Turning the device OFF, then back on.
Turning wifi off then on.
Resetting Network Connections.
Pressed "Forget this Network" and started again.
And I even went as far as to RESET my iPod in iTunes (lost all my apps etc, though they're on the laptop so...)
Updated the software (after this issue, not before...)
And not a thing. Ugh. Making me mental.
Do I have to set it back to Factory Settings? (May as well, since I'm willing to start over, most info is on my laptop too...)
ANY help would be appreciated. I use that iPod a lot around the home for the radio apps, and really miss the music!!
Thank You Thank You Thank You!!

This solved my questionRe: Problem with connecting iPod touch to wi-fi
Mar 9, 2012 9:20 AM (in response to ujazzfan)
Very frequently powering off and then back on the router resolves the problem. Try it.

Is there a way to connect iPod Touch to internet over my computer?

I don't have wifi, but I have internet and I can't get an app to update without wifi. I really can't connect through my iTunes on my computer? This seems kind of strange.
Don't know which "generation" it is it was a gift. It may be the one right before the last update.
Thanks for any help!
Steph

I think there two separate things being discussed here. One is syncing the iPod touch to the Mac. That's working fine. The other is using the iPod over WiFi, which has nothing to do with syncing. stephmayo is asking about using the iPod to connect to the Internet through the Mac, not syncing the iPod, I believe...
You have a MacBook with wireless networking (AirPort). If the MacBook is using a wired Ethernet connection for Internet access, you should be able to +share it+ over AirPort (WiFi) to your iPod touch.
Go to System Preferences Sharing pane. Select +Internet Sharing+ in the sidebar - do not check the box yet, just select it. Over to the right, set it so that you
+Share your connection from *Built-in Ethernet*+
+To computers using AirPort+
Click on the +AirPort Options+ button. You can name the network and enable encryption (security) using WEP. You can try it without encryption first to make sure it works.
Now, check the box next to +Internet Sharing+ in the sidebar, to turn ON this sharing service. Use your iPod to connect to this new wireless network you have established. If you need to make any changes to the AirPort settings (such as encryption) you have to turn OFF (uncheck) the service first.
The docking cable connection is only or charging and syncing. You cannot connect to the Internet from the iPod using the cable connection.
