IPod Touch Not Receiving DNS Address

For the past week or so, my iPod Touch has not been receiving a DNS address from the wireless router in my workplace. The router is a Netgear RangeMax WPN824, currently using WPA-PSK encryption. The iPod indicates that it successfully connects to the router, but it does not have any internet connectivity in Safari, Mail, or any other internet-required apps, and when I check on the wireless connection, it does not have a DNS address assigned.
I have no trouble connecting to the wireless network using my laptop, and the IP configuration on my laptop indicates that the laptop gets a DNS address of 10.0.0.1. I've tried manually entering that address, as well as an OpenDNS address, into the wireless settings on the iPod, with no success.
My iPod Touch is running the 2.0.2 firmware, but one of my friends who uses the 1.1.x firmware is also unable to get any connectivity. Any suggestions, anyone?

Same here! All the other computers (MacBook, Gateway Vista desktop, husband's Toshiba XP laptop and my old Mac notebooks) on my wi-fi network are connecting just fine (using a Time Capsule as my router), but my iPod Touch either can't see my network or if it does, rejects my password (even though I enter it exactly the same way as on my other machines that do connect successfully). I went to Settings and there is no DHCP address or DNS server info; and numerous resets of the Touch's network settings were no help. I haven't called AppleCare (they're never open when I have the time) and am afraid they will tell me to update the TimeCapsule's firmware or AirPort Utility--which I did last week and promptly killed my network till I reverted to the previous versions.
I have all these fun killer apps but can't get online except with a computer. (Last resort is to see if I can get on to a wi-fi hotspot). I just paid ten bucks and killed 3 hours to break my iPod Touch. Is this an attempt by Apple to get us to buy yet another device or even an iPhone (which I DON'T want because my phone service is expensive enough as it is).

  • MacBook & iPod Touch not syncing iCal & Address Book data

    I have been unable to sync iCal & Contact data between my MacBook and iPod Touch for some time. The iPod shows up in my iTunes but when highlighted with the Info tab clicked neither my contacts nor calendars appear in the appropriate boxes so that they may be synced. I receive a message stating that it is unable to sync this data because syncing is not enabled. When I click 'Yes' to enable syncing I get a message stating that syncing can not be enabled on this computer. I then click 'Override' which essentially does nothing. I am not sure what happened to create this problem nor how to fix it. Any ideas or suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Jim,
    I found instructions on how to reset SyncServices via Terminal command. After trying it this is the message I received:

  • IPod Touch not receiving email

    In the last couple days I have been having trouble getting my email on my IPod touch (updated to OS 4.0.2). My ISP is AT&T which uses yahoo. I am not having any trouble accessing the internet through safari but when I open the mail app, nothing is happening, even when I try updating using the refresh button at the lower left of the screen. I have not changed my password or anything like that. I have just returned from a short stay out of town and have been using wifi if that makes any difference (it shouldn't though since I use wifi frequently and have never had a problem). Any ideas will be welcome.

  • IPod Touch not Synchronising/New Software Uploads-A/V Software Conflict

    Hi,
    I've been following the threads relating to the iPod Touch not being recognised (after having dealt with Windows thinking it was a Camera!!). One issue brough to my attention by the Apple Support Team when downloading any new software is a potential conflict with Anti Virus software and firewalls.
    I had previously gone through the loop of uninstalling/reinstalling Quicktime, iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service etc etc.
    In my case, when I connected the iPod, iTunes was coming up with a message saying "iPod detected in recovery mode", which then required me to do an updated software download. When running this, it appeared to complete the download, but the iPod remained with the "connection" screen (USB connector and iTunes symbol), as indeed it did again tonight.
    I spoke with the Apple Support Team again tonight, and was advised to try disabling my anti virus software and firewall as he suggested that given the long time it takes to download the iPod software update, the AV software may be causing the problem.
    This I did, and after having been advised last night to set up a new account, switched to this account, started iTunes, the Touch then went into software upload "mode" and eventually completed and appeared in the devices!!
    So that's my problem resolved, but hopefully the advice I received may be of assistance to others struggling with connectivity issues.
    Good luck everyone.

    Thanks for the information, tony!
    Apologies for the nosy question, but what security software do you use? (I know people can have issues with CA software in particular in this context, but it is always useful to know about other packages when trying to help with people in your situation.)

  • IPOD Touch not retrieving emails

    My ipod touch stopped receiving emails about 2 weeks ago.  A message indicates that the mail server imap.gmail.com is not responding.  I tried to reset to the default setting but this did not work.  Any suggestions as to what is causing the problem?

    Make sure you're connected to the internet and that Gmail does work. (Use the Gmail app or via Safari and see if that works. Double check the settings with this. https://support.google.com/mail/troubleshooter/1668960?hl=en

  • Flexconnect Local Switching Hosts Do Not Receive IP Addresses

    My WLC software version is 7.4.110.0. I have a branch office in my lab. The AP in my branch is configured as flexconnect with native VLAN of 700. The SSID that I have in the branch office is configured to do local switching. The show wlan is added below.
    My tunneled SSID still working and I can still receive IP addresses from it. My issue is last week I have the Flexconnect working with no problem, then this morning I can connect to the SSID, but I'm not receiving IP addresses for my test wireless clients.

    Probably because you did not tell the iPod to sync the calendar in iTunes.

  • How do I sync "On My iPod touch" notes with and IMAP account?

    I wrote a number of notes in the Notes app before I configured it to sync with an IMAP account. I have added an IMAP acct. to the device and configured that acct. to sync notes. Notes now has an accounts section, and that section lists "On My iPod touch" and the IMAP acct. How do I get the "On My iPod touch" notes sync'd with my IMAP?

    Have you tried restoring the ipod?

  • Ipod touch not showing in iTunes

    Anyone help?
    On an imac with 10.6.1 Mac OS and iTunes 9.1.1
    Recently the HDD failed and Apple replaced, but since then ipod touch not recognized in iTunes.
    Have followed all the steps in the support document for resetting, rebooting, reinstalling etc. and ipod touch is recognized the first time after following this process, but then after that when I boot up my mac and iTunes a second time, it stops being recognized again. I cannot reinstall iTunes every time I want to sync my ipod touch!!! Anyone else had similar issues and solved?
    Thanks

    I am having a similar issue. I have a 1st-generation iPod touch, and a MacBook running Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.3) and iTunes 9.1.1. It's a bit old now and the WiFi isn't very good, but my iPod touch still works perfectly, except that it doesn't show up in iTunes, which I discovered yesterday when I tried to sync some new music. I got my iTouch G1 the first week they came out and it worked perfectly with my iBook G4 running Tiger, and also worked perfectly with my new MacBook running Leopard which replaced the iBook when its logic board bit the dust. I recently updated to Snow Leopard (about a month ago now), and now my iTouch doesn't show up in my iTunes sidebar, but a volume shows up in Disk Utility that could only be this iPod and things do happen when I plug in the iPod (the first time I connected it since I added some Snow to my Leopard, iPhoto opened and prompted a download of a screenshot I'd taken with the iPod). I'm mostly writing this right now because the support page pertinent to this issue is down due to some sort of Apple web maintenance and I'm tired of getting the same error message. I actually have everything on my Mac backed up, and when I installed Snow Leopard I just did a basic installation but have been thinking of going back and doing a clean wipe and install and then getting the iTunes and iPhoto libraries et cetera off of my external HD. Would this fix my problem? I figure that since my iPod touch's files and system have been constant throughout this, it must be some issue with Snow Leopard, however before I wipe everything and have to set my system up again from scratch, I would like to know if this problem would be fixed by doing that or if there is some problem inherent in Snow Leopard that needs to be manually fixed.

  • HT1369 Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed and mobile programs associated with my non apple cellpho

    Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

    I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
    Go to 'Settings'
    'Music'
    Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
    Then connect to iTunes and sync!

  • IPod Touch not recognised on Windows 8 and will not appear as connected in iTunes.

    Usually when I plug my iPod Touch (4th Gen) into my laptop (Windows 8) it appears automatically on iTunes for me to sync. However, when I tried to do this today, iTunes did not recognise that a device was connected and this was confirmed after I did a diagnostic test. Windows recognises that an iPod has been plugged in, however where it usually says "Alicia's iPod Touch", it just appears as "Apple iPod" and when I click on it, I cannot access any photos/videos that I have on my iPod. Any help would be very much appreciated if anybody know how I can fix this. Thank you.
