Ipod Touch Problem with Internet at home, Wi-Fi & Vista

I just bought an I Pod Touch 32G 2nd Generation. I work on a Vista PC. I synced my Ipod and everything seemed to work. When I first tried to connect to the internet at home I did make a connection, but still couldn't use mail or safari or anything.
I share my wireless internet with my neighbour. He works on a Mac. When comparing my Ipod to his, he found out that I did have the right password, but the IP address was totally different to our router. He synched my Ipod with his Mac en then it worked just fine.
But since I cannot make my Itunes library on my neighbours Mac, I had to sync my Ipod to my computer again. Then I was not able to connect to the internet anymore. It does seem to recognize the password, but it says it can't connect (but not why).
We have WEP, and I have the latest Software installed (since I have it only 2 days). What can I do to connect to the internet? (apart from buying a Mac that is)

normaly wifi routers are setup to being hdcp servers which mean that
the ipod and computers really
gets the ip when they connect to the router over wifi
along with their dns gateway and proxy settings
if your router is very different setup and your ipod somehow get
it's ip from the last computer it synced with
maybe thats the thing to look into
because if your vista box give it some garbage ip outside the normal subnet
of routers network and the router dont have dhcp turned on to give it a valid
ip that could cause all your problems
maybe the mac have it's internet sharing turned on and thats why after being connected with it the ip it got is not a crazy one

Syncing to ipod touch - problems with authorizing pc

I'm a newbie to Apple and love my iPod touch, I've been downloading apps and movies etc without issue. Then last week it stopped saying I need to authorise my pc, it has removed all iPod content back to the library and I can't download anything at all now.
Nothing has happened to my pc, although I have backed all up and uninstalled/reinstalled and also put the ipod back to factory settings
I have 2 pcs authorized from viewing my account, but I can't get it to sync - any ideas?
I can download anything from the iTunes store, so my account is fine, it is just this sync issue.

Thanks for the reply Illaas, my answers are below:
Have you tried deauthorizing the computer and then authorizing it?
-         Yes – I can de-authorize it, then when I try toauthorize again I get ‘We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable.Please try again later’
Does iTunes say it is authorized? If you go to the Itunes Store on youcomputer the account will be list in the black bar in the right upper part ofthe screen.
-         iTunes recognises my account and is displayed on theblack bar - yes
Do you have more than one iTunes account?
-         no
Is the iPod signed in the iTunes account. To check go toSettings>Store.
-         No it is not, so there should be no conflict
I am a little confused when yo say it stopped asking you to authorize thecomputer. It should only ask once and then when you authorize it you willno longer get the message..
-         Everytime I want to sync the iPod it tells me it cannottransfer any content from my library saying:
-         ‘Some of the items in the iTunes library (mentions theitem). Were not copied to the iPod “the name of my ipod” because you are notauthorised for them on this computer. Toauthorise this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store> Authorise This Computer.” When Iclick ok and the go to Store > Authorise This Computer I get the message ‘Wecould not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable.Please try again later’ This is aconstant loop I am in, so feel that Apple need to reset my account somehow.
Also look here and the related articles listed on the left side of thefollowing:
About iTunesStore authorization and deauthorization
-         Thanks I’ve been through all of this and changed theaccount settings and deleted the SC folder as detailed.

Another New IPod Touch Owner with Wi-fi Problems

Another New IPod Touch Owner with Wi-fi Problems.
I have been working at this for about 4 hours now with no success and I am getting pretty frustrated, so if it show up in my typing please ignore it. I just don't understand why these multi-million dollar companies can't write a manual or put up a web site that can actually help someone with a problem.
Ok, venting aside.
I am running a gateway computer.
Operating System = XP
Router = Linksys WRT54G
I have two other computers that are working fine with the existing wireless net work and have been for some time.
I'm pretty good with my computer but haven't touched my router since initial set-up and all that was done was a basic set up.
My I-pod is searching for a network and I'm three feet away from it but it doesn't find it.
I printed out my wireless setting. I presume SSID name equals the name box on the ipod-touch
Security = WEP
What seems to be kicking my A$$ is the password. The route setting have never been changed so I would pesume the password should be the default "admin" which I put in (JOIN) and get the "Could not find network" screen
So, I have perused this message board trying to discover and answer to mine, and and apparently many others question with no definitive results.
So I guess what I and everybody else needs is a step by step how to guide on how to discover the info needed and enter in what we need to make this work.
Thanks in advance to anybody that can actually help with this issue. A step by step do this would be nice.

Thank you Terpfen for replying, and please excuse my ill temper earlier. I've calmed down some now.
Step: 1 followed step one previously, Main screen, settings, Wi-Fi. Also set power down to 5 min to give I-Pod plenty of time to find network.
Wi-Fi Network Screen.
Wi-Fi ON
Choose a Network (searching indicator) symbol spinning.
Other ...
Ask to Join Networks ON
At this point the I-pod does not find any networks available. The indicator just spins but never returns any results. I am 3 feet for my WRT54G router.
Hence the easy connect isn't connecting.
The next step. is to manually set-up the connection.
Main screen, setting, Wi-Fi, Other.
press "Other" which brings up two fields
Name __________
Security ___________
First Question? Which Name are they looking for. when I went to my router 192.168.1.1 It has the name linksys. However, when I go to my Wireless Network setting it has the name * ???? * which is different than Linksys router.
Now, since one of the goals here is file sharing I presume I should be using the Wireless Network settings name. (which I have tried.)
Next is security, Wireless Network setting indicate setting for WEP Once this is selected you then back-up to the "Enter Network Setting Screen" and you now have a password line added.
Now I have never set a password for the router so the password for the router is the default Password "admin" And I don't recall ever setting a password for my network setting. But, I only use about three different passwords and a cycled through them still with no success.
So, I need some expert advise on how and where to find the info to input into the required field to work or what I need to reset in my router to make this work.
Thanks again for anyone who has constructive input to resolve my and probably many other peoples issues with this problem.

My ipod touch is stuck on the home screen, will not respond. Displays a gray background with the ipod logo, sliders are unresponsive. Bottom slider displays many different languages, none of them english. Maybe a virus or malware?? Restoring with itunes does not work, neither does holding down the home/sleep buttons to reset.

Try:

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

Resolve communication issues
Check the hosts file or TCP/IP filtering, which might cause communication issues between iTunes, ports, and servers.
Common errors: 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194, or 3000-3999. These alerts refer to gs.apple.com, say "There was a problem downloading the software", or say the "device isn't eligible for the requested build".

Brand new Ipod touch G4 with sound only in one earbud

I have a brand new Ipod touch G4 with sound only in one earbud. I have tried different types of headphones, but get the same result. If I jiggle the connector pin, I can get sound on both earbuds, but only on one side when the connector pin is push all the way in.
I have an older Ipod g4 without this problem
any suggestions?

Try on your ipod going to Settings-General-Accessibility. Scroll down into Hearing and see that Mono Audio is off. Maybe that's the problem.

IPod touch 3g with 2g charger

I've been trying to find a charger suitable for my third generation 32GB iPod touch, and while I've found many that are compatible with the 2nd generation iPod touch (and say nothing about 3rd generation iPods on the box), those I've tried have worked strangely. The iPod does charge, however when my iPod is connected and I try to type, using any application, some keys I didn't touch are written as if I had, and the touch interface in general works in a bit of a weird manner.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there any risk in using a 2nd generation iPod touch charger with my 3rd generation iPod touch? Do I have to use a charger specifically designed for my iPod?

A charger for a 2G Touch will work fine for a 3G ... there was a charging change between the 1st and 2nd generations, but not between 2nd and 3rd.
Your touch screen issues are very likely something else, nothing to do with your charger as long as it was designed for iPod.

PC Won't Recognize iPod Touch 5G with iOS 7.0.2

I'm having problems transferring photos on my iPod Touch 5G with iOS 7.0.2 to my laptop running Windows Vista.
When I connect the USB cable from my device to my laptop, iTunes opens and begins syncing with my device and that's all it does. Autoplay won't open. When I manually check to see if my iPod Touch is listed on my PC (Start > Computer), it's not listed. Help!

Maybe:
iOS: Unable to import photos to computer

Connecting Ipod Touch to the internet

Hi,
I've been trying to connect my ipod touch to the internet. It picks up my router and connects but won't let me access the internet?
I've reset network settings, renewed license's.
Is there something else I can try?
x

This is the official apple fix for this problem over the phone!
1. unplug router and other device if you have it for 4 minutes, Not 1 minute not 10 seconds. 4 MINUTES. Then plug back in .
2. Settings, general , reset, reset network settings.
3. Will reboot on its own.
4. It will work , I have done everything there is to get this back on and it was as simple as unplugging it for 4 minutes unlike 1 minute and then doing the reset. When it works make sure to spread some info around about this fix like I have on this forum and youtube videos. Help people out. Thanks

Is It Ok If I Charge My Ipod Touch 5 With An Ipad 4 Charger (Adapter)?

So Is It Ok To Charge Ipod Touch 5 With An Ipad 4 Charge Adapter? Will Doing This Cause Any Ipod Battery Problems?

Yes, it is fine. Apple says it is compatible and I use it too,

Since i have upgradet my ipod touch 3g with the new 5.0.1 version, i can`t upload music or pictures or apps or anything else. the synchronize button is gray and allows nothing. the i tunes version is the 10.5.3 ... please help me!

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.
