IPod Touch won't recognize Sonos

I am hung up in the Sonos Ipod Touch setup process. I installed Sonos client on my ipod touch. When it searches for a system to join and I press Mute+Vol Up on my zoneplayers, the ipod does not recognize my Sonos whatsoever.
Here is my setup:
Cable Internet to
Motorola Cable Modem to
Linksys Wired Router to
Sonos
I plugged an Apple Airport Express into the Linksys Wired router and the internet works fine on my ipod touch. Again, doesn't recognize Sonos.
I called Sonos support on Friday and got what sounds like good advice: the Apple Airport Express needs to be configured as a bridge. I have searched forum after forum (many non-Sonos) and I just can't figure out how to make this work.
My configuration is not that unusual -- please help me!!! The main reason I got an ipod touch was to serve as another Sonos remote!
Thanks in advance

Personally, I would retire the Linksys router and use your Airport Express as your primary router. Then if you need additional ethernet ports, you can setup your Linksys router as a bridge and use it as a four port switch (or you can just buy a 4 port switch really cheap).

  • IPod Touch Won't Recognize USB Cables

    My 4th gen iPod Touch no longer recognizes my USB cables. They won't work through my computers and they won't work through a wall charger. My iPod charges fine through my JBL Sound Stage, it's just a problem with the cables. If I plug either cable into my iPod, nothing happens. No beeps, no messages, no charging screen, nothing.
    I think I can pinpoint the problem until shortly after I purchased a spare cable, but that may very well be a coincidence. I've been using a third party wall charger, so that could be an issue as well- but it has never been a problem until after I purchased the new cable (can cables "burn out"?). I'd reset my iPod, but I need a cable to do that. So far I've just been charging via my JBL Sound Stage and syncing over WiFi.

    If you have tried multiple computers and multiple USB sync cables, that definitely points to a hardware issue with your iPod Touch.  Have you check the dock connector port for any signs of damage or debris that could be blocking or preventing the connection?  Take a can of compressed air and trying blowing it out and using a Q-tip or similar to clean the contacts.
    You'll likely need to have the iPod serviced or replaced.  If still under warranty, take it into your local Apple store and see what they can do for you.

    I wanna buy a new screen but I don't wanna buy it and it be a waste of money so can someone please help me?

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • My iPod touch won't recognize in itunes..

    I have Version 4.1 (it's an older iPod touch). Whenever I plug in my iPod to the computer, it doesn't even pop up in the device manager list in iTunes.
       Any ideas?

    Try here:

  • IPod touch won't recognize new security questions

    I set my daughters iPod up using my email address.  She received an iTunes gift card which she wanted to use.  We redeemed it per the instructions on the back, and then she went to rent a movie.  At this point the device stated that since nothing had been downloaded on the device, I had to enter my Apple ID and password.  THEN, it asked me to answer 2 security questions, one of which I obviously did not know the answer to, or perhaps typed wrong when I was entering it.
    I followed the instructions for resetting the security questions, and the one question it was asking me "Which is the least favorite car you have owned?" was not even one of the choices to BE changed.  I went ahead and changed all 3 of the questions and saved the changes.  Unfortunately, when I go back into iTunes on her iPod, it is still asking me the same 2 questions that it was prior to me changing them.
    So, essentially, because I don't know what my least favorite car has ever been, my daughter will never be able to download anything onto her iPod touch.
    HELP!

    Maybe this previous discussion will help:

  • IPod touch won't recognize my password

    All of a sudden, when I turn on my iPod touch & attempt to put in my password, I'm told the p/w is incorrect & it says to try again in 15 minutes.  I haven't changed the p/w since I got it, so what's going on? 

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • My 4th gen iPod touch won't recognize the remote feature on earbuds other than Apple earpods - anyone else had this issue?

    Apple earpods don't fit my ears well, so I bought a pair of Sony earbuds a few months ago. When they came, I noted that I could turn volume up and down, but the remote portion didn't work - couldn't pause or skip music. They weren't the highest quality so I assumed it was a fluke.
    I just got a new pair of earbuds and same issue! The volume works but the remote does nothing. I tried to use my boyfriend's Apple earpods with my touch and the remote works fine. Also, the new earbuds I got work, remote and all, on his 4th gen Nano.
    I can't seem to find anything online about why these earbuds that are supposed to be compatible wouldn't be working. I've cleaned out the audio jack so it's not a lint issue, plus it really does work just fine with Apple earpods, only alternatives don't work. And again, I can hear fine and the volume can be controlled but the remote to pause and play and skip isn't recognized at all.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    So just in case anyone else ever runs into this...
    I solved the issue and it was that between the plug of the new earbuds being slightly thicker than the Apple earpods, and the width of the case that I was using for my iPod, there wasn't a connection being made to activate the remote function.
    I took off the case and now the earbuds work exactly as they should!

  • My computer was rebuilt and now my ipod touch won't recognize it as an authorised devise what do I do

    I would like to know how to authorize my computer now that it has been rebuilt? My "old computer" no longer exists, as this technicly is my "old computer" just new insides. I need to be able to manage my devises that are linked to my i touch, so that I can sinc it. It's been almost a full year since it's been sinced, and I don't want to lose my stuff!

    I am not clear as to your problem. Maybe:
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
    or maybe:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with               
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or               
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • My 4th gen iPod Touch won't charge

    Hi, folks:
    Suddenly, my 4th generation iPod Touch won't charge. I don't mean it won't hold a charge; I mean it WON'T charge. There's no (peep!) when I attach it to a Mac, a Windows box, or to the wall. I've tried not only at my place but at my doctor's office, too, on his computer. Rats.
    It fell three feet onto a concrete floor a week before this happened, so I'm unsure of cause/effect there. However, chances are most excellent that I touched it while filled with static electicity (my bed is exceedingly staticky). Maybe I touched the charging port? I have no idea, but I kinda sorta have a memory of having gotten a shock while touching my pod and wondering whether that was bad.
    It'll be a couple more days before I can get to a Genius Bar (but thank cow I'm in New York City and have my pick of them!). In the meantime, can anyone calm me down about my situation? Do you imagine it's doomed (it IS still operable provided I keep it plugged in, though iTunes can't see it since it won't mount), or do you spose the installation of a new battery might bring my precious baby back to me? It IS freshly backed up (again, thank cow!), but I'm not in a position to buy a new one right now, and unfortunately, I don't know what to do with my eyeballs without a Touch in front of them.
    Oh, how I hope someone can tell me that this has happened to him, and an Apple Genius merely did something magical and handed it back intact and amazing again so Ican cry happy tears. It's been four days and I'm just sick without it (and having to look at this gigantic Mac, with its large and beautiful text in many windows, means I can't RECLINE! WAAAAH!).
    Thanks for any soothing words you have, and if you have sad ones, well, I'll vag up and read them, as I've prepared for the worst anyway (sob!). Just please deliver them gently.
    I appreciate it!

    Wow, Kevin; that's a tantalizing theory! I don't like it (I *never* like to think about logic board damage for any piece of hardware), but it's tantalizing, as it would explain my pod seemingly charging out of thin air, and it'd also explain why my pod doesn't just DIE altogether from a dead battery.
    I feel like an idiot: I have iTunes set to never sync automatically with my pod, so it never automatically recognizes the pod. I'll bet I could sync it if I clicked to "apply," as I've been downloading new apps since 2/21 (the last time I backed the pod up, mere minutes before it failed), but I don't want to risk not having a connection that's 100% and bollixing up what's on the pod now. (I'll be in the hospital for a day and will need something to read the whole time; I'll need an intact pod!)
    Thanks for sticking with me, Kevin; I always like figgering things out, and your theory's interesting. I'll mention it to the Genius. It doesn't give me any hope, but not having any hope, I can always be pleasantly surprised, whereas if I go in all hopeful, someone can dash my dreams. This way, I'll prolly just have my expectations met.
    I appreciate your talking it out with me a lot!

  • My computer no longer recognizes my iPod Touch. And the iPod Touch does not recognize that it is connected to a computer.

    My computer no longer recognizes my iPod Touch. And the iPod Touch does not recognize that it is connected to a computer.  It has worked great for many days until today.
    I’ve tried two different Apple cables.
    I’ve tried different USB ports on the computer.
    I have rebooted both the Mac and the iPod.
    I’ve wiggled the cables and checked for dust in the connectors.
    The iPod charges using this same cable connected to wall wart.  That’s a good sign.
    Both the Mac and iPod seem to work fine separate from each other.  They just won’t talk anymore.
    Mac mini
    1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo
    OS 10.4.11
    iTunes 9.2.1
    iPod Touch 32GB, version 3.1.3 (7E18), model PB533LL 

    I found this possible solution on another support thread, so I tried it.
    turn off iPod
    hold Sleep and Home buttons to start it.
    When Apple appears, let go of Sleep button, but keep holding Home button.
    When screen goes blank, let go of Home button.
    Connect cable and check iTunes to see if it has conencted.
    This did not work for me.
    I then turned off the iPod, restarted the Mac, and restarted the iPod normally.
    I connected them with the cable, and it works like normal.  :-)

  • My ipod touch won't allow me to log into messenger

    My daughter's ipod touch will not recognize messenger any longer...even though her email is confirmed.  Also, the ipod won't recognize our wifi info...we have tried to reset the ipod to no avail...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thx

    - Try tapping the screen twice with three fingers to get to normal and then go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn Voice-Over over.
    - If unsuccessful, connect the iPod to its syncing computer and go to the Summary pane for the iPod in iTunes.  Click on Configure Universal Access and turn Voice-Over off.

  • Ipod touch won't finish restore

    ipod touch won't finish restore.  It has apple logo with almost completed bar and it stops.  itunes still says restoring ipod software.  Just updated itunes.

    I had the same problem and the sad thing is that you wont find any solution, I left my ipod over night with the apple logo screen and the loading bar almost full but it wouldnt move, next day it was still there, I had to unplug it, and I'm pretty sure this cause irreversible damage to your device in the long term since itunes warn you no to disconnect the ipod while the sync is being done and it also messed up my computer, I had to force it to shut down since it got stuck with itunes trying to restore my ipod, you just need to keep conecting your ipod until itunes recognize it as an ipod in recovery mode then it will sync again and everything should work this time, that is what happened to me. Good luck.

    It appears that there is something incorrect with your billing information. You need to correct it.  For a standard account you need a valid payment method even for free apps.  You can however create a new account that is only good for apps by:

    The two have to be the same and the payment method for your account also has to be associated (billing address, where iTunes gift card was purchased) with that country.
