IPod touch won't work with WPA secured network
I'm trying to put my touch on my home network which has WPA security. I have a problem in that one of the characters in my 50 characters WPA key is not available on my iPod! (The " ` " character. It's not an apostrophe like " ' ". It's the one on the tilde button.) I don't even know if I had that character that it would work. Is there anyway that I can change my WPA key, or have a simpler password? It seems like I shouldn't have to input like 50 characters if I want to access my network. Is there something I configure in my network settings? Any help is appreciated.
I use WPA2 and have no problems connecting. I must clarify that I have a mixed network of Airport Extreme 802.11n (operating on 5GHz) & 802.11g (operating on 2.4GHz) routers. Only the 802.11g router's network shows on the Touch though.
You should replace the character that's not on the iPod in your network password. It should work if it's operating on the standard (default?) 2.4GHz. I don't think that 802.11g or n matters. As for entering the password on the Touch every time you want to join your network, that won't be necessary. I just double -checked. The network name and settings are memorized by the Touch.

New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3, says it needs 11.1 or newer but I cannot load that onto my MacBook running on OSX 10.5.8 - is there anyway around this?
No. If your MacBook has an Intel processor you can update to OSX 10.6.8 and then install the latest iTunes.
A 5G iPod with iOS 7 requires that if you have a Mac you have OSX 10.6.8 or later.
You can get 10.6.8 here:

My new Ipod touch won't work with my Alpine CDE-125BT car stereo.
I bought the new Ipod touch. I am dissapointed because I can't get it to work with my fairly new Apline car stereo. This radio has an ipod cable which worked with my ipod classic. I called alpine they told me to buy the Apple 30 pin to lightnig adapter, I did and it still didn't work. The radio also has bluetooth. I was able to connect ipod through bluetooth, but music wouldn't play through the radio. Is anybody having the same issue as me and is there any advice. Thanks.
Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?
It could be that the car system is not compatible with the iOS on the iPod. Sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility. I would pursue that with the car system manufacturer. Ask it they tested the car system with a 5G iPod with the adopter. -
Ipod Touch won't work with talktalk router :(
There are a lot of posts on here about people's itouch not working with certain wifi areas, I think this is one of those but am praying someone out there has an answer and I do not have to wait for an apple update.
I have used my itouch in a few different public wifi zones but cannot connect to my home secured network, it just says unable to join the network 'TalkTalk***'. I know the itouch works online and know the wifi works at home because a laptop, psp & Wii all work off it. Anyone else had this problem and managed to solve it???
Thanks in advance
LlanelliPHey there,
Glad to hear we're getting closer. Looks like you're connected to the network, just not able to utilize it's internet connection.
Let's check your iPod's IP addres. Tap Settings > Wi Fi and look for your network. To the right, there's a blue circle with a white arrow in it. Tap that circle. If the IP address starts out with 169.x.x.x, it is a self-assigned IP address. Since it came from the iPod, and not the router, it can't be used.
I would recommend resetting your iPod's network settings:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
When the iPod restarts, reconnect it to your network and try Safari again.
If it still isn't working, try powercycling your router and resetting those settings at the same time.
1. Turn off the router
2. Reset the network settings again, as indicated above
3. Turn the router back on
4. Reconnect the iPod to the network
If it still isn't working, let's check your iPod's software version.
Settings > General > About
If you've upgraded to 2.0, the latest version is 2.0.2. If you haven't upgraded, the latest version is 1.1.5. If you're not at either of those numbers, connect the iPod to your computer and use iTunes to check for software updates for the iPod.
Regarding the router settings, I'm not familiar with your router manufacturer. I'd check their website for instructions on that. I think at this point you wouldn't really need to change any settings, but just check for firmware updates.

Ipod Touch won't work with Xbox 360
Recently I was at my cousins house hanging out and we decided to plug in my iTouch to listen to music, but when we did this it started charging but wouldn't show up in the devices section so we couldn't use it. When we tried it with his 80Gb Classic it worked. It's not his 360 I tried it with my 360 and my brothers 360 and it didn't work with either of them.
If anyone else has had this problem and knows how to fix it please help me, or if you just know how to fix it.
ThanksI have had the same problem, but have not worried about it. The iPod touch is the only iPod I have noticed that does not work with the Xbox360 and it may never.

IPod touch won't work with car's USB port after sw update
I've been using my iPod with my 2011 Honda CR-V's USB port to play my music through the car's audio system without issue since I bought the car. This stopped working after the latest iPod software update a few days ago--the msg on the audio screen says it's now "unsupported". Is there anything I can do to fix this without a full restore? Why did it change? Thanks for any help.

My iPod Touch is not working with Bose SoundDock. How can I fix it?
My iPod Touch is not working with Bose DoundDock Series II. Can anyone suggest how I can get these 2 to work together?
Try:
- 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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one with a new battery for $79 Y can do the exchange at an APple store or sent it in.. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace your battery for less. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the battery yourself if you are up to it. Y can purchase a eplacement battery for about $10

My ipod touch won't connect to the wifi network?
Hello,
My ipod touch won't work upstairs in my house. It is a 32gb 3rd generation and you have to stand close to the router. My family has two other ipod touchs and both of them work up in my room. I need help on how to mak it so my iPod works. I have reset the network settings 5 times and I have restored it once. Neither of them work. I have had it since 2009 and i got the wifi router in February 2011. It worked until March break when I went to my friends house and my iPod wouldn't work unless I stood bside her laptop. there was 3 other iPod touchs that worked fne though. Can I get viruses on my iPod touch?? Please helpHere's how I solved my connection issues (I got this from doing online research):
Manually Configure Your Network: From DHCP tab, tap the STATIC tab at the top. You will be presented with 4 fields to fill in:
Field 1 is the IP Address. This address is for your iPod and it needs to be corret inorder to connect to the network. You need to know the address of your router in order to fill this field in. If you have a home network router, chances are your router address is something like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 (you need to find this in your router's manual). Set your iPod's IP address to something like 192.168.X.150 (X= the 3rd number in your router's address).
Field 2 is the Subnet Mask. Most likely, your Subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0 (as long as your router's address begins with 192.168.X.X).
Field 3 is the Router Address. This address is given to you in your router's user manual. Some manufacturers even have it written on the bottom or back of the router itself. Most likely, it will be either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 (confirm with your user manual). This address is also called the Default Gateway.
Field 4 is the DNS address. If the above fields are correctly set, these should be determined automatically. However, if they are not, you will need to get this (or these) address(es) from your Internet Service Provider. You may also obtain this information from http://opendns.com (free service).
When I first tried this procedure, I could only receive mail and not send. Later on, I could send but not receive. After a few calls to my ISP (they said they were having problems with the internet) and a lot of entering and re-entering the information, I finally gave up and early the next a.m. I input everything again and all of a sudden I was hooked up!
My ISP never could tell me why I couldn't get a connection.
P.S. The port I used was 25.
Good Luck! -
My new ipod touch 5 is working perfectly, almost. When I plugged it in to my laptop for Itunes, the laptop said the ipod needs to update to itunes 10.7 or later. The problem is it won't let me update it. Can somebody help me?
You need to be running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer to sync it. If you're using Mac OS X 10.6 through 10.6.7, run Software Update twice. If you're running Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier and have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.
If you're using Windows, what happens when you try to update it?
