Ipod won't let me into wifi at all not even to select a network. It's been like this ever since I restored my Ipod 4g and it will not let me do anything, not even download music to my ipod, restoring it also lost all of my data

     I knew that I needed to update my Ipod (4th gen) but it randomly stopped using the wifi and when I would go into "wi-fi" under "settings" the loading wheel would not stop spinning yet there are 5 wi-fi networks around me. Then I turn my ipod off, then on again and when it turned on it had an icon that was the itunes logo and a usb cord and that was it.. so I plugged my ipod into my computer got onto Itunes and it said that I needed to restore my ipod. I knew that all my data would be lost but now I can't even go into the wifi settings to select a network... it has the wi-fi connection icon(the little arcs) then "Wi-Fi" then across the bar thing it says "No Wi-Fi" I don't understand.. I do have Wi-Fi or else I wouldn't be able to type this on a computer....
     How do I hook up the wifi network selections to my ipod???

If not this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Then
- 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: 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.

  • A little black box has popped up on my computer. it tells me everything that i am doing, like a tutor. it will not going away and is messing my computer up. my 20 month old daughter was playing on it 2 days ago and it's been like this ever since. Help!

    if i enter safari, it will not let me scroll down and look at anything. it immediately will jump back up to the top! help!!!

    It sounds like she may have enabled VoiceOver on the machine.  Go to System Preferences, then click on Universal Access.  Check to see if VoiceOver is turned on, and if so turn it off and see if that resolves the issue.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT203167 I lost purchased music on my computer that was purchased in the last 4 to 5 months because of virus. I did not back up the few songs I purchased on cd. I also lost all data on my Ipod nano and had to restore it. How do I download these purchases

    I lost purchased music on my computer that was purchased in the last 4 to 5 months because of virus. I did not back up the few songs I purchased on cd. I also lost all data on my Ipod nano and had to restore it. How do I download these purchases I lost?

    Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time; you can see what content you can download here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085
    You can also re-download content using an iOS device.
    For more information, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    This if course will not apply to songs you did not buy through the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • Downloading Music From my iPod Nano to iTunes on my computer

    I previously purchased music from the iTunes store. I downloaded this music to my iPod. My HD crashed and I installed a new HD and I reloaded iTunes 7. How do I upload the music on my iPod which I previously purchased into my computer and iTunes? THank you for helping me.

    I have a question...how can I purchase tunes from other countries. Many songs do NOT come up on the search from the USA site but they do appear in searches from other countries, but when you click on "buy song" it won't allow you to purchase them unless you are in your own country...can anyone help? Is there a way around this?...thanks

  • How do i download music from one ipod to another ipod

    how do i download music from one ipod to another ipod ?

    It needs to go through your computer's iTunes library.  If all the songs on the iPods are already in your computer's iTunes library, just sync each iPod as desired from your iTunes library. 
    If the songs on your iPods are not in your iTunes library, the approach here is to first off-load the song files from the iPods to your computer's hard drive.  Then, add the song files to your iTunes library, so that it is "consolidated" with ALL of your music.
    You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once you have ALL of your music in one iTunes library on your computer, sync your iPods as desired.

  • Downloading music from my ipod to itunes

    Can someone help me in answering if it is possible to download music from my ipod to my itunes?

    There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows

    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

    Hi papadork,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you want to add new music from your iTunes Library to your iPod shuffle without erasing what is already on the iPod. The process you are looking for is called manually managing content. Please use the following article as a reference.
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
    Manually add or remove content on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod
    After following the steps above, you can add individual songs, videos, and playlists from iTunes to your device. To add content to your device:
    Select your device.
    Click "On this Device."
    Then choose "Add to" in the upper right corner.
    While viewing the media in your iTunes library, if you drag a song, video, TV show, or Movie a sidebar will appear on the right. You can drag content onto the device. You can also create and modify playlists directly on the device.
    You must import songs into iTunes before you can add them to your device. You can drag media files onto the iPod or iPad in iTunes to add them to the device without adding them to the iTunes library.
    When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad.
    I hope this helps,   
    -Joe

  • Is there any good app that i can download music to my ipod?

  • HT1925 how can i download music from my ipod to a cd disk?

    Can download music from my ipod nano to a cd disk?

    Whoa! I didn't "recommend" any software for you to download. I merely pointed you to a link which contains suggestions/instructions on how to move music from the iPod to the computer. Option 2 in that link for instance doesn't need any software download.
    In any event, all you should have been doing is copying the music from iPod to computer and it's difficult to know what you did that caused the music to be erased from your iPod.
    Any music not on your iPod or computer is lost unless you want to try some data recovery software (assuming you haven't begun to write over the iPods hd). It's not guaranteed that you'll recover any music this way, and this type of software is rarely free.
    Sorry to say this, but this is just another example of why it's not a good idea to keep the music on your iPod only.
