You didn't indicate if it ever worked.  If it NEVER did, the problem could be caused by a firewall in the router.  For reasons that I do not understand, that will affect IOS (iPod/iPad) communication but will not affect computers or other devices.
You will need administrative access to the router.  If a firewall is present, turn it off and test the iPod again.  If it works, turn the firewall back on but weaken it a notch and test the iPod again.  Repeat as required.

  • How can you get your ipod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to wifi

    How can you get your iPod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to the Internet Connection and you don't want to reset it.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Hi, My sons i-pod touch has a picture of the i tunes logo with the USB port pointing to it.  I have tried to update the itunes but to no avail.

    My sons i-pod touch has comeoup with thelogo of i tunes wit the usb cable pointing to it. it will not respnd at all. any ideas?

    There is no such thing as "APPLESTORE" mode.
    What you need to do is connect the iPod to the computer and restore via iTunes. If iTunes does not see the iPod try the following:
    - Place the iPod in recovery mode. For how see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Place in DFU mode:

    My I pod touch has the logo and busy sign and is frozen please help
    Cheers Allan

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

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

    There are two ends to a wifi network. Try rebooting your router.

    take a look at this link   reset network settings http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/wifi/#section_5
    My bad, it doesn't really give you the details that you were looking for.
    For wifi - you would have to reenter the password.  I'm not sure about celluar data.

  • My home wifi is available at full bars on the settings menu, but when selected it says it cannot be joined, and when it does connect, it only lasts a few seconds before disconnecting. My laptop connects to the wifi perfectly fine though. Help?

    When in the Wi-Fi menu under settings, my iPod five will display the different wifi networks in range, including my home wifi network. The shown network has full bars and my laptop will connect to the network with no trouble. When the wifi on my ipod is selected though, it will show it is loading to connect, it will actually connect for five-ten or sometimes twenty seconds, and then it will disconnect. The wifi never automatically connects on my iPod5. It always has to be done manually and then does not establish a complete connection. No matter where I stand in the house, even if it is right beside the router, this happens. Sometimes when the network is chosen it refuses to connect and gives the message "Unable to Join". I've had it for a year and a half and for about the first six months it never had this problem. But then it began, and it would go through monthly cycles of working perfectly and doing what it is doing now. As of now I haven't been able to connect for three months. I'd like to think it's simply the wifi itself but mine and my sibling's laptops will connect with no trouble. It's extremely frustrating and I have no idea how to handle the problem. Please help?

    Hey Saanasaana, Have you tried going into Settings>General>Reset and tapping Reset All Settings. If still no joy... Reset Network Settings and rebooting the router. If that doesn't do it, try Settings then tap the offending Wi-Fi Network, then tap Forget this Network and re-load it, as if it was a new network.
    Your next options are to Restore. Connect to your iPod with your computer with the cable, and make new backups / copies of all your stuff to your computer first, then Restore from Backup. If that does not solve, Restore to New, a full restore. Note restore to new will wipe you iPod put it back to factory specs, that's why your need to make backups of everything on your iPod before you do it so you can reload your stuff back to your iPod. If the full restore does not solve you may have a hardware issue, contact your Apple store or Apple Genius Bar and set up an appointment to have your iPod evaluated. Good luck. Cheers.

  • I have an old PowerPC and a Macbook Pro running 10.6.7 sitting side by side. Both are using AirPort to connect to the internet wirelessly to the same router, but the old Mac connects with full bars, but the MBP struggles with only 2. Pls help, thanks!

    Yes, I could connect them by ethernet if all I wanted to do was transfer files, but I would like to network them so I could use wireless internet.  The machines are not always so close together, I did that to simplify the testing.  With the very slow transfer speeds I am reluctant to move ahead with the internet step.

  • 3G issues (full bars w/ 3G, but apps and safari won't connect)

    I recently got the 3G iphone 16gb and right now it has this problem:
    I would turn on 3G and get full bars and the 3G icon would appear, but when I try to open gmail and update, it would not connect and pop an error message "unable to retreive..." or take a really long time and not do anything at all. Same goes for Facebook app and Safari.
    Upon the failure of the app the bars would drop to zero, the 3G icon would dissappear. I would press the home screen and exit, and while it idles in the main screen, bars would go back to full and 3G would appear again.
    I would try to open Safari or apps again, and the process is repeated.
    I called FIDO my provider, and they suggested a hard restart. It worked... for 5 minutes.
    2nd time around I called and they suggested that since I was using a SIM card back from 2005, I needed the 3G enable SIM from the iPhone when it was delivered to me. Switched the line to the new SIM that came with it, and still no luck.
    Hard resets, restarts, have no effect in solving the problem. And the funny story is, I was using the 8gb 3G before this 16gb with the old 2005 SIM and it worked perfectly.
    Is it possible that something is wrong with the phone? I've made an appointment in the genius bar, but can anyone shed some light?

    I started having a similar problem 3 days ago. I'm with Rogers and new SIM card (never was on Rogers previously). I usually stay on 3G. I've done a restore (without backup) on iTunes, reset network settings, hard restore....no luck.
    I can make & receive phone calls just fine. Safari is either slow or times out (server stopped responding) and same with e-mail.
    I seem to do better with 3G disabled.
    I have had my phone for more than 4 months without a problem...until Dec 2.
    Personally, I'm beginning to think it's something with the Rogers/Fido network in certain cities, but no one at Rogers/Fido will admit to it.

    The problem would seem to be in the firewall in your router.  Have you tried disabling it? I assume you've updated the router firmware, right?  Consider bypassing the ISP provided router (using it as a modem only) and unsing another device such as an Aiport Express.

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Why when playing downloaded music on apple tv through my distributed audio, it sometimes skips like a scratched record or just stops (in pause mode and won't play again) and yet i have full bars on the wireless in home service from the mac to the appletv?

    Why when playing downloaded music on my mac through my appletv (I have distributed audio so play it through speakers not actually on the television), which is sent wireless from mac to the apple tv, does the music sometimes skip like a scratched record or stop playing (in pause mode) altogether and won't start again when I hit play?  I have full bars on the wireless icon.  Anyone experience this?

    Full bars don't tell the whole story. These issues usually stem from interference, use istumbler to verify
