My ipod 5g says it is 1969 and will not let me connect to the internet

When I charged my ipod touch 5g and it turned on it said it's 1969 and won't let me connect to the internet. I've restarted my ipod, I've tried resetting all settings including network and I tried connecting it to itunes but it won't connect to itunes due to an unknown error. How do I get my ipod to connect to the wifi and reset to the correct date and time?

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
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 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.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen 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."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

    In the optional install items-Quick Time is not an option. I am on Leopard.
    Then you either:
    1) never had QT X installed and could not have deleted it since QT X is only installed on Snow Leopard (OS X v10.6), Lion (OS X v10.7), and Mountain Lion (OS X v10.8) systems or...
    2) you are actually running Snow Leopard (OS X v10.6) and not Leopard (OS X v10.5) as you just stated.
    Please confirm which statment is actually correct.

  • HT5622 When I try to update my apps in the App Store it says sign in required and will not let me update then

    When I try to update my apps it says sign in required and will not let me update them

    I suspect you have apps that need updating that were purchased from more than one account
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • When I close firefox it warns me that I am closing multiple tabs. and will not let me save them. the only option is cancel or OK.

    This just started. When I close firefox it warns me that I am closing multiple tabs. and will not let me save them. the only option is cancel or OK. When I say OK and restart Firefox all my tabs are going:-( This happens every time now. I know how to get my old tabs back but every time I close Firefox it always warns me that I am closing multiple tabs.
    Tanks for helping me get me Firefox working correctly again

    Do not use "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the "Browsing History".
    *Tools > Options > Privacy: History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
    Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.

  • Disk Partition says "Locked" and will not let me unlock using the perm.

    Hello,
    Just a quick question here, I recently set disk permissions on one of my partitions on each mac pro, I set the permissions for all enclosed items so that it set them over the whole disk. How do I undo this? There is a lock icon on the partition and I cannot access it...thanks

    Yes they are system boot partitions, I did this because last time I re-imaged the computers they had a bunch of permissions problems, I didnt realize I would not be able to use the partition if i farmed out the permissions, I checked the box that said "Ignore permissions on this volume" and it still says "Custom" for all of them and will not let me access the drive even on the Admin account. If i use the disk utility to erase and then re-image my "Manage Drive" and set it back to a boot disk do you think that would work, thanks for the replies you guys are awesome.

  • I downloaded the new version and it has reverted to the old and will not let me re-install the new because it thinks it is installed

    I downloaded the new version of Pages and it has reverted to the old version.  It will not let me re-install the new version because it thinks it has it installed

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • My grandson bought a used ipod....we want to use our library to download.  My computer does not recognize it and will not let me sinc.  The previous owners name comes up.... help

    My grandson bought a ipod from a friend.  We want to use our itunes music.  It shows the old owners name and does not give us an
    option to download any music.
    Any help?
    The previous owner cleaned out all the music, videos and pictures. 
    But not sure how to restore back to factory. 

    Hi,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Sorry to say that you cannot use an iPod Touch as an "external" drive, unlike the "Classic" etc. which I believe have this feature.
    To transfer your library you will have to back it up to disc(s), a different type of HD or use a network to send the files over.
    Good luck,
    Dud.

  • I am running mac osx 10.5.8, but FireFox is giving me a message that it is not compatible with my version of osx and will not let me install. The web site says it is compatible with osx 10.5. Am I missing something?

    I was able to download the current version of FireFox but when I tried to install, I got a message that FireFox is not compatible with my current os. What else should I consider or try doing to get FireFox to work?

    Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do NOT have; yours is a PPC Mac) '''''<u>and</u>''''' OSX 10.5 or higher.

  • TS1538 I have a 1st generation iPod touch.  It will not let me connect to the iTunes store.  How can I fix this?

    We were given this iPod touch from a friend.  Here is what I have done so far.  Reset it back to factor settings.  Added my music.  Set up the wifi through my home internet.  And it keeps telling me that it cannot connect to iTunes.  Don't know what else to do.  Have tried to look on this community for answers and haven't found ones that I haven't tried yet.  I did see somewhere where there was an update for the iPod touch.  It was 4.95 on the iTunes store.  Wondered if that might help.  Don't want to pay for something that won't work.  Thanks!

    I would update. You need the update for apps.
