My iPod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB won't connect to Wi-Fi

I've tried resetting the wireless router, resetting my iPod, restoring it even, but to no avail.  What can I do?

Thanks for your response. I didn't know about this -- just tried it, and I was able to load a web site- but then immediately the connection dropped again.  Tried it several more times, and wasn't able to connect again.  About half of my app icons are just white with no images, I wonder if there is a larger problem going on here....

  • IPod touch 2nd Gen 8gb will no longer Sync photos.

    all the posts I could find that were similar had to do with ipods that were jailbroken and on Windows.
    I have iTunes 10.1, iPhoto 6.0.6. running on OSX 10.6.5
    iPod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB OS 4.2.1
    The Problem: Since I got 4.0 and later, I have not been able to sync photos from iphoto. itunes says that it is, the bar moves and says all photos have been synced, all the photos I want synced are checked in itunes and still nothing when I check them on my ipod. iPod says no photos in album. I tried deleting the ipod cache on my mac, nothing. I tried syncing to a single file folder with the same photos, same. I tried exporting all the photos I wanted synced to a separate folder to jpg and smaller resolution, same result, no photos on ipod.
    Note. the photos used to sync up until 4.0
    I have also tried starting from scratch and putting it back to factory defaults then going from backup. Same result.
    I have tried rebooting both iMac and iPod, same thing.
    and I hate how I can't just email apple and tell them the problem.
    Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I just can't seem to find anyone else with the same problem.
    Thanks in advance for the possible help.

    I dont get an error message at all. itunes just does its normal business when syncing and says its synced, but no photos. I have never tried mobile me, so I dont think my problem is connected. I dont have $300 to get a new ipod. this makes me sad.

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen 8GB won't turn on!!

    I turned off my iPod Touch 4th gen 8GB then tried to turn it back on. It was then stuck on the Apple logo (the power on screen) and it stayed like that for a while. I left it overnight and its still on the screen. Every now and then it flickers, the screen turns black then it goes back on to the Apple logo screen and it's starting to worry me. I've only had the iPod for two months and I use it alot. Hope you can help. Thanks

  • Selling iPod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB

    Hi i was wondering if apple will buy an old ipod touch that i have 2nd gen 8GB and does anyone know about how much apple would offer

    No.
    Apple sells ipods, they do not buy them.
    They have a recycle program. They will give a 10% discount on a new ipod if you bring in an old one for recycling.

  • Ipod touch 2nd gen 8GB freezing problem

  • Water bottle spilled on my ipod touch 2nd gen 8gb . what do i do ?

    My water bottle spilled on my ipod touch 2gen 8gb and when i saw it i shut it down and i ran home and dried it off. i put it in a bag of rice for a night and i saw no progress. now the screen is black and there is no response. im scared because i have 1567 songs in there last time i synced it on itunes which was the night before
    i dont mind as much if the ipod is completely dead because its old and i can get the new one
    but im scared for my songs. is there a way i can get it back. im scared to plug it back in because im scared of shorting a circuit or something ir making the situation worse
    i dont know what to do and its in rice at the moment and im scared to plug it into my computer

    what do you mean. the songs from my ipod aren't on itunes right noww
    i think
    Its ewasy to remove any doubt.  Go to your computer and launch iTunes.  At the of the left frame you should see the word Music.  Click on Music.  You will see your music either as a list, or as a list with the album art (cover flow).  If you do not see any songs, then you're done.

  • Out of the blue, my ipod touch (2nd gen.) won't turn back on.

    I noticed my ipod touch was working a little bit slower, so I turned it off. I tried to turn it back on, and it didn't budge. I've tried to charge it with my computer multiple times (even though I know it wasn't dead), and it still won't do anything. I updated itunes and restarted my computer, still nothing. I also tried to reset it, anything.. still nothing.
    I've held down both buttons in hopes it'd turn on or reset..
    Help please!

    - After being connect to a charging source for half an hour, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so yu can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Next see if DFU mode will allow a restore.

  • IPod Touch 2nd Gen (8gb) Loads to Apple symbol, then turns off, and repeats.

    Okay so I went into my settings to do a reset on the iPod Touch. I did the reset and now all the iPod does is load the the black screen with the Apple symbol, stay on for a few minutes, turn off, and repeat.
    When I connect the iPod to ANY computer with iTunes, it doesn't even show the iPod as connected. I honestly do not know what to do.
    Does anyone have a solution on how to fix this?

    Did you by chance not have the iPod connected to a charging source during the erase? It can take hours ao a 1G and 2G iPod and fully drain the battery before it is complete.

  • Error code -120 when updating iPod touch 2nd gen 8GB to iOS 4.1

    When i try to update my iPod Touch to iOS 4.1 it gives me an error -120 and it can't backup to the computer.

    [Update and restore alert messages on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275] should be useful. I don't see error 120 specifically but I think the other info might help resolve your problem.
    Hope it helps!

  • WindowsXP shuts down when iPod Touch 2nd gen 8gb is connected

    Everything was operating fine for the first day I was using my new iPod Touch. on the second day, I think I might have disconnected the iPod too early? The iPod itself is currently operating normally, however, every time I connect it to my PC/iTunes, the PC shuts down, then goes to the HP blue screen- the one that gives the "Esc, F1 and F8" options.
    I restart and Windows says it has recovered from a serious error and wants to send the report.
    PC is ok until connection w/Ipod.

    Send the report and then wait while XP connects and tells you what the error is then you can "fix" it.
    You can also check Event Viewer to find out the error. I'm guessing you messed up Apple Mobile Device Support and may have done something to the Windows usb drivers but only the error report can tell you for sure.
    It might have nothing to do with your iPod or it might have everything to do with it but we can't help until we know what it is.
    As for disconnecting iPods, wait till iTunes it says OK to disconnect and then use that arrow icon to do it. That will avoid all sorts of problems in the future.
    If you want to end the sync early use the slider on the iPod (the one that reads cancel sync) and then use the disconnect arrow icon when you get the OK form iTunes.

  • Updating ipod touch 2nd gen (8gb) to iOS 4.1

    Hi,
    So i just bought my ipod touch just over a month ago. I was hesitant to update it, to iOS 4.1 for fear it wouldnt work. I finally caved today and went to update it, as i was doing so, it has now said i need to restore. i have done every thing imaginable to troubleshoot it.
    is there someone who can help me figure this out please?
    thanks!
    Cassie

    Sounds like you're on the right track. I'm sure it's frustrating to do the same thing again, but sometimes what didn't work the first time works the second, for some strange reason.
    Assuming you've been through [Troubleshooting security software issues|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125] without luck, this is what I'd try.
    1)Unplug all USB devices except your keyboard and mouse.
    2) Reboot your computer and turn off all anti-virus, spyware, firewall, etc software. If you're going through a wifi router, turn it off for 10 sec and then back on.
    3)Plug your device into a different USB port than before, not using a hub, and go through the steps of [Unable to update or restore|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808].
    4)If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see [this article|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495] and its related links.
    Hope this helps.

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen. Won't Connect to Internet.

    My iPod touch 4th Generation will not to my wifi. The network will pop up but when I click try to on it, it just keeps loading. I've restarted the router but I still can't connect. My computer is working fine though. (It's not an apple product though, just the iPod is.)

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iPod connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - 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.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - 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.

  • Ipod touch 2nd gen. Won't play videos anymore-all purchase on ITUNES

    All of sudden my touch is not syncing any of the videos I purchased on ITUNES. I tried reset-nothing. I don't have the ability to convert via itunes-it won't highlight that option. These were on my ipod-some even purchased on the ipod then transfered. Once transfered they disappear off the ipod and stay on itunes and then I get an error saying format doesn't work. I was able to watch them when I downloaded direct into ipod.
    I've seen similar post but nothing seemed to be exactly what I have. Can anyone help?

    - Do they play on the computer?
    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.
