My ipod touch (2nd generation) connects to my wifi but does not give me internet
I have an Ipod touch (2nd gen). I did a factory restore yesterday and not I can't connect to the internet. I am connected to my wifi. I see the wifi symbol on my ipod touch. However, when I try to go on safari or other apps that use internet such as weather, it says: Safari cannot open the page because it is not connectged to the internet. I know my wifi is working because I am using it to send this message. I have tried restarting my ipod and as well as forgeting the network and reconnecting to the network, but I still get the same problem.
Thank you for your help
- Do other devices successfully connect tot he network?
Does the iPod successfully connect to other networks?
Try:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: 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
- Resetting network Settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

MY APPLE TV SHOWS THAT iT IS CONNECTED TO MY WIFI, BUT CAN NOT ACCESS THE INTERNET
my apple tv found my wifi, but can not access the internet??
I have been on the phone with Apple, done all of the trouble shooting they have recomended. When I attempt to connect it to the internet I get a message reading "your apple tv is connected to your wi-fi but cannot connect to the internet. I have plugged the modem right into the apple tv and it still won't work. This is the second device I've used. (apple gave me a new one after the first didn't work). I just thought there might be someone out there who had the same issue and knows how to resolve it.

Ipod nano 2nd generation is seen by computer but will not format
The windows computer using Itunes sees the Ipod and restore gets to format, but cannot complete the job. The devices shows 0 space available.
I spent 2.5 hours on the phone with Apple and they were stumped. We tried everything!!! uninstalling itunes, updating "usb mass storage" drivers, etc...
I have an ipod touch 16gb, Gateway computer using Vista, and my computer recognized the ipod but itunes didn't start up when I plugged it in and it was not recognized in itunes.
Long story short, after reading almost every thing I could find on google and Apple help I stumbled onto the info about the 2.0 usb port. In looking to see if my computer had a 2.0 usb port (just to be sure)I found that it would be listed as "enhanced" in the Universal Serial Bus Controller section of Device Manager. Sooooo, I tried updating those drivers and it worked! I think. I did so many things, but this seemed to do the trick. It's worth a try. Mine is working perfectly now.
start
control panel
device manager
universal serial bus controllers
right click on the "enhanced host controller" (mine listed 2, so I did both)
choose automatic update
then plug in the ipod. That seemed to allow my ipod to download the proper driver. Tadaaa - itunes started and my ipod is now recognized in itunes.
Worth mentioning is that my ipod had to do a restore. Not sure why, maybe it was something apple had me try.
GOOD LUCK!! -
My ipod touch got stolen, i want to find out by my apple id, could it be possible without find my phone, activated?
No
lost/stolen
No app on the iPod is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or conbtinue to show off-line.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
iCloud: Erase your device
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

Hi Imminnie,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If iTunes doesn't recognize your iPod touch, this article may help:

If issues persist, a thorough removal and reinstall of iTunes would be the next thing to try:

I have had my ipod touch 2nd generation for 3 yrs. Now its been a year with this problem but i never seem to get it fixed because i lost my warranty and repair certificate a year ago. So the problem is whenever I put in a headphone jack for some reason only the right head phone or right speaker works not the left, but when i place the ipod on the docking port both speakers on my stereo work.
Now I have taken great care of this thing. Never lost it. I assume that a connection inside the jack port is pushed in from debrie (forgot how to spell that word) because, I always place my ipod into my pocket. The only way to get the left speaker or headphone to work is to push on the headphone jack so it tilts, then the left speaker works; but when i release it the left speaker or headphone turns off or stop making sound. So i know its not wiring problems its the connection for the headphone jack to the ipods jack's connection for the left speaker. Though microphones work.
My question is can this be a DIY or do i have to take it in to a local apple store. Problem i lost the warranty and protection repair form or license 2 years ago. I have had no problems with my ipod at all these years until this problem has consisted to happen since last year.
Anything?
Thanks,

IPod touch 2nd generation will not connect to home wifi
My ipod touch 2nd generation will not connect to the internet. I am using a BT modem and this is a new problem. Until recently, I had no problem with this connection and it will connect to BT Fon and BTOpenworld. I just cannot get it to connect at home any more. I also use a macbook pro and this is connected to the bt modem.
You should post this in the iPod Touch forum. This is the iPod Shuffle forum.

i just bought this ipod touch 2nd generation and te wifi is greyed out ive tried resetting and looking for airplane mode but its not there any help please????
See:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

I have an Ipod Touch 2nd generation. I bought a Itunes card and when I went to add game apps(like Temple Run) to my Ipod it said I couldn't.Is there a way to upgrade this ipod without having to buy a new one to be able to play the games?
You can update it to 4.2.1
Open itunes, connect ipod. If there is an update available, then it will prompt you to update. -
My current laptop is about three years old and got a virus. Had to wipe it clean. Now my Ipod Touch-2nd generation is not recognizing it as the primary original computer and says it is registered on another computer. What can I do to safeguard my library of songs on the Ipodtouch. Any suggestions?
Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

My Ipod Touch 2nd Generation Froze And Is Trying To Install ALL Of My Apps!
A few hours ago my ipod touch 2nd generation froze, and then it took about 15 minutes to unfreeze. Now it's working very slow. I soon realized that it's trying to istall ALL of my apps I've downloaded since I got my ipod. I had to attempt to shut off the wifi so it would stop. right now over 25 apps are on Pause. I don't want to restore my ipod because I last did a backup about a few months ago. My computer is out of memory, and it's a very slow computer. I recently send an email to apple because of an issue I had with two missing itunes store purchases that it deleted off of my ipod when I connected it with itunes. They never emailed me back and it's been over 24 hours. Could apple be attempting to send me back ALL of the things I've purchased and downloaded with my account? If they are, IT'S NOT FUNNY
- First try restoring from backup
- If problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If still a problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
Why Can't I put my Ipod Touch 2nd generation into recovery mode?
I have an ipod touch 2nd generation. I set a passcode on the ipod and then i forgot it. i tried everything and nothing worked and eventually it got locked fully and says "connect to itunes" on it. This is a problem because i no longer have the computer that i last synced to. i have a new laptop now and i threw away the old one.
I know how to fix it. I just have to put it into recovery mode and then restore it.
For some reason, i can't put it into recovery mode. I tried all different methods.
these are the ones i tried:

when i try to do the part of recovery mode where you have to start up the ipod. it doesn't go into recovery mode. it just starts up and pops up on itunes saying i have to unlock the ipod in order for the device to connect to Itunes!
Please help!Nevermind! after countless tries, i was able to get it into recovery mode!
