My ipod touch no longer will connect to internet? it will not even let me connect to wifi
i bought my ipod touch in 2010. i loved it. i could connect to the internet and everything.. after a recent update, i can no longer connect to the internet.. i cant even turn wifi on now.. any reason why? and solutions?
If wifi is grayed out, go here:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
Frequently, it is due to a hardware problem and an appointment to the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

It works for many users. In some cases the white screen is due to a hardware problem and there is nothing that one can do short of getting someonet to know what they are doing and take the iPod apart andmaybe fix the hardware problem.

Thanks for responding. Since I upgraded ITUNES to IOS 6, my IPOD Touch no longer works at all. I had numerous apps, music and videos on this touch. It made me restore to factory reset and it still does not work!!! Nothing I do will work on this touch now. I have so much data on this, I don't want to loose or have to restore!
Can you help me?
ThanksIf you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

Newer 32GB iPod Touch no longer connects to MacBook.
My newer 32GB iPod Touch no longer connects to my MacBook at all. All has worked fine until yesterday. All cables and USB port check out fine with older iPod. Touch still works beautifully but charge is dwindling. Since it's not recognized by MacBook no charge icons show up. I ran the trouble shooting pages in Apple Support, did all the resets, repaired permissions, reinstalled iTunes, etc. Any suggestions out there? Thanks!
Whenyou plug the iPod into the computer via USB does the iPod's screen show the iPod is charging? (The computer has to be on)
Look at the dock connecort on the iPod and compare it with the dock connector for the iPod that does work. Look for foreign material, bent, broken or corroded contacts and other abnormalities. -

IPod Touch No Longer Syncs After Upgrade to 10.8.3
I recently upgraded my computer from OSX 10.5 to 10.8.3. But while my iPad seems to sync fine, my iPod touch no longer syncs and it is not recognized by the Apple store. Please help!
When I plug in my ipod, a message pops up that says:
"This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPod (my ipod name). Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?
>If you do not authorize this computer, 191 songs will be removed from the iPod"
I click "authorize"
Enter my apple ID (note that for some reason it keeps bringing up an apple id from 2006, even though the computer and ipod are from 2011 and 2010.)
Then it says "this computer is already authorized"
And every time I plug it in, the same thing happens.
Sorry I wasn't clear before. -
1st Gen ipod touch no longer keeping time
As the title says my 1st gen ipod touch no longer keeps time when I let it go completely flat. It keeps resetting itself back to the default time and date. Started happening in the last 6 months. I'm running IOS 2.2.1 never bothered updating to IOS 3 because of a known issue with the volume bar disappearing which I don't think had even been fixed. It hasn't been synced with the itunes for 2-3 years. The laptop with the itunes library for this device hasn't worked for a couple of years and haven't sync my ipod to a new computer due to some of the apps I used and some of my song/video purchases no longer being available and I don't want to risk losing those purchases if doing a factory resets not going to make a difference. Battery life for my ipod is still pretty good, get 3 weeks out of it when I leave it in standby mode using it for an alarm clock and about a week listening to music going to and from work only a few hours playing games or videos but that was never to great to begin with. My Ipod touch does have a cracked screen, but it's been cracked for the last 5 years. No other problems. Is else have this issue? Will factory reset make a difference or is it just something to put up with till my ipod touch dies?
It sounds like the battery is really dying and does not have enough voltage to maintain the time when the iPod shuts off due to low battery.
You can try restoring to factory settings/new iPod and see if that helps. -
Some of my apps on both my iPad and iPod Touch no longer have sound. Others still do. I checked general settings. Any other ideas of how to fix this?
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Ipod Touch No longer working after Eleven days
I had been carefully checking blogs about which ipod touches had issues to make sure that mine was not part ok week 37. Nothing had gone wrong for the first week of use and i was pretty happy beyond a few small problems that i could live with. Like Freezing up when the battery was low, low wi fi connection, the touch screen not reacting to touch, and the fact that occasionally a song would just stop playing. But then about two days ago i turned on my touch aware that the battery was going low and was shocked when the screen continued to flash black to white, turing on and off about every 4 seconds. The power button is unresponsive, it will not let me reset is manually and now it does not register on my computer and when it is plug in the screen turns completely white then to pink and green ( Like when you computer is defragmenting). I cant do anything, its gone. about three days has gone by and im ready to return it, but i cant deside if i should completly return it and get a refund wait a month and get another, or try my luck with possibly getting another ipod with issues.
You are aware that since you have week 37, you might as well go exchange for a new one. I hear week 38 and 39 are okay, so if you do plan on exchanging it then get week 39. I have a week 39 and so far yet, I have not encountered any problems.

I have just received a brand new IPOD Touch ,it will not turn on, i have connected it to my cmputer, it does not show that its charging and is not recognised in Itunes. I have tried the holding down the power and home buttons which also didnt work. Any Ideas Please ????
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

IPod touch no longer synching playlists
Hi,
A couple of days ago, my iPod Touch no longer syncs playlists. I have a couple of playlists with a few hundred songs. The playlist shows up on the iPod in the playlist menu, but if you go into the playlist, it only shows 2 or 3 songs. But if you go under songs, all the songs are there.
Steps I've taken to fix this:
1. Reset iPod. No change.
2. Deleted and created a bunch of entirely new playlists, error still occurs.
3. Restored iPod to factory settings. No change.
4. Uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled. No change.
Has anyone seen this before? It's very annoying. I'm stuck listening to all my songs on shuffle, even if I just wanted to listen to a select few I put in the playlist.Auto-synching.
The playlist is a Smart Playlist, created with the following rule:
"name" "starts with" and then the letter, which I change daily.
Options checked are:
Limit to 10gb selected by random
Match Only Checked Items
Live Updating
Again, when I sync, all the songs make it over, but the playlist is empty or only contains a couple of songs. This only seems to happen with Smart Playlists. If I select all the songs in the smart playlist, then create a new playlist based on the selection, this will sync properly. -
Ipod touch no longer charges with USB nor does it output sound through the connector
2 problems after the latest iOS update:
(1) my 3rd generation iPod Touch no longer changes when connected to the computer through the USB connection. It says that the device is not supported for connection through USB. My computer is running Snow Leopard and all software is up to date.
(2) it also does not output sound through my clock radio nor through the built-in ipod connection in my MINI.
This all worked great until the latest iOS update. Something broke in the latest update.
anyone else seeing this issue?You can try the standard fixes:
- 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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem then the iOS broke full compatibility. you have to then wait for either Apple to fix the problem in an iOS update or for Honda to fix it via a firmware update/
Have you contacted Honda? -
Since my IPOD Touch upgraded to IOS 8.1.2 it will not play well with my 2013 Charger's UConnect entertainment system. It will not build a library so I can not Browse or Shuffle. The only thing it does is list all the songs alphabetically when connected via USB.
- Contact the manufacturer/go to their support site.
- Sometimes this works
- 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.
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
Sometimes and ISO update breaks compatibioity and a firmware update the the dock is required or an iOS update is required.
Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
