My ipod touch's wifi range is very short and it's wifi is slow.

I own a iPod touch 3rd generation, and its version 4.3.5. It cannot detect the wifi unless the router is right next to it and the wifi disconnects as I walk a few feet away from the router. The download and uploading speed is slow as well... Any suggestions?

Does it work that way at other networks?
If yes yu can try the standard fixes in order
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Restore the iPod from backup
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod
If only slow on your network then I suspect a problerm with your network/router.
If slow everywhere then I suspect a hardware problem with the iPod and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

mine is ipod touch 1st generation..its very hard to find the accessories, where can i find it? and some application couldnt work, for example: nike+

What "accessories" are you looking for?
The Nike+ app now requires iOS 4, and since that version of iOS won't run on a 1st-generation iPod touch, you will not be able to run that app.

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.

Yesterday my iPod touch's home button would not work and to day it is completely turned off and wont turn back on and it is fully charged and when i connect it to itoons it dosent reckinise it

yesterday my iPod touch's home button would not work and to day it is completely turned off and wont turn back on and it is fully charged and when i connect it to itoons it dosent reckinise it

Given the information supplied, it sounds very similar to what happened to my wife's 4. Locked up...came back on with a blank (bluish) screen...could here emails and text coming through. It would get very hot as well. Our local apple store tried two times to rescue it, ultimately rendering it complete inoperable. I'm sorry to say in our case we had to buy a refurb and trade in the phone for $150, which actually wasn't a bad deal.
There could be other information I'm missing, but I would start with seeing if apple can restore your phone. If they can't, then I'm pretty sure it's dead.

Ipod touch 3.1.1 free app open and close

hehe, I was teasing...
I found a web page about the same problem we have: http://ipodtouchtricks.net/ipod-touch-tutorials/application-opens-and-closes-qui ckly-problem-on-ipod-touch/
"First: You must try is a reboot or restarting your iPod Touch( iPod Touch 2G jailbreakers have to follow the boot process again). Restarting your iPod refreshes the memory of iPod Touch and chances are that your applications will be running fine after a restart. It is also recommended that you should restart your iPod Touch once in a week.
Second: The app doesn’t meant for your iPod Touch
Third : The app isn’t available in your country and you might be using .ipa files for installation, if you have this problem with .ipa files then try another version or latest version of the app and it might work.
Fourth: Use applications that frees memory, i recommend a restart though.
Most of the time, a simple restart solves the closing app problem.
Let me know your valuable thoughts, have you ever faced this problem
dont know if those helps...

A data recovery company MAY be able to do it for a price. The Disabled is a very good security feature.
JWhy not just restore from the last backup you have?

I got my ipod touch (4th generation) on March 20,2012, and it fell out of my pocket and cracked the screen. I would like to know how much it costs to get it repaired and how much insurance costs. Thank you for your time.

I got my ipod touch (4th generation) on March 20, 2012, and it fell out of my pocket when I jumped. Unfortunantly, the screen cracked very badly, and it has become a hazard, not only for the many cuts I have gotton on my fingers from the ipod screen's broken glass, but for what I type (because the screen is cracked so badly, I cannot see what I am doing). The ipod has become pointless to own in its condition. I would like to know how much the repair would be, where the best place to get it done is located, and how much future insurance would cost in the United States. Thank you for you time.

See "Repair Pricing."
No clue where you can purchase insurance but it's probably not worth the price.

Set up ipod touch to cox email, ive tried everything and cant get it to work. thanks!

set up ipod touch to cox email, ive tried everything and cant get it to work. thanks!

Here's an answer from the net:
Go to Settings/Mail,contacts,calendars/Add account choose other, choose Add Mail Account. Fill in name, email address, password and description on the screen that comes up. Save those.
One the next screen tat comes up click om POP in the first line then fil in the host name as
spop.west.cox.net or spop.east.cox.net or the one to go with your region.
Note that is not a misprint, that is spop (secure pop)
Fill in your username one more time (the password should have carried over from previously)
Fill in your outgoing mail server like smtp.west.cox.net (change for your region) and click Save.
When all the settings are verified a checkmark will appear next to them all and you are good to go.
If it says something like "can't connect via SSL would you like to ..." then you probably missed the step about selecting POP on the second screen and are trying IMAP so go back and try over with POP. Or perhaps mistyped soemthing.
Once everything is working you can go back into the settings and see that it has automatically connected on port 995 and that SSL is on
Note that you probably won't be able to send email from a wifi in a cafe or similar as cox won't let you connect to their smtp from outside their network.
I haven't tried receiving mail from a non cox connected wifi yet but I suspect it will work just fine. Anyway these settings work for me using my ipod to my home wifi router connected to cox.
I could not find a definitive guide when I searched so I hope this helps other folks trying to configure this.
I got the spop from "Mail for Mac OS X 10.5 configure SSL / POP" here:

IPod touch dropped on the ground while charging and now won't charge

Long story short, my wife was charging her iPod touch, one of our kids walked by and knocked the iPod to the ground and yanked the cord that was connected and now the iPod won't charge. If we wiggle the portion of the cord that's attached to the iPod (not the USB connected to the mac) it will make the sound like it is connected and then disconnects. We have found that if we sit the iPod a certain way sometimes it will charge but not 100% of the time. It almost seems like it is losing the connection in the cord but we have tried 3 different cords. Any suggestions on ways to make a tighter connection (think sticking the pencil in the old school Nintendo to keep your game cartridge to connect)?

Worste case, Apple shoud exchange yours for this price:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
This place does not mentions a dock connector replacement but you can call and ask them.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
You can Google fo others.
I would first make and appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to verify/determine the cause of the problem.

I have just added a third iPod touch to our family collection of devices and iTunes won't allow me to add any of the apps to it. I can add songs etc but not apps. Any ideas?
