My new iPod Touch (4th gen) Won't Connect To My Home Wireless Network

Hi Out There,
I just recieved my new iPod Touch yesterday, inputed my SSID (Network Name), security type WPA2 and password key and It won't connect. Can anyone tell me if I have to do anything else like fill in all the other fields like IP address, mac address, subnet mask, default gateway or anything else like that or should it have connected with the info i provide as I feel this is the sufficient enough information for it to connect but as far as those other fields that I've mentioned does it auto-fill in those other fields when after it connects? Cannot get on.
Thanks for your responses

Finally figured it out and Apple doesn't even mention this in their article. I did what some other guy did. I took the Touch's physical address or (Mac address as they often refer to it and put the mac address of the Touch in my router's mac address filter list and "Bang" the internet came right on. Problem solved.

  • IPod touch (4th gen) won't connect to my wifi after being lost

    I lost my iPod touch (4th gen) yesterday so "locked" it using iCloud. The nice folks at the vet office found it and I retrieved it today. Noticed it wasn't actually locked, could listen to podcasts and open apps right away, and it syncs fine when I connect it to my computer. But it won't rejoin my home wifi, doesn't even ask for password, just says unable to join. Network is fine, or I wouldn't be able to leave this question! Thanks for any help...

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device 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 your router

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen won't connect to my computer, charge or connect to iTunes.

    Okay, here is the issue. My computer runs Windows Vista. Ever since I have updated iTunes to 11.0.2, my iPod touch hasn't been able to connect to the computer at all. I don't know if there is any correlation between the update and my issue, but I need someone to be the judge of that. Apple has suggested that you uninstall iTunes, QuickTime, etc. restart the computer and then reinstall them. So I have done that multiple times, and my iPod still won't connect to the computer. My sister's iPod touch, 4th gen just like mine won't connect to iTunes or the computer either. I have spent a lot of time looking up possible solutions, but none of them work at all. I've done everything Apple suggests in troubleshooting and such, but nothing works. I was hoping someone else might be able to give me a solution. One that hopefully does not involve uninstalling and reinstalling Apples programs, which I have done several times.
    I have tried all accessable USB ports on my computer, and I have switched between the four different USB cords that we have, so this isn't the issue. My PS Vita will connect to the computer with no issue at all, so it isn't the USB ports either. I can plug my iPod Touch into my PS3 and it will charge the instant I plug either end of the cable in, the same for my sister's. I can plug it into the dock on my mother's alarm clock and it will charge just fine. I'm open to any suggestion, so please help me out here.

    So you tried everything here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    Try connecting to another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

  • Ipod Touch 4th Gen won't connect to my wifi

    I just got home from work and tried to go on my Ipod touch 4th gen to see if I got any new emails and to facetime my fiance. I check my ipod to reconnect to my wifi router and it hasn't connected(bare in mind it was connecting to my wifi fine before i left the house this morning). I went to my settings on my ipod and then to my wifi to seeif it would connect like it used to. nothing happened. I looked up all of the info i could hard reseting my ipod, resetting my network settings, turning on and off the wifi, forgetting the network and re-entering it and it still has that circle infinitely spinning around next to the name of my home wifi. My wifi works on my laptop my ipod is just refusing to reconnect with my wifi. THis is upsetting and fristrating... Does anyone have any idea for how I can solve my problem?

  • Brand new ipod/itouch 4th generation won't connect to available hm wireless

    I have a new 4th generation ipod touch. I also have a new computer using windows 7. I have set up the computer and wireless is working great. I have set up and synched the ipod to itunes without problems however, I cannot connect to my home wireless network. I have done the network reset. There is no option to "forget this network" that comes up when I click the arrow. I cannot access the support document that you provide in other links because it says it is "damaged". I have my wireless network password protected but my itouch will not accept the password. I know the password I am entering is correct because I used it to join my new computer to wireless and that worked fine. I have tried about 20 times to enter the password so I know that it is correct and it will not join. Please help.

    I haven't gone running around town with my ipod trying to find out if it will connect to other wifi.
    I've looked at those documents...that's how I knew to try all of those other fixes.
    It is a linksys. That should not be an issue...as I said, it works fine with my brand new Asus Windows 7 computer.
    A few things:
    If you have read the Apple documents why did you say, "I cannot access the support document that you provide in other links because it says it is 'damaged'."? Also, who is you ?
    Testing the iPod Touch WiFi on another network will give you a baseline as to whether the WiFi in your iPod Touch is working at all. If it doesn't work on other networks then it may need service/replacement.
    What model Linksys router do you have? What kind of security are you using WEP, WPA, WPA2? How is it configured? (see my previous post for what's relevant). Is it 802.11g?, 802.11n? Do you have the latest router firmware?
    Note also that just because one device seems to work OK on a WiFi network doesn't prove that the network is golden. Not all devices use the same features of the Wireless 802.11g/n protocols. Low-power devices are different than desktop computers.
    Have you tried testing with security turned off? (This check is suggested in the Apple documents).

  • Ipod Touch 4th gen won't connect to wifi

    Hi there,
    my ipod touch finds my wifi connection alright, but won't it connect to it. It keeps loading on and on but in the end it never does. I can't reset or access the router because I live in a student accomodation flat. I've tried switching it off and back on again and the same happens every time. Strange thing is that my flatmates iphone connects just fine and so does my pc. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

  • IPod Touch 4th gen won't connect to wi-fi

    So I was in my university, when I noticed the iPod suddenly disconected from Wi-Fi.  When I got home, it didn't connect to the home network either, and asked for the network password.  I entered it, and said it was wrong.  I entered it from my iMac, and the password was correct.  What's going on?  It's a 4th gen 64 gb ipod running on iOS 6.  The wireless router is an Airport Extreme Base station.

    Yup.  I made it forget the network, tried again.  ZIp, nada.  Tried changing the base station's password, and entered the new one, didn't connect either.  My dad's iPhone 4 connects without any problems, as do the family iMac and MacBook Pro.

  • IPod touch 4th gen won't connect to iTunes?

    I need help. I have a windows 8 computer and a 4th gen itouch black. Whenever i used to connect my ipod to my computer, itunes would open, but a windows 8 little notfication used to come up and say "click here to choose what to do with this device" or something like that. I forget if something else came up that i clicked or if it happened immediately, but now all that happens is when i connect my ipod to my laptop, the windows explorer thing shows up under the "my computer" section and it says apple ipod and i can take pictures out and whatever but its not showing that im connected to itunes. i have the newest updates of both itunes and windows 8. can i get some help please?

    Try
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    New cable and different USB port?
    Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • My iPod Touch 4th Gen won't connect to the internet!

    Recently whenever I try to connect to our home wifi it hasn't been connecting, all that comes up is that loading spinning circle thing that means it's trying to connect. No matter how long I leave it, it doesn't connect. I don't think it is the router or network connection as my brothers iPod connects and works fine as usual, and I don't think it is a hardware issue relating to wifi connection because I can connect to my friends network just fine. So has anyone had a similar problem? or know how to solve it?

  • My ipod touch (4th gen) won't sync with itunes, OSX

    My 8gb ipod touch (4th gen) won't sync with itunes. Running itunes 11.4 on OSX 10.6.8
    My touch was running fine until one day I found about 3gb occupied by 'other' space. I ended up restoring my ipod which took care of the problem, but created a new one in that the ipod will no longer sync anything from my itunes library. I have music set up to sync selected artists, and when I click the checkboxes to select my albums and artists to sync, the 'audio' bar fills up.
    When I click 'apply', the 'starting sync' and progress bar pop up for like half a second then disappear. Same goes with photos, apps, podcasts, etc.

    Verify that you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • Ipod touch 4th gen won't sync or download podcasts

    Hi, all! I get that the ipod touch 4th gen won't update to ios7, but this has made podcasts unusable I'm unable to download new podcasts or sync them to my computer because I'm told the podcast app isn't updated. Is there anything I can do or do I basically have an unusable ipod where podcasts are concerned?

    Why happens when you install the last compatible version of the podcast app and sync?
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • My brand new ipod touch 4th gen wont let me sync new songs to it

    I just got my new ipod touch 4th gen 2 days ago and it wont let me sync any new songs to it and it wont let me take any songs off it either. Ive tried rebooting it and restoring it serveral times and nothing seems to work. Also I updates my itunes and still nothing. HELP

  • New iPod Touch 4th gen. cannot connect to home wi-fi network

    When I launch wi-fi on my new iPod Touch 4th gen. my home network's name is displayed, but after entering my password the iPod is unable to connect - the wheel to the left of the network name just keeps spinning.   The network still functions properly for all my other devices (MacBook, 2nd gen. iPod Touch, wireless printer and my wife's PC) and the new iPod Touch did connect to the network in the Apple Store when I visited yesterday.   I know the password I enetered for my home network is correct because I've checked it in my keychain, and also the iPod did not inform me that it was the wrong password for that network - as it does if I enter another password.
    I have followed the advice given to others - unplugging the Time Capsule and leaving it for 5 minutes, checking that all my software and firmware is up to date, 'forgetting' the network on my new iPod then searching for it again, and have completely restored the iPod - but it still cannot connect to my network.   If my network is functioning properly, and my new iPod was capable of joining the Apple Store's network yesterday, and I am sure that I am entering the correct password, it seems to me that my problem must be due to some network setting that is refusing to allow a new device to connect.   I can't find where that setting might be - can anyone advise?

    depending on what router but hopefully all routers came to this default address....
    192.168.1.1/Wireless_MAC.asp
    from
    >Setup of the Basic Setup you goto
    >Wireless
    >WirelessMacFilter
    also had an idea when i wanna make sure im typing the right one, i would do is tap each letter/# by 1, as in,
    (e.q.)
    here's my ipod 4 and my ipod 2, the pswd is 123456
    ipod 4, i press 1
    ipod 2, i press 1
    ipod 4, i press 2
    ipod 2, i press 2
    and so on till i reach both of them to 6 (1by1) to make sure i get it in there right. saw this on another wall it might depends on what channel your using, but i dont rly think that matters bc i have mine on auto and nvr had a problem.
    i would do this even thou it may sound crazy to others....if i were you this is what i would do
    on your ipod 2Gen
    >Safari
    >address to 192.168.1.1/WL_WPATable.asp
    -(wireless security settings for passcode)
    >tap the box for the password, whatever ur security is i would copy
    -IF WEP
    -copy phrase key and Key 1
    -IF WPA
    -copy phrase key
    >open Notepad
    >under iCloud account Notepad
    >Paste the Key
    >either on your pc/mac or your 2nd Gen, go back to

    >change your Security Mode to Disable
    >goto your 4 Gen iPod Touch
    >goto settings and connect to it, if pswd is still in it then tap forget this network and reconnect to it
    -once connected and got IP adresses
    >goto Notpad under iCloud
    -you should have obtained your recent icloud msgs included the key you pasted
    -once obtained
    >gobk to pc/mac or ipod 2nd gen and re enabled the security and re-paste the key in
    -once router adjusted try to connect to it
    >1st do your 2nd gen and forget this network reconnect to it and repaste the key
    >2nd goto ur 4rth gen from your notes, highlight the key in ur notpad and tap copy and forget this network reconnect to it and paste the key.
    this should work bc i did it myself when i couldnt get connected bc thats almost the same steps i did.
    somtimes i put my name up on here. remeber these names we put as our nickname doesnt mean its our real name or anything like that,
