New iPod Touch arrived from Apple today - Wifi inoperable

Brand New iPod Touch 32G just showed up from Apple via Fed-Ex today. First thing I tried was to join my Home Wifi. Same result as everyone else. DHCP is failing and the device gets a self-assigned IP address 169.254.X.X.
Before you start asking me about my router et. al., know that I have been working on this issue for 5 hours now. Had Apple on the phone for over an hour. They had me completely strip out iTunes on my Mac, and re-download and install it. I've upgraded to iOS 4.3.3, did a complete Restore of my BRAND NEW iPod, Reset Network Settings, h*ll I reset the entire device even after a FULL RESTORE. Tried Airplane mode On/Off. WiFi On/Off. Etc.
The clincher was taking this FULLY RESTORED iPod Touch to the Starbuck's across the street, next to a Verizon store. This device cannot even get on Starbuck's WiFi nor Verizon's WiFi - BOTH Public and Open.
I have a Verizon MiFi Mobile Hotspot as well - Same symptoms - No assigned IP.
I was able to get networking to my home Wifi to work, BUT ONLY IF I SET A STATIC IP PARAMETRICS. This is a solution to my Home Network, but not for ALL the OTHER Public WiFi networks out there.
Multiple Networks - Apple has a REAL problem here!!!
Please! Suggestions are welcome, but please don't ask me to repeat all the diagnostics I've already done.
(I wish these things were as easy to diagnose as my Android devices! At least I can shell in and see what's going on in those!)

4.3.3 does this on one of my four devices...with just one source.
Work with static router I.P. as best you can and wait for an iOS update.

I have a new iPod Touch and one apple ID. I want to use My laptop aswell as my desktop computer for the one ipod, using the same apple ID. I have music on both computers and want to merge the two without losing any music or apps. How do I do this?

My iPod has music and apps from my apple ID that I downloaded to my iPod via iCloud and some apps that I got free from the store, straight onto my iPod, but my laptop has some music on it aswell, separate from my other library. I want to put the music from my laptop into my iTunes library which I want to use on both computers. Is it possible to do this?
Thanks.

- You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
- If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

Bought my ipod touch 4g from apple's official reseller on 21st November 2012. Purchase slip says warranty ends on 20th November 2013. But apple website says its 19th November 2013. Why? I went out of the store once while buying, was the ipod exchanged?

Bought my ipod touch 4g from apple's official reseller on 21st November 2012. Purchase slip says warranty ends on 20th November 2013. But apple website says its 19th November 2013 when I put in my ipod's serial number. Why is that? When I bought the ipod, the salesman told me that the latest ios is not installed, so I typed in my apple id and passowrd and opened the ipod, then they started donwloading the latest ios. During the download, I went out of the store for sometime, then i got back after 10 minutes and had to put my id/password again to begin with the new ios. Was my ipod exchange within this time? Why in a computerized system, If I have bought an ipod on 21st November 2012, it says the warranty expires on 19th Novembner 2013? Pleasse help, my ipoid even had some scratch on the backside when I first checked the back side after bringing it home from the store.

Was my ipod exchange within this time?
Not unless it was found to be defective, and that would not reset the warranty on the original serial number.

Sometimes it's just wrong. Perhaps the reseller entered in the sales date incorrectly. Call Apple support and discuss the problem with them. They may ask you to fax them a copy of your receipt.

You'll probably have difficulty convincing them that the scratch wasn't there when you brought it in, but you can go back to the store and talk to them about it.

Malfunctioning replacement iPod Touch 5 from Apple.

I'm hoping I can get some advice. My 32 GB iPod Touch 5 that I had was having problems running apps (more than normal), so I went to The Apple Store at a mall. The person at the Genius Bar was able to replace it, and assured me it was a new, working device. So I had that set up, received my replacement iPod Touch 5, and was on my way home. I bought a screen protector, had it applied, and tried setting up my "new" iPod Touch 5. I went to the search tab in the App Store, and wasn't able to view all the apps that I searched for, due to the reason that for some odd reason, according to Apple, my device was malfunctioning. I did the reset, restore, etc. and nothing fixed it. I've had this replacement for 2 days now, and I'm in warranty. But that doesn't change the fact that now I would have to wait 1 week or so, to have a working device. My problem:
1. The Apple Store in the mall is an hour away, and I don't drive. Nor can I get a ride from a friend/family member.
2. If I sent it in, I don't believe they would replace my screen protector I JUST had applied yesterday. (I didn't test out the device, because I was under the impression from the Apple "Genius" that it worked perfectly.)
Either way, either of these options will cost more than I should have to pay, (Gas=$$$ and sending in=-$20.)
I don't think it would be too much to ask for some kind of compensation out of this deal, when I got back a product faulty from the beginning, but I'm not sure. What should I do?

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Be nice but firm. Ask for some compensation but do not go overboard.

New iPod Touch - restore from backup of (2nd gen?) iPod touch

Am buying the new iPod Touch w/additional features - camera, hi-res, quicker processor, etc. - than the (2nd) Gen Touch which I bot June 2009. Run on iMac, all software currently "up-to-date" - want to just transfer over all of my apps, music, data (within iPod apps), MobileMe links, Mail links, etc - from old device to new device. I'd also like to "wipe" the old device in order to give it to someone else without giving them access to my information. Anyone out there give me a "link" to get instructions on this? When I do my own searches in "support manuals" - I get a ton of non-applicable links....

Just get my new iPod touch 5 from my local's apple store

Pre-orders are shipped today and arrive tomorrow (one-day shipping)..
Next time I will not pre-order..just go to apple store and buy it.. just a waste of time..

If you purchased the iPod from an Apple Store within the last 14 calendar days, you can return it for a full refund presuming that it's undamaged. Otherwise, Apple does not take trade-ins on iPods. All they'll give you is a recycling credit of 10% off the price of a new iPod, and obviously you could sell your iPod yourself for a lot more than that.
Regards.

If you restart your ipod touch as a new ipod touch will that delete your wifi information completley from the ipod touch?

please commint back.

If you mean if you restore your iPod via iTunes on your computer to factory defaults/new iPod the answer is yes.

New iPod Touch won't connect to wifi

I recently purchased three 32GB iPod Touch's for my children for Christmas. I'm trying to set them up ready to go, but one of them just won't connect to my wifi. The other two have no trouble, connected immediately. Can anyone shed some light on this or do I need to make an appointment at the apple store? I have tried to reset the network settings, it has made no difference unfortunately.

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
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.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- 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.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

How do I set up my child's new ipod touch with separate apple id, so we don't share apps and music? says she is too young for her own account.

Bought my 9 year old an ipod touch last night. Tried to set it up with her own account and her own Apple Id, so we do not share apps and music. It tells me she does not meet age requirement to have her own id. Tried to set it up on computer, and my music transferred to her new ipod. Help.

You will have to set up the account in your name and supervise its use. The birthday you specify has to result in an age of at 13 years.

New buyer question: can I sync my new iPod Touch in the Apple Store?

I'm heading to Florida in 5 days (I live in the UK), where I'll be buying my iPod Touch (well, I'll hang off as long as possible to try and catch a price-drop or upgrade after 11 July).
However, it's looking unlikely that I'll have my laptop with me, so I won't be able to sync up to my iTunes library until I get back home to the UK.
Do you think the staff in the Apple Store would sync and register it for me, so that I can at least use the wi-fi etc. until I get home? I don't want any music or videos on it until I get home, so I don't need anything like that.

You could ask.
They may let you plug it to register it so you can use it.
I doubt they would let you sync it since that would put the music from the computer you are connecting it to.

You cna also go to an Apple Store and they should be able to replace, and most likely for free.

HT1665 I have a 2007 Griffin Amplifi dock that does not accomodate my brand new iPod Touch. Does Apple make an adaptor that I could use to play my new ipod on the old Griffin dock?

Does Apple make an adaptor that would enable me to play my 5th generation iPod touch on my 2007 griffin Amplifi dock
