New iPod Touch: restore WIFI settings

I got a second iTouch and have successfully restored it from a backup of the previous one, but that didn't restore any WIFI configurations. Is that expected?
Is there any way I can either get those configurations copied over or at least see the previous passwords so I can re-key them? I'd much prefer to copy the configurations over since some of the passwords are a major pain to key, but I'd settle for anything at this point.

Restore one iDevice from the backup of another iDevice copies everything to the target device (if they are the same type of device) except keychain items like passwords. Thus, you will have to reenter the keychain item on the target iPod. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
"Keychain (this includes email account passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and passwords you enter into websites and some other applications. If you encrypt the backup with iOS 4 and later, the keychain information is transferred to the new device. With an unencrypted backup, the keychain can only be restored to the same iPhone or iPod touch. If you are restoring to a new device with an unencrypted backup, you will need to enter these passwords again.)"

    No. Siri requires an internet connection. It is done in the Cloud, not on the iPod.

  • 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....

  • Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect.  Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.

    Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect.  Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.  Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices.  After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected.  Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP.  Any solutions other than turning it on and off again?  Not a Merry Christmas morning.

    Ok, so, a couple of things:  Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod.  Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
    Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel.  Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem.  Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet.  Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod. 
    Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,

  • 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.

  • New Ipod Touch 5g can't access Internet in home network (using Linksys E4200 router). But, OK with other Wifi.

    Just bought new Ipod Touch 5g. I found out it can't access Internet in home network. not really cannot access, but very slow to open any web page, App Store failed to access, etc. But, OK with other Wifi (office & starbucks). Others existing iOS devices (Iphone4 & Ipad2) have no problem like this. I'm using Linksys E4200 router at home. anyone has any idea why?

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be 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

  • Auto-login issues since Restoring to new iPod Touch

    I recently purchased the new iPod Touch 32GB and restored all of my settings from my previous iPod onto this one. My previous Touch was also on 3.0.
    Since the upgrade I have had constant issues with the auto-login web feature at my local Starbucks. It sits on the "Connecting" screen and then eventually fails. Then I have to choose to connect to the network (because it automatically disconnects wifi when the login fails). Then when I connect a second time it brings me directly to the login screen where I can enter my account info and choose to save it to auto-login in the future. The problem is that it never seems to work the next day when I try to connect again.
    My previous iPod Touch never had issues with the auto-login feature. And let me tell you that it is frustrating that there is no cancel from the dimmed "connecting" screen. I have to wait 4-5 minutes for it to realize it's not working.
    I have already tried:
    -Clearing Cache
    -Clearing Cookies
    -Clearing Autofill Names and Passwords
    Any help would be awesome!

  • New ipod touch 4th gen wont connect to home wifi livebox?

    Hi I bought a new ipod touch yesterday 4th generation iOS5, I haven't been able to connect it to my home wifi at all.

Any help would be much appreciated. I've tried resetting network settings/restarting it/restoring it etc etc but nothing works.

  • I bourght a new ipod touch for my wife, i put my apple id in for her b/c we were not home, how can I clear my

    I bought a new ipod touch for my wife, I put my Apple Id in to activate it, b/c we were not home, now that we are home I would like to set up a account (apple) of her own, so that it won't be interfering with my account. thanks for your help.

    Why not just erase the iPod and start over, using her Apple ID. Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings, then you can start over with the initial setup of the device.
    Alternatively, your Apple ID may have been entered in:
    Settings > iCloud
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive
    Settings > FaceTime
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores
    Sign out of your ID in these menus and sign in with your wife's Apple ID.

    Try a restore to factory settings/new iPod if yuhave not doe so so far.
    Are you  using the headphones that came with the iPod? Are you inserting the plug fully
    Have you tried another set of headphones in the iPod?
    The speaker is not that loud.
