My ipod 4G won't connect to my wifi at home with new router. Says "unable to connect" and won't give me any other options. Have tried resetting network connections. Help.

My ipod 4G won't connect to my wifi at home with new router. Says "unable to connect" and won't give me any other options. Have tried resetting network connections. I don't want to lose anything. I have tried turning everything off and back on again. Desktop and laptop are working fine. Sometimes it turns on suddenly and I can use it for like 20 mins but then shuts off again. Same thing is happening with my dad's iphone, Help.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
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
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- 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.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

New Apple TV is unable to connect to Wifi hub (other apple products connect just fine)

My parents new Apple TV is unable to connect to their wifi. It finds it fine and when we put in the password it states it is unable to connect. All their other apple products connect just fine as does their PS3. I have tried unplugging/ plugging back in everything, no luck...

Hi
Make sure your ATV has the same network name as your other components. If your ATV is new, you can call Apple for free support. They are great.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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

How do I manually move a playlist from new iTunes to ipod classic?

My iTunes just updated itself. Now the screen looks totally different. I want to manually move a playlist from the new iTunes to my iPod classic. It worked perfectly yesterday, but now that that the iTunes updated, the page doesn't show my iPod so I can't manually move the playlist to the iPod.

Hi Carol,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're running into an issue syncing music to your iPod classic since updating iTunes because of the way it looks now. You can make iTunes look more like the previous version by showing the Sidebar, as described in the article below.
iTunes 11 for Windows: Customize the iTunes window
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12364
Choose View > Show Sidebar.
The Sidebar replaces the Library menu, the Devices button, and the iTunes Store button. To return to the default view, choose View > Hide Sidebar.
And, this article provides a detailed walkthrough for syncing content to your iPod.

I hope this helps.

Newpc, new itunes, old ipod, new troubles

Got a new pc, and installed new itunes, and now itunes does display my ipod, but not my playlists. New playlists and new music do not download to ipod. Have tried reset, redownload, reviewed cables, etc. Do not wish to try restore ipod, but will if needed. Any suggestions gratefully accepted. Thanks, M

Try checking all of your settings in iTunes.
Go to Edit - Preferences. Make sure you have your iPod plugged in. Then click the iPod tab, and make sure "Automaticaly Update All Songs on iPod is checked.
The problem sounds like it does NOT lie in the iPod, so restoring it probably won't help. Mess around with the settings in iTunes. Try other settings, not just one the one i told you. Maybe something just got selected or deselected by accident.

New Computer, new itunes, old iPod

My computer recently breathed its last and my hard drive was destroyed, so having purchased a new one and installed itunes I plugged my iPod in only to find there is no obvious way of transfering songs from the iPod to iTunes. I've authorised my account with the same apple id as before, yet it still won't let me transfer music. Is the only way to go through each of my CDs indivdually? Again?!

Copy from iPod to PC
It is important not to allow your iPod to sync with an empty library. If it is set to synchronise automatically you will get a message saying your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to sync – it is important to press cancel as syncing with an empty library erases all music from your iPod.
You can also prevent auto sync by holding down shift & ctrl as you plug in your iPod and keeping the keys held down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
Once you are connected, you need to set your iPod to manage music manually.

If you have an iPod with iTunes Store purchases on it, you can use it to copy your purchases to other authorized computers.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.3/en/2586win.html
However this is not allowed for other music.
This MacMuse tip tells you how to copy music from your iPod using Windows Explorer, but it is a bit fiddly:
http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=797432
Otherwise you can use third party software to manage the transfer, there are a variety of programs out there, some free and some that will copy ratings and counts as well as the music files. Here is a selection, check them out and see what suits you.

Changing iPod settings on iTunes when iPod is not connected

I got an iPod nano 2GB and would like to change the settings on iTunes without connecting my iPod to it. I don't want iTunes to open when I connect the iPod and want to be able to use it as a disc. When the iPod is not connected there is no option showing on the iTunes screen to make the changes. Can anyone help please?

You have to connect the iPod to change it's settings. If your iPod is set to update automatically you can use a keyboard command to prevent it syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows

New 4th gen ipod won't connect to internet

My sister just bought a new 4th gen ipod touch today. Everything works fine with it except for the internet. Now I own a 2nd gen ipod touch and my internet connection works just fine. Why doesn't hers work? I've tried turning the wifi on and off, and turning the airplane mode on and off as well. Our wifi only works through our computer modem. Is the ipod just not picking up the modem's signal or is something wrong with her ipod?

- Does the SSID of your router show up in the list of networks available on the 4G iPod?
- Have you tried resetting th 4G iPod:
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
- If SSID still does not show up on the 4G but does show on and the 2G iPod then I would first restore the iPod from backup. If still problems then restore the iPd to factory defaults.new iPOd
- If still not SSID then you likely have a defective iPOd and should make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store or you could call AppleCare.

Why is the new iTunes make it so hard for me to manage my own music

As a standard everyday user and rather big music fan with a libary filled with 100's of gb's of music this new itunes is a downgrade for someone like myself who rather manage and organise my music. I don't care about bold album images and the terrible viewing options. i care about simple, easy and useful ways of listening and managing my own music.
The fact that as soon as the update was completed, the status and side bars where hidden makes it look to me like apple are trying to turn itunes into an app instead of creating a strong program that alows management and customisation.
The best feature for anyone that itunes HAD was display duplicates and they took that away for what?
Is there anyway to downgrade to itunes 10???

If you want to get most of the old look/feel of iTunes back, then choose "View" from the menu, and select "Show sidebar".

New itunes wiped ipod of all music

Okay, so... I got a new computer, which has the new iTunes. So I just wanted to add some music to my ipod, EXCEPT when I plugged it in, ALL SEEMED fine with it, I had my music on there (I even made sure my preferences said, Prevent iPods and other devices from automatically syncing.) So, I add some new music onto my ipod and ALL OF A SUDDEN, after I disconnect and unplug it from my computer, my iPod MAGICALLY has NOTHING ON IT. Everything is gone. What the F***? Anyone else have this problem?

See the first section of Corrupt iPod classic. If the media files aren't visible in the hidden folders then it may still be possible to use an unerase/undelete or other file recovery tool.

ITunes - always says unable to connect

Every time I go to iTunes, I can browse, but it will not allow me to purchase. I always get the message " unable to connect". I log on to it......how can I fix this??

i am having the same problem with my ipad. i just got the ipad last night and itunes will let me search but when i try to hear a sample it says, "cannot connect to internet" even though the wifi is working. anybody heard anything?

Ipod "unable to connect to network"

i have an ipod4, and i'm only unable to connect to my home router, my friend's ipod connects to it fine, but mine is having problems, i have reset network settings, turned off sercuity on router and was still unable to connect, i have gone into router and opened mac address too but still wont let me connect, any suggestions

I tried powering down the router. When it's off the iTouch does not recognize the network and then when it's powered on again, the iTouch recognizes the network. Unlike the public wi-fi spots that my iTouch responds to, where all the info like IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS etc are populated in the settings...my iTouch does not populate these fields at home even though it recognizes the network. I still get the unable to connect to network error. Could it be that my router is antiquated and can not support the iTouch? Like I said earlier, my Router does not recognize the iTouch as being attached to it.

IPod unable to connect or charge

Hello, my friends iPod Nano was connected to her charger and it blew a fuse. After this she has got no power to her iPod and it is not detected once I connect it to iTunes so I can restore it for her. When the fuse was blown the iPod had no power so I cant boot it up. I am currently trying to charge it but with no luck. Any ideas on how to fix this will be great.

I am currently trying to charge it
How? For how long?
If the iPod Nano was completely drained, may take awhile before it is fully charged.
