Previous iPod Touch worked fine, new iPod Touch can't get an IP Address

I had a version 1.1.4 iPod Touch for several days and it worked quite well. I was able to automatically connect to wireless connections at work, at home and at my parents house without meddling with any wireless settings and by just using DHCP.
The other day I exchanged the iPod Touch for a different one, due to a defect in the case manufacturing, and with this iPod Touch, I haven't been able to connect to any of the previously mentioned wireless networks. I noticed that I wasn't able to get an IP address at all at my parents house, but I figured it was because I hadn't upgraded to 1.1.4, and was still at 1.1.3. I upgraded to 1.1.4 though this morning and at the work network, I'm having the same issue. I can easily connect to the wifi networks, but if I look at the DHCP settings, it's all blank. I can't get an IP address.
I looked around the forum here and found a great deal of people who for some reason couldn't connect to their particular wireless setup. This problem however is different in that I could easily connect to many wireless setups, but now that I've seemingly just switched to a different iPod Touch, I can't connect to the same ones at all.
It seems weird to me that the issue could just be that I got a different iPod, and I really think there must be some other reason, but I can't think of one. From all outward appearances they're the exact same. Same networks, same version.
What else could be the issue?

If your new Touch can't get on any network, then does it have a MAC address assigned to it? Go to Settings/General/About and scroll to the bottom to see if you have a "Wi-Fi Address", which is the MAC address assigned to your particular unit.
See this article for reference:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306067
If you're able to get on some networks but not others (where you had no problem before) then perhaps there is a subtle difference in the new unit's performance. You can try restoring it to see if that helps, but that means erasing everything and starting over.

  • HT1351 Have downloaded one playlist in my ipod classic,works fine, now downloaded another, can't figure out how to access it??into playlist from there goes to On-the-Go. How do I access Playlist 2????

    Just got this Ipod classic,  little greek to me,      Have downloaded one playlist,   works fine,   now  tried to download a second , which  I believe it did, out of my Itunes library,  but how is it listed in my Ipod    , scoll down to playlist, then what?    seems to always go to On-the-Go then what ???    Thanks   Dan

    When you go into the Playlists menu of your iPod Classic, you should see a list of the Playlists you have downloaded from your iTunes Library - and the On-The-Go Playlist. If you can only see the On-The-Go Playlist, that suggests that you have not successfully downloaded any Playlists.
    Playlists are separate from the songs. The songs, albums etc. etc. will be listed under those menu headings on the Main Menu.
    The On-The-Go Playlist is a feature that allows you to create Playlists on the iPod. Initially, and after each Sync with iTunes, the On-The-Go should be empty. If you create one, you can save it on the iPod and it will be transferred back to the iPod at Sync time and renamed as On-The-Go X (X is the next available number). If you create and save one on your iPod, it will be named on the iPod as New Playlist X, but renamed as On-The-Go X when Synced with iTunes.

  • Problems with music tracks on Video Ipod that worked fine on ipod mini

    Just got a video ipod on Christmas. Have owned an ipod mini for two years.
    Transferred music and playlists from Itunes Library into the new video ipod.
    I'm finding that some of the audio tracks that played fine on the ipod mini are
    experiencing problems on the Video ipod. The commonality among the problem tracks are that they were custom tracks I made through Final Cut Pro and exported out as AIFF's. I then used the "Convert to AAC" function in ITunes to change them to AAC before putting them on the ipod mini. Again, these all played fine on the ipod mini. These problem tracks also tend to be long....50 minutes or more...they're comedy albums transferred into Final Cut Pro from off-air VCR/DVR tapings and are one long track.
    These same files, while AAC, have problems starting up on the video ipod,
    freeze the display and menu controls for a few seconds, or won't play at all. Other normal tracks from CD's or the Itunes store are fine.
    Any correction ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • TS1363 my ipod classic is visible in windows but not in itunes, this happens on 2 different computers where my iphone and ipod touch work fine which leads me to think something is up with the ipod itself and i cant find any threads to help

    my ipod classic is visible in windows but not in itunes, this happens on 2 different computers where my iphone and ipod touch work fine which leads me to think something is up with the ipod itself and i cant find any threads to help.
    any thoughts anyone??

    Perhaps the reason you haven't had any replies is because there is no such thing as an 8GB iPod Classic.
    I suggest that you begin by correctly identifying which iPod you have.

  • We have itunes music on a computer, an ipod nano, and a new ipod touch under two different accounts. How can we combine the music from both accounts to one device?

    We have itunes music on a computer, an ipod nano, and a new ipod touch under two different accounts. How can we combine the music from both accounts to one device?

    There is no "adding" a device.  Simply plug the iDevice into the computer.  iTunes should automatically detect the device when it is connected.
    iTunes can sync/manage as many iDevices as you want... there is no 1 device limit.

  • How do I transfer songs from my old ipod touch to the new ipod nano?

    I just got the new Ipod nano and I want to get the music i already have to transfer from my old ipod touch to the new nano, how can I do this?

    If your iPod touch music is in your iTunes library, you just need to sync the new iPod nano with iTunes, the songs will be transfer to your new iPod. If not, you can follow this guide to transfer the songs from iPod touch to iTunes first, and then re-sync them to your new iPod. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.
