Problems retrieving email on iPod Touch

My Problem: my iPod Touch (5.0.1) is no longer accessing the internet via my wifi router (at home) even though it is showing a connection to the internet.
The History: My iPod Touch began having difficulties connecting to the network where I work a few weeks ago. It would take about 15 minutes for the iPod to recognize the network so that I could bring up the password prompt (via the Safari browser).
I started experiencing a similar problem on my home network this evening (6 December 2011). It began when I tried to access an e-mail. The iPod stopped accessing the network even though it was showing that it was still connected to my wifi router.
My Attempts:
(1) I turned the iPod off and then on again. This seemed to fix the problem, but once I went to access my e-mail the problem returned.
(2) I turned the iPod off and then on again. Again, the problem was fixed but only for a few minutes (or until I tried to access e-mail).
(3) I checked that there is information in the DNS of my network information. It is my understanding that this rules out router issue. Of course, my laptop computer is accessing the internet just fine, so I knew it wasn't a router issue.
(4) I performed a system restore on the iPod Touch. Everythere was backed up and restored, and the iPod worked ... until I tried to access e-mail.
(5) I sent a tester e-mail to all three of my e-mail accounts. None of them went through this last time that I tried the on-off routine.
My Question: What can I do to restore functionality of my iPod with regard to my internet connect and e-mail?

deleting the account on the iPod touch and recreating it there solved the problem and allowed me to set the address to [email protected] as it should be. These accounts don't seem to sync with the mac, though.
As for changing the server port, I need to stick with 25 because of my work environment, but that did not seem to matter here.

I verified my email but ipod touch says not verified, I go to redo and its says already verified but Itunes still shows it needs to be verified. I was in the process of creating a new Apple ID for my touch.

Please go to Settings>Itunes and App Store and log out of your Apple id and right back in again. See if this doesn't resolve this issue.

Hello, I have a problem 4th with my iPod touch

Hello,
I have a problem 4th with my iPod touch
I just wanted to edit a picture, and then he is always crashed.
Hope someone can tell me what to do.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

I have a problem updating the new ipod touch 5th generation

I have a problem updating the new ipod touch 5th generation and I need help:
With each attempt I receive the message:
iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
The iPod only displays a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an iTunes logo.
I receive a "Are you sure..." message with the 2 options, one to Restore and Update and the other to Cancel.
Each time I have selected the Restore and Update button and then moved through the acceptance screens. Then iTunes begins to download the iOS 6.0.1 Software Update, which usually takes about 50 minutes. During the download I will receive messages that an iPod has been found in restore mode.
After the download is complete no update occurs to the iPod and iTunes displays the Device Summary screen showing derive Name as iPod and all other items as n/a.
The iPod was working great without any known issues prior to attempting to update the OS.

Maybe:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Is there a chance to retrieve a snatched iPod Touch?

Hi! Is there a chance to retrieve a snatched iPod Touch? Or disable the thief from formatting or using it? Mine has password lock and a Find my Itouch but I can't seem to use the app to locate my Ipod touch.

Make sure to file a police report, also check your home or renter's insurance to see if it might be covered. Unfortunately, while Apple can provide you with the stolen device's serial number, that's all Apple can really do.
Refer to Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2526.
The article states "Apple does not have a process to track or flag lost or stolen product."

Hello jose mariofromsan luis potosi,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are saying that your iOS devices are not showing up in iTunes on your Windows computer, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
On the other hand, if you are saying that your devices are only showing a Connect To iTunes icon screen, then this article may be more useful:

Multiple problems with itunes and ipod touch

I don't even know where to begin explaining all the problems I've had with itunes and my ipod touch, along with the troubleshooting that I've done to no avail. Now, I'm totally frustrated. So, here I am hoping that I can get some help from someone. I spent almost $400 for my ipod touch and don't want to have to give up on it.
First, in case you need to know, I have the latest version of iTunes (10.2.2.14), an iPod Touch. My Windows edition is Windows Vista with Service Pack 2. My system has the following:
     Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard Company
     Model: m9150f
     Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU   Q6600 @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz
     Memory (RAM): 3.00 GB
     System type: 32-bit Operating System
Next, in order to simplify what I have to say, I'll just briefly tell you what problems I've encountered, what I've done, and the results:
     1.     iPod not displayed in Computer when plugged into USB port
     2.     no device displayed in iTunes
     3.     unable to sync music and photos from my computer to iPod
     4.     have gone through and completed all troubleshooting two times to no avail
     5.     lost all settings and apps on my iPod and can't restore and/or retrieve them (my fault for erasing the info)
     6.     can't get iTunes to recognize(?) my iPod, after plugging it into the the USB port, in order to possibly restore it to working order
If I haven't provided enough info, please let me know.
I'll appreciate any help that you can give in order to resolve these issues.
Thank you.
Chris

Trouble sending email from iPod Touch

I have My own Local ISP, I'm not having a problem from their end. I am having trouble sending my email from the outgoing mail server from my iPod Touch, I have it set up correctly.
What I wanted and tried to do is sync my composed and sent emails from my iPod Touch to my computer email Program (Apple). What I did was I plugged in my iPod Touch to my computer, clicked on "Devices" in iTunes, clicked on the Info. Tab and scrolled down to "Mail Accounts" and chose the "Sync Selected mail accounts": check box, Then I chose my ISP Pop account email check box, then chose the "Advance" section and checked all the check boxes: Contacts, Calendars, mail accounts, and Bookmarks, then I clicked on the Sync Button at the bottom. After I did this I tried sending an email from my iPod Touch, the email went to the out box and not to the sent section of my iPod Touch, my iPod suddenly stopped sending email and had little trouble getting email from my computer while my iPod Touch was "checking" its "email" with its little blue wheel spinning at the bottom of the mail iPod Touch screen, My computer email program (apple) would get the little Triangle next to the inbox. I had went Back to my iTunes, iPod Touch "Devices", Info Tab, and undid what I did and re hit the Sync Button again, I then had noticed that in the "Advance section" the "Mail Accounts" check box was un high lighted, I am not able to check it if I wanted to. Now sometimes I am able to get my email from my computer, I am able to send email from my computer email program (Apple).
Does any one have a solution and that can help solve this sticky problem? and help me refix this?
Thanks,
Trisha Foster.

Without having the stuff to hand - this is what I did. You need to make sure that your password and username are left blank in the settings for out going mail on your touch. this will be changed back if you let itunes sync email addresses on your computer. I had the same problem until I read somewhere that you needed these setting left blank.

Sending emails from ipod touch

I've never been able to send emails from the touch using the normal smtp server. Quick rundown. I have Time Warner. I use smtp-server.twcny.rr.com on my computer in the account settings, and have no problems sending emails. I use the same info on the touch, and I get the following error when I try to setup an acct:
The SMTP server "smtp-server.twcny.rr.com" does not support authentication. Please check your settings and try again. When I go into the settings on the touch, it shows "password" for authentication. theres got to be a way for me to be able to send emails via my IPT.
Dave

Hi,
Some ISPs will only allow a device to send emails from their server when its connecting to the Internet over their network.
If the iPod touch is connecting to the Internet over the cellular network, you will most likely have to enable an alternate outgoing mail server(one that can only send over the cellular network). This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1426 provides more details about enabling alternate SMTP servers.
You can avoid ISP related send mail issues by switching to another email provider, like MobileMe, Yahoo!, or Gmail.

Verizon email on Ipod Touch

I have new Ipod Touch and can not get Verizon Fios outgoing email set up.
Apple store Geniuses spent two hrs and Verizon support could not solve.
Can anybody help?
Thanks

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It's unusal for ISP email to work on any connection other than their own i.e. unless you're sat at home with the Verizon internet connection you can't send email via their servers. I would suspect that if you tried a Yahoo! or MobileMe account you'll find it works no problem.

Send email on iPod touch 4th

Hi there!!
Since I've updated my iPod touch to run on iOS 6 and iOS 6.0.1 thereafter, the mail app started to do problems when I am trying to send mail.
Sometimes, it doesn't send my email at all and sometimes, it take it several minutes in order to send it. Has anyone here encountered this problem too? What should I do in order to solve this trouble?
Thanks in advance!!
Atar.

I found the solution today. This worked for me, easy, peasy. Here it is for anyone with the same problem.
On a computer (or on the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch that is used to access the
Gmail via IMAP server), launch a web browser.
