Solution to ipod troubles!!!

Green/amber light flashing? Error 1418 message? Ipod not recognized by pc/mac or itunes? Device error? Etc...
After wasting several frustrating days, reading and trying out the many options posted in this and numerous other threads (Thanks to all of those that took the time to offer your suggestions and comments - as Apple certainly is doing nothing to help) I have the answer -- Buy another brand and one that is cheaper.
What is Apple doing to fix the problem - nothing! I was shocked to see that some posts are from August. Why is Apple not helping to fix the problem they created? Greed! Has anyone who has paid for support got a working shuffle or just the option of paying even more money to send it in for repair?
How many of us have spent countless hours trying to fix our shuffles? I bought my shuffle because it could connect to any computer (Mac/PC) via USB for charging and playing. This is something that the second generation does not do. If you bring yours to work or school, do you want to be carrying the dock as well?
How many of our friends are laughing at us because they bought cheap MP3 players that still work?
I am tired and frustrated because this is not the first time a software upgrade screwed things up for me with my shuffle on my PC.
My time is valuable to me as is my money. I am investing in another cheap MP3 player (If it gives me at least a year of service it will be a better value than what I got with my shuffle)- problem solved!

I think I may have found a solution to the Shuffle/iTunes 7 issue that doesn't involve buying a new mp3 player or banging it on the desk lol!! I was having all the same troubles described by everyone else. I couls still see my Shuffle in Windows Explorer so I decided to try and load some music on just like I was loading files onto a regular Stick Drive. I clicked and dragged a coule of album files over to the drive which it accepted. Of course when I tried to play them nothing happened. The cool part is that when I turned on iTunes it recognised my Shuffle. I loaded some music on and it worked fine for the first time since dowloading iTunes 7. I then went back into Windows Explorer and deleated the album files I had dragged across and bingo I have my full 496MB capacity and a working Shuffle. This may be a coincidence or something else may have happened unbeknownst to me (an Apple update??) but give it a go if your still having trouble.

Hello everyone. As a new Mac user, I would really like to know the easiest way to move my music files from my old PC to my MacBook? Do I move only the files, the entire iTunes and how? I have a lot of music so it is not a solution with iPod/iPhone.

I have an AT&T contracted iphone 5. Cannot send mms to anyone but other iPhone users. If you search the Internet, you'll see that the problem is everywhere...both the carriers and Apple are actling like the problem belongs to the other, or feigning any knowledge (which is kind of funny since the no MMS thing was in an ios6 beta that was released awhile ago, so I KNOW apple knows about it). No, I'm not running a beta (obviously, I just got my iphone 5). Awesome. Have a great camera on this thing, but cannot send OR receive MMS from anyone other than other iphone users. Gotta love it.

IPod troubles

Hello,
I'm having problems with my Ipod...it's not being recognized by my PC and is making some clicking noising from the HD I suppose.
I tried to restore/reformat it but it's not recognized by iTunes or the iPod Updater...I also tried to put it into disk mode but thats not working either...all I get is the exclamation folder
any tips?
thanks for the help

Hello,
If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
Intermediate Level
A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“Partition Magic”.
C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iPod updater.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

Advance Level
A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
B. Format your iPod with a start disk
I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
Just in case that you are at the following situation
Your iPod warranty is expired
You don’t want to pay any service charges
You are prepared to buy a new one
You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
Warning ! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
Last Resort Level
1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

Solution to iPod Updater problems

Anyone experiencing problems with their iPods only downloading a handful of tunes - here is a solution:
The problem is due to your old iPod being incompatible with the new Updater and/or iTunes v.6.
Apple don't appear to be too worried so the best solution is to roll back your versions of the Updater and iTunes to a pairing that works.
If you have your original CD then you could use that, but my trusty Pod is so old it came with Musicmatch Jukebox, not iTunes.
So, first use Add/Remove Programmes utility to remove all iPod updaters from your PC.
Then go to Download.com and search for iPod updaters. I've used iPod Updater 2005-06-26 which is on there.
Download this and install it.
Plug in your iPod and open the Updater.
Run the Restore function.
Then open iTunes and check which version you are running (Help menu, About iTunes). If you are running the latest version (6) then you may be in trouble as I could not get it to work with this release. You'll need to track down an earlier version. Unfortunately Apple do not allow you to download any of the previous releases.
So, if your original CD has iTunes you can use this, otherwise find a friend who has bought an iPod recently and use their CD. I recently got my wife a Nano so used this disk which has iTunes 4 on it.
Once this has been installed plug in your iPod and it will go through the naming and registering bit, as if you are using it for the first time.
You should then be able to Sync away as normal.
So - in brief, the configuration you are after is:
iPod Updater 2005-06-26 & iTunes 4
I hope this works for you. It's taken me about 30 hrs of frustration to finally solve!

I just downloaded the new update for iTunes 6. and it fixed all the problems I had with updating from iTunes 4. to iTunes 6. Update came out 2005.10.20

Solution to iPod Touch Podcast Sync Problem

Like many of you, I had problems syncing my podcasts to my iPod Touch. I have the newest model with 2.1.1, and I had the same problem where (in iTunes) I would drag and drop the podcasts onto my iTouch and nothing would happen. They would not be listed as a Genre, in the Podcast section, or anywhere - but my memory would be sucked up in a proverbial iTouch black hole!
*The intermediate solution:* Create a smart playlist on your iTouch called "Podcasts" where "Podcast is true." That's the only rule you need and in that new podcasts you will see all of your invisible podcasts you copied
*Why this happens:* The podcast section on the iTouch only will show UNPLAYED podcasts, once they are played, they "vanish" but really they are just invisible (unless you have that smart playlist). This is obviously a glitch to be fixed in either the next iTouch update or iTunes update. In order to delete unwanted Podcasts, you must go into the smart play list and delete them from there.
I HOPE THIS HELPS!

I discovered that if you uncheck edit the Smart Playlist and uncheck the Live Update box, you get the option to delete podcasts. The bad news is that I could still not get the wanted podcast to load again into the regular podcast lists (and I made sure to mark it as new before I tried.)
This is a serious on-going issue for me, as podcasts seem to randomly become invisible. I downloaded three hours of a radio broadcast from this morning, each of which was a separate podcast. Hours 1 and 3 showed up just fine, but hour 2 only showed up in the smart list. I hadn't listened to any of them yet, as they were all brand new today.
What's seriously annoying is that this has clearly been an issue for some time on the Touch. My old 60 gig never had a problem with podcasts. It's enought to make me nostalgic.

Solution to iPod not recognised by Windows XP and iTunes

I have seen many people having a really hard time with their iPods when they suddenly get a message saying that an unknown usb device has malfunctioned...etc, when they connect their iPod on their computer. I had this problem too and for a few stressfull days i have been searching for a solution and testing my iPod on other computers to see if it's its fault.
I found out iPod was ok and the problem was on my computer as my iPod worked fine on my friend's laptop. So i googled for a solution for this usb bug and found out it has been happening to other devices such as external hard drives.
I spotted someone saying that by turning off the computer and pulling the socket for 30 mins so that no electricity goes into the computer solved his problem.
At first i couldn't believe it was that simple because i had tried everything written on apple's support pages, tried to update the usb drivers (after reading a post), even messed up with BIOS and registry keys. To no avail.
But i tried this and left my pc shut for some hours just to be sure. It worked and i couldn't believe my eyes!
I hope someone finds this helpful. Unfortunately I don't know to whom goes the credit since i don't remember where i read it.
iPod 5G 60 GB Windows XP
iPod 5G 60GB White Windows XP

Hi all, seems to be a lot of issues with this little device. All it has to do is play music like any other mp3 player. Unfortunately, it can't even do this. The two other mp3 players I have work without fault, don't require a 35 meg program download to work, don't need to be connected to a computer to recharge the battery and I have never needed to "Do the 5 R's" to try and fix problems. I have never needed to unplug printers to get my computer to recognise the other players or had to decypher "blinking light codes" to understand what the device is doing. Still there are die-hard Apple fans who will say there must be something wrong with your computer. I had believed that Apple were superior in a range of ways yet with my first (and last) foray into the world of Apple products, I find this to be untrue. I don't want or need the frustration that I have experienced with this device and from the number of people on this forum, I would say that I am not alone.

A solution to ipod going in to recovery ...at last!!

ipod 160 gig classic and 120 gig classic.
I had a 160gig (IP1) with my itunes library on an external hard drive. After 15 months of no problems, suddenly IP1 went in to recovery on sync of new tracks (lib. approx 15 500 songs and about 65 gig). Tried many obvious things (different usb port, new lead, using the external drive through laptop, using a powered usb, uploading in 10 gig stages, making a new library) and no luck. Found that if it got to anything under 32 gig, it was fine on disconnection. 1 byte over and goes in to recovery. Tried diff. upload orders of tracks/genres etc etc but same result, 1 byte over 32 gig and recovery.
Got a new 120 gig (IP2)for birthday (as suspected it might be a prob with IP1)and lo and behold same thing. Tried 4 times and for some reason on final try it didnt go in to recovery so at least had my library on ipod now. Kept trying IP1 but no luck. Didnt want to risk IP2 as didnt want to lose a full library from ipod again.
Due to another reason I had to strip and reload XP on to my comp so thought this might solve the itunes/ipod problem too! Tried IP1 again but same result, recovery on disconnection over 32 gig.
Then had problem with the external drive and replaced it. Tried again with IP1 same result.
New tunes have been added to my library on comp. since this problem so now 16 250. How do I upload? Used ipod 2 ipod and put new songs on IP1 (which had nothing on after recovery) and transfered over to IP2 so not risking IP2 going in to recovery via itunes.
Just for the ** of it I thought why not try putting full library fron IP2 on to IP1 just to confirm that the prob. had to be IP1. Guess what via ipod 2 ipod IP1 takes the lot all 16 250 tracks and 71gig...
So why the ** will itunes always send them in to recovery (on disconnection past the 32 gig mark) when I try to upload via that??????? It is done on the same computer, the same operating system several different versions of itunes (even tried a retro version in desperation) brand new libraries (in case was a flaw in one), same songs etc etc etc...Works via ipod 2 ipod but not via itunes
Any one like to offer a solution???? Please??????
Finally solved after 15 months. Via ipod to ipod you have to manually disconnect the ipods, so even if you are away from comp, they DONT automatically go in to the 'OK TO DISCONNECT' white bar on the ipod screen routine. When you upload via itunes it WILL automatically disconnect and, with my 2 ipods it always send them in to recovery.
Data base now 18 000+. For the sheer **** of it I gave it another try via itunes and happened to be sat at the comp when the final tracks synced. Rather than let it auto disconnect I did it manually and....this is the crunch...while the ipod screen shows 'OK TO DISCONNECT' and BEFORE the white bar has finished moving across, I unplugged the USB and f* me...no recovery and full library on the ipod!!!!!!!
So with my second ipod I experimented and found that before 32gig if I allow it to disconnect automatically and NOT unplug the USB it is fine...if I am 1 byte over 32 gig YOU MUST be at the computer when the last track syncs and unplug the USB BEFORE the white bar has run across the ipod screen annd everything is fine.
I am not tecchy enough to have any idea why (some 'surge' or 'reaction' ither by Windows, the computer or ipods if I allow the auto disconnect to complete???) but if anyone has a similar problem with a library over 32 gig then this solves it. Have to say am surprised (in all my previous postings) that nobody suggested this but hopefully it will help someone in future!!!

As outlined in this Apple KB article.
Windows confuses iPod with network drive

Putting music on ipod -- trouble.

heres the situation;
I put music on my ipod before and was all happy and stuff. but now since i got more songs, i want to put those on to my ipod too. the trouble is, when i try to click and drag files to my ipod, it won't transfer (i can't transfer, when my mouse goes over my connected ipod, it turns into a 'can't do' sign..you know, circle with diagonal lign through it.)
the names of songs on ipod are light grey, and there's a lock key symbol on the right of where it displays how much memory is left on ipod
is this an update problem or something? i need some help please

There are many different problems putting music on the iPod, this is one of them. Check there is enough memory on the iPod to put the music on and check the music is the right file for the iPod, otherwise I recommend you check out the Apple support pages or contact Apple.

Itunes and Ipod trouble

I tried to DL a version of Ifill from Griffin products and have had trouble ever since with Itunes and in essence my Ipod. When I plug in my Ipod now, Itunes doesn't automatically open and refresh my Ipod. Manage manually is checked and when I uncheck it and Apply, Itunes tells me to Erase and Sync with the Itunes library, so I tried that and Itunes froze up and now I am missing music on my Ipod and the majority of my ALbum artwork is with the wrong songs.

Almost the same problem.
After installing Ifill, I can´t automatically sync my iPOD.
Already uninstalled Ifill, cleaned registry, reinstalled Itunes, everything !
DON´T USE IFILL. A LOT OF BUGS.
Anyone got answers ?
Thank you

Ipod troubles: jolt, freezing..

Hi guys!
I'm writing here because I'm having some troubles with my 3d gen nano:
1-
first of all..is 2/3 days that sometimes when I'm listening to music I feel a small jolt in my ears.. is it possible? o.O could it be because my ipod sock isn't 100% cotton? I don't think is speakers' fault because they are new and they have never given me such problems..however today I started using the ipod speakers.. let's hope.. :\
2-
almost everytime I connect the ipod to the pc the ipod freezes, and I have to reset the ipod. this is really so annoying...is there a way to fix it?
3-
sometimes the ipod reset itself automatically at the end of a song. now: my previous mp3 player didn't have such problems..I'm seriously thinking at ipod linux unless apple doesn't fix something via software..(converting the damaged mp3 would be really annoying because I don't know how to recognise them: itunes plays all the mp3s correctly.. also my previous mp3 player..)
4-
a little one..and I've noticed other people wrote about this: there is a problem in ipod's coverflow with album from different artist with the same name!!!! apple, please, fix it!!!
if smeone has suggestions for me..it would be really goood

See if you can find a Mac computer and do the following
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes and click “Restore”
It is caused by the bad sectors on the hard drive of iPod, and it must be formatted to solve but not Restore. Don't ask me why, the PC's formatting would not help in most cases

Swiching ipod, trouble with library

Okay I started using an Ipod waaaay back in the day and when I was first using the software everything showed up in the itunes library i went from an ipod mini to a nano, and all i had to do was click and drag the music from the library to the nana icon.
So a couple of years ago my old ipod went bust and my parents gave me a new one for Christmas its a 2nd gen ipod nano its started having trouble where it would only turn on some of the time so my mom gave me her old ipod, when she got a new one, the one she gave me is a ipod nano 3rd gen
so here is my problem, when i was using my 2nd gen nano none of the music i have that is not purchased from itunes shows up in the main library (the one that shows even if you dont have an ipod pluged in) a lot of these songs are from CDs but i dont have a lot of those CDs anymore, the whole reason i use an ipod is because im really hard on my CDs and they always end up so scratched they wont play anymore. Anywho so i'm not sure how to get those songs from my 2nd gen nano to my 3 gen nano because in the past when i went to burn the music to a disk it would only want to burn the music from the main library.
any help or suggestions would be great appreciated.

Not sure it is the case but you might want to check if you have unecessary top and left properties that are on the timeline but unused. If so, delete these lines.

What is the solution about some trouble with itunes 10.5?

My PC : windows 7 My product is ipod Touch 4g.
I installed new version itunes 10.5 and iOS 5 On October 21 st 2011 but it has problems:
I can´t open itunes store and I can´t sync my ipod! .. what happen?... Please I need a solution about this problem.!

The solution for me was to completely uninstall PC Tools Spyware doctor with Antivirus and then do a complete reinstall. Just disabling the program will not work.
There are other solutions to the problem of not being able to access the itunes store in other threads.

My Solution for iPod Touch 3rdGen not recognized as device in iTunes

Ok, I tried everything I could, all the recomended solutions including removing itunes completely and re-installing, and nothing worked. My iPod is recognized on another computer so I figured it to be my computer's setup... or a problem with iTunes. In desperation I searched on line (google) and found iTunes 9.0. I removed iTunes completely, re-booted and installed 9.0 and suddenly it worked... sort of... The iPod Touch needs 10.5 or greater to work... so INSTEAD of removing iTunes 9.0, I did an upgrade to 10.6.1 from within iTunes and when I plugged my iPod back in... IT WORKED !!!! I figure there was something not quite right about the fresh install from the Apple website, but the upgrade went perfectly. I can speculate on what it was... I think the upgrade does not remove all the older files but only installs some of the components since it did NOT need to be re-booted after the live upgrade to 10.6.1.... Anyway... After 3 days of pulling my hair out, I'm SOOOOOOOoooooooo happy!!!!!!!!

So you tried eveything here:

Will there ever be a solution? Ipod not connected to network

well we have been having similiar issues with the ipod touch 8 gb, so after getting a new version of linksys router Firmware Version: v1.0.04 suggested by apple, and having them(linksys) configure it, 2xs, and calling apple a few times since feb 12th, we keep getting intermitted messages that it cannot connect to the network. we have done everything that u all have listed. so now we have it set to WEP which was suggested by APPLE, yesterday, and again today we could not connect to the network.***sigh** so we disconnected the router for a few mins reset the network setting for the 100th time and got back online. for today.
But if you google your issue with your Ipod there are pages and pages of users having the same issue. what i am really wondering is when someone is going to figure out what is REALLY going on? we should not have to go through this process daily,it should be resolved by now.

Follow my direction to use WEP128 and set your router for G broadcast only and you will be OK. In G mode the router communicates @ 54Mbps so speed across the wireless network will not be an issue. Use a 30 character key in Field 1, enter it manually. Do not let the router generate keys for you based on a Paraphrase.
Disable the Easy Wi-Fi Setup PIN feature if your router is so equipped. Do everything manually. Did you move the 2.4Ghz phones and try changing the router channels between 1, 6 & 11? This is very important.
There are previous discussions regarding the fact that N is causing/has caused iPod Touch connection problems for other users, so why take a chance?
I'm sure "luvlabs" heart is in the right place, but just do what I say and as long as your router does not have a malfunction your problem will be solved.
For the record I fully understand all facets of Wi-Fi encryption from WEP thru WPA2 and am offering the WEP128 solution as a combination of reasonable security coupled with reliable performance for "overtheedge."

Solution to ipod troubles!!!
