Updated to iOS5, now ipod says i'm in China

I updated my ipod to iOS5, and now my ipod says I'm in Shanghai, China.
I'm in the US.
The time, weather, and twitter trend list are all set to Shanghai. I even tried the locate my ipod thing and it said my ipod is in China, lol.
I know I can set the time manually, and I did, but everything else is messed up and it's bothering me. I never had this problem before I updated to iOS5.
Anyone know how I can fix this?

The iPod gets your location from identifying your router and then checking its (Apple's) database for the location in the router.  If your router is not in its database there is nothing you can do to get it correctly entered.  Shanghai may be the default location for routers not in the database.  Apple will eventually scan your area and get your router into the database.  Try taking your ipod to a site with a public wi-fi source.  Connect to the wi-fi and see if your location works there.

    Have you tried booting off the Installation DVD then dropping into the Utilities to Reset Password? It may have got corrupted, just set it back to the one you are familiar with.

  • Will Apple cover me if updating to iOS5 on ipod Touch 3rd gen ruins/bricks it?

    I have heard stories of some people's apple products not working/bricked after attempting to upgrade to iOS5.
    I have a 1.5 year old ipod Touch 3rd gen. No warranty on it from Apple (tho I do have one from Square Trade for ADH, but I called them and they said if it is a software issue, they don't cover it.)
    I am very concerned about d/ling the ios5 upgrade and it ruining my ipod touch.  In effect, I will take a device that could fetch almost $200 on ebay (which I could then use to upgrade to a Touch 5gen), and turn it into a worthless piece of junk if I upgrade and it ruins it.
    Also, I know that they have released 5.0.1 (beta I believe?) for update.   I still read stories on here from people waiting until now (Nov, a month after it was first released when so many people tried to d/l it and had terrible problems), but now are still getting network timed out error msgs, etc.
    So is there ANY protection from Apple if their update should screw my ipod touch??
    Should I just wait longer for a final, stable version  of ios 5? (like v5.1)  Or just totally skip the iOS 5 upgrade and stay safe with iOS 4?  I don't know that it is really worth the $200 loss risk to upgrade to iOS5.  (i.e. 3rd gen doesn't have the ability to find and lock/wipe my lost touch, etc.)
    I do know that I should:
    1) install itunes 10.5 anew on my laptop  (itunes and syncing WAS done on my tower, until I just got it back from being serviced for some Major problems/virues/malware/etc.  I'm not comfortable using it, as the problems on it included not being able to start Local Services, connect to the internet, no audio services, etc.  The guy says it is booting up and services are working now, but you never know....But i digress...)
    2) be on AC and not battery on my laptop
    3) be hardwired (ethernet) to the internet and not use my wireless connection
    4) turn off Windows 7 Firewall, and disable my PC Tools Spyware Docter with Antivirus.
    So, what do you all think? should I wait until later to upgrade to say os 5.1?  Should I even RISK upgrading to iOS5 on a touch 3gen and lose almost $200 cash?  And will Apple give me ANY protection should it ruin my touch?  (I seriously doubt it.)
    Thanks for input.

    Before proceeding with the update, it wouldn't hurt to manually back up the iPod in iTunes by right->clicking on it from under the Devices section and choosing Backup.    See this article for more information on what is stored in the backup.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    Also make sure that any content you may have synced to the device from iTunes, such as Music, movies, TV Shows, podcasts, etc. are all stored on your computer and in iTunes before updating the iPod's version of iOS.
    Otherwise, I would go ahead with the upgrade.  I didn't have any issues with it on my iPhone.

  • HT201413 updated last night and now ipod says to coonect to itunes which i cant because apple application support was not found.  tells me to uninstall and reinstall itunes.  Will i lose all my music or is it still on my ipod?

    Updated ipod last night and now when turned on tells me to coonect to itunes (picture of usb cable with arrow to itunes).  I can't connect to itunes on computer because apple application support can't be found.  Tells me to uninstall then reinstall itunes.  Will I lose all my music or is it still on my ipod?

    Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall doesn't touch your content. (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times in case of disasters.)

  • I tryed to update my iphone, now its saying i have to connect with itunes but when i plug it into a computer the only option is to restore it, i would lose all my things please help quick.

    so recently i wanted to load my friends music onto my phone because my laptop broke and i had no other way to get my music. i loged out of my itunes so the music could load without any problems. i tryed to so an update on the softwear today and my phone says i need to conncect to itunes, but when i try the only option is to restore it! that would mean all my things on my phone GONE. please help i cant live without a phone for long but i dont want to have to restore it. pleaseee please tell me somone can help.

    The problem is your friend's music does not belong to you.  It is owned by your friend.
    I'm afraid you cannot do what you are trying to do.  Restoring the iPhone is what you would have to do.
    In the future, put your music on the computer and transfer it to the iPhone, not the other way.

  • Upgraded to iOS4.02 - now iPod says No Content yet music tranfered to phone

    Hi
    I was running iOS4.0 on my 3GS and after synching it found the iPod app would close after a second or two - an issue that's been reported elsewhere.
    I decided to restore it, so ended up upgrading to iOS4.02.
    After completing the restore and transferring everything back, I find that when I open iPod now, it just states that there is no content, yet there are gigs of music on it.
    I have tried restoring a number of times now on 3 different PCs running Vista 32, 64 and XP. I have alse restored from old backups and also set up the phone as new - all with the same result - No Content.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    It was working fine before 4.02 - surely this must be a software bug?
    Thanks
    G.

    Try resetting the iPhone with it being disconnected from the computer. Hold down the sleep/wake button and home button until you receive the apple logo and then let go.
    This happened to me with photos.
    Hope this helps!!

  • Updated to iOS5 now my purchased movies are gone- how to find them?

    I synced my phone this morning, updated the software this afternoon, and now a movie I purchased a month ago is not on my phone or my iTunes. Where did it go and how can I get it back?

    Hi Roger!
    You are right.  It was not exaclty the moving to iCloud that caused the e-mail to disappear. What happened after the change to iCloud was that I did see my old email but when I tried to open it just does not show any content.
    Then I looked at some options and did Choose Mailbox > Rebuild.
    That is when all my old mail disapeared.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you so much for your help!!
