Why is my IPod Touch ? generation saying "no WiFi" and how do i fix it?

I have an iphod touch, it does not have a camera but im unsure of the version. I have not used this ipod in several years but i need it for a back up. Anyways, it did not show the signal bars or anything, when i went into settings, there is not an airplane mode it simply just says "WiFi" and next to that option it said "No WiFi" it did not allow me to access for more details, it simply just said No WiFi. How can i fix this? i have done the normal things, make sure my WiFi is usable on other devices, such as the lap top i am using wirelessly right now. Also my mothers phone is capable of connecting to the WiFi.
I have also restored the ipod completely, and reset it and i have also applied the 4.2 update (which is the latest for this version)
Please help? it is my only source of portable technology and i need it for school, any information would be very helpful, but i have already done the basics, which are listed above. Please let me know!

Why does my ipod touch only give me sound and no video when connected to tv

whenever I connect my ipod touch to my flat screen to play a movies or watch a music video saved on the ipod touch ... I get the audio .... sometimes it will show the video but most times its does not ... simply put ... Why? and how do i fix?

cor-el,
Thank you for the help. I followed your instructions and it worked in Safe Mode. I went through my Add-ons and disabled them one at a time until I found the culprit.
Additional question: If I set up Sync and run it for my desktop and laptop, then turn my add-on back on, will it continue to interfere? Or only when it tries to re-sync? I'm asking because I love the add-on that causing the trouble and will have a hard time letting it go.
Thanks again for the help.

my iPod Touch 4G screen flickering light and dark all the time?!?! I also have this problem where at the VERY bottom of the screen, Theres this white bar that keeps flickering on and off!! PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!

The screens are practically the same.
Did you purchase your iPod Touch second hand or direclty from the Apple Store? I would recommend that you go back to the Apple Store and show them both devices in action so that they can advise you closely.

Why do my apps in Launchpad keep rearranging themselves and how do I fix the problem?

I have a variety of apps in Launchpad and I have them arranged just how I like them but then I shut down my MacBook Pro at the end of the day and the next day my apps are in completely different locations. It is really quite annoying to have to rearrange them manually after I boot up my Mac. Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix the problem? Thanks

On-going problem for most of us using Launchpad. Purchased this app that has helped deal with this http://launchpadcleaner.com/. It provides the ability to quickly restore your layout once you had it set up.

Why does my iPod 4th generation say the certificate for this server is invalid when trying to access iTunes? I've never had an issue until this recently.

I have never had an issue until recently that won't allow me to go onto the App Store or iTunes on my iPod touch 4th gen. It says the certificate for this server is invalid. Then it says, you might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be iTunes.apple.com which could put your confidential information at risk. How can I fix this so I can access iTunes and the App Store from my iPod again?

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

Why does my iPod Touch keep changing the date and year?

Whenever I charge my iPod Touch after it completely dies, Safari never loads whatever site I'm trying to go on and the date always goes to Thursday, January 1st, 1970. I noticed the time always changes as well. i.e. it's 10:47am now and the time on the iPod says 5:35am. I don't know how or why it keeps doing this. I didn't mind it the first 2 times, but this keeps happening everytime I turn it on. Does anyone else's do this??

Hi eskimoerin,
reset & software update could fix the problem.
Don't forget to backup your data from iPod.
