Wifi Problem - can't get iPod Touch to connect to Internet

I've seen lots of posts and discussions around this issue but cannot seem to nail down a solution. I have no security or encryption whatsoever with my wireless router & network. Other devices can connect wirelessly with no problem but my iPod Touch, although it shows that it is connected to my wireless network with all the proper DNS settings, it cannot access the internet. Of course, none of the wifi-based apps will work as a result.
Based on what I've deduced so far, I think the issue is that my brand new iPod Touch does not like my older Linksys WRK54G wireless router. That said, my brother's newer iPhone picked up my wireless network fine recently??
Does anyone have any advice? Thanks.

I have read all the posts and did all the numerous solutions/suggestions for 2 days now and what worked for me is this:
I went to Dlink online and went to Wireless connection settings to change the SSID name as if I am using my router for the first time, then changed it to WPA 20 characters! then saved the settings. Do this on the original PC (in my case, a desktop linked to the router via Ethernet cable as I have 2 laptops running
from that router as well. Note, before doing the "Save the settings"
above, I reset the Dlink router (by putting a pin at the back of the unit,
then turning it off and on including my separate Netcomm modem.
You then go back to your Ipod touch/ Settings and Choose the new Network Name.GOOD LUCK.

  • Can't get iPod touch to appear in iTunes 10.1.1 ?

    We have followed the trouble shooting pages suggestions - uninstalling & reinstalling iTunes 10.1.1 but still no joy getting new iPod touch 64GB version to appear in iTunes ? If you can help with any advice please

    Try this, go to your devices and printers, and see if the ipod is showing there, right click on it and go to prefences or wherever you can see if the driver has been installed correctly. I had the same problem and when i looked and re installed the driver, my computer made a click and it was working perfectly. Hope this helps.

  • Can't get ipod touch to sync manually!

    I have a new 16 gig ipod touch, which I'd like to sync with content on both my home and work computers. I have an iMac G5 at home (running 10.5) and a Macbook at work (running 10.4.10). I also have the latest version of itunes on both machines.
    I've synced with all of my music from my HOME computer, but when I try to sync with just the video content from my WORK computer (I have 2 season's worth of The Office that I bought from the itunes store on it!), I get a message that "All existing songs, movies and TV shows will be removed from your ipod and replaced with TV shows from your iTunes library." I can't seem to get it to manually update any content, even with the "Manually Manage Music and Videos" box checked!
    What gives? Thanks in advance for any help...

    Someone correct me if I am wrong... But I believe you can only have one computer as the "Home" for an iPod (touch or otherwise).
    If you want to get the videos off of your work computer, I would burn them on a CD (or if you have a portable HDD.. copy them there) then copy them to your home computer add them to your library on your home computer iTunes and sync.

  • How can I get ipod touch to update software after being reset?

    I recently reset my ipod touch so I could sell it. It seemed to reset fine but now will not allow any software updates. It currently has 2.1 and gives an error message when trying to update saying there is a hardware problem.

    What is the exact wording of the erro message?

  • Help?? Can't get iPod Touch to play in my 2013 Nissan Sentra

    I have a 16GB iPod Touch, model MB531LL, and I cannot get it to play in my new 2013 Nissan Sentra.  All of the iPod Touch contents show up on the dashboard display, but no sound comes through the stereo.  When I plug my iPhone into the car it plays (although strange things happen sometimes, like podcasts initially playing at double chipmunk-sounding speed), but not the iPod Touch.  Has anybody experienced a similar situation & found a way to fix it??  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    What model iPhone and iOS did yo also try?
    Sometimes this works
    Try:

    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

  • Still can't get iPod Touch in the UK - 7 Oct 07

    Yes, I know that I could go down the mail order route, but I just know that if I do this there will be loads in the shops.
    Still can't find a Touch to buy over the counter
    Curry's Digital - used to be Dixons, said that they are not even stocking it for the "launch" - great. Places like Argos, Currys and Comet all have them for mail order, but no guarantee of delivery time.

    Yippee - its sunday 7th october , 11:00 and i've just phoned apple bluewater,
    hmv bluewater and chelmsford
    virgin bluewater
    JL bluewater
    all out of stock;-(
    BUT....
    phoned comet on 0870 542 5425 to see if the chelmsford branch have any. they don't but if you press the option on the phone to get thru to home delivery they have 16 16GB left (didnt ask about 8's) , siiting in their warehouse and will guarantee delivery on tuesday before midday for £7.99. so mine is on its way. Horray!
    good luck if you still want one...

  • IPod Touch stopped connecting to Internet (WiFi)

    Just unbelieveable-- I've been using my iPod Touch with a variety of WiFi connections the past 3 months, but really wanted WiFi at my home. So yesterday I got a D-Link DIR-635 Router acting as a bridge Router (connected to my older DI-604 Router) and all was super. This worked yesterday and this morning as well. In fact, it seemed even faster this morning-- well worked great in any case.
    THEN NO MORE WiFi: But this afternoon, although the iPod Touch sees and "connects" to the router, it goes looking for the weather data, or stock data, or YouTube videos or eMail-- nothing.
    YET my PowerBook and MacBook find and make the wireless connection just fine and connect to the internet perfectly--
    I've tried changing some settings in the WiFi settings on the iPod Touch-- nothing.
    Strange strange strange...
    Why would the PBG4 and MacBook work with this and not the iPod Touch-- especially when it worked up until 6 hours ago???
    Any and all comments appreciated. I can give the DNS and router and IP Address info or whatever is needed. If the Macs didn't work, I'd say this was a new router problem-- but they work fine!

    You know I've got a cordless phone RIGHT NEXT to this router-- and the iTouch is back working again, but I am going to RELOCATE that cordless phone.
    I've read a bunch of other comments similar to my post-- changed the DNS to 208.67.222.222 (it didn't work right away after that change, but within 30 minutes...)
    So I'm going to follow this and thanks very much for your feedback and please don't hesitate to send further ideas!
    Working for 30 minutes now-- hope it continues; and looking into relocating that phone!

  • My new ipod touch not connected to internet - How do I do?

    Yesterday, I bought a new 8Gb ipod touch but after I put in details & asking to pay for internet vis card detail, My card go temporarily declined (got sorted out wiht my bank today) but I cannot go back to card details.
    I tried everything to get it connected and I don't know how to get it connected. I tried to get help from Apple support site but cannot get any help from them!
    I have in mind to get it back as very useless - I am very angry and disappointed not to get any internet on my new ipod. I want my money back!!!!

    I do not understand about having to pay for internet. The iPod has no native internet. To connect to the internet it needs a wifi hotspot/router. Are you trying to connect to a wifi hotspot that chargers money and requires a credit card? If so then you need to talk to the providers. If that is not it then provide more information.

  • Can't get AE clients to connect to internet-Plz help me!

    I've had a home with router, wired mac's and pc's, and apple laptops for years with no problems. I removed old router and installed AE base station. I can connect to the Base Station via internet and wireless, but can't get past it to the net. I'm out of ideas.
    My DSL modem from Sprint is a Prestige 660ME-61, with an address of 192.168.2.1. My "test" G5 desktop has an IP address of 192.168.1.23, subnet 255.255.255.0 and Router ip of 192.168.1.254 - as shown in system pref/network/built in ethernet configuration. This works fine with old pbx/router. I tried looking at my PBX/router settings and they use different terminology.
    The AE auto setup didn't work, and I noticed it had set an ip address of 10.0.1.1 for the Base Station. I changed that to 192.168.1.x in the manual setup mode of DHCP. That generated starting and ending addresses of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.200. On the Internet Connection tab, it shows IP address of 192.168.2.2, Router address of 192.168.2.254, and the DNS address from Sprint. With these paramters, I get something like "no connection to the internet" when I try to connect.
    It seemed to me that I should set the router to be on the same 192.168.1.x addresses that DHCP is handing out, but when I try to change the Rounter Address to 192.168.1.254, I get a message saying that rounter address is not compatible with the lan address..
    I'v worked with computers and networking for a long, long time, but I am at wits end - maybe it was the chemo! I would very much appreciate some very smart person telling me which simple setting to change to make it work! And yes, the DSL modem is plugged into the WAN port on the AE. Some of you might wonder how I'm sending this. The answer is I went back to my pre-AE configuration.
    Thanks in advance!
    Randy

    Did you happen to allow enough time for a power recycle when switching the router connected to your DSL modem?
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling
    - Power-off the DSL/Cable modem, Internet Router, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    - Power-on the DSL/Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
    - Power-on the Internet Router; Wait at least 5 minutes.

  • Can't get EA3500 routers to connect to internet.

    I'm trying to upgrade a pair of WRT54G routers to a new pair of EA3500 routers, but I cannot get the modems to connect to the internet.  I've tried both of the new modems, and multiple connection cables between the Charter cable modem and the router, but I have yet to get a usable internet connection.  I'm able to get to the router settings by browsing to 192.168.1.1, but the settings show there is no internet connection.  My old routers still work great if I switch the cable modem over to them, so the problem is not likely with the modem or cable connection.  Any suggestions on what might be going wrong?

    Solved!

    I had tried cycling the modem multiple times, but this time I gave it a full 5 minutes and I was finally able to connect.  Thanks!

  • Can't get airport express to connect to internet after ISP changed my modem

    Hi. My internet service provider installed fibre optic to my house, so they gave me a new modem. Have not been able to get airport express to connect to the internet ever since. Just get the flashing amber light. Other than paying $50 for phone support, I have no idea what to do. I just use the airport so I can play music from iTunes from my stereo using airplay. I use the airport utility on my laptop.

    Does the new modem provide a Wi-Fi network? If it does, and your only goal with Express is for iTunes streaming, the Express would just need to be reconfigured to join the new modem's wireless network. Please check out the following Apple Support article for details.
