Wireless connection to ipod touch 8G 2nd generation

I may have to use a different wireless router, (which could be one which uses wireless n), as i am having to change my broadband service provider. So can anyone advise me what wireless does the ipod touch 8G 2nd generation use (ie wireless b/g/n etc) & are they compatible with wireless n/wireless routers, or is wireless n backwards compatible/generic etc with all other wireless/devices.
THANKS

All the iPod Touch models are b/g except for the newest 4th generation which is finally now "n"..
Yes, they are backwards compatible.
2nd generation (b/g)

3rd generation (b/g)

I have always used all Apple Base station.
Time Capsule, Airport Extreme, and also the Airport Express of which I have 3...
I am now using the Dual Band Airport Extreme for the main base station and the 3 Airport Express units for Airplay and one of them to extend the network.
Works well with the Dual Band.

MacBook loses wireless connection when iPod touch connects to network

hi
ever since upgrading to 10.5.5. on my MacBook i've had the "intermittent network connection" problems that have been described and discussed (without any real solution from what i can see) in another thread.
PROBLEM: every couple of minutes my MacBook loses connectivity to the network - the AirPort icon still says that i'm connected, albeit with one less bar than before, but i can't connect to anywhere, not even to the wireless router - and to re-establish a connection i need to switch off AirPort, switch it back on, it will then reconnect, and after two minutes or so i have to do it all over again because the network connection drops again.
NOVEL OBSERVATION 1: reinstalling the 10.5.5. combo system updater helped somewhat. i used to get an error in system.log about there being too many state transitions on the wireless network and about network traffic reduction measures being taken to overcome this problem, but after reinstalling the 10.5.5. combo system updater this message never appears in the logs and I get kicked off only sometimes (see what i say in point 2 below)
NOVEL OBSERVATION 2: now my MacBook will only lose its connection to the net if i switch on my iPod Touch and switch its wireless interface on. in fact, the only way to avoid the MacBook getting constantly disconnected is to make sure that the wireless interface on the Touch is switched off in the Touch's system preferences; if I just sleep the Touch (top button) without switching off its wireless network interface first in its System Preferences, then the MacBook will keep disconnecting even while the Touch is in sleep mode (presumably the Touch keeps polling the network or something, even while it's in sleep mode).
DIAGNOSTIC NOTE 1: I have another wireless device (my Nokia E51, which has wifi capabilities) and if I connect it to the wireless interface then the MacBook's connection isn't dropped - i.e. the MacBook only loses its wireless connection when my iPod Touch connects to the wireless network.
DIAGNOSTIC NOTE 2: I have upgraded my wireless router (before I had a Linksys WRT-54GC, now I have a Netgear WGR614v9) but that has made no difference.
DIAGNOSTIC NOTE 3: I have also tried altering the router's settings (i have played around a_lot with this, trying every combination I could think of - e.g. staple down particular devices to particular ip addresses, use only 802.11g versus automatic b/g, etc) but that has made no difference either.
RANT:
The only thing that prevents these disconnections from occurring is to keep the iPod Touch's wireless switched off, which ***** because if I'm in the kitchen I can't have it switched on to monitor my email (yes, I've no life, i hang around waiting for emails), or if I go have a lie down and want to check out stuff on the net, or to browse the iTunes music store or whatever, then I know that my connecting my iPod Touch the computer will be disconnected.
This obviously *****, right? And a lot of people are having wireless problems with their MacBooks, right? And these problems seem to have been around for over a year, right?
So why hasn't Apple solved this problem yet? Or am I just being melodramatic?
Your thoughts on any or all of the above, or flames if that's your preferred method of communicating, are invited. =)

Having the same problem here. As a first time mac user, Apple has certainly made a bad first impression.
For me, the issue seems to occur when transferring files between computers that are connected to the same access point (when transferring files from wired computers on the network there is no issue). My vista laptop and every laptop I have tried has worked perfectly fine with this access point so I am 100% convinced it is the mac. Basically when I copy the files, after about 100mb, I am unable to access anything on the local network or internet until I restart Airport. The weird thing is that even though I am unable to access anything, the airport utility says it is connected. I might also note that the wireless signal strength is full.
If I can't get this figured out in a few days, this computer is going back to the store where it came from and I will officially label myself anti-mac. This type of issue is just unacceptable for something so main stream.

Ipod Touch 16GB 2nd Generation

I purchased a 2nd Gen 16GB Ipod Touch from Argos in October 2009. There is a kind of clicking noise when I touch the righthand side of the screen. The lefthand side makes no noise. I was just wondering what I should do as the 16GB is no longer availiable to buy.

You have to buy updates through iTunes and install them through iTunes.
You cannot update the OS directly on the iPod touch.
If you already have 3.0 on the iPod then you will get 3.1 for free in iTunes.

Can I updated my iPod touch 8GB 2nd generation?

Hi.. I have a old iPod touch with ios 2.2 and i try to update it but I couldn't do it, because a mistake takes off "iTunes couldn't restore ur iPod error (-1)". What Can I do?

Error -1
Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Hi,
I am trying to connect an iPod touch 3rd (ios 5.1.1) generation to control my KEYNOTE's presentations in my iPad2 (ios 6.1.3). I activated bluetooth in both but they do not see each other. Is there any specific procedure to allow the connection or it is a problem of compatibility between versions of ios?
I appreciate any input.

I tried connecting my Ipod Touch 5th generation to the internet via ad-hoc from my windows 7 laptop. My iPod was connected to the internet but just in a moment. Then it disconnects. would someone help me?

I tried connecting my Ipod Touch 5th generation to the internet via ad-hoc from my windows 7 laptop. My iPod was connected to the internet but just in a moment. Then it disconnects. I tried so many other option such as creating another ad-hoc from other laptop but still the same result. Is there something wrong with my iPod? this is so frustrating. I've been using ipod touch 4th gen before I got the 5th and connecting to the internet via ad-hoc was never a problem for me. Would someone help me?

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

How do I connect an IPod Touch (4th Generation) to media player to sync a music playlist?

How do I connect an IPod Touch (4th Generation) to Windows media player to sync a music playlist? It is not listed in the listing of compatible devices for Windows Media Player. And it does not recognize my IPod. It does recognize my IPod as a camera perhaps because it has pictures in it. Thank you!

No. You can only sync an iPod from media in your iTunes library.
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar and Control+B to show the Menu bar
To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device> and follow the instructions.

Wierd!!! wireless router toasted when connecting to ipod touch...

this is sooo wierd... everytime when i connect my ipod touch to my wifi , it toasted my wifi router and i have to reboot the router to get it to work again. And if i connect my ipod again, my router will go dead again. (it said it can't release an ip address).
Also same thing happened if i connect my ipod via USb cable.
any ideas???

it happens if you connect your ipod touch to your computer using usb ?
sounds very strange as connecting it to usb should not affect tcp/ip to the router at all
but i would try upgrading the firmware of the router anyway

I m using itunes 10.5

This usually indicates you really have a 2nd gen unit. Check the model number on the back. A1288 is 2nd gen. A1318 is 3rd gen.

HT4623 my IPod Touch is a generation 3 with a camera and when i go into my settings and try to do what the instructions on your website say but in general i only have About and then the rest of the bars but i don't have one that says Software Update

my Ipod Touch is a generation 3 with a camera and when i go into the settings to look for the Software Update bar i don't have one

If you have cameras then you have 4G iPod. To update connect to your computer and update via iTunes
iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
- A 4G to 6.1.5 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

Computer shuts down when I connect my Ipod Touch to it.

Each time I go to connect my Ipod touch to my computer, I get the blue screen of death appear on my computer with a huge error message and then it shuts down, 'To protect itself'
I have tried to connect my Ipod Nano and thats fine, works no problems.
I have followed various advice notes from Apple with no joy of sorting the problem out.

I've been having the same issue with my 2nd gen itouch. My computer would crash and show a blue screen after I connected my itouch. My other IPODS would work fine. After unistalling/reinstalling several times, restoring my computer to an earlier date, and updating all usb drivers, I was still having my computer crash with my itouch. If you have a webcam, type in the following in the search support: What to do when Windows XP or Vista computer displays a blue screen error message when syncing the iPhone or iPod touch.
I solved my issue with solution one. My itouch is connecting fine without any crashes, for now. Hope this solves your issue.
