iPod touch 2nd Gen wifi not working, Pls Help!

[missytoe]

Hey,

New here. I'm wondering if I can get some help with my 2nd gen Ipod touch. Yesterday it suddenly stopped connecting to anything wifi. No settings were changed. The only thing I did was go to itunes for the first time in well, forever. lol! I always use it on my computer to go in itunes, not my ipod. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I could still get on Safari after that but I don't really remember. At some point in the evening it stopped connecting. I can't get on Safari, my mail won't refresh, it would connect to the app store, nothing. Sometimes a message does pop up saying there was a problem connecting to the server. I can't figure this out, internet on my computer is running perfectly fine. My ipod wifi is on, airplane mode off. When I go into my settings it shows my network and that it's connected. I haven't connected it or synced it to the new itunes. I actually haven't downloaded the update yet. Ipod is up to date though without the new sync. Can anyone help me out? I'm very confused.

I am planning on buying the new 5th gen 64g. When ever that comes out! lol! I've been waiting almost 5yrs for a new touch like this new one. I love my ipod and I plan on keeping it to use the 8g just for music. I rather would have pre-ordered the new one online to guarantee getting it, but for some stupid reason the Canadian website doesn't accept Apple gift cards. What a crock! So, like many other I have to wait for the announcement of when it will be in stores so I can cart my butt over to buy one. Hopefully I'm not working, I have a feeling they may go quickly. I'm also hoping it will be soon. I feel like they're messing with our heads!

Anyway, any help with my wifi issue is greatly appreciated.

Have you tried going into the WiFi setting and telling it to forget the network, then adding it again?

A hard reset?

Or rebooting your modem and router?

Got to be frustrating...

Try to reset network settings

I had a similar issue including the same server error message. I fixed it by assigning a static IP address in the WiFi settings on the iPod touch. Of note, I had a Linksys WRT54G router at the time. After I replaced the router, I no longer needed a static IP address.

Thank you!! I reset my router and it fixed the problem. Thankfully! I was concerned!

Quick question if anyone else reads this thread. I don't really want to start a new one. I have not updated my itunes to the 10.7 yet. I am getting the new touch when it comes out. Will I have problems syncing my 2nd gen with the new itunes and/or ios 6? I am still planning to use my 2nd gen 8g for music only, while I use my (eventual) new 64g for apps, music, pics, etc. Will it be an issue having the two and syncing both? I'm a bit worried that it will effect my 2gen being that it's almost 5yrs old and runs on a different system.

Thanks in advance and thanks again for helping with my wifi issues. I use my ipod for everything and would be lost if it didn't work properly.

I wouldn't think iTunes 10.7 would bother the iPod touch 2 seeing as the iPod (2001) still works in iTunes if that's what your asking. My iPod touch 4 works fine with iTunes 10.7 same with my iPhone 3GS
