iPod touch connection Issue

What kind of network do you have at home? WEP? WPA? It may have something to do with that. I've read on these boards that one type of network works for some while the same one doesn't work for others.

 

Try this for kicks:

Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Network Settings

Something might just be funked on it and it might work after that.

Otherwise, if you can do it without her finding out right now - give Apple a call on the phone. Better to do it now than after Christmas. And, on the off chance there is a hardware problem you can get it sorted out before the big day.

 

you need to add the ip to your router I had the same problem

 

The last post is only applicable if you have hardware address filtering. Devices on the network have unique hardware IDs which allow the network admin to limit the access that those devices have. I would suggest trying to access a WiFi connection from a verifiable location, such as a public WiFi hotspot, an Apple Store, etc.; that will tell you whether the issue follows the iPod touch or is something unique to your home network.

 

What kind of router do you have? Netgear, Linksys? Is this a modem/router combo like a 2Wire?
