Wifi works well on laptop but not on ipod

God bless your soul, tinkering with Apple's odd procedures has been the most annoying thing i ever have to deal with :)

• So you can try plugging it in to a computer/laptop with itunes
• Next, hold the iPod's home button and power button at the same time until the logo below pops up

• The iPod would be in restore mode. iTunes shouldn't be trying to sync or anything and it should probably allow you to restore without any more errors.
  

If this doesn't work....

you could try a program like "iPod Transfer"

I've never used a program like this but it's supposed to be able to recover, restore and backup files on the iPod. Again i really don't know much about this program or if it even works.

I spent a good time just now trying to figure out a reasonable way, and there aren't many ways, so if this doesn't work, just let me know and maybe you can call apple or i can look for something else to help.

Good luck :)

what you can do try to put " password " as the password its wanting and see what it does or else delete all the already connected AP (Access Point) on your ipod touch and see what it does..

hi this sounds like the pocket wifi firewall or push is stopping you from connecting, it will show connection when the password is put in correctly, but unless your either ip, or mac address is registered with the unit it will not let you connect to the net, you will have to see if there is a start ip and an end ip address in the wifi unit, as this might have restrictions to ip address numbers..for example..wifi ip start address might be 192.168.0.1 and wifi end address might be 192.168.0.4 where as your ipod might have an ip address of 192.168.0.7 ( just an example ) so even though the password is ok, it will let you connect for that few seconds, as it has verified the password and is correct, but the ip handling has not allowed you access and the firewall then steps in and blocks you.... hope this helps

Here you go buddy ol' pal:

Hi,
You could try this: Go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
After resetting that, try to connect to your WiFi again and enter the password and it should work.

There's no reason your iPod Touch shouldn't work with any free WiFi network. BUT, it's not enough for the network to not require a password ... some people configure their wireless routers to only accept connections from known devices (via a process called "MAC filtering").

Try an area where there are a lot of unprotected (no password) WiFi networks to test. The parking lot of any apartment building complex is a good place for this.

Have you tried to forget network and go back in and reset up the network on the ipod touch under wifi?

You must have your wireless profile's name and passkey.  Try resetting your router, then make sure you create a new profile for your desktop and take note of the details (ie name, WEP/WPA Key)  Should work just fine if you follow the steps.

Solution #1 is always what apple agent do with iPhone and iPod touch calls. If that doesn't work they always recommend calling your ISP ( internet service provider ) however; you can actually do this yourself.
This may work but simply restart your router. Unplug your wireless G or B router from the wall. Wireless N routers will not work and are not compatible with both of these devices. Even though your computer may be working fine. The iPhone and iPod touches are not compatible with wireless N routers.
After disconnect the wireless router from the wall. Leave it unplugged for 5min or more, then re-connect it. This is called resetting your router.
After resetting your router turn your wi-fi off on your device and turn it back on and you should have some luck. If asks for password. enter in your password to join.
