Ipod Touch Tricks just got upgraded with a new TouchCrunch forum. The forum is for Ipod Touch and Iphone users.
I get about 30 to 40 emails per day from visitors asking for help.
So I thought why don't I spend $20 and create a forum where ipod touch tricks visitors can ask question and get answers from other and me as well.
What I would like you to do:
Go to Ipod Touch Forum and register. Don't mind the layout that is about to change in next few days.
To be added:
- Touch theme
- Easy Layout and Navigation
- Various Ipod Touch Contests
PS:Don't forget about Ipod Touch January Contest. I will offer Ipod Touch Case worth $49 so subscribe to Ipod Touch Tricks feeds and don't miss any updates!

Exactly the same thing is happening to me. Bought a new IPod Touch, configured it to match my eMac network, but 192. IP address keeps changing to 169. and can't connect!
A solution would be much appreciated.

Similar (maddening) thing is happening with me. For weeks I've been able to connect to the net via a wireless network. Then a couple of days ago I couldn't get to the net or to check stocks or weather or email-- altho the touch showed I was connected to the wireless network and the signal was very strong.
I had done nothing to the thing between the time it was working and when it didn't--no music listening, no picture viewing, no syncing--nothing. WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED?
Hi. I hate to bring up a painful and recurring theme, nut i cannot connect my new iPod touch to the internet. I chose my home network correctly, punched in my WEP correctly, and I am seeing my IP address and subnet mask showing up correctly...but still no Internet access, This is maddening! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!
I first connected my touch with my wifi today, i can get on, but it kicks me off of anything using the internet after about 2-5 minutes! Very frustrating!! HELP!!!
on the ad for the ipod touch it says you can connect anywhere theres a internet connection... ok well im abel to use my own pass and my work pass to connect to those... but i went on a trip and i couldent connect... is there anyway to make it so i dont have to type in a pass to get the web up? cause it sucks that you have to know the password to connect... do they expect you to know every pass in the whole wide world?
i have a network . it just says to type in the password . and i dont kno what the password is . how do i fiigure that out .

I just got an ipod touch..I can connect to my work wifi just fine but I constantly have to reestablish a connection at home. Now I do have to connect to my laptop which is wireless to move videos etc over so this may be the reason if it is how do I stop it from doing that?
Nikki
I had a power failure in the house. Re-start and power up my PC but lost Wifi on my Itouch. Your suggestion to first power off the modem, PC, and itouch is helpful to get wifi re-connected. Especially the part for a true Itouch power off for 4-7 seconds and slide the power off to the right on the Itouch. Hope others can learn from it.
hey my wifi for some reason wont work. when to go to settings then my wifi box is grey and says no wifi whereeve i am even if im next to a router... what is worng?
My boyfriend bought me the ipod touch 1st gen 16gb lastnight and when I got everything situated I was able to get on the internet. There was a newer software that was available and so I downloaded it and now I cant get on the internet. I called tech support and they kept tellin me that its cuz of the wi-fi...why was it working for me before I downloaded the software and now after I downloaded it...it doesnt connect. It doesnt even find one. My friends works just fine.
Hello, I have an ipod touch and like all of the other people leaving comments, I have lost my wifi connection on my ipod. I got it for Christmas and it worked just fine. Now, within the past week, it just stopped working. How do I get it to work again? Should I send it to Apple and get it fixed or take it to the store?
I cannot connect to my home wireless. I have contacted Apple and Linksys (router) and no one can figure this out. I have a strong signal but will not download content. Would like to someone assist me in troubleshooting. I have done the "hard reset" of the router and iPod .. I'm running out of ideas.
My Ipod Touch would connect to airport wifi (three litle bars appear) but not the internet. I solved this running the Airport Utility application. Tok me a while to figure out this simple solution!

I have verizon wireless broadband service on my laptop computer. Should this provide a network for my ipod touch to connect to? If so, do I need to type in a name for "other network"?
This is for all the AT&T wireless home network users out there that have a 2WireXXX wireless router box. I, like so many of you, have tried just about everything to connect tto the internet with my ipod touch. But this worked for me. First, Your IP touch needs to recognize your home network (settings, Wi-Fi). Under Choose a network, you should see your router name, mine happens to be
2wire648. Hopefully these steps will help you get connected. Other users of different routers may try the same thing. 1. reset your network settings on the iptouch. (SETTINGS, GENERAL, RESET, RESET NETWORK SETTINGS). I had my ip touch hooked up to my computer durning this process. Let the ip touch reboot (this is automatically done). 2. At the main menu touch (settings, Wi-Fi,) ensure that your ip touch wifi is turned on. Now look at choose a network, you should see your home network listed. select it. 3. when it asks for a password (this is the key to the whole process)type in the (Custom pass key,or the security key,or the Default encrytion key, it can be named any of the above). This password is NOT your home network password that you sign in with, it is not AMIN or 1234 or any crazy number that someone else came up with, it is not the wep key. The Password is,in my case a numeric number that I used to set up my router with my computer on the home network. Mine happens to be a 10 number security key. You can find it on the bottom of the 2wire router box (5378837763). Good luck, I hope this helps at least one person out there.
well everyday i would use a router and now all of a sudden i get all 3 bars and then when i try to connect to the internet it says it "has no network connectivity" and whenever i try i different router it does the same thing......ohh and another thing its not my router and idont know who owns the router.....anyone have any advice?????

hello, i recently gotten an itouch. i connected it to the wireless connection at home. however, when i opened safari, the only website i can manage to access is msn homepage, mobile msn, yahoo homepage and my internet service provider page. i am unable to do any searches on the homepages too.
thanks (:
Helloooo :)
so people who are having problems with the wifi password!!
solution.. put in "guest" and it should let cha in
i had the same problem. I was on wifi but i couldn't access the internet. Try changing your DNS in the wifi settings (by hitting the blue arrow next to the network name). You could either clear the DNS field or add another DNS, like Open DNS (208.67.220.220 or 208.67.222.222). it worked
Hi - I just bought my new itouch last week and i'm curious to know, 'do you have to have a wireless router to access wi-fi on the touch?'
Thanks again - please reply soon!

Just trying to connect my iPod touch to my wireless router. I am getting a strong signal, and other devices in the house connect automatically, without manual configuration. When I go to settings DHCP is selcted, there is an IP address and subnet mask. Other fields are blank. Should I edit any of these fields? Should I configure my modem, or router? Or...?
I have a new ipod touch and can access internet on any open networks. I cannot access internet at home. Having same "password" problems as everyone else. I had cable people out to house, spent an hour on phone with router people, have reset everything (modem, router, itouch) multiple times, changed passwords over and over. I finally called Apple and they couldn't get it to work either- said it might be a compatibility problem with new itunes version and my router. Suggested I take my itouch to local Apple store. I asked if they had multiple complaints about this and said no, not really. Obviously, they haven't seen this blog! Help if you can!

I have an ipod touch 8gb 2nd generation. I just recently got wifi set up in my house, and my ipod touch will not connect to it. I put in the correct password and it says it is unable to connect. My ipod touch wifi connects works when I am at my job and all wifi hot spots. I restored it to its regular settings and it still does not work at home on my wifi connection. It should. Why isn't it?
Okay, So I got my ipod touch Yesterday, I started using it registered ect. Got some music, I went to go and Use my wireless d-link to go to the apps store, It was all good The Ipod found the network and went to connect. Put in the Wpa key. then I got the Unable to Join network "Network Name", I tried to put in the Ip, Subnet, router ect. but It still wont work, my Ipod is up to date and the router is up to date aswell please help.
I've had my iTouch since May and love it! I just upgraded the OS and (maybe coincidentally) my wi-fi is acting funny. I can connect to the home network when standing in the same room as the router but as soon as I leave the room the connection drops.
>My wife's iTouch (same OS version) doesn't have wifi problems and updated the OS.
>no recent changes to the router or the router's location
Any ideas?

hey i got my iTOuch yesterday and i have wifi in my house i know i do but i dont know the password how would i figure that out...i have a gateway computer
I believe I have found the solution to the problems surrounding wifi problems, I was having the same issues with mine. It would not connect to the internet even though It was connected to the modem. The process is very simple
1. Go into settings
2. go to wifi
3. click on the little arrow next to the network your having problems with
4. Click on forget this network
5. Go back to select wireless networks
6. Click on the network your having problems with
7. enter your WPA or WEP key (its the network key you use to connect to the modem
8. It should connect to the wifi and the internet
I hope this helps some people

I have the same problem right now. Ok guys, did you update or restore you itouch? Because I did and ever since then, I can't connect to wi-fi at all. When I go choose a network and punch in my password, it always says "Blah blah blah unable to connect to network" Even when I'm at home and I'm close to my router it doesn't work. Screw that update!

hi, my wifi connection is good.
but whenever i tried to connect to facebook, apps store or even cine apps, i couldn't connect them.
May i know what is the problem here?
For anyone using a router in their home and experiencing a connecting issue.Like the browser,apps,etc not working.Turn off MAC filtering on your router and try to connect after that. This fixed my problem. Good Luck!!
We have a weird problem - ipod touch was connecting fine to the home wifi with WEP key - then one day it stopped working and won't reconnect.
The annoying thing is that when it is switched on and in range of the wifi - every other device on the network loses connection to the wifi. It looks like nothing can resolve any DNS at all.
Switch the ipod touch off again and all the other devices start working again immediately! Seems that it is trying to connect and taking everything out with it as it tries
Any ideas?
