Q: i have an ipod touch hardly used but for some reason i cant do anything with it

That sounds like the iPod is not connecting to your network.

iOS: Connecting to Wi-Fi

Try:

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.

Does the iOS device see the network?

Any error messages?

Do other devices now connect?

Did the iOS device connect before?

Try the following to rule out a software problem:                

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

- Power off and then back on your router

.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      

- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points

- Restore from backup. See:

iOS: How to back up

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

If it works considering update the iPod to the last update, iOS 3.1.3. for your 1G (origina) iPod touch. You need that if you want to use app on the iPod.
