Ok, I just got  a new iTouch and I'm trying to connect to WiFi so I can download my Kindle books from Amazon. I have the App downloaded to the itouch but I cannot get it to connect to the WiFi. The WiFi switch is ON, it sees networks so I touch one, type in my Amazon acct. info. and then it tells me there is no connection.  What am I missing  I was at a hotel on Friday night and was trying to use their free WiFi but it kept telling me it was not connected. Do I have to "join" a network the first time I use it?  Please help. I am quickly getting very frustrated trying to connect. I have read the directions in the manual and don't know what I'm missing, unless it has to do with "joining" the network. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but hubby deals with all of the computer stuff so I'm not up on how all of that kind of stuff works.

Yes, you need to join a network prior to wi-fi working... When the wi-fi is active, you will see a little wi-fi symbol at the top left of the screen, next to the word iPod. The symbol is blue if you have a good connection, and is lighter if you have a bad connection, similar to a cell phone symbol.

Again, if the wi-fi is password protected, you will need to enter the password before it will work.

Have you asked your husband to have a look?

Thanks again. That's probably the issue I was having. Hubby's been gone, then I left for a couple days and life was crazy for a bit before leaving. I probably shouldn't have even tried anything until I had more time to deal with it, but was hoping it would be easy enough. Hopefully I'm up and running soon.
