Solve I-Touch Wi-Fi Problems on 1st Gen iTouch

When I press the safari or youtube buttons on the bottom of my 1st generation itouch, it loads and then comes up with an error message saying, The operation could not be completed and it says 'invalid argument'. Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

Are you connected to a wi-fi network? Go to settings, then click on Wireless. If you have connected to a wi-fi network, make sure Internet works on it by maybe testing it out on a computer first.

I found this thread at the Apple discussion forums when I googled for the phrase The operation could not be completed and it says 'invalid argument':

I would recommend the following steps to troubleshoot and potentially solve the Wi-Fi problems on a 1st generation iTouch:

1. Check the Wi-Fi connection: Make sure the iTouch is connected to a stable and strong Wi-Fi network. If the connection is weak or unstable, it could cause issues with loading webpages and videos.

2. Restart the iTouch: Sometimes, simply restarting the device can resolve software glitches and connectivity issues. Press and hold the power button until the "slide to power off" option appears, then slide to turn off the iTouch. Wait a few seconds, then press and hold the power button again to turn it back on.

3. Update the software: Make sure the iTouch has the latest software update installed. This can often fix bugs and improve overall performance.

4. Clear Safari and YouTube cache: The error message may be due to a corrupted cache on the Safari or YouTube app. To clear the cache, go to Settings > Safari (or YouTube) > Clear History and Website Data.

5. Reset network settings: Sometimes, resetting the network settings can fix Wi-Fi connectivity problems. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Keep in mind that this will erase all saved Wi-Fi networks and passwords, so make sure to have them handy.

6. Restore the iTouch: If none of the above steps work, you may need to restore the iTouch to its factory settings. This will erase all data and settings, so make sure to back up any important information before proceeding.

If the issue persists after trying these steps, it may be a hardware problem and the iTouch may need to be taken to a professional for further diagnosis and repair.
