Stored Wi-Fi Passwords

[crooklynbanger]

Is there anyway to find WI-fi passwords stored on a ipod touch, because I have an ipod touch that was bought off of someone and I want to get a new1 i know u can backup/restore but only prob is that it was synced 2 a different computer not mine so I just want to copy n paste the wi-fi passwords in2 the new ipod's wi-fi directory

you can back it up in itunes without syncing
try that, then restore the new one from backup

Your post makes no sense. Each sentence is unrelated to the prior.

After a restore you have to reenter the passwords

A firmare restore and a restore from backup are two different things.
The former is a factory wipe, the latter restores info such as app settings, wifi passwords, contacts, pictures, text messages and call history on iPhone, calendars, and other similar stuff.
Shift click the restore from backup to select the backup file of another device

After a restore you have to reenter the passwords

Funny, my new iPhone autoconnected to the house once I restored it from the old ones backup.

Ah I see. I always set up as new. I have a better experience that way.

not me, ive had the same "phone" for 4 different handsets lol
i find that using aptbackup to get all my packages back is too easy

Until something goes wrong and you get battery drain or crashes all the time from left over code.

Always recommended to do a setup as new than do a restore from backup.

Agreed. I always have a flawless jailbreak after setting up as new. I always reenter my wifi password shortly after.

how would that happen?

When you jailbreak it leaves pieces of code that can carry over in the backups. When a new jailbreak is out it uses a different code so then they may end up conflicting with each other. Or apps/mods from Cydia do the same thing.

Even the same software can be different on what the exploit contains.
