Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
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 make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My iPod Touch will no longer connect to the wifi?
I have a 4g iPod Touch with IOS6.0.1. My iPod was connected to my wifi and working fine two days ago. I went to get on about 7PM yesterday, but there was no connection. I have tried shutting the wifi on and off, airplane mode on and off, reseting the network connections, have made sure I put the password in correctly each time, powered off the iPod, restarted it, and even rebooted it back to factory settings. Nothing has worked. I did get connection finally about an hour ago, but it lasted three minutes and then disconnected again. I know it's not the router because all my other devices that use wifi are working just fine. Does anybody have any other clue as to what to do?

my ipod touch will no longer connect to my laptop because my ipod is not up to date, but it won't find a newer software. what should I do?
the computer is a macbook pro, mac os x 10.6.08 and the ipod touch is ios 6.0.
the problem is that just updated the itunes on the computer and now the ipod won't connect because apparently the itunes on the ipod is not up to date but the iod is telling me that is is up to date, so i can't do a software update. -
Lost iPod Touch: Will it auto-connect to open wifi?
My daughter received a brand new iPod Touch for Christmas. Not a week later and she lost it at a friend's house.
Fortunately, I had set it up to work with my iCloud subscription and enabled the "Track My iPhone" feature. But of course it is not connected to my daughter's friend's WiFi.
So I was thinking that I could ask that they temporarily open up their wifi network (i.e., not require a password) in hopes that the iPod Touch will automatically scan and connect to the open access point. If it does, then I should be able to both locate it on a map and also trigger it to play a high-volume sound, all through iCloud.
Question is:
Assuming the iPod Touch's battery is not already drained....does the iPod Touch automatically/consistently scan for open wifi networks and, if it senses one, does it automatically connect? Or is it like a laptop, where you have to manually connect?
Thanks in advance for any help with this!It depends upon what setting you have on the iPod. The following os from the User Guide (sorry about the formatting):
Set iPod touch to ask if you want
to join a new network
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn “Ask to Join Networks” on or off.
If “Ask to Join Networks” is turned off, you must manually join a network to
connect to the Internet when a previously used network isn’t available. -
My 3rd generation iPod Touch will no longer connect with iTunes
It started when I get a new iMac. I've gone through the steps apple.com/support suggested but with no avail. I updated to the newest iTunes and everything, but it still does not connect. Does anyone have any idea how to fix it? Thanks.
- So you tried everything here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
including the Additional Information paragraoh?
- Tried another cable
- Tried another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem. -
My iPod Touch will no longer charge from a wall socket, only my computer. HELP!
My 4th generation iPod Touch will no longer charge from a wall socket, only my computer. I tried buying a new cable and USB charging socket (and I bought one made by Apple), but that did not fix the problem. I restored it from iTunes, hoping that would work as well, but that failed. I am at my wit's end. Can anybody here help me? I've bought new equipment, tried rebooting, restoring, etc. but nothing so far has proven successful. If anyone's got a solution, please help!
Thanks!
Signed, a very frustrated iPod user in Ohio!

My ipod touch (4th) suddenly wont connect to my wifi. It connected fine before and all of my other electronics (tablets, computers, laptops, gaming systems, etc.) are connected and working completely fine. I tried turning the wifi setting on my ipod on/off as well as the actual ipod itself. I also tried resetting the network settings but neither of these options worked. Any suggestions on what I should do?

I bought a new ipod touch today and it connects to my wifi automatically... But I forgot my wifi password for my new iPod touch and I don't know how to find it in my old iPod?
You can usually find the wi-fi password on your router itself if you know the router's ID and password (not the wi-fi password). You can log into your router by putting its address (usually 192.168.1.1) into your browser's address window.

HELP!! Ipod touch will not charge or turn on
My ipod touch will not charge or turn on. I think the battery went dead, but now it won't even turn on or charge. My computer does not even recognize that it is plugged in. I have tried to charge it on other devices and get the same result. Can anyone help?
TRY GEORGE GUERRERO'S ANSWER FIRST.
Plug it into the computer for about 15 minutes.
If it starts to turn on after about 15 minutes then unplug it.
As it is turning on hold down BOTH THE POWER AND THE HOME BUTTON on the itouch for 15 seconds, or until it flashes white or just turns back off.
Then RELESE THE POWER BUTTON BUT STILL HOLD DOWN THE HOME BUTTON.
Then plug it back in.
The computer should reconise your ipod. -
My ipod touch will not play music in my Bowers and Wilkins mini zeppelin nor my Logitech. Yet, it plays in my car. The music can be heard playing in the ipod itself. It is only 2 years old. Should I repair or just buy another? Thanks!

- Reset. Nothing is lost
