Ipod not detecting any networks except mine
When I first purchased my iPod Touch, it would consistently detect a list of approximately 10 wireless networks (when I was sitting in my living room). My laptop detected the same 10 wireless networks. About a month ago, my iPod stopped detecting any of these other networks. It would still detect my own wireless network, but only if I was in the same room as the router. And even though it would detect my network, it would rarely connect to it. I took my unit back to the store, and the store sent it out for "repairs". I received a refurbished unit.
The refurbished unit seems to connect to my network a little more frequently, and seems to detect it from a little further away (like upstairs) but it still doesn't detect any of the multiple networks that are in my area.
It also doesn't detect any networks when I take it downtown to the office district (and when I first purchased my iPod, it would detect like 40 networks when I was downtown).
What's the deal? And how do I fix this?
I have the same problem.

Windows did not detect any networking hardware, Windows 7, New Hard Drive
Message "Windows did not detect any networking hardware"
Satellite P505 S8980 Windows 7 Home Premium.
I replaced the Toshiba 500 GB HD with 500 GB Seagate.
Device Manager icon for any device with yellow exclamation mark,
Click on "Update Driver". Lan eNet details as follows:
Antheo - R8132 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20)
Browse to the folder where the setup program has the driver...
Message: "The best driver software is already installed."
(But the yellow exclamation mark still harasses me.)
--- Go to "Setup new connection" ---
"Choose a connection option"
Click on "Connect to the Internet"
Response: "Windows did not detect networking hardware"
As near as I can tell, that translates from error 0x8E5E0247
I have this same error on other yellow exclamation marks respective of what kind of device it is.
=> To test my sanity, I put the old hard drive (same size) back in and except for the impact of slowness due to error retries, everything works okay.
Note:
Same issue (hardware not detected) for Video adapter and Audio.
I bought new USB Wireless adapter to test, and the driver installed but not activated because "not digitally signed", and that same issue fits all the above hardware. I down loaded them from Toshiba, and they are confirmed installed, but not accepted with digitally signed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled with same results.
Solved!
Go to Solution.I'm discovering I am not as well as I thought... running on the AF hard drive which was built with a copy drive from old format drive which was the product of system recovery disc set.
Review for context: Advanced Function HDD
Scenario that exposes harm caused by cloning data from 4K blocks drive to 512 bytes blocked drive (AF)
Toshiba supplied Windows-7 System Restore Discs: to factory state
Then I built the Windows-7 Repair Disc... used later.
Hard drive was replaced when it caused SMART warning at every system boot.
Acronis was only utility that quickly detected problem (3 sectors had permanent read errors.) Active@Disk Image and Power Quest Drive Image (Ghost) did not detect the issue.
I tried Seagate 500 GB and Western digital 500 GB HDD drives as copy target.
That new drive would not boot: "Required source not found"
Booted My newly created Windows-7 repair disc, and used to to fix startup.
See images.
That worked and then the ST9500423AS disc booted.
Now... next day I discovered Window Update is not working.
I get message:
Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You need to restart your computer.
I ran Microsoft Fixit for updates. It says it fixed two items.
I still have the problem.
The service shows "started"
Control Panel/ ACTION Center/ Maintenance/ Check for Updates
"No action needed"
"Windows Update does not require any action"
I checked Update History...
... It is empty, else window is vacant... blank.
Soooo..... for a sanity check, I swap out hard drive; go back to the old format (which is the one I copied).
It works! 7 updates to install, including SP1... but I did NOT install them.
Switch back to the AF drive... Update doesn't work. I am broke again.
Is this another strange problem caused by the Advance Format issue?
What to do?
By the way... I did install an Intel storage Matrix driver update, but I do not have RAID chip, so that driver is not for me... unless I missed out on something.

Hello everyone,
I just updated my 3GS from iOS 5.0.0 to 5.0.1
Since the update, Itunes says that no SIM card is detected, and the iPhone says that it cannot be activated. It also obviously does not detect any network.
I tried restarting the phone several times, removing the SIM card several times, but it did not change anything, the SIM is still not detected.You do not need to keep posting the same thing over and over again.
Look to the right side of this page at "more Like this" or do a forum search. -

How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
I understand that Windows it not detecting any network hardware.
If you check Device Manager is it recognized?
If the card is listed is there an error on it?
If not and you are out of warranty you could try reseating the network card.
Here is a link HP Notebook PCs - Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7, Vista) to that may also help.

No WiFi icon and not detecting any networks on new ipad 2
Hi
I have a new ipad 2 16G wifi.
I went through all the setup but have been unable to connect to any networks.
I have updated software
I have restored
I have turned router on / off
I have made router public
I have tried to specify the network
I have reset
I have turned WiFi on i pad on / off
All i get is the the little grey spinning wheel.
Iphone 4, all other wireless devices etc work fine on this network.
Any suggestions? i can see that the wireless icon has disappeared for some people when updating software, but i have never had the wifi icon on, despite it saying that wifi is switched on!
I am starting to think that there may actually just be a fault with the ipad itself....There is no network to forget.
When i try and choose other and mannually input details when i select join it says "Could not scan for wireless networks" -
Airport not detecting any Networks
I was working fine yesterday with my macbook late 2008 aluminum unibody. Then I left the laptop for a while to have some lunch. When I went back to my mac it hanged so I forced quit some applications then did a hard shutdown. After which my Airport cannot find any network. I did a hardware test... all is okay (does this also test the airport card?). I also tried to manually input the SSID and the WEP Password (13 Characters) where I get an error of Connection timed out.
Can anybody help me?Open /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities
Once in Disk Utilities select your drive in the left window. Then from the right window select First Aid (First Aid will be selected by default).

Windows did not detect any networking hardware
We have an HP Pavilion desktop, model # a6610t, using Vista OS. We have been connected to the internet wirelessly for almost 1 year and now all of the sudden it cannot find any wireless networks. We are able to successfully connect wirelessly to the Internet on other laptops and I can connect to the internet on the desktop with a cable so I know it is not the modem or router. I have also unplugged both the modem and routers - still no success.
We ran a virus scan and no treats were identified. The only thing different that we see is that we got updated to Internet Explorer 8.
Any suggestions??
This question was solved.
View Solution.Please try to reinstall the networking drivers from recovery manager and also please inform the status of the wireless button .Does it stay orange or does it turn blue.

X31: not detecting any wireless network
My IBM thinkpad is not detecting any network when my wireless router is on. I have checked the windows zero configration and it shows that it has started. The radio signal is also lighted and shown at the centre of the display bottom. My thinkpad is using the cisco pci wireless lan adapter and I have also check the driver, it show working. When I use a USB wireless adapter it can detect my router and connect.
Why cant my internal wireless adapter detect my router when the radio signal is on , windows zero configration started and the pci wireless card enable already.
Thanks,
alvintry to run the PC-Doctor diagnostic on the laptop wireless card.

Mac Mini Airport Extreme - Cannot Detect Any Networks
Hello,
Last week my Mac Mini (Power PC)'s hard disk crashed. So I did a DIY replacement. I managed to re-install all the software, and installed all the latest updates.
However, for some reason, the Airport Extreme is not detecting any wireless network after the re-install.
My own wireless network router is a third-party, which has been working well for the last 2 years. My Window PC and laptop still connects to it fine.
I can see the Airport icon but it doesn't how any detected networks (and there are quite a few in my neighbourhood). I did Apple Hardware Test and it shows the Airport card to be working ok.
Any help would be wonderful!
Regards,
Leng
Mac Mini G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Sorry for the cross-post. I posted wrongly in Airport Express previously.Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I saw the thread before I posted and I'm hoping this will be solved soon.
The main thing that worries me is that in my case, the Mac Mini is not even seeing any networks - zero in an apartment block where there is at least 5 network on the air at any time

My ipod touch will not detect any wifi signals but others devices such as my laptops; do connect without a problem. I restored my ipod and updated it and still no wifi signals are being detected.
Go to your ipod touch wireless settings chose your network and right beside there is button looks like ">" click on that check the dhcp what IP are you getting? do you get any ip? if you do your ipod touch should work with wireless no problem. Also, you may have to enter wep key again. After that it shou,d save your device

My iphone 4s is no longer detecting wifi since the IOS8 updates came out. I've restarted, rest the networks, reset the phone back to factory settings, and even tried the freezer trick. It is STILL not detecting ANY wifi networks. HELP!!! I cannot afford to go over my data and I use wifi at home and work... I believe the updates have caused the issue, because it was working fine before the second update released (I hadn't put the first one one until I noticed it had stopped working, and by then the second IOS8 version had came out). They need to do a third update to fix this issue.
If it's grayed out:
Reset Network Settings - if that doesn't fix it, then Backup and Restore AS A NEW DEVICE.
If it's still grayed out, unfortunately that means your Wi-Fi antenna quit, and it needs service. -

5th generation ipod not detected by my windows xp. works fine on other pc. performed necessary steps to remove and reinstall itunes but having same issue. is there a driver i can download to pc then direct to that specific location when installing?
I have a similar issue - my iPod nano connects and is visible in Device Manager yet invisible in My Computer and iTunes. I've tried everything I can possibly think of to try and solve this myself, all in vain.
Mine is a nano 4G. I've been using it for quite some time without the slightest problem. I have been using WINAMP instead of iTunes to manage my darling nano.
Then, one fine day I bought a new computer and the nano would not show up in My Computer, though the nano display shows "Do not disconnect". On my old computer it worked (and still works) absolutely fine with win XP as well as with win7 (the later I currently use on my new/problematic computer, which I bought last summer and that's how long I've had this problem).
Of course, after several first attempts I gave up and installed iTunes. I've tried using the Apple support article "iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows":
- reset
- fully charged,
- cable works fine on two other computers
- in normal or disk mode makes no difference
- tried to find anything useful in the diagnostics mode
- reinstalled iTunes several different times since then to the latest version
- I've unplugged every other USB device except for my mouse and keyboard and tried several different USB ports on my motherboard (USB 3.0 and conventional), as well as trying different USB- related options in my BIOS.
- I've never used any Mac with this ipod
- I've tried fiddling with the win7 Services by stopping and restarting them and of course
- uninstalling the iPod drivers in Device Manager. After such an uninstall the ipod would automatically be recognised and "ready for use", i.e. being invisible in My Computer.
- Attempted to find any possible third-party conflict with msconfig or the possibility that my ipod is being confused for a network drive (for which I've disconnected my HDD, leaving only my SSD with the OS).
Sometimes, iTunes would note that iPod service (or something, can't remember exactly) failed to install properly and asked to try and repair it. I would click YES! and voila - no change! The ipod would rarely show up in iTunes on my problematic computer like this:
iTunes would warn me that the nano would need restoring so I would try and do it on my haunted machine upon which iTunes would freeze like you seen in the picture.
Despite this, I've updated and restored the nano on my father's computer to the latest version without any problems. This though, did not solve my problem in any way.
I can load music to my nano through my old computer (which for me is a real pain and hassle) and the gadget works normally in terms of its disconnected functionality.
I've taken my nano to the local service for repair and they said it was fine. Mercifully, they didn't charge for the diagnostics service (gee, thanks for not ripping me off!).
Here are two screengrabs from my Device Manager
and Devices and Printers screens on my comp:
That is my sad story as far as I can remember. It's most likely something with the drivers or something along those lines though I'm out of ideas at this point.
If you think you have any idea PLEASR HELP, I'M DESPERATE!
