IPod Touch 3.1.3 Update & Wifi
Hello All,
Since I updated my iPod Touch to OS 3.1.3 a day or two ago, I've had a really hard time reliably connecting to several different wifi hotspots. It seems to me that I can reliably connect to a hotspot once and only after a hard reboot of the iPod. If I lock/sleep the iPod, it will not be able to connect to the hotspot again. I either get a spinning gear in the Settings with a message that the iPod is unable to connect to the network or the iPod just doesn't find any wifi networks. I know there are networks where I am because I'm using them with my laptop. I administer most of these networks and they all have different hardware and configurations. Furthermore, the iPods has very reliably worked with these wifi networks in the past. Any ideas?
I am kind of in the same boat, after updating to 3.1.3 a few days ago I am unable to connect to my home wireless network. I can see it but it just says "Unable to join "home" network. I did not have this issue while I was on 3.1.2. I have done all the necessary reset network settings, reset the router, etc.
Also my battery life drains so much faster while on 3.1.3 then when I was on 3.1.2.
Does anyone know the cause of both these issues? Will apple release a fix for them soon? Is there a way just to go back to 3.1.2?
Thanks

My iPod touch can't find any wifi?
My iPod touch can't find any wifi at all. I've restored it reset everything and it still can't find the wifi even when I had it right next to the router. Any help please? I got this ipod from my brother a few days ago and apparently the wifi worked fine until he updated it to the 3.1 update or something like that so he gave it to me. I want to be able to connect to the wifi in my house and it just won't. Any help please????
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 the 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 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

A 1G can only go to 3.1.3
A 3G only to 5.1.1

My Ipod touch was in an update and froze. It shows a blank screen and sometimes shows an apple. Now it will not restore. What do I do?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -

I have the 1st generation ipod touch i installed an update which now it is 3.1.3 version i was able to put my apps on it but when i want to use the apps it will not let me use them. What do i need to do?
Does it happen with the apps that came with the iPod?
Does it happen with all apps you have downloaded/installed?
Have you ried deleting the apps and redownload/install the apps? You will not be charged again if you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.
Next would be to restore from backup
Last would be to restore to factory defaults/new iPod. -

I got my screen fixed and the day i got my ipod touch 4th gen back the wifi doesnt work unless i hold it right up to my router. Roughly every foot I move back it loses a bar and if i leave the room it doesn't even have a signal completely. Could the screen replacement have tampered with the wifi capability? Also if it helps I switched internet providers and during the time when my ipod was being fixed a new router was installed and it doesnt seem to work unless directly infront of my ipod.
Take it back to where you had the screen replaced. They messed up the connection to the wifi antenna

My WiFi is not working on my ipod touch third gen. The wifi option in setting is blanked out so i am unabole to select it. I have tried restored it and resetting network connections. Also the battery life is very low. How do i fix this????????????
If a restore did not fix it, you have a hardware issue--possible bad wi-fi radio.

Why has my iPod Touch stopped connecting to my WiFi?
Why has my iPod Touch stopped connecting to my WiFi?
It's been fine for the past 2 years but today, it's stopped. It was working this morning...
According to settings it has connected but I cannot access anything online and the internet icon is missing.
WiFi is working on my phone & laptop so it doesn't appear to be a problem with the router. Also I've just synced my iPod with iTunes, reset and restarted - still no luck.
Any suggstions?
ThanksDid you already try to reset the network settings in Settings/General/Reset?

IPod Touch stopped connecting to Internet (WiFi)
Just unbelieveable-- I've been using my iPod Touch with a variety of WiFi connections the past 3 months, but really wanted WiFi at my home. So yesterday I got a D-Link DIR-635 Router acting as a bridge Router (connected to my older DI-604 Router) and all was super. This worked yesterday and this morning as well. In fact, it seemed even faster this morning-- well worked great in any case.
THEN NO MORE WiFi: But this afternoon, although the iPod Touch sees and "connects" to the router, it goes looking for the weather data, or stock data, or YouTube videos or eMail-- nothing.
YET my PowerBook and MacBook find and make the wireless connection just fine and connect to the internet perfectly--
I've tried changing some settings in the WiFi settings on the iPod Touch-- nothing.
Strange strange strange...
Why would the PBG4 and MacBook work with this and not the iPod Touch-- especially when it worked up until 6 hours ago???
Any and all comments appreciated. I can give the DNS and router and IP Address info or whatever is needed. If the Macs didn't work, I'd say this was a new router problem-- but they work fine!
Steve
Sunday 23 March 2008You know I've got a cordless phone RIGHT NEXT to this router-- and the iTouch is back working again, but I am going to RELOCATE that cordless phone.
I've read a bunch of other comments similar to my post-- changed the DNS to 208.67.222.222 (it didn't work right away after that change, but within 30 minutes...)
So I'm going to follow this and thanks very much for your feedback and please don't hesitate to send further ideas!
Working for 30 minutes now-- hope it continues; and looking into relocating that phone!
