  • Ipod touch WiFi problems to be fixed in 3.0 Firmware?

    Basically, I bought my ipod touch brand new about a month ago (2G, 2.2.1 firmware). Ever since I opened it (approx. 2 weeks ago) the WiFi has been pretty sketchy. I get an error "server stopped responding" a lot (maybe like 2-8 mins of browsing) on safari as well as apps.
    I took my problem to the apple store and the guy basically did a diagnostic and said nothing was wrong, but my apps were crashing a lot. He did a complete wiping of the hard drive (back to factory with all of my apps gone and stuff) and basically It still doesn't work right.
    So, Should I go back to the apple store? Or, Are these problems planned on being fixed in the 3.0 Firmware? If you have any other solutions please let me know

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    3.0 is supposed to have some WiFi fixes - I'll let you know in a week or so. However, your problem with WiFi is most likely a router or DNS problem. The router part is easy - just reboot it by unplugging it and then plug it back in. DNS problems are an ISP issue and if that is what is going on, you should notice the same type of lag with your MacBook.
    Fixing DNS problems are reasonably easy. Check out OpenDNS.com which will provide you with both instructions and an alternate to your ISP's service.
    App problems can be caused by many things, including the app itself. What the Genius did for you at the Apple store was to restore you iPod to new. You can download your apps again without having to pay for them.

  • Ipod touch Wifi problem... Please Help :(

    Hi. Ive just recently started having trouble with my ipod touch. I cant stand more then 10 yrds away witout it detecting my wifi. All my other devices work fine. Ive tried reseting my ipods and making it back to its normal form and resetting the network and still no result. Ive also turned it off for a few mins and still no results . I recently did though get a little crack on my ipod touch maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago on the top left part of the screen I dont know if that has anything to do with it or what... Idk what I can do. Could someone give me some advice. Should I go to an apple store today? How much might it cost to get this fixed?

    Here is Apple's price list. I suspect a hardware problem and it may be related to what caused the cracked screen.

    You may find that a third-party place like the following is less expensive:

  • Ipod Touch-WIFI Problems-Can't Connect More than One at Same time

    I'm not an Ipod Touch user yet, but three family members are. Unfortunately, only one will connect to the Internet on our home wifi at a time. Each one works just fine on its own and will make the connection, but if one is already turned on it blocks the others. I have a laptop and it connects fine regardless of the Ipod Touch issues. I'm using a Linksys router if that matters. Looked everywhere but can't find someone experiencing similar issues. Thanks for any ideas/thoughts/help!

    Take a look at your router's settings for DHCP. Normally there is range associated for the allocation of IP addresses for wireless devices. For example, you would set DHCP to on, IP address range from 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.128. The normal defaults on the router should have given you an adequate range of address but you may have inadvertently changed something.

  • New Ipod Touch, WiFi problem.

    I just got my Ipod yesterday brought it home hooked up connected to my WiFi fine. Now today I keep getting "Unable To Join Network" message. I've checked a few sites to see what to do and am still getting the same error.
    Any help would be great as I have no idea what to do.

    But when I go back to home screen it says I'm connected to WiFi but browsers or nothing work still.
    That indicator only means your touch can connect to the router - not that the router has connected your touch to the Internet.
    Go to: Settings>Wi-Fi then touch the blue triangle to the right of the router you are connected to. What IP Address is shown? (If it starts with 169.xxx, the address is self assigned and the router hasn't connected to to the Internet.)

  • 3rd Gen Ipod Touch WiFi problems

    my brother has a 1st gen ipod and its wifi is working fine downstairs in our house, my new 3rd gen will not recieve a signal in the exact same place, any ideas?

    See:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    It is frequently a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    I would also try placing the iPod in a bag of uncooked rice for a couple of days to ensure the iPod is dry.

  • Ipod touch wifi not as good as before

    my ipod touch wifi cant get the internet from across the hallway, but it used to get it from a block away. I tryed all of the things on YouTube, but none of them worked. Please Help!

    Did you try:
    resetting the iPod?
    Resetting network setting?
    Restoring the iPod from backup?
    Restoring the iPod to factory defaults?
    Saying that you did what was specified on an undefined YouTube vidoe provides us with no information on what you did,

  • Ipod touch wifi range

    why is my ipod touch wifi range reduced after upgrading to ios 5.0

    I noticed the same thing with my iPod Touch 4gen. when I updated to ios 4.3.1. I just installed 4.3.2, and its too early to tell. I made a change on my router which seemed to improve connection reliability, but not every router has this setting. The setting is "Interference Mitigation" which was set to Auto. I was told that changing it to None can improve connection reliability. Sounds counter-intuitive, but it seemed to help.

  • Ipod Touch-Wifi and Registry problems

    I just got my Ipod touch a few days ago, and every time I try to go on the internet, I select my network, enter the password, and it says "unable to connect." Also, whenever I hook up my ipod to itunes, it asks me to register the ipod, even though I've done it already.
    Are these problems related? Any advice on how to fix either?
    Thanks!

    I have a similar problem; in XP my iPod Touch SAYS unable to connect but it actually does in Bootcamp XP, however in OSX it will not. Odd thing is, I think my friend's iPod Touch did connect to my MBP in OSX. Oh, I use the MBP to share a wireless internet signal using the Sprint EX720 Expresscard, so sorry if my story seemed confusing. I will get together with my friend later this evening to check this out and determine if there is a defect in my iPod, if hers works. Otherwise at other Wifi hotspots I usually get on without problems.

    Then:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: 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.

  • PLEASE HELP!!! Ipod Touch Wifi connection problem

    My 1gen Ipod touch has to be directly ontop of my router to even detect/connect to the internet. I have tried all the obvious fixes- Restore, hard restore, resetting the network settings, pretty much everything. If I walk 5 feet away from any router (tried multiple) it drops signal. I cannot find ANY help, and have been searching the web for 2 days litterally. ANY help or suggestions would be much appriciated!!!! Thanks in advance!

    I know you said you tried everything, so forgive me if you've already done these things too. I'm just trying to brainstorm with you.
    Go to "Settings - WiFi" and tap the blue arrow on the right of your WiFi name and choose forget this network.
    Then go to "Settings - General - Reset" and do a "Reset Network".
    Power your router off and then on.
    Have you tried changing the channel your wifi broadcasts on? Perhaps there's a conflict with some other wireless devices such as phones.
    Also be sure you have the latest firmware for your router.
    Can other wireless devices connect to this router? Can your ipod connect in a Starbucks or some other wifi place?
    Hope this helps. Good luck.

  • IPod Touch - WiFi - SSID Broadcast Works/SSID No Broadcast Doesn't Work

    This is maddening in so many different ways:
    I have two (2) 2nd Generation iPod Touch 8Gb products. Both are nearly identical in every way -- how they connect, OS, Library, similar Apps (but not the same all the time), etc.
    iPod Touch "A" works flawlessly. No issues, no problems, no complaints
    iPod Touch "B" started behaving badly by first loosing my WPA security but recognizing my home network. Strong password creation was a hassle but I got cleaver. Over time, it got worse to the point that it would not even recognize the existence of my 802.11g home network.
    CAVEATS 1) We live in a rural area and on my property, not another network can be found. 2) Plenty of 2.4 Ghz stuff around including other wireless computers but... 3) This is my profession and I am flummoxed but have ideas....
    FINDINGS: 1) iPod "B" works fine in the public space. All wireless networks work just fine and dandy. 2) I turn on my home network SSID BROADCAST and this iPod works fine (after being set up again). 3) Turn off SSID Broadcast and once this iPod sleeps or is turned off/on, no more network but go to any place that has a public broadcast SSID and no security and it's fine again... 4) No matter what I have and what I do, iPOD "A" works flawlessly.
    WHAT I HAVE DONE: 1) made sure that I have plenty of DHCP scope -- yup. 2) Checked my leases - when connected I see perfectly valid MACs and leases without incident. 3) Check for overlapping or conflicts in IP Address allocation and MAC addresses (you never know...) - no problems there. 4) Quadruple checked "A" vs. "B" settings -- identical. 5) Dumped the entire flash and OS and started with a clean slate -- same issues with no apps, music, photos, movies -- nada... just a raw iPod like it came out of the box... same problem 6) Asked Apple to replace it as it's under warranty -- done. 7) Started testing again as a clean slate and found that it worked... replacing the iPod did the trick...
    So, I "RESTORE" the iPOD to garner all the hard work that was put into it -- contacts, settings, etc. I "SYNCH" the iPOD to recover my angel's precious photos, apps, movies, music.... I return it back to it's originally desired state EXCEPT that one must completely reconfigure things like networking by hand -- OK.
    It's back to normal, as desired, in the configuration we want and it WORKS!!!! Albeit... only for a day... and now we are back to where we started -- again...
    iPod "A" works flawlessly and the new "B" is back to it's same old tricks --
    OK - What does a restore do anyway? Is there some small pile of firmware that writes over the fresh load from OS? In order to preserve my contacts and other things a restore supports, did I uncover the super secret bug that Apple will refuse to acknowledge? Can I still say that I hate iTunes without being flamed a thousand deaths? Is there a diagnostic easter egg I can try?
    And before I started this soliloquy -- I watched my functioning iPod "B" go to sleep with a working home network... only to wake her from her slumber... tuned out - with Not Connected living in her Wi-Fi field.... <sigh - simply maddening>
    The only thing that sets these two apart are the nuances associated with configs that are part of the user's own personal interface desires and resident app input (contacts, calendar, etc...).

    First off -- thank you all for replying and providing your insight, stories, and findings with your own iPod Touch, MAC, and iPhone WiFi fun...
    You are all wonderful contributors.
    Just to be clear, as others have mentioned -- this is not a feature and we should not have to tolerate it. This iPod, like the other one and yours too, once worked flawlessly and then continued to degrade to a point of not functioning according the 802.11g ieee standard. Something that has been in development for over 10 years and has been an adopted standard in consumer electronics for more than 7 years -- an eternity in this industry.
    To be clear, I performed TWO ultimate resets -- completely wiping the firmware and OS of the original hardware and tested a completely wiped iPod Touch to no avail and the second "reset" was a brand new replacement -- right out of the box -- under warranty. No network resets necessary. The new iPod worked as expected without any original data loaded. Once a backup was "restored," and the iPod was synch'd with the library of choice, then the troubles started again. The networking does not restore -- you have to build a secure network from scratch. And again, the "A" iPod exhibits none of this odd behavior.
    It is a testament that Apple has a problem in code when other iPods running similar OS behave the same. The reason that I mention the geeky standard above is because we should not have to broadcast our SSID for this to work -- it's an open standard, not something proprietary. We should not have to conform to "work around" solutions. And, yes, NOT broadcasting SSID is part of the entire package of sound security. I have to strongly disagree with all the nay-sayers. You don't go walking around the streets with money hanging out of your pockets or your wallet sticking out of your shirt pocket for a reason -- but I bet that you have cash on you and I can find it pretty quickly. It's why purse snatching is a crime of violence and rampant in larger cities and pick-pockets use finesse. One is easy pickings for anyone to try and the other requires tools and skills. If you don't flaunt it, the low level threat is removed.
    As for strong security, the option for WEP is not an option. I use multiple levels of acceptable stronger encryption, logging, limited DHCP scopes, MAC controls at times, stateful firewall controls, and other radio tricks of the trade. My only failings is having to pander to the lowest common denominator within my home network.
    Anyway, I spent a bit more time surfing and find this problem ubiquitous in 2.2.1 and forward. Something is amiss at Apple. All my Window based products work just fine (as does my Wii).
    Keep those cards and letters coming folks.

  • 1st gen iPod touch wifi connection issue, grayed out wifi area in settings

    I have a first generation iPod touch and I'm having difficulty connectiong to wifi.  It tells me there is "no wifi" and the wifi area in settings is grayed out.  I have never encountered this problem in the seven months I've owned this device.  My wifi is currently being used by the other three devices that normally share it with my iPod, and they're running just fine as usual.  I've already tried restoring my iPod, as well as updating my iTunes to the newest possible software, then restarting the computer.  I've looked through all of Apple's troubleshooting guides, to no avail.  Any tips from people who've had the same issue or actually understand technology?  All help is greatly appreciated!

  • IPod Touch WIFI Signal Fluctuates After Upgrading to iOS4

    I upgrade to iOS4, and now my iPod Touch 3rd gen's WIFI signal fluctuates now matter how close I am to my Airport. I can be right next to the Airport and the signal will go back and forth from one bar to three bars. Never happened with OS 3.1.3.

    For those having Wi-Fi issues... What level of encryption are you using on your routers? And is your router at full power? I'm not really having any Wi-Fi issues, I'm using WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] and I switch my router to full power after I started having the iOS4 batter problem. (it was on "Neighbor Friendly" Mode). I was worried that a weaker signal would contribute even more to the already existing battery drain and I'm figuring that having the encryption on the highest level is also affecting the battery as well, but I haven't tested the difference.
    Using WEP + hidden SSID at home (I have some devices that choke on WPA). Open WiFi access with authentication at work. Router signal boosted from 42mW to 70mW using Tomato firmware.
    Also, if you're using a Pre-N router, disabling "Neighbor Friendly" mode means you're using a ton of 2.4GHz channels. This prevents any neighbors near your home from using WiFi, because you've stolen all of the available channels. I had to set up my sister-in-law on Wireless-A, because her backyard neighbor hates her, and turned off "Neighbor Friendly" mode on his router. What a pain.
