My iPOd 8G no longer connects to my home wifi?!

It seems like this is a common problem. Apparently I should not have upgraded to OS4. I can not believe that my Touch is just another MP3 player... but it cost a lot more. I have reset my wifi key, reset my iPod, followed every suggestion. I am really disappointed that my Touch is worthless to me except for my music. Guess I should count myself lucky that works
I requested the phone call. I will happily pay IF they can resolve this issue. But if not, I want my money back!!!

Have you tried to restore your iPod through iTunes and to set it up as new device without restoring it from a previous backup?

  • IPod 4th Gen will no longer connect to my home wifi, what can I do?

    This problem started recently, I would arrive home, take my iPod off airplane mode (and yes, wifi did turn on) but my iPod would just not connect to my home wifi. I went to wifi>choose a network and manually selected my network but when I did, it would say "Unable to joine the network 'network name'". This problem slowly got worse: when I would wake up in the mornings or after not using my iPod for a long period of time, the same issue would occur! Usually it would take at least an hour if i was lucky of consatant retrying before, miraculously, it would connect. That was, up until yesterday though, when it would just simply not connect and display the message. I have tried almost everything I could think of: forgetting the network, restarting the iPod, restarting the modem/router (its an all in one setup), and even resetting the iPod but it just won't work, so now i'm stuck with a wiped iPod that just won't connect. One last thing, all my other wireless devices (iPad, PS3, laptop) work just fine and my iPod can connect to other networks. Please help me as I use my iPod very frequently and can't even restore to iCloud back-up.

    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

    - 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:

    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • TS1398 After updating to ios 6 my iphone 4 would no longer connect to my home wifi. At work we have a free wifi connection that does not require a password. However my wifi at home is password protected. I have the right password. It works on my ipod touc

    After updating my iphone 4 with the ios 6 update. My iphone would no longer connect to my home wifi that is password protected. I know that I have the right password entered in. At work we have a free wifi connection that does not require a password and I can connect no problem to it. My ipod touch has no problem connecting to my home wifi. It is a 3rd gen ipod and does not have the ios 6 update on it. Please help!

    I'm having the same issues. Started when I upgraded iphone 4S and ipad1 to 5.1.1. Wife's iphone 4g on 4.4.2 has been ok. I've forgot the network on both devices and restored the iphone, none of which changed the issue. I've upgraded to ios 6 on the iphone 4s, problem still persists.
         One thing that will help for a time: go to your router and change the wireless control channel. When I first did this I got full connectivity for about 48 hours... and now the problem is back. I'm now changing the wireless control channel every 12 hours, which is a pain but at least keeps me connected. I've tried a few other solutions that are out there and that has been the best one so far.
         to do this on a motorola router: type 192.168.0.1 in your address bar.
    username: admin and password:motorola if you have not changed the factory defaults.
    Click on the word "wireless" and look for the "control channel" field. This may be set to auto or to 1, try changing it to 6 or 11 (preferred) or any other channel.
    The control channel can cause static in the wireless system IF there are several networks nearby that are on the default setup.
    There is a fair bit of buzz about this issue out there, some other things I've seen:
    This is a hardware issue. Go to the store and have your wifi antenna checked, some users reporting that they get free replacement devices.
    Check against other wifi networks that require a password (this is next for me). Logon to those networks and surf until your wifi stops. If your wifi connects to the internet but stops responding, then this is a software (or hardware) issue and apple needs to step up. Some are claiming this to be the case.
    IF you connect and stay connected/on the internet on another password protected wifi, then the issue is with your router. this is where things get cute.
    Comcast may tell you to update your firmware. Motorola may tell you that your cable provider is the only one who can push through firmware updates. Comcast may tell you that you are not in an area that is being updated. It's unclear if they say that to all customers, or just those who have purchased cable modems and aren't renting them from comcast.
    Good luck, more to come if I figure out anything else, and please post any solutions you may find.

  • My iPhone5S will no longer connect to my home wifi but others do.

    My iPhone5S will no longer connect to my home wifi but others do. Mine will connect to other networks. I have rebooted the router and the phone, reset Network Settings, deleted the wifi network and reinstated it. Can anyone please help?

    Good day Telbuoy,
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPhone 5s is not connecting to your home Wi-Fi network. You've done a good job of isolating this behavior to your iPhone and home Wi-Fi router.
    There are a few more steps that I'd suggest trying next:
    Make sure your iPhone is updated to the latest iOS version using the steps in Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
    Make sure your router is using the settings in Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points.
    Update your Wi-Fi router with the latest firmware and make sure the router supports your Apple product. For more information, contact the manufacturer of your router. (from If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network)
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • Two of our ipod touches won't connect to the home wifi.  They have done before. All other apple devices connect fine.  They can see the wifi devices, appear to try to connect (the circle whirls around) but connection doesn't complete.  Ideas?

    I have 2 of them that only connected for a day and then reset network settings and they connected again for a day now resetting network settings does not fix it either. My iphone used to work with my home network but after upgrading to the latest OS which is the same versions as the ipods it no longer works either. Acts the same as the ipods. It would seem that the latest tweeks to the OS is the problem with wifi connectivity.

  • My iphone will no longer connect to my home wifi. it recognises it, but the searching cirlce is constant next to network name. there are three laptops and another iphone on the same wifi that have no issues. i have reset network settings

    my iphone will no longer connect to my home wifi. it recognises it, but the searching cirlce is constant next to network name. there are three laptops and another iphone on the same wifi that have no connectivity issues. i have reset the network settings but that did not help. the issue started last week when the second iphone was introduced to the house, could this be the cause?

    No.
    Any problem connecting your iPhone to any other wi-fi network besides your own?

  • My iPad2 no longer connects to my home wifi network but there is no problem connecting to other saved wifi networks. Currently using iOS8.0.2. with storage capacity of 12.2Gb but only 147Mb free. Disconnecting the router and rebooting the iPad worked

    My iPad2 no longer connects to my home wifi network but there is no problem connecting to other saved wifi networks. Currently using iOS8.0.2. with storage capacity of 12.2Gb but only 147Mb free. Disconnecting the router and rebooting the iPad worked briefly as a temporary fix but not anymore

    You could try this
    Temporarily disable security on your home network
    See if the iPad connects
    If it does then reset the security - with the same or different password

  • My Ipod touch won't connect to my home wifi.

    Its been a week since my ipod touch can't connect to my home wifi. When I open the wifi, it shows me other wifis around me but my own. I even try resetting network under the ipod setting. It connects to other wifi, such as my school's and starbucks. Once I go home it doesn't show or connect. My router is boardcasting the ssid. and its not blocking my ipod touch's mac address either. I tried everything! Resetting network and turning off my router and modem.

    - Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is 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.
    - Next try Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts
    and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults./new iPod

    Since you have already isolated it down to your home network, if following Steve's instructions do not fix your issue, contact your Internet Service Provider or Router Manufacturer and make sure your network is set up according to this information: iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points

  • My iPod Touch is not connecting to my home WiFi

    It shows the connection bars and displays a tick next to the name, but it will not open WiFi apps or webpages. I have had 3 iPods, and they have never been able to connect to the home WiFi, but they have connected to other networks.
    Thanks in advance,

    I think that you should check your Internet router. Some router does not allow connection to mobile device. Hope this helps thank you

  • My iPad no longer connects to my home wifi

    I have an iPad 3 with wifi and cellular connectivity. The iPad is always left on and connected to my home wifi. This morning I picked it up and launched safari but it wasn't connected to my wifi. It can locate the the network, but will not connect. I've reset my network settings, removed the network and then added again with the pass code for my wifi but still no joy. I don't think it's a problem with my wifi or router as my iPhone connects without any issues! Any ideas?

    Found post on here that like calling the oldest tech support line ever it said switch off your router for 10 minutes and try again. As I was at the end of my tether I thought I'd give it a try.
    It worked perfectly, now my iPad 3 reconnects and my iPhone 4S hasn't been affected either. Result!
    FYI router is a Netgear and iAd and iPhone are both running IOS 6.0.1

  • Why can I no longer connect to my home WIFI

    Hi All
    This is my first post and I know from searching online for the last week or so for a solution that this has been a problem for others before. I have tried all of the proposed solutions I have found including, resetting the network settings, resetting all settings, turning the wifi on and off, manually enterring information used within another phone on the manual element of the wifi setup.
    I still cannot connect my phone to my home WIFI despite it being conencted for over a year with no problems, and also having other iphones, laptops and Ipads that can connect.
    The phone that wont connect can still pick up other WIFI networks and barely finds my home WIFI.
    I would really appreciate some help with this as we rely on the WIFI due to not picking up great 3G in my area.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have had the same issue many times with Apple products (Mac, Macbook Pro, IPad) when I have been travelling (hotel, restaurant, coffee shop etc. wifi) or using an "off-site" wifi system. The solutions seems to be to unplug your router from the wall and wait about 10-seconds than plug the unit back in. Works everytime for me.

  • My iMac 2013 will no longer connect to my home wifi automatically why is that?

    All of a sudden my 2013 imac will no longer automatically connect to my 2013 airport extreme base station every device in the house is fine ipads,ipods,epson 4 in 1,windows 7 PC & laptop etc.I literally have to turn the hopspot on my iphone to connect then for some odd reason this triggers the connection to the base station and from there its fine turn off the hotspot & all is well usually I just turn the mac on and thats it connection has never been an issue before.HELP PLEASE it should just work right!

    There is a one year limited hardware warranty with all iPhones.
    You can check your warranty by going to supportprofile.apple.com.
    Try to restore the iphone as new without restoring from a backup. If that doesn't work, you're going to need a repair.
    And if it's out of warranty, you will have to pay for it.

  • TS1398 My Ipod touch is not connecting to my home wifi which should automatically connect.

    My ipod isn't connecting. I've tried everything like typing in my whole network information but it says no network found. Also, all of my computers and phones are connected. I am literally sitting next to my router and NOTHING happens. Any reccomendations? Please help.

    If not this:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

    Then
    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
