4th Gen won't connect to internet even though it says it's connected

Hello Apple Community!
I have been using my (4th Gen) Time Capsule to back up my devices and for my household WiFi for about 2 years now. The other day, after a storm, my connectivity was down. I thought it was my ISP, but after bypassing the TC and plugging the Ethernet Cable that would normally connect to the TC directly into my laptop, I was finally able to get back onto the web. (In fact, I am typing this question while hard-wired directly to my ISP modem... but I digress).
Here's the problem (and screenshot's provide a thousand words) -
The Time Capsule SAYS it is connected, but every single device that is connected to it {iPhones, MacBook, Xbox, etc.} will not connect to the internet. Each device is giving an error saying "Cannot connect to internet" or "Unable to connect to internet".
Remedies I have tried already:
Contacted ISP and verified that the internet was still working
Reset ALL devices including - modem and TC (like... 100 times)
Checked update for TC (and I am current with update 7.6.4)
Switched from DHCP to Static IP
Programmed DNS server to recommended addresses (99.196.99.99 and 99.197.99.99) and released them back to automatic
Turned OFF security password for WiFi and set network to OPEN
Factory Reset TC
Rebooted both TC and modem through both Apple recommended and ISP recommended power cycle instructions
Read through all current, passed and relevant 4th Gen Time Capsule connectivity issues throughout thread
I am about to see how the TC floats in the pond out back soon... (not kidding).
I have tried everything and it wont work! The only way I am typing this to the community is directly connecting to the ISP modem. Any suggestions, please help!
{P.S. - I took the screenshot of the router by pugging the cord back into the AirPort TC so you could see what I see, but again, to no avail.. I couldn't connect to the internet via the WiFi)

Electrical storm could have blown the WAN port of the TC, without the TC diagnostics showing it up.. hence the green led.
If you have not already done so, try powering down the TC for several hours. You need it cold, so overnight is a good idea.
Power up the TC and quickly test it.. you have around 10min before issues start if it has heat issues.
No luck quickly change the TC to bridge mode.. ie on the Network tab.. make sure it is off (bridge mode).
Plug the modem to another port of the TC.. LAN 1 2 or 3.. does the light come on?? From a computer, test if you have internet access. In this mode only one computer should have internet. Tell me how that test goes.
Do you have a computer running any OS prior to Mavericks? Even windows would do so you can load 5.6 airport utility.
In 5.6 utility you can set wan port speed to 10mbit half duplex.. I want you to do that.
And then test it again in router mode.
What modem are you using??

IPod touch (4th gen) won't connect to my wifi after being lost

I lost my iPod touch (4th gen) yesterday so "locked" it using iCloud. The nice folks at the vet office found it and I retrieved it today. Noticed it wasn't actually locked, could listen to podcasts and open apps right away, and it syncs fine when I connect it to my computer. But it won't rejoin my home wifi, doesn't even ask for password, just says unable to join. Network is fine, or I wouldn't be able to leave this question! Thanks for any help...

My new iPod Touch (4th gen) Won't Connect To My Home Wireless Network

Hi Out There,
I just recieved my new iPod Touch yesterday, inputed my SSID (Network Name), security type WPA2 and password key and It won't connect. Can anyone tell me if I have to do anything else like fill in all the other fields like IP address, mac address, subnet mask, default gateway or anything else like that or should it have connected with the info i provide as I feel this is the sufficient enough information for it to connect but as far as those other fields that I've mentioned does it auto-fill in those other fields when after it connects? Cannot get on.
Thanks for your responses

Finally figured it out and Apple doesn't even mention this in their article. I did what some other guy did. I took the Touch's physical address or (Mac address as they often refer to it and put the mac address of the Touch in my router's mac address filter list and "Bang" the internet came right on. Problem solved.

IPod Touch 4th Gen won't connect to my computer, charge or connect to iTunes.

Okay, here is the issue. My computer runs Windows Vista. Ever since I have updated iTunes to 11.0.2, my iPod touch hasn't been able to connect to the computer at all. I don't know if there is any correlation between the update and my issue, but I need someone to be the judge of that. Apple has suggested that you uninstall iTunes, QuickTime, etc. restart the computer and then reinstall them. So I have done that multiple times, and my iPod still won't connect to the computer. My sister's iPod touch, 4th gen just like mine won't connect to iTunes or the computer either. I have spent a lot of time looking up possible solutions, but none of them work at all. I've done everything Apple suggests in troubleshooting and such, but nothing works. I was hoping someone else might be able to give me a solution. One that hopefully does not involve uninstalling and reinstalling Apples programs, which I have done several times.
I have tried all accessable USB ports on my computer, and I have switched between the four different USB cords that we have, so this isn't the issue. My PS Vita will connect to the computer with no issue at all, so it isn't the USB ports either. I can plug my iPod Touch into my PS3 and it will charge the instant I plug either end of the cable in, the same for my sister's. I can plug it into the dock on my mother's alarm clock and it will charge just fine. I'm open to any suggestion, so please help me out here.

Ipod Touch 4th gen won't connect to wifi

Hi there,
my ipod touch finds my wifi connection alright, but won't it connect to it. It keeps loading on and on but in the end it never does. I can't reset or access the router because I live in a student accomodation flat. I've tried switching it off and back on again and the same happens every time. Strange thing is that my flatmates iphone connects just fine and so does my pc. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Ipod Touch 4th Gen won't connect to my wifi

I just got home from work and tried to go on my Ipod touch 4th gen to see if I got any new emails and to facetime my fiance. I check my ipod to reconnect to my wifi router and it hasn't connected(bare in mind it was connecting to my wifi fine before i left the house this morning). I went to my settings on my ipod and then to my wifi to seeif it would connect like it used to. nothing happened. I looked up all of the info i could hard reseting my ipod, resetting my network settings, turning on and off the wifi, forgetting the network and re-entering it and it still has that circle infinitely spinning around next to the name of my home wifi. My wifi works on my laptop my ipod is just refusing to reconnect with my wifi. THis is upsetting and fristrating... Does anyone have any idea for how I can solve my problem?

IPod Touch 4th gen won't connect to wi-fi

So I was in my university, when I noticed the iPod suddenly disconected from Wi-Fi. When I got home, it didn't connect to the home network either, and asked for the network password. I entered it, and said it was wrong. I entered it from my iMac, and the password was correct. What's going on? It's a 4th gen 64 gb ipod running on iOS 6. The wireless router is an Airport Extreme Base station.

Yup. I made it forget the network, tried again. ZIp, nada. Tried changing the base station's password, and entered the new one, didn't connect either. My dad's iPhone 4 connects without any problems, as do the family iMac and MacBook Pro.

My iPod Touch 4th Gen won't connect to the internet!

Recently whenever I try to connect to our home wifi it hasn't been connecting, all that comes up is that loading spinning circle thing that means it's trying to connect. No matter how long I leave it, it doesn't connect. I don't think it is the router or network connection as my brothers iPod connects and works fine as usual, and I don't think it is a hardware issue relating to wifi connection because I can connect to my friends network just fine. So has anyone had a similar problem? or know how to solve it?

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? I think yes

My phone won't connect to the internet even though it says I have 3G. As soon as I get home it connects to the WIFI and I get a flood of emails etc come through. Can anyone explain what the problem might be?

Whilst I'm at work I can't seem to connect to the internet, despite the home screen telling me I have a 3G connection. I can't get anything to refresh at all, until I go home and my phone auto connects to the WIFI and then I get all my emails and app notifications come through in a flood.
All other aspects of my phone working fine.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Check to see if you have cellular data enabled for mail.
Go to Settings > Cellular and check the apps under "USE CELLULAR DATA FOR:"

Won't let me browse the internet, even though it says I am connected

Hey I just bought an Ipod Touch and tried connecting to my unsecure network. I did that just fine and it said I had really good signal but I tryed to go to google and it said "cannot find the server". Does anyone know what is happening? I would really appreciate an answer!

I'm having a similar problem. I'm trying to get on the internet at my school, it normally requires a username and password to get on to it from a laptop, but the Touch doesn't allow me to put in my username. I put my password in that is associated with my username and it doesn't work. I then tried "admin" as the password, and it connected me, but when I try to get on the internet it says that it can't find the server. Anyone know how I can get around this, or fix it? THANKS!!

My 4th gen 8GB Ipod touch is full even though I've only got 600 songs.

My 4th generation Ipod touch has 600 songs and no apps, yet when I plug it in to my computer it's filled with 5.5gb of 'other'. I've looked in the settings to see what the other is but it won't say. I've reverted my Ipod to its factory settings deleted everything bar my music and yet it's still full. Help.

Other is usually around 1 GB...
A ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
First Try a Restore from Backup...
But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup...
Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

(4th gen) Won't charge or connect

My iPod shuffle 4th gen won't connect to my itunes and doesn't seem to charge. When I plug it in the light will be orange for about 20 seconds. Also, when I flip around the switch on the top it will sometimes flash red twice. When I plug my headphones in, I still will get music.
I'm using itunes 11 and I'm using OS X 10.9 on a 2012 macbook pro.

To add to what has been said, I've tried both USB ports, I have plugged my phone in to both ports to ensure they work. Also when I plug my shuffle in to my wall it will charge from there. I have restarted my macbook, and I have to latest version of itunes.
