Anyone else having WiFi problems with the IPod Touch 5th Generation?

I upgraded my old IPod Touch 3rd Generation to a 5th Generation yesterday. I've noticed however that for some reason the wi-fi connection on the 5th Generation drops off all of a sudden for no reason at all and I can't figure out why. Anyone else having similar problems? If so what did you do?

Does the iPod connect OK to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect OK?
Did the iPod connect before?
If only your network then it could be a problem with your network
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.

  • Anyone else having this problem with the iPod Touch 5g?

    I just got the iPod Touch 5g tonight, and I love it, however I have this one little issue with it. Here's a picture of it. As you can see, the app I'm using isn't taking up the entire screen. Is anyone else having this problem? Is this something that needs to be fixed with an update for the app? Several of my apps do this.

    The app isn't optimized for the larger screen. You just need to wait for them to update the app.

  • Twice experienced an unusual problem with my iPod touch 5th generation running iOS 8.0: crashes and disables power up. HOME and POWER pressed together to reset.

    iPod touch 5th generation running iOS 8.0. iOS crashed twice, disabling power up. The only recovery was pressing and holding the home and power buttons together for several seconds. The iPod touch then went into restore mode. I've never experienced, heard or read of an iOS crash preventing normal power up: device has known battery charge, does not respond to pressing power button or connecting to AC charger.

    That happens some times. Try:
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem/it still keeps recurring, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Is anyone else having a problem with the iPhone 4s Battery Life?  My 1 year old Iphone 4, which I gave to my wife, is holding a charge better and she has been using it far more than I've been using my 4s

    My wife preordered a white iPhone 4s for our anniversary and even though it is preloaded with the ios 5, i am a little disappointed.  The battery doesn't seem to hold a charge well at all. I have had every other iphone except the 3gs and have never had such a poor battery life.  I owned the iPhone 4 for a year, and already know all the tricks to hold on to battery life, I have adopted the habit of closing out any apps that weren't being used, my mail push notifications are set for hourly, wifi and bluetooth are turned off when they aren't needed.  I also stay away from any car chargers, use only the apple brand supplied cables, and only charge when the phone is dead.  I only would sync when the phone was about to die as well. 
    When I saw how fast I was burning through the battery, I turned off Siri, which is kind of the purpose of the new iPhone, and turned off the backing up to iCloud.  I barely used my phone today and the battery kept ticking down.  My wife, who has been stuck with an iPhone 3g for years, has been fascinated with my old iPhone 4 and has been browsing and playing games and her battery has been holding a better charge than my new phone.  I even tried turning the phone off for an hour when it was at 18% and when I turned it back on, it was at 15%. My iPhone 2, which is only being used as a touch iPod now, still has better standby time than a brand new iPhone 4s. 
    To be honest, I am usually a heavy phone user.  Throughout the day I will make and receive at least 50 calls, I browse and check websites daily and watch videos sometimes during my downtime.  But this weekend, I haven't even had the chance to put this phone through the same abuse my other 3 iPhones have had to endure. 
    I just want to know if anyone else has this problem, or if I should just return this one.   

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

  • Problem with my ipod touch 5th generation

    Hi, I was updating the software of my ipod on my computer but then something went wrong and it get into recovery mode I try to reset it and it send me an error message, also I wanted to save what was on my camera roll or everything I have on my ipod, I download some programs that recover files but I have to pay for them and I don´t know if they really work or not but something that got my atention was the fact that when I was trying to recover the files directly from the device option it says that I need to plug my device (I think there´s a problem with my ipod ´cause it don´t happen with my iphone) but when I click the "recover from itunes backup files" option, everything that I want to recover is on it, did someone know if that means that I can reset it and recover everything directly on itunes? or if I reset it I will lost everything?
    I really need some help please.

    Correct. If you have an existing backup yo can restore the iPod from that backup without any special program.
    To restore from backup see:
      iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        

  • Has anyone else has seen this problem with their iPod touch 5th Generation with iOS 7.0.4. My screen started making flashing white lines across the screen, then went dim, then pixeled with purples

    The ipod will show flashing white lines across the screen, going down, it then does somthing where the screen will dim down but its not like when the backlight goes on and its about to lock. It dims the background of your ipod and the icons and letters kind of all look defined. Then the ipod gets all pixelized and it has big boxes on pixels and its all differnt colors like purples and greens, red, etc. then it turns right off and restarts itself less than 5 seconds later. These things happen really fast but when it does it's really weird. It first happened 3 times in a row, Its still continuing to happen but i can manually turn off my ipod by holding the lock button down and not even 30 seconds later it's like its possessed and it turns on by itself. I talked to somone on appel and they told me to back it up and restore it. I restored it and as soon as the process ended and tuirned on like a brand new ipod and like clockwork the glitch happened instantly. It did it a couple of times throughout the night and i kept having to watch it so i can keep turning it off manually because it continues to turn on by itself. I talked to 3 different people on Apple Support and they couldnt even find an answer for me. It's so weird.

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Also,
    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

    That happened to mine once, but a reset corrected it and I haven't had it happen again.

  • Is anyone else having a problem getting their iPod touch to show up in iTunes?

    I really don't feel like paying iTunes for technical support, so can someone please help me?! My iPod touch will NOT show up on the side bar of iTunes!

    I'm having this problem as well. Did you ever find a resolution? I have a 2nd generation iPod and it doesn't show up as a device on my itunes account. When I connect it, the iPod icon shows up on iTunes but when I click the icon, it disappears. I can't figure out how to edit the content on my iPod. It used to be so easy, but maybe since it's an older unit it's obsolete?? So annoying. I have updated the software and run diagnostics, but its not recognizing the device. Please comment if you found any answers to your issue, it might help me too!

  • A Huge Problem with my iPod touch 5th Generation - Cannot Sync or Hard Reset

    It's Impossible unless Somebody has a suggestion on how to fix this "problem".
    This iPod 5th Generation appears to have a black screen. Whenever i charge it. It goes to charging screen that Battery symbol and the lightning bolt below the Battery symbol. You cannot turn it on or reach to the apple logo. Cannot do a Hard reset (Sleep button + Home button at the same time). It stays as it was. Charging for 5 Hours now...What a big waste. Got this iPod less then a month. Called help to fix the problem at apple store which i have an appointment in 2 days. But if any suggestions would work on my iPod. Then i don't need to go to the appointment.

  • Is anyone else having wifi problems with IOS 6.1.3 ?

    After doing the latest IOS update I can NOT get my (or my Wife's ph) to stay on wi-fi .... Apple says there is nothing wrong that they know of. Backups didn't help either .... Anyone have some thoughts ?

  • What are good compatible Docs with the Ipod touch 5th generation

    I'm searching throughout the net right now and can only find Docs that match older models.

    Hey tcweh, do you wish to charge and play music? Have just great sound? Is the idea to be portable or just a shelf or table top unit? More info would be helpful. Me personally, I like BOSE and Klipsch. Lower cost-- JBL isn't bad, but BOSE is tough to beat. Others may have different opinions. Just make sure it has lighting and you should be OK. Hope this helps, Jem.
