Can't connect to BTFON with IPOD Touch?

Help please - am connecting to my Homehub fine with my IPOD Touch, however when I try to connect using BTFON I get an error message saaying this Wi-Fi Hotspot is temporarily unavailable.

No I can't connect manually either.
It also won't connect to BTOpenzone - just to my homehub.
Is it the openzone associated with your own homehub or another location, there have been instances where the public side of the HH has locked up stopping connection with it, a reboot "should" clear the lockup

I can't connect JBL Flip with ipod touch 4th generation

I connected the JBL Flip with my MacBook Pro and it worked fine, music was coming out of the JBL. When I try to connect from my ipod, it does not. I turned bluetooth ON on my ipod, then "Searching..." is displayed and the speaker never shows up. Any tips on this? The user manual from JBL is useless.

hi,
i just opened the flip and paired with one ipad and subsequently wanted to pair with my ipad. my ipad kept searching and searching and could not find the jbl flip even though it was right next to it. i had the same problem as the original post. I think the following is what ultmately solved the problem. first i turned off the blue tooth on the first ipad (not sure if this mattered) so the flip wouldn't be connected to it. i could not find a reset nor how to take the batteries out simply on the flip. . I DID though hold the power button for quite a while on the flip. I did this long enough for the red light (vs the blue light of the flip) to flash. once flashing red i turned back on blue tooth on my ipad and it discovered the flip. i touched the ipad screen to select the flip and then discovered the flip.
I hope this helps

How can you connect your 4th gen ipod touch to a 3g network?

how can you connect your 4th gen ipod touch to a 3g network?

Yu need a device like the following:
- A MiFi or similar. They are credit-card size devices that act a wifi hotspot and then connect to a cellulare network
- Use a smart phone that can act as a wifi hotspot to share it s cellular connection. An iPhone will also do that via bluetooth. You need to purchase a tethering plan .

Thank you.

The Holy Mecha of Wifi
Turn router off then on Try turning your wireless router off then back on.
Change or turn off wireless security You may want to try toggling the settings on your wireless router, switching from WPA to WEP or vice versa, or, as a last resort, turning wireless security off altogether. For AirPort routers, this can be accomplished with the AirPort Admin Utility. For other routers, this can usually be accomplished by accessing the router’s configuration page — open a browser and enter the address 192.168.1.1.
Reset network settings on iPad. On your iPad, open Settings, then navigate to “General” in the left-hand pane. Scroll down and tap Reset, then select “Reset Network Settings.” This will delete any stored WiFi passwords and other information, but may result in a more stable connection.
Adjust brightness upward. Oddly, a number of users have found that they can resolve this issue by simply adjusting the iPad’s brightness level upward and off the lowest setting. To do this, tap Settings, then select “Brightness & Wallpaper” from the left-hand pane. Slide the brightness bar upward, then wait 1-2 minutes and check for an improvement in signal strength. Speculation holds that a power delivery issue associated with the screen brightness affects Wi-Fi.
Change thresholds in router settings. Access your routers configuration screen (for most routers, open a browser and enter the address 192.168.1.1), then change the fragmentation threshold and the CTS/RTS threshold as described here. Some users have found success with the settings Fragmentation= 2048, RTS = 512.
Change 802.11 spec on router. Try changing your router’s wireless spec mode from B, G and N to G only or vice versa. For AirPort routers, this can be accomplished with the AirPort Admin Utility. For other routers, this can usually be accomplished by accessing the router’s configuration page — open a browser and enter the address 192.168.1.1.
Switch routers. Although a far-from-ideal solution, some users have found success with switching to a different wireless router.
Turn off “Ask to Join Networks.” To do so, tap Settings on your iPad, then select “Wi-Fi” from the left-hand pane. Slide “Ask to Join Networks” to off. Speculation holds that leaving this option on causes the iPad to constantly seek networks, resulting in some type of interference with the network to which it is connected.
Forget network then rejoin. Tap Settings on your iPad, then select Wi-Fi from the left-hand pane. Choose the network with which you are experiencing difficulty, then select “Forget this network.” Go back to the previous screen and rejoin the network.
Turn off Bluetooth. Some users report that, perhaps due to interference issues, turning off Bluetooth can boost Wi-Fi signal strength. To do so, tap Settings then tap General in the left-hand pane. Tap Bluetooth in the right-hand pane, then slide to off.

Is the iPad camera connection kit compatible with iPod touch 4?

It has the 30 pin connector, so it it compatible with iPod touch 4?

No. You get an error that says not supported.

IPOD touch OS 3.1.2 can't connect to wifi with hidden SSID

This isn't so much a question, rather than a complaint. It seems like other people have the same issue. I have a Linksys router configured with hidden SSID and encryption. My newly purchased iTouch can't re-connect to it after I cycled the wifi settings (or cycle the power). I have about a dozen other wifi enabled devices, some as old as 5 years, that have no problem reconnecting to the hidden network. I find it unbelieveable that this fancy new OS can't support something as common as hidden SSIDs. Now I have no choice but to broadcast the SSID which is not something that I wanted to do. I hope Apple will fix this eventually.

I think I may have figured out part of the rhyme, but the reason is still bewildering. Nobody is stating the router they are using. I figured out a clue to this. I was using the D-Link DIR-825 router with iPhone os 3.1.2 and had no trouble at all with my hidden SSID. Two weeks ago I purchased the Linksys WRT610N, and the iPhone will no longer automatically connect to the router unless I enable broadcast SSID. So why did the iPhone connect to D-Link and not Linksys automatically? There's got to be a difference in the way these companies are treating hidden SSID. The iPhone and iPod Touch will recognize one and not the other. Now it makes a little more sense as to why some people are ok and others not.
What's more peculiar is that my laptop and wireless bridge both work fine with the hidden SSID from both routers. It's only the iPhone that is being finicky.

Can not connect to WiFI with IPAD. Any tips?

Any tips on how to connect to WiFi. The IPAD does not find WiFI. I know that is working as I currently have 3 other devices using currently.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Accessing home wifi with iPod touch

I received an iPod touch for Christmas and have successfully loaded it with music from my iTunes account on the computer. I now want to be able to access the internet, iTunes, App Store etc. on the iPod touch but cannot connect. It is asking for a password. I've tried my iTunes and hotmail password with no success. Getting very frustrated. Can anyone out there help me? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply however, I'm still stuck. Now I understand what it is asking for but can't figure out what screen I was in to enter the number. When I select Settings / Wifi it has Choose a Network and it has selected BigPond8966 which is what is on the modem. The next screen has an IP Address and Subnet Mask numbers in each. There is then ROUTER/DNS/SEARCH DOMAINS/CLIENT ID which are all blank. Is this where I'm to enter the WPA number? Getting so frustrated that I can't get it working.

Cannot connect to wifi on ipod touch

I can't get wifi on my ipod touch. I reset network setting and i still can't get wifi. This has never happened before. HELP PLEASE

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.
Also heating sometimes works. See:
Why can't I select my wifi settings?
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.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Then:
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? See other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
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
- 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:

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Unable to connect to internet with iPod Touch

Hello,
I received an iPod Touch for Christmas but cannot connect to my wireless network at home. I have spent a lot of time talking to Apple Techs and they tell me that I need to update the firmware of my router. My router is an Actiontec MI424WR. When I attempt to connect, the iPod says it "connects" to my SSID but when I launch the browser, it says "cannot open page because the server stopped responding." The IP adddress on the iPod starts with "169" but Apple says it should be "192." Apple says the router needs to be updated with newer firmware. Can anyone direct me as to how I can update the firmware for this router? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have the same router that you have. In my house we have a 1st gen and a 2nd gen iPod Touch as well as a 1st gen iPhone and 2 2nd gen iPhones that all connect to the Verizon router. I did have to redo the settings on the 2nd gen iTouch several times before it would work. I do not know if I was fat fingering the WEP or what but once it started woking on xmas morning it has been fine since.
Just go thru and triple check your WEP key and make sure that you are entering it in correctly and you should be fine.

Can not sync Planes movie with iPod Touch

I have recently purchased the Planes movie so my son can have it on his iPod Touch. It has downloaded to my iTunes account but will not sync with his iPod. I get the error message ( "Planes" was not copied to the iPod ... because it cannot be played on this iPod ) He has 5.83 GB free. I have tried different USB ports and hubs. We have been able to install multiple other movies and play them just fine.

Likely the version you download is too high resolution for the iPod.
Try going to the Purchased section in the iTunes store and see there a a version with less resolution available for download. Look for SD version.
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
\iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device

I can not connect to wifi with router WRT54G2 v1 with Windows 7

Hi everyone: I have a Linksys WRT54G2 V1 and since I bought my new notebook with Windows 7 I can not access the wifi.
I have another notebooks with Windows Vista and a PC with Windows XP that connect perfectly, but with Windows 7 gives me error when loading the password.
I Update the firmware to version 1.0.04 (this the latest version I found on the cisco site), but still don't work.
I Try chatting with Cisco support and was told he was no longer under warranty ....
Can you tell me how to solve this problem ???
Thank you for your help !!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sure, disable security on the router completely for now. Now try to connect with no security. Once done and verified go back and add security back on of WPA2-AES with a new password and try again.
