Grayed Out Wi-Fi On iPod Touch That Says "No Wi-Fi"

Okay my iPod Touch has been doing this for awhile now. It's been off and on. . .It's like a terrible relationship ._. that you just can't get out of!!! I have restored my iPod SO many times, I've lost count. I was on my Facebook app messaging one of my friends and BAM, I had no Wi-Fi connection. So I went to my settings and I tapped the Wi-Fi button. It was loading, trying to find a close by Network and it was taking FOREVER. I plugged it up to my computer, click on iTunes, and restored it. When it was done restoring, I went to the settings again because I'd noticed that there was still no Wi-Fi symbol. . . and guess what? It said "No Wi-Fi" and it was grayed out. So I restored it over and over again. Finally, I got so frustrated that I got off of my computer and gave up. So I went back on a few days later and tried to restore it again and then I had Wi-Fi again. I was really excited. Then a few hours later it did it again. I haven't missed any updates or anything... so what's going on?!!!?!?!?!?!!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I'M.SICK.OF.THIS. HELP!!!!!!

Not a good sign.  It is usually caused by a hardware problem. You can try the troubleshooting here before you make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Does anyone know how to unlock an ipod touch that says try again in 23,279,072 minutes?

    My 4 year old somehow locked my old ipod touch and it says try again in over 23 million minutes. I have followed all the steps I can find so far and nothing works.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. 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        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:

  • I have an iPod touch that is synced with my library.  I just got a new Nano and I want to sync that with the same library but I can't figure out to do it with iTunes 11

    I watched the new itunes tutorial, and if you double click on the  blank part of the bar that says music, videos, apps, etc, a button will show with your ipod's name.

  • I bought a used iPod and they were previously signed onto their iCloud. I have been wanting to change it but I have not been able to sign out of the previous account because I cannot sign out of "Find My iPod Touch". How am I able to log that off?

    I bought a used iPod and they were previously signed onto their iCloud account. I have been wanting to change it but I have not been able to sign out of the previous account because I cannot sign out of "Find My iPod Touch" due to not knowing the password. How am I able to shut that off and log into my own account?

    You can't.  This is a security feature to prevent the resale of stolen iOS devices.  You need to contact the seller and have him/her remove it from their iCloud account.  Or return and get your money back.  See: Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support

  • Is Apple going to come out with an iPod touch that has built in Wi-fi ?

    Apple should realy come out with an iPod Touch that has built in Wi-Fi. They iPod Touch could be just like a phone! I think everyone would upgrade to it.

    Yeah , but you can only connect to Wi-Fi if you have a router , which in my case , I dont have one . I already have a phone , but it would be nice for it to have built in Wi-Fi so I could use the Internet or Facetime with people ANYWHERE , even if the place I was at DID NOT have a router / Wi-Fi connection . They iPad has built in Wi-Fi , so why not have the iPod Touch have built in Wi-Fi ?(:

  • When attempting to purchase a song from i-tunes that was on an old ipod that I had to replace, the song is marked as 'purchased' and grayed out.  Is there a way that I can download these previously purchased items onto my new ipod?

    Lori,
    If you upgrade to iTunes 10.3, you can redownload your past purchases from the iCloud.  Just go to the home page of the iTunes Store and click on "Purchased" under "Quick Links."  It will bring up a list of your past purchases that are not currently in your library, with a little arrow icon that lets you download.

  • My iPod touch 3G says "No Wi-Fi" in gray text.

    Hi! I just bought an iPod touch from a thrift store. It is an iPod touch 3G and is on iOS 5.1.1. I restored it and personalized it. In the setup menu there was no option to set up Wi-Fi, and then when I got to the Settings after I was done setting up, next to Wi-Fi it says "No Wi-Fi". I checked out Bluetooth and next to it it said "Unavailable". I want to know how to fix this because I won't find any use for the iPod touch without Wi-Fi.

    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
    Also heating sometimes works. See:

  • Content on my Ipod Touch that does not show up in my iTunes library.....???

    I have a group of about 6 podcasts on my ipod touch that I am trying to delete b/c I've already listened to them and want to free up space. Problem is when I plug into iTunes my library does not list these podcasts as being on my ipod. I know they are on there because I can listen to them but for some reason they do not show up. All of my other podcasts show up, just not these. I'm running iTunes 9.0.3.15 if that makes a difference.
    Seems like i've run into this problem before as well with an audiobook. Don't remember how I got rid of that.

    No problem. Glad to have helped.
    Not sure as to why it happened. I just know this has been happening to a few users lately. It may be with how you have your iPod touch configured to sync Podcasts. So you may want to double check these settings as well as mess around with them a bit to figure out if that is the cause. Otherwise, I'm not entirely sure on this one. Sorry I cannot be of much help here.

  • I have a 5th generation iPod touch that is suddenly "unable to connect to the server", not entirely sure what this means but I'm unable to connect to the internet even though I'm connected to Wifi. Can't connect to iTunes on my pc either. Any input?

    I have a 16GB iPod touch that suddenly stopped connecting to the internet last night. Everytime I try to get mail, or access anything with Safari I get a message saying that it can't connect to the server. Also I've plugged it in to my home computer but it won't connect to iTunes either. I haven't updated to iOS8 yet as I didn't have enough space for it and I had planned on deleting all my music files, updating the software and putting whatever music I could fit back on to the device afterward, but now I'm hesitant to do that as I have no way to get any of the files back onto the device. Could this be because I haven't updated to iOS8 yet? I've been having other problems such as apps crashing unexpectedly lately as well, for example my music shuts off randomly and apps such as Twitter and Tumblr and a few others crash on launch. I'm definitely not a genius when it comes to technology by any means, so I have no idea what's causing this problem or how to fix it, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend 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:
    iOS: How to back up
    - 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.

  • I have an iPod touch that was given to me, so I don't know much about it. It's an ios 6.1.5. The iPod Touch guide mentions Siri, but I don't see it in my Settings. Should I assume Siri is not available on this model?

    I have an iPod touch that was given to me, so I don't know much about it. This is the first Apple product I've owned. The specs say it's an iOS 6.1.5
    (Model# MC540LL/A) The iPod guide mentions Siri, but I can't find it in the Settings. Should I assume Siri isn't available on this model?
    Also, can you tell me how old this iPod is, from the model #?

    it could be a 4th gen or lower, if the camera dosent stick out, then its a 4g,
    however, it could be a 5g (the only model to have siri) it might of been disabled, to enable siri, you have to reset your ipod touch, then when it a says, use siri? tap use siri.
    also if you mesure the screen and it is 3.5 inches then it is a 4g or lower and does not have siri. but the 4g has voice control and its offline, and siri cant be used offline.
    i hope this helps.

  • I got a usb charger for my 4th gen Ipod touch that at first allowed my to charge and transfer music from my laptop to the Ipod now nothing happens when I plug the usb

    I got a usb charger for my 4th gen Ipod touch that at first allowed my to charge and transfer music from my laptop to the Ipod now nothing happens when I plug the usb cord and Ipod into my laptop. Its mac so it is an apple system. I am wondering how I can fix this problem I am not very good with techy stuff so this is very confusing how it was working and it just stopped.

    Hi johnsmiff99,
    That is never fun when your iPod touch does not show up on your Mac. Take a look at the article below to walk you through on getting it to show back up on your iTunes. It is very easy to read so you wont feel overwhelmed with to much techy jargon. Let me know if you get this worked out.
