How come my ipod5 has an exclamation mark on each wifi connection that is available to it

how come there is an exclamation mark on each respective wifi connection available?

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.

    You can continue to use them as Apple ID's, change the rescue address (as you know)
    You can use your iCloud address, but it won't be an alias, it's a full email address.

  • HT4865 How come "find a friend" tell my followers I am at places that are 12 hours old?

    How come "find a friend" tell my followers I am at places that are 12 hours old? This morning it notified my followers I was at a location but it was 12 hours old. This app has done this before sending out old information.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you are in a location where that location can't be determined (as a result of poor signal or whatever), the app will report your last confirmed location.

  • Internet works, but I have an exclamation mark instead of AirPort connection and cannot connect to my WiFi.. PLEASE HELP!

    Internet works, but I have an exclamation mark instead of AirPort connection and cannot connect to my WiFi.. PLEASE HELP!

    When you see an exclamation point in the Wi-Fi menu, from the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
    Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. You may get a warning that Wi-Fi is not available, that you're too far from the base station, or that you're using the wrong password.
    Assuming that you've ruled out those possibilities, restart the computer and try again. If there's no change, click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and authenticate, if necessary. From the Location menu at the top of the window, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click  Applyand test.
    If there's still no connection, and if you have control of the router, compare its settings to Apple's recommendations. Some third-party routers may be incompatible in 802.11b/g/n radio mode. Try setting the mode to 802.11n only.

  • I'm finding that songs that I have imported to Itunes are suddenly showing with "Exclamation" marks and Itunes tells me that the original file cannot be found.  When I tell it to locate the file, it can't do it.

       I'm finding that songs that I have imported into Itunes and played before are suddenly showing an"Exclamation" mark and Itunes tells me that the original file cannot be found.  When I tell it to locate the file, it can't do it.  I went to the Itunes help for locating files, but that still won't do it.  It seems that somehow they are getting deleted, but not by me that I know of.
    Can anyone help me?

    Maybe you rename it. Somehow the path to the songs have changed if not deleted.
    In Finder go to "Macintosh/Users/username/music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music" that's where all your songs located so if those songs are not there you get an exclamation mark. You can delete those entries in iTunes and re-import again.

    System Preferences > Network > WiFi
    To give a network the highest priority, drag the name of the network to the top of the list. This is the network your computer will attempt to join first.

  • Just bought a macbook pro 2008, will not pick up wifi connection that my old lap top has very quickly. whats wrong?

    I just bought a used macbook pro, turned it on and it will not pick up wifi connection n my house that my old lap top has done very fast and easy wifi connection. What do i have to do to log on to internet with wifi with my macbook pro?

    That could be the reason they were selling the old macBook Pro.  Does the network utility even see any WIFI networks?  If it doesn't, and you know they exist, something with the WIFI might have failed.  Can you connect using the wired ethernet port?
    You might have to take it to an Apple store or an AASP for a checkup.

  • Many of my iphoto pictures come up with a pixilated exclamation mark!

    They are all there in thumbnails and some of them will open but others will not? how do you fix this?

    Okay let me explain what I have done so far and what may have happened to see if there is any way possible for me to get them back!
    I cleaned out my documents folder because it had an overload of unneccesary files that were no longer needed! I deleted them and emptied the trash! Well here I am a week later and decided to look at my pictures in order to send some. This is where I noticed that some worked and some did not, even from the same files. For example I have 20 pictures from the same day, downloaded the same way, from the same source and 5 work while 15 show the pixilated exclamation mark.
    Now this is what I have done so far!
    I downloaded mac keeper to undelete any files I can, which turned out to be a waste of time because all it is recovering is any and all pictures it has come across online and from the mac (wall papers, clipart, ect) and .png, .plist, and .tiff files along with the random .jpeg's. I also tried stellar pheonix which recovered a couple pictures but only if they were already online.
    I tried the suggestion where the alt and command key are held simultaneously while launching iphoto and i clicked all of them (rebuild thumbnails, restore, ect) and still nothing!
    Are these pictures lost forever or are they corrupted? If they are corrupted what is my next move to try?

  • How to delete the tracks with exclamation marks?

    I have just moved about 10 gigabytes of music I don't listen to off my hard disk to an external hard drive. This was to declutter my hard drive and get me down to about 50% free. Itunes now has all the moved tracks still listed with exclamation marks next to them all now. I want rid of these songs from my Itunes view. How can I get rid of these moved tracks now without manually deleting the batches. Annoying that exclamation mark field is not sortable or would be easy to mass delete.
    Anyone got a neat solution out there?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, but now you have lost all your regular playlists, ratings, play counts, last played dates, non-embedded artwork etc.
    Hope you don't miss them. If you do it might be possible to restore an earlier version of your library file and then bring it up-to-date with the free scripts at Doug's site.
    An all iTunes, no loss of data approach would have been as follows:
    Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist. You can delete them all with a Command-A to select them and Option-Delete to remove them. You can then delete the Lost & Found playlists.
    I normally recommend the scripts as being an easier way to do things that you may want to do again.

  • How to get rid of the exclamation mark

    how do you get rid of the exclamation mark on a mac itunes set up...this is enuff to cause mass murder!!! geez nothing should ever be this hard.

    You're not giving us much to work with in terms of diagnosing the cause.
    An exclamation mark means iTunes cannot find the media file it has listed as being associated with the library entry you see in the iTunes window.  iTunes doesn't look at your file, it looks at a database of which files you should have.  When it does have a brief look then if you or the computer or your cat have done something to remove that file or cause iTunes to lose track of it, you get !   In a worse case scenario it isn't you who moved the file (you can always move it back), it is your hard drive dying and losing files in which case a missing iTunes file is the least of your worries.
    So:
    Do you have a cat that walks on your keyboard?
    Have you moved or renamed any files or folders remotely associated with iTunes?
    Do you keep iTunes on an external drive?
    Have you run Disk Utility and verified your hard drive recently?
    Anything else you would like to share?
    If it is just one ! then the easy solution is to reply "Yes" when iTunes asks if you want to locate the file.

  • ITunes. Entire music list has the exclamation marks and I can't open music because it cannot be located. I'm 67yr old and need advice please.

    I'm 67 yrs old and asking for advice please.
    I'm unable now to play the music in my iTunes playlists. 90% of the tunes have exclamation marks now and I can't 'locate' the music. How can I locate the music or remove the exclamation marks on my iTunes music list?

    Typical reasons for missing files are, you've deleted the files, they are on a disconnected external drive, or the drive has a changed drive letter, you've moved the folder where the files live in some other fashion, a third party app has rearranged the files, or iTunes has got confused about the layout they are supposed to be in.
    Generally you need to work out what has happened, reverse the action and everything will be alright again. If it is something you can't/don't want to undo, e.g. a drive letter change, then as long as you can track down the current location of the folder containing the media then my script FindTracks should be able to reconnect it to iTunes.

  • How come they still haven't fixed the ios 6 wifi problem on ios 6.0.1 making me mad -.-

    I know apple or the tech support doesn't read this but come on tell them to fix the wifi problem that started from ios 6 and still continuing to ios 6.0.1. I already gave them another feedback like 5 days ago. I really don't want to reconnect to my wifi everytime. I already did everything possibly to fix my wifi problem. I know its IOS 6.0.1 because it started with ios 6 and still not fixed by apple update to 6.0.1.
    I have a very limit data plan of 300 MB on at&t and I don't want to go over so I rely on my wifi most of the time.

    Maybe you just lucked out but both my devices running ios 6.0.1 have wifi problems shutting of at random times during sleep. I know you guys will say when its plugged in it doesn't lose wifi true but I never remember having this problem in the previous ios verison from ios 4 to 5(On my Iphone 4, and from my Iphone 4s from IOS 5) until I updated both devices to ios 6  or even when I had a iTouch 3rd gen long time ago I never remember it shutting of my wifi. I am telling you this never happened before IOS 6 where I need to leave it plugged in just to have my wifi during wake up.

    I thought I believed my iPhone 4 with iOS5.0 would not disconnect during sleep mode. However, I was wrong. What I did was to ping the IP addresses on my iPhone 4 (iOS5) and iPhone 5 (iOS 6 then, and iOS6.0.1 now) when they were in sleep mode. Very true that there were timed-out on both devices. Once I woke them up, ping went thru. I did a scan on my home network using my iPad while the other 2 phones were in sleep mode, I was not able to see them.
    I thought my iPhone4 did not disconnect too. But again, I think the reconnecting to wifi on iOS 5 is SO MUCH quicker than on iOS6 so user would think there was never a disconnect.
