HT3867 my wifi icon show on off buttan show but not in use

my wifi icon show on off buttan show but not in use

Setting the router preamble to long does not work for me. I have tried everything.
I am connected to WiFi, according to the icon in the corner, but it just stops working at random times for all applications. The only way I can get the WiFi working again (temp fix) is to flick airplane mode on and off. Then it will work for a while, and then mysteriously stop working again, even though it says I am connected etc.
I have n 1st gen ipod touch, and two 3G phones here that can connect and stay connected with absolutely no problems, so it is definitely something with the 3GS.
I think I am going to have to try returning this iphone to Apple and getting a replacement, as I have tried everything to get it to work properly.
Not to mention the compass is VERY badly off with this iphone. But that is not as big a deal as WiFi refusing to work.
It is too bad because I get great battery life with this iphone... better than my 3G... and I am worried about returning this one and getting a replacement with poor battery life that I read so many other people seem to have.

Have you tried to reset it? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds and see if you can get it to reboot.

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

TS2972 Homesharing shows up on one computer but not the other one.

Homeshare shows up on my desktop but not my laptop. I can acces the laptop library from the desktop fine but the desktop does not even show up on the laptop. Both iTunes versions are the most current. I have tried turning Homeshare off and back on and closing and reopening iTunes. No luck. I have checked firewall settings. Desktop has windows vista and laptop windows 7. Any suggestions?

EDIT:
After turning homesharing on and off, closing and reopening iTunes, and waiting, it finally connected. Oddly there are two libraries showing up. Anyway, problem solved for me! If only I could delete this question now, haha.

My ipod shows up on my desktop, but not in itunes 7.

Let me start out by saying I've never had any itunes + ipod probems before. Everything has run smoothly up until now.
Last week I upgraded my OS to 10.4.7 because I had been running on 10.2.8 since 2001 and itunes wouldn't let me download albums containing music videos. So I decided it was time for the upgrade. I also upgraded to itunes 7 and had been previously using itunes 6. This is when the problems started. Now whenever I plug my ipod into my computer with my firewire cord, my ipod shows up on my desktop, but not in itunes and I am completely clueless on what to do. No error messages pop up or anything. My ipod charges and that's about it. I tried doing the 5 R's, but none of that helps. I have a feeling it's itunes's problem and not my ipod's. I was thinking that maybe if I uninstall itunes 7 and re-install 6, everyting would work again; but I don't know how to uninstall itunes and I don't want to risk losing my library. I'd just like for itunes 7 to recognise my ipod and update it. Can anyone help me?

My iPod is a click wheel...I think that's fifth generation?
I've always used my firewire cable to update my iPod. I've tried using USB in the past but for some reason it always says that my iPod has low battery and won't let me update it, so I just use firewire. Can I not use firewire with itunes 7?
I'll try using the USB again. It's laying around here somewhere. Just gotta find it.

Can get the AirPlay to work off my computer, but not my iPhone or iPad. I have the latest software. Airplay logo never appears on iPhone or iPad.

thanks

Check the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.

I see a distortion icon image in Windows 8.1 but not in windows 8

I saw distorted icon image in windows 8.1 but not in Windows 8. This bug doesn't affect Windows 8.1 functionality but causes some icons to look ugly, distorted, fuzzy.This bug can be seen in "Delete confirmation dialog box". The
folder icon in delete confirmation dialog box will look distorted and ugly. Black edges will appear around the icon and the icon will not look correct.The same thing also happens in "Send To" menu.
Also heard that this bug is not related to graphics card driver or any other thing.
Hope windows will take necessary actions to solve this bug as soon as possible so that users like us can be satisfied with the new windows 8.1.

Try running SFC scan. Refer the following link for more information:

IPod Classic shows up in My Computer, but not in iTunes

My iPod Classic shows up in My Computer, but not in iTunes. I've gone through the troubleshooting guide, reset it 3 times and put it in disk mode, reinstalled and updated iTunes and still nothing.

Hey there april_lee!
I have a website for you that can walk you through the troubleshooting steps on your iPod classic. This will help you determine the source of your issue and hopefully get the iPod working for you consistently again. The website can be found right here:

I purchased a text tone from Itunes. It shows up in my library, but not as a text tone. Is there a way for me to set it as a text tone for all texts? Or I am stuck with factory settings?

I purchased a text tone from Itunes. It shows up in my library, but not as a text tone. Is there a way for me to set it as a text tone for all texts? Or I am stuck with factory settings?

So it is conseidered a customized text tones even if it was purchased through iTunes? Confusing. Since I bought it through itunes as a text tone I assumed it would work. OOOPS
Thanks so much

Hello there, Capricious13.
There are great pointers in the following Knowledge Base article. Depending on where you see the content and where you want to get it to, this should guide you to putting it in the right place:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How do you know what the data usage was for and why? It shows you date and usage but not the reason.

How can you see what data usage was for on the bill? It only shows the date and usage but not the reason for the usage.

You can not see this info on VZW's site. There are apps for smartphones that will break down the info though, but by site or what was downloaded
