Ipod internet not connecting but shows a wi-fi connection

Hey guys, my ipod touch has been fine up until now. My ipod shows positive connection to the internet, but it cannot connect because "the server cannot be found." Someone please help me. Thank you.

Tap the blue > next to your network name. What are your IP settings showing?
If everything looks normal, ie. 192.168.x.x for your IP address and the routers IP address, you might have a DNS problem. This kind of depends on how well your internet connection is and if you have any problems with your computer getting to web sites.
If you are getting a 169.x.x.x address, then your touch is not getting an IP address from the router. This might depend on your router settings or it might be related to your touch. You can try tapping "Renew Lease" of turning WiFi off and back on. You may even want to power cycle your router if the two previous steps don't help.

Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Photosmart 6525 Internet Not Connected about 3 minutes after turning on

I bought a Photosmart 6525 on 11/20/2012 and have been trying ever since to get it to work wirelessly. There are hundreds of posts in HP forums about this problem, as well as in Windows 7 and Netgear forums. I've tried everything I could find in all of the forums but I can't fix this problem. This printer definitely needs a firmware update to fix it! The printer always loses its internet connection about 3 minutes after turning the power on. My workaround is a USB connection to my Laptop and selecting the Wireless Direct Connection on my iPad for AirPrint. AirPrint only works from my iPad over my normal Wi-Fi network during the first few minutes after the printer is turned on. After that, it will only work over the Wireless Direct Connection and I have to turn off the printer's 802.11 wireless OFF or the iPad can't find an AirPrint printer. That's because the printer status is "Internet Not Connected" to the 802.11 network. But that status doesn't show on the printer's display...you have to print out a Network Configuration to see that the printer has lost the internet connection. My workaround gets me by for now but the situation is certainly not satisfactory. I don't have a wireless printer that works wirelessly even though I just bought one. Also, iPad printing is klutzy since I can't just print from the iPad as I should be able to over my normal Home Wi-Fi network. Instead I have to select the Network Name for the Wireless Direct Connection, then print and then go back to my Home Wi-Fi network. I have four other devices that connect to my Home Wi-Fi network without losing their internet connection and this printer should be able to do so as well! That's why I cannot believe it's a problem with Windows 7 or my Netgear router. I believe the problem is the firwmare in this printer (and probably all Photosmart 6520 series wireless printers). Mine has Firmware Revision PKM2CN1230AR.

Let's try this. Turn off all wireless security for a test. Connect with no security to see if it can stay connected.

Internet not connecting after ios 7.0.2 update on iphone 5

Internet not connecting after ios 7.0.2 update on iphone 5

Hi there PompasJr,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Camera isn't functioning
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center. Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll. Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

5th gen ipod does not connect to mac desktop or itunes

My ipod does not connect with my desktop or itunes (ie when I plug the ipod in using the original USB cable nothing happens--no charging no recognition that it has been connected). My nano does work with the same cable so I know it's not that. I've followed the support instructions resetting, downloading the latest software and restarting. I cannot, however, restore since the first step of the instruction is to connect the ipod and wait for it to show in the source list in itunes. It is also interesting that when I use the car charger the ipod does charge and shows the charging icon.
Any suggestions?

I guess i can lend my voice to the conversation. my ipod "locks up" when i connect to my computer also. i just updated itunes and have not been able to connect. there is no ipod folder on my computer when i search through ""finder". i have to "reset" it after i disconnect to continue to play it. i have done everything short of "restoring" due to i have over 3000 songs and i'm unable to back up. the manuel refers to a disk to update. i can only play songs, and recharge. need help to.

My iPod will not connect to itunes after windows 8.1 download

My iPOD will not connect to itunes after windows 8.1 download
I already uninstall itunes and made sure there were no file left before I installed again (it didn't appear to be any files left but music I had on it before was still there when I reinstall it)
My ipod does work on my old computer and it was working on windows 8 before I update to 8.1
I don't want to installed again because I just did that and didn't work!
I want to use my iPod on this computer and system. Can this be fix?

Hey TheBurntApple,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPhone connecting to iTunes for Windows. While you may have already attempted most of the steps in this article, I wished to provide it to you just in case something was omitted.

TS1363 Since the last iTunes update my iPod will not connect to iTunes

Since the last iTunes update my iPod will not connect to iTunes. My computer recognizes it but as soon as I launch iTunes I get the error message: An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. I have done ALL troubleshooting steps and it still gives me the error...... this only happend since I updated iTunes.

Doublechecking. Have you also worked through the following troubleshooting document?

Hook it up to your computer and open itunes. try to download hte apps via your computer. Every time you update hte software you have to reagree to the itunes terms of service. Sometimes it's hard to get it to come up on the device, but is easier on a computer.

Changing iPod settings on iTunes when iPod is not connected

I got an iPod nano 2GB and would like to change the settings on iTunes without connecting my iPod to it. I don't want iTunes to open when I connect the iPod and want to be able to use it as a disc. When the iPod is not connected there is no option showing on the iTunes screen to make the changes. Can anyone help please?

You have to connect the iPod to change it's settings. If your iPod is set to update automatically you can use a keyboard command to prevent it syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows

80 GiG Brand New iPod Will Not Connect- Wants Drivers

I run Windows Vista. My new 80 GiG iPod will not connect, saying it needs drivers. I guess I'm ignorant, but I'm stumped. The drivers are supposed to be in the latest download of iTunes, but they never are found. I have reset, re-installed my iPod and iTunes until I'm blue in the face. The forums offer no real help except to refer to several articles by Apple that don't give me a clue.
Help Please.

iPods use the standard Windows USB mass storage drivers.

Internet not connected any more...HELP!!!

Hello to all,
I am an happy owner of a dualcore PowerMac G5 2.0.
It has always worked well, but this morning I opened Safari and... "Safari cannot open page because the computer is not connected to Internet."
What? Yesterday it worked at its best...
I try to go on 192.168.0.1 that is mine router ADSL wifi (use the cable firewire) but it does not enter, same message of error: "Safari cannot open pag. because the computer is not connected to Internet."
I try with the Internet logons and guided procedures but nada.
I try on Network Diagnosis, but all ok except light red on Internet - not connected.
Devil, I am connected via wi-fi with the PSP and Internet works. I try with the laptop with cable fw and works, but the Mac not.
What did I made yesterday on the mac? Installed something? Only web upgraded mac OSX 10.4.4 and flip4mac microsoft.
Also I have tried to use instead of the cable, wi-fi with the mac, but null.
The tests that I made on the router say that the guilt is the mac.
It's like if a firewall blocks the tcp/ip. but I do not have firewall except Little Snitch but it is off.
Who helps me?
Thanks 1000!!!

Ciao a tutti,
sono un arcifelice possessore di PowerMac dualcore G5 2.0.
Ha sempre funzionato tutto, ma stamattina apro Safari e...
"Safari non può aprire la pag. xchè il computer non è connesso ad internet."
Ma come??? Ieri funzionava tutto a dovere...
Provo ad andare su 192.168.0.1 cioè il mio router adsl wifi (uso il cavo firewire) ma non entra, stesso messaggio di errore: "Safari non può aprire la pag. xchè il computer non è connesso ad internet."
Smanetto un po' con le connessioni internet e le procedure guidate ma nada.
Provo su Diagnosi Network, ma tutto ok tranne luce rissa su Internet - non riuscita.
Diavolo, mi collego via wi-fi con la PSP ed internet funziona. Provo col portatile via cavo fw e funziona, ma il Mac no.
Cosa ho fatto ieri? Installato qualcosa? Solo l'aggiornamento mac OSX 10.4.4 e flip4mac di microsoft appena usciti...
Ho anche provato ad usare invece del cavo, wi-fi col mac, ma nulla.
Sicuramente viste le prove fatte sul router, la colpa e' del mac...
E' come se un firewall bloccasse le connessioni tcp/ip in uscita. ma non ho firewall installati tranne Little Snitch ma è spento.
Chi mi aiuta?
Grazie 1000!!!

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 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.
