Ipod Suddenly Stopped Detecting Wifi

I was sitting on bed being lazy, surfing the net on my brand new ipod touch (not a week old) Then suddenly in the middle of surfing the page stops loading, i go into wifi options to check whats wrong and no networks were being detected (usually around 3 routers would be detected). I figured it was a problem with my router, so i resetted. no go, i restored the ipod atleast 10 times, still no go. When i go into the ipod wifi settings the little circle spins for about half a second then nothing happens, no routers detected no nothing. i enter it manually and its like 'network not found' , this is really annoying , the specific reason i bought it was for wifi. I'm pretty sure the problem is the ipod and not the routers, because at one point in time it was working then suddenly it doesnt detect. Also im not sure if i have a warranty on the ipod touch as of i bought it on amazon.com and had it shipped. any advice resolving this issue is appreciated, ive only got 6 days until i move out of state and i would really like to fix this before i leave (The whole reason i bought the ipod is for this trip )
Also the ipod i have is
Ipod Touch 16gig, 1st generation
Firmware 2.2

Try one more thing - reset your network connection on the touch.
Settings > General > Reset > Network Connections
Also, you might want to download and install WiFinder from the App Store. It's a free download and is pretty useful at finding networks near you.

IPod Touch stopped detecting Wifi

Hi, I've had my iPod for a while now and recently it hasn't detected any wifi around the house, or anywhere at all. I've turned it off, reset settings, and restored it. I don't think the problem is my router because I have 3 laptops around the house that get the signal with no problem whatsoever. I put my iPod right next to the router, literally inches from it, and my Wifi name finally came up. When I typed in the password and everything it said it was unable to connect to it. Then I walked 5 feet away and it didn't detect it at all. What could be the problem?

If you still have the problem restoring the iPod t factory defaults/new iPod you very likely have a hardware problem. Maybe a loose connectionto the antena. In that case I would make an appointment a the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

TS3700 why does my ipod suddenly stop playing

Why does my ipod suddenly stop playing?

is your battery charged? How many songs do you have on the playlist (if you are playing a playlist when it stops)? I know that when the earbud wires are accidentally disconnected from the ipod body, the music stops automatically.

My iPod suddenly stop working. What can be a cause for that?

The iPod's battery may be shot, especially after going without use for a couple of months. And yes, you can bring it to your local Apple store to have them take a look at it. They'll be able to determine what your options are.

Help my Ipod suddenly stopped working 2 min after unplug from car......

Help my Ipod suddenly stopped working 2 min after unplugging it from my scion pioneer ipod ready radio. I am not sure what happened; it was working fine and charged sufficiently and i walked into the gym and tried to turn it on, and no life. I tried plugging it back into my car and it says "i-pod read error". I then tried to plug it into my computer and it doesnt even read it. I may have unplugged it when it said do not disconnect; i am not sure though.Any suggestions? thanks!
Windows XP

I'd say your "Scion Pioneer" radio fried your Mini; could have been a power surge, or could be a bug.
You might want to go the "aux jack" route next time.

Help! My 80g Classic Ipod suddenly stopped playing movies! Is there any hope?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try resetting the iPod...

If that doesn't work, make sure everything is up to date...
iTunes
iPod Updater

If the problem persists, see if a restore helps...

Also, is this with all videos or purchased ones? Do purchased songs work fine?
Finally, see if this sample video works (the one for the iPod)...

MacBook Pro Retina stopped detecting wifi network in one location.

Hey everyone, experiencing kind of a weird problem and was hoping someone would be able to help. I was doing some studying at a Starbucks, connected to their WiFi network when randomly my computer lost connection to their network and was no longer able to detect that it even exists. I was worried this was some sort of problem with my wifi card as it could no longer detect any networks nearby, where as before it was detecting multiple networks in the area of the Starbucks. Oddly i was still able to connect to the network on both my iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. Upon returning home I was relieved to find that I was still able to connect to my home wifi network. Since then i've been to many locations with my laptop but not once had an issue connecting to or detecting wifi networks, with the exception being at that Starbucks location. I've returned many times hoping that the problem would somehow fix itself, and that maybe it was just a problem with their network, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It seems to be that for whatever reason something happened to the MacBook pro while I was at that Starbucks location that has caused it to no longer detect the wifi networks there, and only there. One possibility could be the I updated Mountain Lion to the 10.8.2 supplemental update while there, but I don't see how that would cause the problem. If anyone has any ideas as to a solution that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I considered the network hog point, but I don't believe that I was using any excessive amounts of bandwidth. Also, because I can no longer detect any networks at the Starbucks location (not just the Starbucks network) I don't believe that this is the problem. Also, when I updated the operating system I was sure to disconnect from wifi first, I had already downloaded the update on my home network, just had yet to restart to install it, so my security shouldn't have been an issue either. How exactly can I go about masking my MAC address so I could double check to see if it was the network issue?
Oh, also, I booted into Windows 7 via boot camp and for some reason Windows is also unable to detect any networks while at Starbucks as well, which is even more confusing. I don't know if it's worth mentioning, but I bought this MacBook pro retina in Canada and am now in There UK for school. I've heard that north American macs don't play well with one of the network channels that is commonly used over here, so that also may play a role in all of this. But considering that I was able to consistently use their wifi for a couple weeks with no issue, I don't see how that could be the problem. As far as WEP encrypted goes, the network is unsecured so I don't believe that's the problem.
Thanks for the response, I appreciably appreciate it!

MY IPOD SUDDENLY STOPPED BEING RECOGNIZED BY MY COMPUTER AND WOULDNT CHARGE

I have a weird problem, when I plug my IPOD into my computer, it wouldnt be recognized at all (just lik if I had not plugged anything in). The Ipod would work play songs and work fine, but all of a sudden it would not trigger its detection on my Windows XP. It happened all of a sudden.
It wont even charge, or appear in the list of devices... does anyone here have any idea of what could be the problem?
Thanks a lot
David.

I had this problem before. It ended up that I called
Apple and had to purchase an AppleCare Protection
Plan for $50, only for them to tell me to reset my
iPod. Here is how to do it:
Put your iPod on a flat surface.
Toggle the "hold" switch on and then off, to turn
your iPod on.
Press and hold the MENU and SELECT buttons
simultaneously, until the Apple logo appears on the
screen.
Then try to connect your iPod to your comptuer
again.
I hope this helps!
Wond3rlust, what kind iPod are you refering to? Im having the exact same problem with mine; it justs tarted doing this like alst week, but mine's an iPod shuffle, so it doesn't have "menu" and "select" buttons.
But I'm having the same issue with my shuffle. I don't knwo why its doing this. If i knew it was going to cost problems when it isn't even a year odl yet I wouldn't of gotten the shuffle; I would've gotten the mini or something, but I thought, the shuffle being small and not very high tech and everything, that it would cause no problems at all...obviously i was wrong. I NEED HELP TOO!! IM NOTHING WITHOUT MY MUSIC!

System stopped detecting wifi networks

Okay it's really weird, today suddenly my router stopped working (to be more specific, wifi stopped working, i didn't have time for further investigating).
I turned it off for about half hour and after turning it on again everything seemed to be okay, but my system stopped seeing most of networks (including my home network).
I did little investigation and my smartphone, notebook and even windows on the same machine, all of them see all networks and can connect to my home network, so it's propably not router's fault.
My wifi card is TP-Link W851ND (and as mentioned above, on windows everything works great so i guess it's something with linux).
I'm using Cinnamon so i'm connecting via networkmanager (but iw .. scan also sees only few networks).
I thought that maybe newer version of some package may be guilty (i ran system upgrade in meantime) but i downgraded all affected packages and nothing changed.
I'm stuck, any ideas what might cause the problem?

My iPod suddenly stopped reacting to my charge and the battery icon doesn't come up but it still charges and now it won't connect to my iTunes on my computer, help?!

I brought an iPod off eBay, second hand a few weeks ago. The first week I had it everything was working fine. Then suddenly when I plugged it in to charge the battery logo didn't appear, so I left it overnight and it still charged but there was still no logo. And now when I plug it in to connect to my iTunes on my computer, it isn't showing up on the left hand side where it should. I have tried restoring the iPod twice and using different cables and no change was made, what should I do?

My ipod suddenly stop working and i was wondering if it was possible for me to take it to an Apple Store to see what's going on?

I stop using my Ipod for a few months and then when i wanted to use it it didn't turn on. I try to charge it but after two hours of charging it says it still needs more charging time. It didn't get wet or anything like that but, i does make a funny noise when everytime i try to turn it on. All i want to know if like i could bring my Ipod to an Apple Store and they'll be able to fix it or something free or not.
Thanks

Ipod suddenly stopped downloading my newly purchased music

I have always plugged my ipod into the computer and it would automatically bring up itunes and then it would update the ipod with the new songs I've purchased.
For whatever reason, I've noted that whenever I plug it in now...nothing happens. It still gets charged but itunes doesn't automatically pop up and do the updates and when I ran a check up the message I received was that my connection failed. I downloaded the new versions and then I thought maybe it was my firewall McAfee suddenly interfering with it so I shut that down and it didn't help. I want very much to download more music but I cant find answers anywhere to help me fix this issue. I'm going nuts~ My email address is [email protected] Please help..Thanks

IPod suddenly stopped working.....please help

I was transferring purchased songs from my 2Gen iPod nano, but decided to stop it and finish it off the next day. But I now can't switch my iPod on. I've tried holding down the centre and select buttons (when connected to the computer, mains and just on it's own). I've also tried using different cables and another computer, but still nothing. I've also tried to mount the iPod by using Disk Utility, but it doesn't show up there either. The screen doesn't even flicker. I'm pretty certain it's fully charged, but at the moment I can't do anything with it.
I'd be grateful for any help.
Thanks

Don't restore just yet - your music might still be there. There are several threads addressing this in the iTunes board under Discussions. I'll look around and see if I can find something for you on how to access your ipos as a hard drive - which will allow you to see if the songs are there. IF THEY ARE you can do the following:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=658258&tstart=0
Back in a bit if I can find the thread explaining the above-mentioned process (unless someone else beats me to it).
