Ipod touch 3.0- wifi wont connect to unsecured network

You guys seem like a pretty dedicated and insightful group so I'll try this here.
I downloaded 3.0 on my first generation touch and everything seems to be fine except my unsecured work network will not let me join. Before I upgraded I never had any problem joining. It comes up available but then doesn't connect. There is no value in the DHCP where there was before. I reset the network settings and cleared my cache with no luck. I have a wifi address
Should a restore be the next step? Or are there any better ideas?

I honestly haven't run across this one yet. You can try this (which works with secured networks):
1. Reset your network settings
2. Go to Settings > WiFi > Other networks and type in the name of your network
3. Tap the name to connect.
If that doesn't do it, I would restore the iPod. You can try restoring from a backup but if that doesn't work, try restoring as new.

    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 another cable
    - 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.

  • New iPod Touch 2nd gen unable to connect to my network

    Please let someone on here be able to help me... please. Dx
    I just got my new iPod touch today, plugged it in, put some music on it, tried to connect to my network after it picked it up... and... it won't connect.
    I've tried everything I can think of! It wasn't encrypted before, so I encrypted it. I tried using WPA, WEP, and WPA 2... NONE OF THEM WORK.
    I've tried resetting, banging my head against the wall, resetting the network settings on my iPod... everything I can think of.
    Is there a way to fix this? Please say yes.
    Ugh.
    One other thing, when I turn it on, go under the network and go under more info or whatever (the blue arrow) under DHCP no IP address shows up. Is that normal?
    No, I haven't tried another network yet.
    And I am entering the right password for the network.

    Yes, Grace, there are fixes for this. Unlike some people who think there is a "bug", I think you can get this connected.
    Router: Check your router for the following settings:
    DHCP- On
    MAC filtering - off
    SSID - on
    Encryption - set it to WPA or WPA2 (note, these are not turned on by default)
    DNS - obtain from ISP automatically
    On the iPod side:
    Go to the network connection you have, tap on the blue arrow, tap on forget this network.
    Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings and do that.
    After your iPod restarts, go to WiFi and type in your Network name. Chose the encryption that matches what is setup on your Router, enter your password. (Note: if you choose WEP, choose 128 bit and enter the hexidecimal key when if prompts for a password)
    If you have successfully logged in, you will have a check mark next to your network name. Tap on the blue arrow and look at your settings. You should have your Touch's IP address, subnet mask for the network, the router IP address, and the DNS address(es).

  • IPod Touch 2G loses WiFi WEP connection, have to re-enter SID and password

    We bought a new iPod Touch this week, and it keeps dropping/forgetting the WiFi connection settings. My network consists of a Netgear N router set to mixed mode (B/G/N), WPA, MAC filtering, SSID is not broadcast. I have added the new iPod Touch's MAC address to the routers filter list. On the new iPod I choose Other at the choose a network setting, entered the router information and password, and it connected fine. For a short time it continues to connect fine, but after a few hours or the next day it won't connect (and in network settings it no longer lists my router to connect to). I have to go through the process of choosing other, re-entering the network settings password, and it repeats again...works for awhile, then forgets the setting. We've restored the iPod...same problem
    I have 2 iPhones and 2 Gen 1 iPod Touches that we are currently using that have never shown this behavior. The Gen 1 iPod Touches are upgraded to SW version 2.2.1 (5H11).
    There are so many postings on the net about the 2nd gen iPod touch having wifi problems that I'm suspicious there's a hardware or software bug that remains unsolved, and am ready to return this unit to BestBuy while I still can unless I can find a solution on this forum.

    First of all, turning off SSID was a work around for the issue. Am now consistently connecting to the network. Thank you!!
    But in response to luvlab's last response -- how could an issue supporting a common feature of every wireless router ever made not be considered a bug? That would be just plain silly. Given how long the iPod Touch 2G has been out, I fear you're right -- it's a bug in the design that can't be patched with software and is too costly to fix (or it would have been fixed by now), so SSID is just a "feature" that isn't supported.
    But still -- I thought apple was better than that (tech marketing, design, software, validation, test), so I hope you're wrong.

  • IPod Touch suddenly no longer can connect to Wireless Network.

    Hello, I have yet to find an answer to my problem so maybe you guys can help.
    I have had my iTouch for at least 2 years and have never had a problem with it, and constantly used it to connect to the wireless network in our home.
    However, starting two days ago, my iTouch can rarely detect the network (even when right next to the router) and if it does, it is unable to join because it loses the signal almost immediately. After much troubleshooting, (laptops connect fine, friends iTouch's connect fine) I have determined that something is wrong with mine.
    The only thing I can think of that happened that day, was that night it had gotten extremely cold. (Montana, oh yay.) Could this have caused the malfunction?
    Any insight would be appreciated!

    Given that it got really cold and you brought it inside, condensation could have formed on the inside bits. Dump it in a bag of rice or a jar with those silica gel packages for a couple of days and see what happens.
    If you still have problems connecting, try power cycling your router and resetting your touch's network settings.

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen No Longer Connects to WiFi

    Tonight I've been watching videos via the new Youtube app (from the appstore, since the one that comes with iPod is no longer available). I was watching a Youtube video when the battery on my iPod touch ran out. I connected the charger, the iPod turned on, and it suddenly won't connect to my WiFi anymore. I have other devices that connect to the WiFi with no issues. What happens is I go to my WiFi settings, and select my router as the access point, and a rotating loading icon appears next to my access point's name, 'belkin54g'. But the loading icon never goes away, and as a result doesn't connect to WiFi. I recently upgraded to iOS 6 if that helps. This WiFi connection has always worked fine on this iPod touch, so I have no idea as to why it decided to crap out on me.

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect.  Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.

    Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect.  Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.  Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices.  After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected.  Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP.  Any solutions other than turning it on and off again?  Not a Merry Christmas morning.

    Ok, so, a couple of things:  Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod.  Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
    Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel.  Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem.  Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet.  Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod. 
    Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,

  • My ipod touch is showing I am Connected to Wifi, yet when I attempt to visit a website It Says Not Connected to the internet. I have reset my settings and ipod and this still didn't fix the problem

    My ipod touch shows that I am connected to the internet but when I attempt to visit a webpage it says I am not connected to the internet. I have reset my settings & wifi . And that has not helped the problem! PLEASE HELP ME!

    Your Wi-Fi seems to connect as a local network but not to the Internet.
    Since you can connect to the Internet using your neighbour's Wi-Fi, the problem is definitely your home router.

    you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

  • Ipod Touch 4th gen won't connect to wifi

    Hi there,
    my ipod touch finds my wifi connection alright, but won't it connect to it. It keeps loading on and on but in the end it never does. I can't reset or access the router because I live in a student accomodation flat. I've tried switching it off and back on again and the same happens every time. Strange thing is that my flatmates iphone connects just fine and so does my pc. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

  • IPod Touch (4th generation) won't connect to wifi! Please help!

    My iPod Touch (4th generation) won't connect to my house wifi that it's always connected to. I tried forgetting the network, and putting the password in again, several times. I've tried restarting my iPod, turning the wifi on & off, and also turning the router off and back on but none of this has helped. After I forgot the network and typed the password back in it just kept saying 'loading' and eventually it stops loading but still doesn't connect. It also shows other peoples wifi's but I haven't tried to connect to theres to see if it works. It just started doing this yesterday at this other place I was at but i just figured it was their wifi because when I got home that night it worked just fine but today it started doing it again at my house and I don't know what to do. Please Help!

  • I have 2 ipod touch 3rd gen. Cannot connect to my wifi.  One will connect with neighbor's unsecure network..neither connect with my secured network

    I have 2 ipod touch 3rd generation.   Cannot connect to my wifi.   One will connect on and off to my neighbor's unsecure wifi but neither will connect to my secured wifi.   All my wireless computers connect plus my Ipad connects.    They did connect at one time but haven't used them for anything but audio books which connect through Itunes on my computer.   It shows my secured network name.   When I originally connected them it was another rather with other security but since then I have bought new equipment.   My Ipad and my printers just automatically connect.    I have put in the Ip information plus but still no luck.
