IPod Touch 3G loses wifi every few seconds
I just purchased a new Touch 3G last night, and every few seconds it loses the wifi connection and reconnects. It does this over and over again consistently. When i go into wifi settings, i can actually see the settings for my wireless disappear, then reappear with a check mark beside it, every few seconds.
I've tried changing broadcast channel in router, from mixed to non-mixed G, resetting the router and iTouch, and release/renew. My laptop and desktop are connecting fine with the wireless, so i assume the issue is with the iTouch.
3.1.1 OS
Just recently purchased and mine does the same exact thing. Mine seems to show a strong 3 bar connection while in the WiFi settings menu. When I back out to Home, the signal indicator suddenly drops to one bar and will flucuate to 2 or 1 bar. I have done all the tricks mentioned here with my router as well. But in my home I use assigned static IP's. Every setting is correct on the iPod Touch's menu. Im lost as to why it does that.

IPod Touch 4G cuts off last few seconds of song.
My iPod touch cuts of the last few seconds of songs, the longer the song, the more is cut off. Think "Yes - Yours Is No Disgrace", lists the time as 9:40 in the playlist, but on the "now playing" screen is only 9:35. No problem in iTunes or my other 3 iPods with the same song. It's very consistent and always happens at the same place. "gapless album" setting makes no difference. I will try re-ripping the album with iTunes to see if that helps, but don't see why it should.
Resetting "almost" worked - the first time I played the song after resetting it showed 9:40 in the now playing screen, but ultimately it still cut off, and then when I restarted the song it again showed only 9:35. But thanks for the suggestion.
I re-ripped the album using iTunes, and it now plays fine. I am suspecting that the decoder used in the iPod touch is different from other iPods. Now I've got to go and re-rip all the albums that have the problem <groan>. -
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.

IPhone loses WiFi every few days
Hi. My iPhone 4S has been acting strange recently. Every few days or so my WiFi will stop working. It shows In the corner that it's connected but nothing that uses the Internet works. I go into Settings and turn WiFi off and on and it tries to connect but the wheel just spins next to the network name. Other devices in my house work fine during that time but the iPhone won't connect. Usually the only way I can get it working again is to reset my network settings on the phone.
I'm wondering if it's my router possibly? It's a Linksys WRT54G that we've had for a long time. I'm using WPA Personal. Could my router be getting too old? Ive also noticed lately that my WiFi strength goes from two to three bars quite a bit on the iPhone. I always had full bars in the past. My channel is on 11 but I tried to change it the other day which caused my Xbox to not connect so that's another reason I'm leaning toward the router being too old. But the fact that my phone can lose signal while everything else in my house is unaffected makes me feel like it could be the phone.
Any help would be appreciated!Hi. My iPhone 4S has been acting strange recently. Every few days or so my WiFi will stop working.

IPod Touch disconnects after only a few seconds
I just bought a iPod Touch yesterday and updated it with the new January software upgrade (Apple Mobile Device 1.1.3.26).
My PC has WinXP Pro with SP 2, iTunes 7.6.0.29 and QuickTime 7.4 installed. I have reinstalled both iTunes and Quicktime in an attempt to resolve this problem.
The problem is that after successfully copying around 10 to 40 songs the device disconnects and the following 2 errors show up:
First error: "The iPod "X" cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to."
Second error: "Attempting to copy to the disk "X" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
I have restored the iPod Touch to the original settings to see if there was a problem with the device but the issue persists.
I also ran the iPod/iPhone Connectivity Tests from iTunes, the results are below:
|** iPod/iPhone Connectivity Tests **

I have also tried using 2 separate USB 2.0 connections on the PC and the results are the same.
Finally I have an original iPod Nano that syncs fine with the current PC I am using.
I would really like to get this thing working, please help!I'm not sure getting a Mac will solve this issue. The number of people having similar issues on Macs appears proportionately in line with Win users. Having said that, a switch will certainly result in a more pleasant and vastly more efficient user experience.
If you can get your hands on another usb/iPod cable, you might give it a try. Of the 4 usb/iPod cables in this house, only one is capable of getting my Touch recognized by my G4. To get that one to work it has to go in with a scraping sound/feel to it.
Make sure your drives don't fall asleep. This will generate the error messages you are getting. Though it strikes me as bizarre, I've noted that the sync and update process does not prevent my drives going into sleep mode. When that happens I get either of the error messages you got.
Most important in my case was there were image files that, although worked fine in iPhoto, Graphic Converter and Elements, would consistently cause an aborted sync. I batch resaved about 6,000 image files and have had no syncing problems since then.
I solved connection problems by simply plugging and unplugging the iPod end of the cable until it connects. -

When watching my Apple TV (3rd gen) the picture jumps a few frames every few seconds, this happens when I rent a film or play back from my new Mac Pro, my Wifi is the Airport Express.
These may be different issues, but lets look at rentals first.
Poor motion can result from mismatched output. If your source is 24 or 30 fps you should set the output of the Apple TV to 60 Hz, for 25 fps content use 50 Hz.
Additionally motion software on the TV itself can cause the picture to jump, check your TV settings and turn off any motion settings in use, -
Wifi is going on & off every few seconds, how to repair this?
I took my MacPro Mid 2009 model running Lion Safari 6.0.2 to the Apple Store Thursday of last week to the Apple Store located in Tampa @ the Interconential Mall, left it overnight with an Apple Genius Technician & picked it up the following evening. My Wifi upon arriving home was on the top of the list as the APPLE Location, I last used my computer. I changed that & dragged my Wifi from home to the top. I did this becasue my Wifi is turning off every few seconds, which makes downloading & surfing the web a big pain! What can I do to keep the wifi to stay on? My Mac everytime I open it, occasionally makes a sound like a disc is in it and there isn't one. I know there is no way they could hear it at the Apple store due to the noise & so many people there.
I had a technician come to my home to check out what my internet speed was, he corrected that he said & told me I needed a Time Capsule to connect to my router. If I am not correct, please correct me but doesn't a Time Machine work as a router & a backup?Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessage at. If your iPhone number is listed in there, select it and unselect your email address to use for Messages. If your phone number disappeared or never was in there, you will probably have to turn off/sign out of Messages on your iPhone and on your iPad and then start all over again by signing into Messages on the phone first, then on the iPad. Your phone number should be available to use for Messages in the setting that I described after that.

Streaming from iPad, through an app and the streaming will stop unless I touch the screen which seems to wake it up and will begin from where it stopped. Can anyone tell me why it does this? Kind of makes watching something a little annoying. It's as if the iPad goes to sleep, which stops the streaming. Is there a way to keep the streaming going without having to touch the screen every few seconds to have a the streaming continue as a steady feed?
Thanks,
David H.If you are streaming through an app it may need it to be awake so it can receive the feed on the iPad and then airplay it, depending on how the app functions. You can set the auto lock to never

Every few seconds, WiFi says: "Searching for Networks", alternating with WiFi: "ON"
WiFi seems to be scanning for networks every few seconds. In between, it is showing ON.
Other computers on the same home wireless network are fine. My home network appears
to be strongest, why does the Apple WiFi keep scanning? internet seems to be intermittent.
This started a couple days ago, no change in hardware for a long time.It's functioning as intended.
OS X is assuming that you clicked the Wi-Fi icon for a reason: to be given the option to connect to a different wireless network should you so choose. -

Then back it up and do a restore. If that does not work and if you are still under warranty, call Apple tech support or take the iPod to your local Apple Store or an AASP.

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, -
I'm running a Toshiba Satellite laptop that was originally running Windows Vista 32-bit, but was upgraded by me to Windows 7 32-bit. On Windows Vista, all I would run was Firefox. I loved it!!! On Windows 7, I've noticed that Firefox kept hanging whenever I would try to download a file...from anywhere. I got so frustrated I went to try several different browsers. They all worked extremely quickly, whereas Firefox was working so slow, I could click on a link to a page, go get some lunch, come back and it still be trying to load the page. This was drastically unusual for Firefox. I used the other browsers and everything was fine for a week and then Windows Explorer started going down every few seconds. I went to the windows 7 forums and started looking. There were several suggestions on how to fix the problem, none of which worked for my compy. I tried restarting the compy in safe mode. That didn't help. I turned off every startup program except for the essentials and that DID work in keeping Windows Explorer from restarting. I then dove into the tedious task of trying to discern which 3rd party program was the offender. I removed everything from my compy that had been downloaded in the last ten days (well before the windows explorer issue, but not before the firefox issue). That didn't work either. I tried replacing an explorer file, which didn't work either. There were several other things I tried, as well, but nothing worked. Then, I saw a post that Firefox had caused the problem for one person. I went in and did as was suggested and completely removed Firefox and all associated files. Unfortunately, this worked. I haven't had any more trouble with windows explorer restarting. My big problem is, however, I can't run Firefox!!! And I LOVE Firefox!!! It's spoiled me! I hate Internet explorer, which is what I'm forced to run now. I've tried Safari and Google Chrome and don't like either one of those, either. I want my Firefox back! But if it's not working 100% it's less frustrating to be forced to live with the Internet Explorer. I'm going insane, here! Does anyone have any suggestions? I tried clearing out browser history, changing download files and a couple of other things and nothing worked with the Firefox to get it going better before I started having the Windows Explorer difficulty and had to completely erase the Firefox program. If I've missed any info, please don't hesitate to ask!! I'm happy to supply whatever I know about the issue!!
uninstalled firefox ....deleted all files still remaining under mozilla firefox directory in program files ... to avoid having to reprogram all my settings, reisntall all addons as well .. I did not remove anything from mozilla firefox that is stored in either appdata or under the windows users directory (if any)
... the as suggested reinstalled the latest version of the firefox browser using the link you provided in the email ..; tested and several issues still remain present and unresolved ....
so please this is urgent or I will have to jump browsers and start using chrome .. because we work 14 hours a day 6 (sometimes 7) days a week, to get ready for the launch of our newest venture and we cannot lose that much days on browser related issues ... so please instead of putting me through week long step process .. of do this .. do that .. can you please actually look into the issue from your end .. I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert
