IPod Touch 3G Wifi Problem...says it is connected but doesn't work?
After my iPod connects to a network for wifi, it says that it is connected to that network, and the wifi symbol appears in the top left hand corner to show that it is connected. But, whenever I try to go to Safari or another app involving the internet, the iPod says "invalid argument" and the internet doesn't work at all. How do i fix this problem?
Have you tried the basic troubleshooting here?

First try:
- powering off and then a minute later power back on your router.
- Reset network settings on your iPod: Settings>General>Reset
- Resetting youriPod

It's not just iTunes you need to update...
You need to upgrade to Leopard v10.5.8 at the very least in order to sync, restore, and backup an iPod touch.
See iPod touch system requirements here.
Leopard is available from Amazon here. -
I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.0.2. my wifi says its connected but doesn't work now. It doesn't matter what wifi network I connect to. It worked before updating my phone. I can no longer use facetime or use wifi at all. I'm not sure what to do to fix it.
I'm having similar issues with my phone. I got my first iPhone recently, only had an iPod touch gen4 for a little over a year. Updated to 6.0.2 when we got the phone (iPhone 5) a few days before Christmas. When I got home on the evening of January 11, my phone would not connect the router anymore. I was able to get it to connect after resetting the phone and the router, updating the router, and manually connecting. That laste for a few minutes and then wouldn't work anymore. I live in an area with very limited service, we have a network extender installed to help, and I am barely getting a 3G signal at times.
My wife's iPad 4, my touchiPod 4, and all of our laptops are working just fine on the router. When I dropped my kid off at school today, I noticed that I am not even seeing the school network anymore from the parking lot where before I got 3 or 4 bars and could connect to their wifi when I was there. Today my phone goes back and forth between seeing my home network but not connecting, to not even seeing the network at all even from the same room that the router is in.
Hope Apple fixes this problem soon.............. -

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

we have lost an ipod touch over xmas, ive tried find my phone but it wont work as its run out of batterey and is off line . is there anything else i can do?
Not really
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then 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 unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

When I am connected to my home wifi, it says I am connected but the 4G icon doesn't go away. How can I make that go away when I am connected?
When I'm at my home, and on my Wifi, my 4G icon on my LG G2 is still present. No big deal. If the bits can flow via WiFi, that's what they'll do.
You might try (if you really MUST shut off the cellular radio):
Settings, Network Connections and More networks. Select Mobile Networks and uncheck Mobile data and data roaming.
Not sure if that will work - but give it a try. -
My wifi diagnostic says I am connected, but I cannot connect to the internet (safari), iCloud Mail, or any other sites. Help?
Power cycle (turn off and on) the router. In System Preferences -> Network, under WiFi does it say Self-Assigned IP Address? Click where it says location in the network's pane of WiFi, click edit location, click the plus icon and type 'test' and press done, then press apply on the next window. Click advanced then in the preferred networks tab, make sure your wifi network is at the top of the list, if it's not then drag it to the top, on the TCP/IP tab, click renew DHCP lease, on the DNS tab, click the plus icon at the bottom left, add two new dns servers: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, press OK, then press APPLY on the next window. restart the mac and see if it's fixed.

Iphone 4s wifi problems disconnecting and then connecting also doesn't load.
This is a Iphone 4s. So 2 days ago, my wifi kept greying out and every time it connects again to the internet it doesn't work and it also is very slow and then suddenly it disconnects, i have tried this and it is the same for every wifi connection. I have tried the trouble shooting steps, restored my iphone, restarted it, turned it on and off and it still doesnt help. I have recently read articles about people having the same problem as me because they updated there i os, but i dont know if i have the same problem or what. I have called up apple today and they said that my phone has expried from warrenty, so i need to try the trouble shooting steps but they won't work. Also, when I click on my wifi it says "unable to connect". Anyone suggest things i should do? Thnak you
Having this same issue. Went to the Apple store and called support numerous times ... Apple will not admit there is a problem and instead convienantly found that a water damage sensor in the earplug jack was tripped. Even though they took it apart and found no water damage sensors tripped internally, they basically told me my warranty was void. Apple is avoiding the issue with the WIFI on the iPhone 4s ..... sorry

IPod touch connects but doesn't work
My iPod touch tells me that it has three bars but it still cant load the internet??
please helpHi there "goonts",
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Now then, connecting to the internet is actually fairly straight forward, most people do it without really trying but it is very long winded to explain.
You haven't given much information in your post and I really don't want to start a thread of "to and fro" posts which starts something like -
Me - "is your router turned on?"
You - "What is a router?"
The fact you see "three bars" is a start but only means that your Touch is detecting a WiFi signal, not actually connected.
The best advice I can give at the moment is read through this post here -

Take your time and I'm sure you will be set up in no time.

Cannot browse web on ipod touch even though it says i am connected ??
ok so i got the ipod touch 4th gen 8gb for christmas and it was perfect for like 2 days, i was connecting to my cousins wifi home internet with no problems and going on safari and app store, now i am back home and the only internet i have is a laptop with a pay as you go modem which is fine and works perfect on the laptop.
so i tried setting up a ad hoc network on my laptop so i could connect my ipod to the internet and it actually worked pretty good at first !
but now i am connecting to the network on the ipod and it says i have full signal yet when i go on safari or app store an error pops up "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet"
hope som1 can PLEASE help ??
thanks**I have had my iPod Touch 3rd Generation 64gb for about a year. I went to stay at a hotel and I connected to their Wifi just fine. But, when I came back home the next day, my home Wifi wouldnt work. Previously, I had been connecting to my home Wifi, which it Linksys, just fine. When I came home, I "connected" to it again like normal, but then I went to Safari and it said*: +"Safari cannot open page because it is not connected to the Internet."+ *What really confused me is that up in the top left corner next to where it says "iPod" it shows the Wifi connected with full signal. My brothers have 3rd generation iPod Touches, also both 64 gb, and they are connecting to the home Wifi perfectly. I don't know if it was the hotel Wifi that somehow messed up my iPod, but it certainly isn't working at my house. I have restored my iPod, but i haven't yet "forgotten" the network or restarted my router. I have read other messages and that is what it seems like I should do. They have an apple store in my town and I am wondering if I should take my iPod there to see if I could get it fixed or replaced. I am just very glad that it seems like this is a common problem.*
*Thanks for reading and possibly trying to help in the future,*
