IPod Touch 4gen will not connect to wifi no matter what

My white 8gb iPod Touch 4gen will not connect to wifi, I have reset the network and the entire iPod. When I got it for Christmas 2011 it worked perfectly for a few months then all of a sudden it stopped connecting, every connection I try to connect it to says the same thing; unable to join network... I am getting fed up, my first gen iPod Touch will connect to the wifi no problem, but the thing is it keeps crashing. I can't use it for more than a couple of minutes and it goes back to the home screen. If anyone could help, it is greatly appreciated!

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 the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- 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.

    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.

    my iphone will not connect to wifi no matter what HELP

    Have you tryed to restore the iPhone too ?
    Restore the phone in iTunes using a backup, and if needed as a new iPhone, without using a backup.  However, the greyed out WiFi is often due to a hardware failure requiring replacement of the phone.

  • My ipod touch 4g will not connect to my computer. Its not even in the device manager

    My ipod touch 4g will not connect to my computer. Not to charge or connect to itunes. My usb ports work fine with everything else. I went and bought a new wall charger that came with a synce cord and it works fine, as a wall charger with wont work with my computer. Ive done the whole rebooting, re downloading itunes, redownloading apple software, the whole 9 yards.
    What exactly happens when I plug my ipod touch 4g up if it turns on like it suppose to but instead of going to the home screeen with the little lighting bult in the battery is just acts like its not even plugged in. It just goes to connect to itunes screen.
    I sent it to apple and they told me that whatever was wrong with it wasnt under warrenty but didnt tell me what it was. Ugh! It doesnt have water damage, I checked the indicators. So what do I do now? I would rather not go and get it fixed and spend 100 dollars. I would rather try and figure it out myself. Help please!

    From what Apple said it appears you have a hardware problem. I would either pay to get it fixed or make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and discus it with them.

  • Ipod touch 5g will not connect to home wifi

    Hello there! I have this problem where my ipod touch wil not let me connect to my home wifi. When I try to join, a message will pop up saying "incorrect password". I know for sure that the password is 100% right. My ipod touch had no problems connecting to the internet a few months ago, but lately many of the apps that required internet would not load even with 3 bars of signal. Therefore, this is when I decided to rest the network settings. Biggest mistake. Now it won't even let me connect to the internet. I have tried everything. Holding the home button and power button together until apple logo pops up. Updating the software to ios 6.1.3, physically turning my ipod on and off, even the modem and reseting the network settings on ipod.
    Will restoring my ipod back to factory settings work?
    Thank you! It will be appreciated.

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iPod connect before?

  • IPod touch (4g) will not connect to computer

    When I connect my iPod touch to any computer I get a pop up bubble saying USB device not recognized. I have uninstalled my drivers and re-installed them. I have reset my iPod at least 7 times and I have also erased everything and reset it to factory settings. I have uninstalled the apple software from my windows computer and reinstalled it so now I have the latest version of the software downloaded. The iPod is running iOS version 6.1.3. When I try to charge it does not say that it is connected and charging. It is supposed to make a connected sound and show a lightning bolt letting me know it's charging but it doesn't. Ive had to make sure that the battery is completely dead before the ipod will start to charge (still not notifying me I just leave it there and come back about 4 hours later and see it's fully charged). I have done everything I can think of and what people have suggested on other threads and nothing is working. My warranty is expired and I do not want to take it to Apple and pay $99 to get it fixed. Can anyone please help me?!

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. The appointment is free.

  • IPod touch 4g will not connect to lion

    Hi, I'm an iOS developer. I recently updated to 10.7.4, I was using Snow Leopard for development before updating. My problem is that when I plug my iPod touch to the Mac nothing happens at all. If i delete applemobiledevice.kext then the iPod will charge and image capture will open, but it will not show up under devices or iTunes. I've gone through the worthless trouble shooting steps. Even with applemobiledevice.kext I can see that the iPod is plugged in with system inforamation. Everything has the latest updates. I can use this iPod on windows machines as well as the windows I'm dual booting with on the same machine. It seems to me this problem is very much with OSX lion, not the iPod, the machine or the cable. Is there anything that can be done?

    I'd like to add that I still have this problem. Though if I create a virtual machine of OSX 10.7.0 under windows (running on the same machine, very redundant) that virtual machine has no problem using my iPod. This still does not solve my problem for obvious reasons, but again points to osx its self. Reinstalling osx, iTunes, ect. has no effect, there must be some file that isn't playing fair. Anyone have any insight? At this time I don't want to buy another Mac just to get around it seeing how common this problem is.

  • My iPod touch 4gen will not update to iOS5... I NEED HELP

    Everytime I go to update my 4g iPod tough, it tells me the network connection was messed with or lost. I check my internet and everything is okay, nothing is wrong with my connection to the internet or the connection between my iTunes and the iPod itself. I have no idea what to do and this is frustrating, because I need to update/restore my iPod, I've never done it before. Also, to get certain apps I need iOS5, HELP!

    Temporarily Disable or turn off your firewall and anti-virus software and try the download again.

  • I updated an iPod touch, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4 to iOS 6, and all of them now will not connect to WiFi. They all give this wierd 404 error page from Apple and insist that I need to login to the network. Bad job testing the software Apple.

    I updated an iPod touch, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4 to iOS 6, and all of them now will not connect to WiFi. They all give this wierd 404 error page from Apple and insist that I need to login to the network. What's the fix? None of the recommended fixes work in any of these devices. Reset device, reset network, renew lease, etc. None of them work.

    Does the iPod work OK?
    Does it charge when connect to the computer?
    Does it appear in My Computer?
    Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1

  • My 6 day old touch will not connect to wifi .

    My 5 day old touch will not connect to wifi. I have reset everything. Tried different networks.  I am willing to do a full restore but because I have no internet I can't turn "find my ipod off"
    It worked when I first opened it then it kept disconnecting. I reset "all network setting" and rebooted my router and it would connect.  Now it will not connect at all
    On my ipod it finds the network and when I try to put in password it say "incorrect password"

    Then restore the iPod using the following
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
