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 help

Hi 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.

  • Ipod sayd connected, but doesn't work.

    My brand new Ipod touch says that is connected to wifi, but when ever I try to get on Safari, It says, "Safari canot open the page because it is not connected to the internet." What do I do?

  • 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..............

  • My FaceTime on my iPod Touch 5th gen doesn't work.

    It rings and when I go to answer it, it just says 'connecting' but doesn't actually let me on to the call itself. Why might this be?
    I have tried calling my boyfriend several times and he has tried calling me (we both have 5th generation iPod touches) but when we answer them, it just says 'connecting' but doesn't let us on to the actual call.

    Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Some users have reported that Apple is aware of the issue. You can leave feedback for Apple at the link below.

    Then re-connect to WifI by setting it up again.

  • 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

  • HT1923 The sync function on my iPod Touch 3rd generation doesn't work properly.  My OS is up to date, but some of my podcasts won't transfer onto the iPod, and it won't delete ones I've already listened to.

    The sync function on my 3rd gen iPod Touch doesn't work properly.  It won't sync all the podcasts I've downloaded, and it won't delete ones I've listened to and deleted on iTunes.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • The screan on my ipod touch 2nd generation doesn't work anymore. I tried restoring it and all but it didn't help at all

    What should i do?

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. I would say not worth it for a 2G
    Apple - iPod Repair price                       
    A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more. Again may not be worth it.

  • Ipod touch syncs but doesn't show in itunes

    My iPod Touch syncs when first connected.  But then it doesn't show up in the iTunes menu under devices anymore.  Apple troubleshooting takes me in circles.

  • Ipod Touch, Notes App doesn't Work?

    The Notes App on my 1st generation Ipod touch doesnt work. When I open it up, it shows all my notes but I when I try to create a new note and click "done" it goes right back to the main screen. When I try to view my previous notes, their all mixed up. When I try to delete a note, it goes right back to the main screen.

    The solution can be quite "devastating", if you have a lot of data on your iPod touch. So... do the restoration from iTunes. After the installation, iPod will connect to iTunes, and there is a screen asking if you want to make this iPod a "new" one, or restore your previous setting on there. Choose the "new" option, which is the first choice. Obviously, you will lost all the data if you have a lot. It is an absolute clean slate. and notes will work again.
    Just a note for people who's updating to iSO 3.0: delete all the notes you have before updating. I think the file registration for the notes are all massed up after update.

  • IPod Touch 4g Camera doesn't work

    Hey Guys,
    My iPod touch camera app opens but stays on the shutter and doesn't move. I can click on the bottom left corner and view my pics but other than that, nothing seems to function. I also noticed that the slider that switches from picture mode to video mode flashes a bit. If i leave the app alone for around 1 minute, it just crashes and takes me back to the home screen. I have tried the 4 Rs but nothing is working. Does anyone know the reason and/or have the fix for this problem?
    Thanks

    I am having the same problem . Worked at first ... now can only review video/photos with no camera function. I have updated - ios software.. please help!

  • IPod Touch: Internal Speaker doesn't work

    Hi,
    My iPod Touch was replaced ~6 months ago bec. the internal speaker was bad. This new one, though, the internal speaker doesn't work at all (except for the Clock/Alarm tones). The vol. button says "Headphones" on screen when you change the volume, whether or not the Headphones are plugged in. I've tried turning off and other things I've seen but no clear answer. Is there a fix for this?

    Have you tried restoring it?
    Can be a Hardware problem, go to the nearest Apple Store and see if they can fix it

  • Since latest update, Sound Check on Ipod touch and Iphone doesn't work.

    My playlists have always played at an even volume before Sunday's software updates to Itunes, Ipod touch, and Iphone.  Now my playlist volumes are all over the map.  I teach a fitness class in a large room to 70 people, and this is ruining it!!  Apple support on the phone told me it should work.  Yes, it did work until the update, and I didn't change anything until I noticed it wasn't working anymore.
    Now I have uninstalled/reinstalled Itunes, restored my Ipod Touch as a new Ipod, and even deleted and reloaded my music.  Still not working!!!

    Just a stab in the dark, but check:
    Settings -> WiFi -> (your WiFi network) -> HTTP Proxy
    Set the Proxy to Auto and see if that helps.
