Ipod touch says its connected to wifi but wont work? Help!

My ipod Touch 4th gen says its connected to wifi, but then wont work to any app involving wifi. We've had someone check out our Internet and our router and its fine. Every wifi needing device in the house works but not mine. Ive had my ipod for about 5 or 6 months and its never ever done this. it just stated not working yesterday. Thank you for all your help.

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 the 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.

My ipod touch says its connected to wifi.

My email and safari google work. However every other app says I'm not connected. I've reset the network settings, forgot and retyped my wifi password, turned it all the way off and on. Other devices work with wifi, this is just this device.

Try restarting your router by removing power to it for 30 seconds. This may correct the problem.

I have exactly the same with my iPad. All i have now is the connect to iTunes picture. I have run the diagnostics in itunes (under help menu) and it says that neither my phone or iPad are connectted yet they physically are. I have gone into device manager and it says there is a software connection problem. I am trying another pc to connect my pad. Update - connected ipad to my netbook with latest itunes version and it is carrying out the update. that means this laptop has a software comms problem with USB.

MacBook Pro says its connected to wifi but doesn't work(or goes super slow)when the wifi works for everyone else Help!

I have recently gotten a MacBook Pro (through my highschool so it is monitored by them) and ever since I brought it home it's been having wifi connection problems. It says the wifi is working fine, it shows full bars, but when I try to connect to the Internet it acts like there is only one bar or no bars. Although every one and a while I can get a great connection but it lasts for about 10 minutes. This I do not get because the wifi works perfectly fine for everyone else in the house and for our phones too. So if anyone else could help me I would be soo happy. Thanks.

I have had the same issue and searched the forums and found nothing that helped. I contacted apple support and this is what they told me to do:
First we’ll do the SMC reset
1.) Shut down the Mac and connect to power source.
2.) Unplug external devices, flash drives, external monitors, external HD (Keep the Mac plugged into power source)
3.) Hold down “Shift” + “Control” + “Option” (On the left side of the keyboard) + Power key for 30 seconds.
*The Mac should remain powered off during the reset, the LED on the MagSafe Adapter may change colors.
**The “Option” key is also known as the “Alt” key on some Macs.
Awesome, now let’s reset the NVRAM
1.) Locate these keys “Command”, “Option, “P” & “R”
2.) Power on your Mac
3.) Immediately press and hold all 4 keys “Command” “Option” “P” “R”
4.) Listen for 2 boot chimes and then release.
**The “Option” key is also known as the “Alt” key on some Macs.
Posting this here in the hopes that it will help someone else still searching for an answer.

My iPhone says its connected to wifi, but it won't let me text through iMessage

Ever since midnight or so last night I havent been able to FaceTime or iMessage anybody. I have tried to text some of my friends that have IOS devices but it keeps saying that they are unvailible even when they are. I can still surf the web and everything else but I cant FaceTime or iMessage. Can someone tell me *** is going on? It's really making me frustrated

Force the phone into recovery mode:
If you cannot turn off your phone using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When your phone turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons. Then, leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

My ipod touch won't connect to wifi at home and it use to, it keeps saying my password is wrong

My ipod touch won't connect to wifi at home, it use to work just fine, now it keeps telling me my password is wrong, but it can't be wrong because it is the same one I have always used. I also have an IPad2 that belongs to my daughter and it connects with our wifi at home with no problem. But, why is my wifi telling me that my password is wrong. I have tried everything, we have changed the pass word and that did not work. We have have taken security off of our wifi and my ipod touch give me another message, but it won't connect to my wifi at home. Please help... b/c the greatest thing for me is to be able to connect to wifi at home.
thanks

I have even shut down my ipod touch to see if it fixes the lack of wifi connection at home but it keeps telling me my password is wrong. I can connect everywhere else, but not at home. Pls help my..

Because we have an ipad2 and my ipod and up until 1 week ago, we had very little issues keeping both of our devices connected at home. Eitherway the ipad2 is still working just fine on our home wifi, but my ipod touch keeps refuseing to accept the password.
Pls help, i am very frustrated and I have tried everything.
