IPod Touch suddenly no longer can connect to Wireless Network.

Hello, I have yet to find an answer to my problem so maybe you guys can help.
I have had my iTouch for at least 2 years and have never had a problem with it, and constantly used it to connect to the wireless network in our home.
However, starting two days ago, my iTouch can rarely detect the network (even when right next to the router) and if it does, it is unable to join because it loses the signal almost immediately. After much troubleshooting, (laptops connect fine, friends iTouch's connect fine) I have determined that something is wrong with mine.
The only thing I can think of that happened that day, was that night it had gotten extremely cold. (Montana, oh yay.) Could this have caused the malfunction?
Any insight would be appreciated!

Given that it got really cold and you brought it inside, condensation could have formed on the inside bits. Dump it in a bag of rice or a jar with those silica gel packages for a couple of days and see what happens.
If you still have problems connecting, try power cycling your router and resetting your touch's network settings.

  • My ipod touch suddenly stopped charging when connected to my iHome audio system.

    My iPod touch suddenly stopped charging when connected to my iHome audio.  I downloaded the newest update to iTunes and then when I plugged my iTouch into my iHome a message popped up that said the iPod touch was unable to charge on the device.

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod and dock for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Contact iHome. Maybe there is a firmware update for the dock. Sometimes an iOS update breks compatibility. However, sometimes the following works
    - 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.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

    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.

  • New iPod Touch 2nd gen unable to connect to my network

    Please let someone on here be able to help me... please. Dx
    I just got my new iPod touch today, plugged it in, put some music on it, tried to connect to my network after it picked it up... and... it won't connect.
    I've tried everything I can think of! It wasn't encrypted before, so I encrypted it. I tried using WPA, WEP, and WPA 2... NONE OF THEM WORK.
    I've tried resetting, banging my head against the wall, resetting the network settings on my iPod... everything I can think of.
    Is there a way to fix this? Please say yes.
    Ugh.
    One other thing, when I turn it on, go under the network and go under more info or whatever (the blue arrow) under DHCP no IP address shows up. Is that normal?
    No, I haven't tried another network yet.
    And I am entering the right password for the network.

    Yes, Grace, there are fixes for this. Unlike some people who think there is a "bug", I think you can get this connected.
    Router: Check your router for the following settings:
    DHCP- On
    MAC filtering - off
    SSID - on
    Encryption - set it to WPA or WPA2 (note, these are not turned on by default)
    DNS - obtain from ISP automatically
    On the iPod side:
    Go to the network connection you have, tap on the blue arrow, tap on forget this network.
    Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings and do that.
    After your iPod restarts, go to WiFi and type in your Network name. Chose the encryption that matches what is setup on your Router, enter your password. (Note: if you choose WEP, choose 128 bit and enter the hexidecimal key when if prompts for a password)
    If you have successfully logged in, you will have a check mark next to your network name. Tap on the blue arrow and look at your settings. You should have your Touch's IP address, subnet mask for the network, the router IP address, and the DNS address(es).

    Hello,
    My ipod touch is acting up. The screen says that it is connected to to the wireless and it has a signal but when I open the Safari(Internet) app it will not open and will only open to google. My regular internet is working fine. Can any of you help me? Please and thank you.

    While I have no experience with this product, I do encourage you to view the manufacturers support page for further troubleshooting assistance.

  • PCs suddenly no longer see Airport Express wireless network - please help!

    Hi,
    I am new to this forum and I need help. Two days ago - without me making any changes to settings etc. my Airport Express wireless network at home was no longer visible to any of my devices except to the Powerbook (G4 OS 10.3.9) which controls it. From one second to the next two Vista laptops and my cell phone (Nokia, Symbian OS).
    My Powerbook has no problem connecting through AE to the internet. The two laptops are both able to connect to other wireless networks so they don't seem to be the problem. I just don't understand what caused this sudden drop-off/invisibility.
    I have already tried the following: resetting the base station, changing the channel on the base station (from automatic) removing the network security altogether (from WPA2). But none of the devices except the powerbook can now see or detect my network.
    Please - if anyone knows what the cause of this problem could be or how to fix I would be very grateful!!

    you name it : com.apple.airport.adminutility.plist
    delete it and do as advised.
    This isn't harmful, because it is only a preference list, so it will be created brandnew as soon as you re-setup the Airport stuff.
    Mac OS X ( especially Jaguar ) has a tendency to corrupt some plists out of the blue, it is more or less harmless and can be fixed with recreating them plus permissions-repair.
    Hint : repair permissions more than one time, it ALWAYS finds something to fix in Jaguar.
    You cannot destroy something with these actions, because it is Unix maintance so usual routines.
    A tool like cocktail or Onyx ( google them, onyx is freeware ) can help you run such ( and more ) routines on a scheduled base.
    Always remember that OS X is no longer "the Mac OS", it is Unix with a nice Desktop, the critical things run hidden in the background, so it has to be treated like any Unix/Linux sort of OS, even if from the outside everything looks nice and kosher..

  • IMac can connect to wireless network automatically

    All of a sudden, my mac won't automatically join my wireless network. I can find the network easily and connect to it, but it doesn't connect automatically like it used to. This seems odd as iphones have no problem finding the wi fi network and connecting. This seems to have cropped up after I added another user account, but that may be totally unrelated. Any ideas how to fix this? Let me know if there are more details I can provide. Thanks.

    I've had this same thing for months now and I have no idea why. I do know that it started right around the time that I upgraded my iMac to Snow Leopard, but laptop (Pro) is still just regular old Leopard and it happens with it as well. I've tried everything - the approach in the previous reply to your question included - and have still had no luck. I tried all the old (2008, etc.) apple discussion forum stuff too. No joy. Please let me know if you figure it out because at this point in time I've tried everything I know. Granted, selecting a network every time I power up or wake a computer from sleep is not going to kill me, it's just....annoying.

  • WRT54G v6 - Can Connect to wireless network but can't access internet

    Ok, this is my last resort for help. I spent two hours yesterday with linksys "chat" support to no avail.
    First the techincal details:
    OS for all machines = Windows XP
    Laptop w/two adapters - one wired, one wireless
    WRT54G v6 upgraded with 1.00.9 firmware
    SpeedStream modem from DSL provider
    I have manually set the IP, subnet mask, gateway, primary and secondary DNS for my wireless adapter (using the Alternate Configuration in the Internet Protocol Properties of the Wireless Network Connection). When I connect to the wireless network I see that the IP, subnet, gateway and DNS server IPs are all correct (via ipconfig /all).  I see that I am connected to my SSID (11.0 MBps, signal strength Excellent) however I can't access web sites (the server not found message appears in the browser) nor can I ping the router IP or any other IP (LAN or WAN).
    My wired PC works fine with this router. My laptop works fine with this router when wired. 
    Anyone face a similar situation and have a solution?  Thanks.

    A new discovery...
    When I disable the wireless security on the router, I am able to connect to the wireless network, ping the router and access the internet.  So, there is apparently something wrong with the WEP security (although I am able to connect to the wireless network when WEP is enabled). 
    I am thouroughly confused. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

  • Can connect to wireless network run off dell router, but not internet!

    I have a iBookG4 and have moved to a new apt with a wireless network run off a dell router/ comcast. My roommates have both Macs and PCs and can connect with no problems. I found the network on my airport and put in the password, joined network no problem, but cannot connect to the internet. The Airport status is yellow and says that Airport has self assigned IP address and cannot connect to the internet. I can connect fine to other open networks in the area so its not my computer. I tried to copy the IP address from my roommate manually to the network settings but that didn't work either. What am I doing wrong? No one here seems to recall how they set up the network and I am paying for a network I can't access. Please help!!!

    Does the dell router have an access list set-up?
    With an access list (depending on the router) it can be set-up to allow access for only certain MAC addresses. If your MAC address isn't in the list, you'll not get on.
    Usually the router will have an IP address itself of 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.0.1 - depends on the router. You should be able to determine it from the IP address your computers are getting. Try getting someone to connect to this through a browser, and check/change the configuration of the router directly.

  • Can connect to wireless network but no internet?

    Ok, I'm sure this is answered somewhere, but I'm tired.
    At this point I'm not even sure if it can be done. But... I tried to connect to my mother's wireless internet using my Airport Extreme. I connected to the wireless but was unable to access the internet, or email. I tried manually setting the IP address, DHCP, router, DNS etc. But to no avail. It kept saying "Airport is connected to wireless ..., but it has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet". I got it to accept the new IP address and finally it said " Airport is connected to wireless..., and is connected to the internet" but I still could not get on. It does say on her computer that it is protected by a key. But I used her password to get on and it recognized it? But her password was not the key.
    I thought that I could connect to any wireless network with the password?
    Can this even be done?
    Thanks
    A

    Duane,
    Thanks for the response. I did not see anything about MAC filtering enabled. It did say encryption was enabled. All I foud was the IP address, router, DNS etc. It is a WEP password and it did accept the password to log on to the network. It's Time Warner and she has a PC. I tried everything, set up new location. I'm going to try to log on to my friends wireless network and see if I can do so there. If my memory serves me right, the last time I tried to log on to a wireless network it didn't work either. Also my mother does not know much about it, someone set it up for her and she is one to not understand these "new fangled things". So...

  • Can connect to wireless network but no internet access

    I have a PC that runs on Windows Vista and a wireless network using Airport Extreme. My PC can connect to the wireless network but I cannot access the internet. Windows Network Diagnostics states that 'A problem with your network router or broadband modem might be preventing an internet connection'. There should be no problem with my modem as I can access internet using my powerbook. When I run airport utility on my PC, there is an error message that states that 'An error occurred while trying to access the Apple wireless device. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again', 'error -6753'.

    I am glad you brought this up. I am having the same difficulty. I run an iMac OS X 10.5.6 with an intel processor and a parallel system to get me on the Windows side. When I try to access the internet using my Airport extreme I cannot access any sites and the internet explorer page pops up with "The page cannot be displayed and sends me to try the diagnose connection problems on the toolbar method. However I can see my base station and all looks fine with the information there. I can also access the internet from my mac side of the computer. It would be nice to use the Windows side to gain access to the net because I have programs for the windows side that need updating. Anyone out there have any suggestions?

  • Officejet 6600 All But One Laptop Can Connect To Wireless Network Printer

    One windows and 2 macs can connect to the wireless printer over the newtwork just fine  but one (Windows 7) will not. HP Print and Scan Doctor can discover the printer from that laptop as "visible"  but repeatedly says " need to install full software" which I've done, and after, it  runs install wizzard reports, the IP address I've entered is wrong, which it's not. Firewalls are off.  I've un and re installed, tried windows add device which can't connect either. I've had this problem before with this laptop but just can't remember how I fixed it. I remember getting to a screen that offered the option of installing over a nework or wireless directly to the printer and over the network fixed it, but I can't remember how I got there. Any ideas as I'm at wits end. Thanks

    Welcome to the forums @Davidchicago ,
    I read through your post about the installation troubles you are having with one of your Windows 7 computers and your Officejet 6600. I am here to let you know what my suggestion is for you!
    There could be a program blocking the installation and causing the problem. I'd recommend a Clean Boot, restarting your PC, disabling your firewall and running through the installation again.
    Hopefully that will get you through the install. Let me know the results!
    Have a great weekend

  • NB200 Can connect to wireless networks, but cannot connect to the internet

    I have been able to connect my Win XP netbook to my secure wireless network at home, other people's networks and public networks like the library and McDonalds. This week I'm away from home and discovered that while I can still connect to a number of different wireless networks, I cannot connect to the internet using Internet Explorer.
    I've had this problem once before and fixed it by reinstalling Windows XP and all my other software. I have no idea why it has happened again. I'm hoping for a less drastic solution to the problem..?

    Hi Nakia,
    > I cannot connect to the internet using Internet Explorer.
    Have you tested other browsers like Mozilla Firefox and does this work?
    As MasterG wrote try to renew the IP address using the commend line.
    Last week I had a similar problem and I could solve it by updating the WLAN driver. Just remove the driver, restart the notebook and install the newest one. :)

  • Can connect to wireless network but not to internet

    Ok, so I bought a new AEBS and have finally managed to get it set up with my cable modem, and with security on so that the light is green, and not amber... the only problem now is that although I can connect to the wireless network that i have created using the base station, I cannot connect to the internet through it using my MacBook.
    I don't have problem connecting my iMac to the net wirelessly using the base unit so am confused.
    Anyone got any ideas?
