IPod Touch unable to connect to internet?

So I have an iPod Touch 3rd generation. It's all updated and I've had no problems with it until last night. My internet cut out for at least 20 minutes and was very touchy for another hour or two after that, but it eventually started working again and everything but my iPod was able to reconnect. The iPod is updated to the current version and I haven't needed or done any recent updates for this to be the issue. It was working completely fine until my internet cut out and now it just seems to not connect to any network at all. I've already tried forgetting network, turning it off and on again, resetting network settings and restarting my router. I've ran out of ideas. Is anyone else having this problem or have any ideas as to what the problem could be? Would be much appreciated!

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
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 and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

IPod Touch unable to connect to wireless network.

I just got an iPod Touch 4 for my birthday (w00t), however I cannot seem to get it to connect to my wireless router. Everytime I try, it says Unable to connect to network. I reset the routers password, but it didn't do anything. I saw in other threads people said to switch ti WPA security, but mine is already set as WPA Personal. I'm not sure what to do! Please help!

NO I did not and thank you very much for the advice. My problem was stated incorrectly in that while I am able to connect to the wireless from that point on I am unable to connect to the internet. I will check the article referred to.

Ipod Touch Won't Connect to Internet Since Using Airport Home Network

I searched the site, but can't find anything that helps (or that I can really understand). I previously had no problems with my Ipod Touch using my home internet via wi-fi. Ever since I upgraded to the newest airport, my ipod won't connect, and I've tried just about everything, but nothing works.
I also have an old PC Laptop that used to connect, but it won't connect to the internet either since I got the new airport.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Ipod touch - won't connect to internet

alrighty. i have an ipod touch 4th gen. this morning it worked fine, it connected to my router, and i was able to access the internet and do everything i usually do. i disconnected my ipod from my router so my dad could run a speed test for me. when i went to re-connect, i ran into problems. i can access my network, and i have full signal, but i'm not getting to the internet. all the laptops in the house are fine, other ipods connect, just not mine. it's not a problem with the password or anything like that. i've reset my router, and i've reset network settings on my ipod. help???

It helps a little bit. I managed to bring up the information page for my router and I can see the IP address information and Subnet Mask info etc, but I have no idea what to put in the router box on the iPod or the DNS box. It lists DNS as being 0.0.0.0.0, surely this can't be right? I am so confused.

IPod Touch apps wont connect to internet

I have had this problem for awhile and it's about time I ask for some help on how to fix it. I have an 8GB iPod Touch 2 Gen with Version 4.2.1 installed. My iPod works fantastic except for one error, the internet. Until about 5 minutes my internet on Safari would never load, applications that require internet would never load, and the app store would load randomly but I could never download an app. I fixed the Safari and AppStore problem by simply changing my WPA to WPA2 but the applications still do NOT load. I have one app called iFunny which is a photo sharing app and I am able to recieve the images being uploaded to the app but I am unable to sign in using a Facebook account on the same application. I tried an app called AppTrailers, it does not even load, but a similar app, AppNana, works perfectly fine.
I know this is a weird problem but I would like to find an answer and hopefully you guys can help me out.
Any ScreenShots needed can be provided.
Any additional information needed can also be provided.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I just had this problem today and did a quick fix. So here it is:
1. settings > general > reset > reset all settings > reset all settings ( of course, why would you put cancel. lol)
2. iPod should restart and enter in your info for the wireless network, and you should be able to get web pages on to the iPod now.
Anymore questions?

Ipod touch 4g wifi connected, no internet

My new ipod touch 4g connects to my router, but, most of the time, no apps are able to access the internet (except for mail updating gmail consistently?). My ipod's wifi seemed to work fine at a couple of friends' houses over the course of a few hours, so I suspect a compatibility issue between my ipod and my router at home. Has anyone experienced similar issues? Any suggestions?
Here are some details:
netgear wgr614 v6 router
-most recent firmware
-wpa encryption
-using standard dhcp configuration
-works with laptop
-tried changing wifi channels
-tried power cycling router
-have not tried removing encryption, but this is a poor solution; I shouldn't need to sacrifice security.
ipod touch 4g
-current iOS version
-sees networks
-connects to networks okay
-seemed to work properly for a few hours each spent at two different friends' houses (each with different model routers)
-sometimes wifi works fine for a few minutes (a couple times longer? watched 15 minutes of a netflix movie (ended on purpose)), but more often:
-mail always seems to update (gmail)
-safari address bar turns about 5-10% blue, then times out
-facebook news feed will say "updating..." for a long time (until I quit the app) and not complete
-netflix app hangs at title screen, with the circular loading animation swirling indefinitely
-speedtest.net app shows a ping between 100-250ms (fine), download 4-10Mbps (fine), but sometimes upload at 0 Mbps (uhoh!)
-after further testing, problem still exists even when upload is normal (about .4 mbps)
-netstat app shows various tcp connections from multiple 192.168.1.* iPod IPs (this is okay, a result of renewing lease on wifi connection), not much helpful here
-app store will hang on "loading"
-throughout all of this, the wifi signal strength symbol is present in the upper status bar (where the battery indicator is) with 2 or 3 bars
-tried renewing wifi lease
-tried "forgetting" and reconnecting to wifi
-tried toggling airplane mode and wifi (radio power)
-tried reseting network settings
-tried reseting ipod
-tried power cycling ipod

You're right, the router is old, but it doesn't show any other signs of failure. It handles a wired desktop and ps3 as well as a wireless laptop with no trouble.

TS1398 New Ipod touch 4 not connecting to internet although wifi is connected

My daughter's new Ipod touch 4 will not connect to the internet. It previously did but now Safari is saying it is not connected to the internet - although it is connected to the wifi network fine, and my older Ipod which is sitting right next to it is working without any problem.
Any hints?

IPod touch will not connect to internet

This afternoon my iPod touch stopped connecting to Linksys. It shows the wireless connection, and tries to connect. All other devices in the house are connecting (including the Apple devices such as desktop and iPad).
I went into setting and did a general reset, and have also turned wi-fi on and off, and tried forgetting and re-starting the Linksys signal. So far there has been no change. Any ideas??
Thanks!

Does the iPod connect to other networks?

Ipod Touch "Unable to connect"

Apple says I need to disable my passcode for my internet service. She says it will allow me to connect to my wi-fi easier...
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
When I go to wi-fi I get many networks...if I click on mine - unable to connect but if I click on anyone elses it asks for the passcode...
I have been at this for hours!
Apple says call Verizon and Verizon says call Apple - I have done this now 3 different times
Please help me!

you need to get the WEP Key code from the sticker on your router and remember that all apple products use lower-case letters in the passcode (WEP KEY), and use zero's ( 0 ), not capital O. Then you may need to, instead of just trying to connect to your network, go to 'create a new network' and enter all info there to build the new connection, remembering that you are using dhcp. Or you may be able to, after clicking on your network, find out how to enter your security code (WEP KEY) (passcode).
If you disable your passcode then anybody can use your wireless network

IPOD touch won't connect to internet - like many others on this forum

I updated my IPOD the other day. Since then it won't connect to the internet. The wifi signal is still being shown, and my pc is using the wifi with no problems. There seems to be a few other people on this forum with exactly the same problem. I've done absolutely everything on the Support page to try to solve this problem, I've reset the Network settings at least twice. Can anyone help? Is there maybe a problem with the most recent Update? If so, what are Apple doing to sort it out? Thanks to anyone who can help.

Some background might help:
- What make/model router are you using?
- Does your router have the latest firmware? (Check the manufacturer's support web page)
- What security type are you using? (None, WEP, WPA, WPA2)
- Does your router use DHCP?
- Have you tried powering off and restarting the router?
If you are connected to the router but can't access the internet then the possibility exists that the DHCP service in your router is not giving you a local network IP address.
To check on this go to:
*Settings > WiFi >* +your network name+
and press the ">" to the right to bring up the connection details.
Report all that you see. If the IP address starts with 169 then the router is not giving a local network IP address and you will not be able to access the internet.

What do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet

what do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet. i have contacted apple support and they said to change from wep to wpa2 but when i change it to wpa2 and type in password and connect on my laptop it says the saved setting on this computer for the network do not match the require ments of the network

My 2nd gen works fine with WPA2 and AES encryption.
You may need to go back and start over. Reset the router back to factory defaults, log on as the admin, set up security, DHCP, and make sure the IP address pool has enough IP addresses to lease to ALL of the computers/devices that will connect to that the router.

I tried connecting my Ipod Touch 5th generation to the internet via ad-hoc from my windows 7 laptop. My iPod was connected to the internet but just in a moment. Then it disconnects. would someone help me?

I tried connecting my Ipod Touch 5th generation to the internet via ad-hoc from my windows 7 laptop. My iPod was connected to the internet but just in a moment. Then it disconnects. I tried so many other option such as creating another ad-hoc from other laptop but still the same result. Is there something wrong with my iPod? this is so frustrating. I've been using ipod touch 4th gen before I got the 5th and connecting to the internet via ad-hoc was never a problem for me. Would someone help me?
