IPod Touch wifi print server?

Hi, just got an iPod Touch and I love it. I brought it to work today and the wifi connections are all locked except for one. Its called "print server", should I be able to access the internet through a print server? It does not work when I try to open safari, e-mail, youtube, etc. The wireless icon is shown and says I have full service. Thanks for any help!

A print server is usually dedicated to service a printer or printers on an internal network. You cannot access the internet through it under normal conditions. If you tap the blue > next to the network name, you will probably see a 169.x.x.x IP address which is a self assigned address when a valid IP address is not assigned.
If you really want to connect to your work network, you will need to get the specifics from your IT admin.

Ipod touch wifi not as good as before

my ipod touch wifi cant get the internet from across the hallway, but it used to get it from a block away. I tryed all of the things on YouTube, but none of them worked. Please Help!

Did you try:
resetting the iPod?
Resetting network setting?
Restoring the iPod from backup?
Restoring the iPod to factory defaults?

Ipod touch wifi range

why is my ipod touch wifi range reduced after upgrading to ios 5.0

I noticed the same thing with my iPod Touch 4gen. when I updated to ios 4.3.1. I just installed 4.3.2, and its too early to tell. I made a change on my router which seemed to improve connection reliability, but not every router has this setting. The setting is "Interference Mitigation" which was set to Auto. I was told that changing it to None can improve connection reliability. Sounds counter-intuitive, but it seemed to help.

How do I print to a wifi print server

How can I print on a wifi network. I have a printer connected to a wifi print server, but cannot see the server from my iPad.
ANy help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Andrew.

The printer must be AirPrint compatible in order to print to it directly. AirPrint compatible printers are listed. Here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
There are some apps that work in conjunction with your computer and others that might work with your printer. Look for these in the app store.
The is also a product called XPrintServer that connects to your network and allows the iPad print supposedly to any printer on that network.

Ipod touch wifi help

I bought my i pod touch on the 13th and i am having problems connecting to wifi. Whenever i do get connected and i go to safari or youtube it says cannot connect. if it helps i have a link sys wireless g router. I also have th 22 letter encryption code that i put in correctly with capital and lower case letters using the arrow on the bottom left corner of th i touch

OK - so we know it's not an issue with the iPod Touch... that's a good start. Have you tried turning off the encryption on your network and retrying?
If you get a message that says "Safari can't load the page because it can't find the server" try resetting your network settings on the iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings), then powercycling your router (turn it off, wait 10 seconds, turn it back on) and then try to reconnect to your network.

IPod Touch WIFI problems

my iPod touch 16GB has had WiFi problems for about
two weeks now.
it says that im connected to my network. but i keep getting an error saying
"safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding"
help?

I just solved this same issue by downloading a firmware update for my wireless router. Give it a shot!

Ipod touch WiFi problems to be fixed in 3.0 Firmware?

Basically, I bought my ipod touch brand new about a month ago (2G, 2.2.1 firmware). Ever since I opened it (approx. 2 weeks ago) the WiFi has been pretty sketchy. I get an error "server stopped responding" a lot (maybe like 2-8 mins of browsing) on safari as well as apps.
I took my problem to the apple store and the guy basically did a diagnostic and said nothing was wrong, but my apps were crashing a lot. He did a complete wiping of the hard drive (back to factory with all of my apps gone and stuff) and basically It still doesn't work right.
So, Should I go back to the apple store? Or, Are these problems planned on being fixed in the 3.0 Firmware? If you have any other solutions please let me know

Welcome to Apple Discussions
3.0 is supposed to have some WiFi fixes - I'll let you know in a week or so. However, your problem with WiFi is most likely a router or DNS problem. The router part is easy - just reboot it by unplugging it and then plug it back in. DNS problems are an ISP issue and if that is what is going on, you should notice the same type of lag with your MacBook.
Fixing DNS problems are reasonably easy. Check out OpenDNS.com which will provide you with both instructions and an alternate to your ISP's service.
App problems can be caused by many things, including the app itself. What the Genius did for you at the Apple store was to restore you iPod to new. You can download your apps again without having to pay for them.

IPod Touch wifi exchange mail troubles

Hi
I have a iPod touch 32Gb with 3.1.2 firmware and I am having trouble with the wifi. The exchange mail works fine and dandy until I put my works proxy details into the wifi config. Once the settings are put in the exchange mail doesnt work !!
When I had my old iPod touch with 2.2.1 everything worked like a charm..
Any ideas ??
P.S Also my iPhone does the same
Many Thanks in advance

I got mine working finally. It turned out to be a problem on the Exchange end. My account had an alias. The long ID I normally used was different than the account ID.
As for iPod configuration, I ended up using the Exchange Account set up. Everything was pretty much the basic stuff. The only thing I had to watch out for in the Advanced tab was the port setting. Our outgoing server used a different port than the Apple default. I didn't have to touch the IMAP Patah Prefix. Also, does your Exchange server require IMAP over SSL? If so, is that certificate valid?

IPod Touch - WiFi - SSID Broadcast Works/SSID No Broadcast Doesn't Work

This is maddening in so many different ways:
I have two (2) 2nd Generation iPod Touch 8Gb products. Both are nearly identical in every way -- how they connect, OS, Library, similar Apps (but not the same all the time), etc.
iPod Touch "A" works flawlessly. No issues, no problems, no complaints
iPod Touch "B" started behaving badly by first loosing my WPA security but recognizing my home network. Strong password creation was a hassle but I got cleaver. Over time, it got worse to the point that it would not even recognize the existence of my 802.11g home network.
CAVEATS 1) We live in a rural area and on my property, not another network can be found. 2) Plenty of 2.4 Ghz stuff around including other wireless computers but... 3) This is my profession and I am flummoxed but have ideas....
FINDINGS: 1) iPod "B" works fine in the public space. All wireless networks work just fine and dandy. 2) I turn on my home network SSID BROADCAST and this iPod works fine (after being set up again). 3) Turn off SSID Broadcast and once this iPod sleeps or is turned off/on, no more network but go to any place that has a public broadcast SSID and no security and it's fine again... 4) No matter what I have and what I do, iPOD "A" works flawlessly.
WHAT I HAVE DONE: 1) made sure that I have plenty of DHCP scope -- yup. 2) Checked my leases - when connected I see perfectly valid MACs and leases without incident. 3) Check for overlapping or conflicts in IP Address allocation and MAC addresses (you never know...) - no problems there. 4) Quadruple checked "A" vs. "B" settings -- identical. 5) Dumped the entire flash and OS and started with a clean slate -- same issues with no apps, music, photos, movies -- nada... just a raw iPod like it came out of the box... same problem 6) Asked Apple to replace it as it's under warranty -- done. 7) Started testing again as a clean slate and found that it worked... replacing the iPod did the trick...
So, I "RESTORE" the iPOD to garner all the hard work that was put into it -- contacts, settings, etc. I "SYNCH" the iPOD to recover my angel's precious photos, apps, movies, music.... I return it back to it's originally desired state EXCEPT that one must completely reconfigure things like networking by hand -- OK.
It's back to normal, as desired, in the configuration we want and it WORKS!!!! Albeit... only for a day... and now we are back to where we started -- again...
iPod "A" works flawlessly and the new "B" is back to it's same old tricks --
OK - What does a restore do anyway? Is there some small pile of firmware that writes over the fresh load from OS? In order to preserve my contacts and other things a restore supports, did I uncover the super secret bug that Apple will refuse to acknowledge? Can I still say that I hate iTunes without being flamed a thousand deaths? Is there a diagnostic easter egg I can try?
And before I started this soliloquy -- I watched my functioning iPod "B" go to sleep with a working home network... only to wake her from her slumber... tuned out - with Not Connected living in her Wi-Fi field.... <sigh - simply maddening>
The only thing that sets these two apart are the nuances associated with configs that are part of the user's own personal interface desires and resident app input (contacts, calendar, etc...).

First off -- thank you all for replying and providing your insight, stories, and findings with your own iPod Touch, MAC, and iPhone WiFi fun...
You are all wonderful contributors.
Just to be clear, as others have mentioned -- this is not a feature and we should not have to tolerate it. This iPod, like the other one and yours too, once worked flawlessly and then continued to degrade to a point of not functioning according the 802.11g ieee standard. Something that has been in development for over 10 years and has been an adopted standard in consumer electronics for more than 7 years -- an eternity in this industry.
To be clear, I performed TWO ultimate resets -- completely wiping the firmware and OS of the original hardware and tested a completely wiped iPod Touch to no avail and the second "reset" was a brand new replacement -- right out of the box -- under warranty. No network resets necessary. The new iPod worked as expected without any original data loaded. Once a backup was "restored," and the iPod was synch'd with the library of choice, then the troubles started again. The networking does not restore -- you have to build a secure network from scratch. And again, the "A" iPod exhibits none of this odd behavior.
It is a testament that Apple has a problem in code when other iPods running similar OS behave the same. The reason that I mention the geeky standard above is because we should not have to broadcast our SSID for this to work -- it's an open standard, not something proprietary. We should not have to conform to "work around" solutions. And, yes, NOT broadcasting SSID is part of the entire package of sound security. I have to strongly disagree with all the nay-sayers. You don't go walking around the streets with money hanging out of your pockets or your wallet sticking out of your shirt pocket for a reason -- but I bet that you have cash on you and I can find it pretty quickly. It's why purse snatching is a crime of violence and rampant in larger cities and pick-pockets use finesse. One is easy pickings for anyone to try and the other requires tools and skills. If you don't flaunt it, the low level threat is removed.
As for strong security, the option for WEP is not an option. I use multiple levels of acceptable stronger encryption, logging, limited DHCP scopes, MAC controls at times, stateful firewall controls, and other radio tricks of the trade. My only failings is having to pander to the lowest common denominator within my home network.
Anyway, I spent a bit more time surfing and find this problem ubiquitous in 2.2.1 and forward. Something is amiss at Apple. All my Window based products work just fine (as does my Wii).
Keep those cards and letters coming folks.

1st gen iPod touch wifi connection issue, grayed out wifi area in settings

I have a first generation iPod touch and I'm having difficulty connectiong to wifi. It tells me there is "no wifi" and the wifi area in settings is grayed out. I have never encountered this problem in the seven months I've owned this device. My wifi is currently being used by the other three devices that normally share it with my iPod, and they're running just fine as usual. I've already tried restoring my iPod, as well as updating my iTunes to the newest possible software, then restarting the computer. I've looked through all of Apple's troubleshooting guides, to no avail. Any tips from people who've had the same issue or actually understand technology? All help is greatly appreciated!

IPod Touch WIFI Signal Fluctuates After Upgrading to iOS4

I upgrade to iOS4, and now my iPod Touch 3rd gen's WIFI signal fluctuates now matter how close I am to my Airport. I can be right next to the Airport and the signal will go back and forth from one bar to three bars. Never happened with OS 3.1.3.

For those having Wi-Fi issues... What level of encryption are you using on your routers? And is your router at full power? I'm not really having any Wi-Fi issues, I'm using WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] and I switch my router to full power after I started having the iOS4 batter problem. (it was on "Neighbor Friendly" Mode). I was worried that a weaker signal would contribute even more to the already existing battery drain and I'm figuring that having the encryption on the highest level is also affecting the battery as well, but I haven't tested the difference.
Using WEP + hidden SSID at home (I have some devices that choke on WPA). Open WiFi access with authentication at work. Router signal boosted from 42mW to 70mW using Tomato firmware.
Also, if you're using a Pre-N router, disabling "Neighbor Friendly" mode means you're using a ton of 2.4GHz channels. This prevents any neighbors near your home from using WiFi, because you've stolen all of the available channels. I had to set up my sister-in-law on Wireless-A, because her backyard neighbor hates her, and turned off "Neighbor Friendly" mode on his router. What a pain.

Two easy things to try (assuming you have the wireless icon at the top left of the screen):
1. When you get home, go to Settings > WiFi and turn off WiFi. Wait a few seconds and turn it back on. Try Safari then.
If that doesn't do it,
2. Open WiFi and tap on the right arrow next to your network name. Tap on DHCP, scroll down and tap on Renew Lease.
If you don't have the WiFi connected signal, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings and tap that. AFter your Touch returns to normal, log into the network.

Ipod Touch-WIFI Problems-Can't Connect More than One at Same time

I'm not an Ipod Touch user yet, but three family members are. Unfortunately, only one will connect to the Internet on our home wifi at a time. Each one works just fine on its own and will make the connection, but if one is already turned on it blocks the others. I have a laptop and it connects fine regardless of the Ipod Touch issues. I'm using a Linksys router if that matters. Looked everywhere but can't find someone experiencing similar issues. Thanks for any ideas/thoughts/help!

Take a look at your router's settings for DHCP. Normally there is range associated for the allocation of IP addresses for wireless devices. For example, you would set DHCP to on, IP address range from 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.128. The normal defaults on the router should have given you an adequate range of address but you may have inadvertently changed something.

Connecting to shared iTunes via iPod Touch wifi connection

I was wondering if there was a way for me to connect to my shared iTunes music from my iPod Touch (IE in another room, NOT connected to a computer). I would assume that since my iTunes is shared over my wifi connection, and my iPod Touch connects over the same wifi, it would let me do this, but I can't find anything to support this evidence. I'm probably wrong.
If anyone has an answer, let me know! Thanks.

This assumes that you use the Ethernet port to connect the iMac to the Internet:
Navigate to  menu > System Preferences... > Sharing > Internet section. Switch on Internet Sharing and choose "Sharing your connection from": "Built-in Ethernet". To computers using "Airport".
To secure the connection (highly recommended) go to  menu > System Preferences... > Sharing > Internet section. Click on "Airport Options..." and check "Enable encryption (using WEP)". Then enter a password twice. You will need to enter this password to share your connection, although you should be aware even 128bit WEP isn't all that secure.
Additionally OS X IP firewall is probably blocking incoming Port 80 requests (i.e. web traffic).
Go to  menu > System Preferences... > Sharing > and under Services check "Web Sharing".
The wording in this post is for Leopard (10.5).
