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 problem... Please Help :(

    Hi. Ive just recently started having trouble with my ipod touch. I cant stand more then 10 yrds away witout it detecting my wifi. All my other devices work fine. Ive tried reseting my ipods and making it back to its normal form and resetting the network and still no result. Ive also turned it off for a few mins and still no results . I recently did though get a little crack on my ipod touch maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago on the top left part of the screen I dont know if that has anything to do with it or what... Idk what I can do. Could someone give me some advice. Should I go to an apple store today? How much might it cost to get this fixed?

    Here is Apple's price list. I suspect a hardware problem and it may be related to what caused the cracked screen.

    You may find that a third-party place like the following is less expensive:

  • 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.

  • New Ipod Touch, WiFi problem.

    I just got my Ipod yesterday brought it home hooked up connected to my WiFi fine. Now today I keep getting "Unable To Join Network" message. I've checked a few sites to see what to do and am still getting the same error.
    Any help would be great as I have no idea what to do.

    But when I go back to home screen it says I'm connected to WiFi but browsers or nothing work still.
    That indicator only means your touch can connect to the router - not that the router has connected your touch to the Internet.
    Go to: Settings>Wi-Fi then touch the blue triangle to the right of the router you are connected to. What IP Address is shown? (If it starts with 169.xxx, the address is self assigned and the router hasn't connected to to the Internet.)

  • 3rd Gen Ipod Touch WiFi problems

    my brother has a 1st gen ipod and its wifi is working fine downstairs in our house, my new 3rd gen will not recieve a signal in the exact same place, any ideas?

    See:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    It is frequently a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    I would also try placing the iPod in a bag of uncooked rice for a couple of days to ensure the iPod is dry.

    My movie I recently downloaded from itunes "Act of Valor" only works for a out 5 chapters, then it stops working. Other movies work on my iPod touch. How do I fix this issue? If I can't, can I get my money back?

    - Go here and see if you can redownload the movies. If you can then delete the movie and redownlod it.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Otherwise, contact iTunes and explain your problem. They should allow a free redownload.

  • After purchasing songs at the itunes store, ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. Also a lock symbol is now on the ipod touch. How do I fix this

    After purchasing songs at the itunes store,  my ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. It won't send the purchases to the device and it won't synch any other music to the device. Also a lock symbol is now displayed at the top of the ipod touch. How do I fix this.
    This was the first purchase I made.

    Are you following these instructions?
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    Where is the lock icon on the screen?

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - Anything else here
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • Just sent in daughter's Ipod touch 5th generation to be fixed....They sent me a new one....is there anyway to get the contents of her old one onto the new one?  I synced the old one with Itunes before I sent it in and backed it up on my computer.

    Sure, as soon as you open iTunes with the new iPod connected, it will have a "Welcome to your New iPod" screen. Just choose Restore from backup.

  • Ipod touch wifi not as good as before

  • 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.

  • Will it cost money if send my iPod touch 2g to apple to fix? fix

    I want to send my iPod touch 2g to apple to fix but I don't know if it cost money.

    Apple doesn't repair it.  If there is no sign of abuse, they replace it with a refurbished unit.  The fixed-price for non-warranty replacements can be found here.

  • Ipod Touch-Wifi and Registry problems

    I just got my Ipod touch a few days ago, and every time I try to go on the internet, I select my network, enter the password, and it says "unable to connect." Also, whenever I hook up my ipod to itunes, it asks me to register the ipod, even though I've done it already.
    Are these problems related? Any advice on how to fix either?
    Thanks!

    I have a similar problem; in XP my iPod Touch SAYS unable to connect but it actually does in Bootcamp XP, however in OSX it will not. Odd thing is, I think my friend's iPod Touch did connect to my MBP in OSX. Oh, I use the MBP to share a wireless internet signal using the Sprint EX720 Expresscard, so sorry if my story seemed confusing. I will get together with my friend later this evening to check this out and determine if there is a defect in my iPod, if hers works. Otherwise at other Wifi hotspots I usually get on without problems.

  • HT204266 The app store has some how been deleted off my daughters iPod touch. How do I fix this problem

    I need help I am new to this iPod world as a mom. My daughter has somehow deleted the app store from her iPod touch and I have no idea how to fix this problem. Can anyone help me with this problem.

    It is not possible to delete any of the bundled apps, so the App Store app is still there somewhere. Either she's moved it to another home screen or dropped it in a folder, in which case you can search for it or do a reset of the home screen layout - Settings -> General -> Reset and that should bring it back, or she inadvertenly turned off purchasing of apps in the Settings -> General -> Restrictions settings.
    Regards.
