IPod touch won't connect to the internet.

I am sharing the connection from my MacBook Pro 17", late 2007 (with Airport Extreme). I have an internet connection from a Verizon wireless usb modem. It has always worked before on my iPod touch 4g, when I was running iOS 4.3.4. However, I just updated to iOS 5.0.1, and now I can't load any webpages. If I set a password on the network (this has helped with problems before), the moment I connect on my iPod I have full connection strength - but I can't load webpages. If I don't set a password, it doesn't show a connection in the status bar (and, of course, I can't connect).
I may try restoring from my 4.3.4 backup and reinstalling iOS 5.0.1 (my father suggests this).
A few additional details which may or may not be relevant:
- My 4.3.4 was on a tethered jailbreak
- My iOS 5 is pwned and jailbroken, although I still have the original file.
- My computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, although I may have updated to Lion by the time this discussion has finished.
Hope you can help!
Thanks in advance,
SvenFjord

Very common with iPod touch jailbreaks. The only way to fix it is to un-jailbreak it. There is something either wrong with the ipsw file or the jailbreaking tool. If you REALLY still want to ruin your ipod, I recommend redn0w. Just BEWARE that it will slow down your ipod by about 50%, and that you will experiance USB issues if jailbreaking iOS 5.0.1.

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.

Two of our ipod touches won't connect to the home wifi. They have done before. All other apple devices connect fine. They can see the wifi devices, appear to try to connect (the circle whirls around) but connection doesn't complete. Ideas?

I have 2 of them that only connected for a day and then reset network settings and they connected again for a day now resetting network settings does not fix it either. My iphone used to work with my home network but after upgrading to the latest OS which is the same versions as the ipods it no longer works either. Acts the same as the ipods. It would seem that the latest tweeks to the OS is the problem with wifi connectivity.

My iPod 8GB won't connect to the internet.

My iPod won't connect to the internet. It says I'm connected to my Wi-Fi connection, but when I try go on Safari it says I'm not connected to the internet. I resetted my iPod and my modem but it didn't help. I tried everything to get it working, but nothing seems to work. Help please?!

Assuming other devices successfully connect to the internet via wifi:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Resset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

TS1398 My iPod touch won't connect to the wifi.?

So my iPod touch has been conecting to the internet perfectly these last few weeks, but i turned it on this morning and it would not connect to my home wifi at all. It connects to other wifi signals, and i can connect my laptop to my home wifi, but not my ipod? It constantly has a loading sign next to it even though i have full signal connection?
I have tried turning it off and on multiple times
I have tried turning the wifi connector on and off
I have reset my network settings
I have held the home button and lock button for ten seconds and restarted it
I "forgot" the wifi link and re added it with the password again
I don't want IOS7 and i can't download it without internet anyway
I dont know what else to do and im really starting to get annoyed
Help please

It connects to other wifi signals, and i can connect my laptop to my home wifi, but not my ipod? It constantly has a loading sign next to it even though i have full signal connection? indicates a problem with your network.
Power off and then back on the router
Next try changing the security on the router. Start with no security (no password required) for a test.
- Restore from iCloud backup. It shuld not update to iOS 7See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device via iTunes. This will update a 5G to iOS 7
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Ipod touch 2nd Gen connects to the internet and then quits

I have a 2nd gen Ipod touch that connects to the Internet and then it quits. I will then get the message the Ipod can not connect to the Internet.
I have a Linksys WTR 610n wireless router (I have upgraded to the new firmware). My Ipod worked fine for about almost 2 years and then it started dropping the connection. I am not sure if was as a result of upgrading the Ipod to 4.2.1. but things started to go bad right after. It will connect from anywhere from 1 min to 20min and quit. I can't downgrade to a previous OS the Ipod because I don't have a previous version of the firmware. Also Apps and Apple remote will not connect to Itunes when the internet shuts down. The Ipod recognizes all of the wifi routers in the area and its shows that it connects but then still nothing works.
Sometimes it just says it won't connect to the server. I have tried no security, WEP WPA and WPA2.
I have also tried:
1) restoring my IPOD;
2) resetting the network settings;
3) rebooting the IPOD;
4) forgetting the network and renewing the network lease;
5) rebooting the router;
6) resetting the router;
7) upgrading the firmware of the router;
8) setting the router to "G" only;
9) setting the router to "N" only;
10) praying to Steve Jobs; and
11)
I think that is everything that I could find on the discussion or elseware. If any one knows how to fix this, I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks

My ipod touch won't connect to the wifi network?

Hello,
My ipod touch won't work upstairs in my house. It is a 32gb 3rd generation and you have to stand close to the router. My family has two other ipod touchs and both of them work up in my room. I need help on how to mak it so my iPod works. I have reset the network settings 5 times and I have restored it once. Neither of them work. I have had it since 2009 and i got the wifi router in February 2011. It worked until March break when I went to my friends house and my iPod wouldn't work unless I stood bside her laptop. there was 3 other iPod touchs that worked fne though. Can I get viruses on my iPod touch?? Please help

Here's how I solved my connection issues (I got this from doing online research):
Manually Configure Your Network: From DHCP tab, tap the STATIC tab at the top. You will be presented with 4 fields to fill in:
Field 1 is the IP Address. This address is for your iPod and it needs to be corret inorder to connect to the network. You need to know the address of your router in order to fill this field in. If you have a home network router, chances are your router address is something like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 (you need to find this in your router's manual). Set your iPod's IP address to something like 192.168.X.150 (X= the 3rd number in your router's address).
Field 2 is the Subnet Mask. Most likely, your Subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0 (as long as your router's address begins with 192.168.X.X).
Field 3 is the Router Address. This address is given to you in your router's user manual. Some manufacturers even have it written on the bottom or back of the router itself. Most likely, it will be either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 (confirm with your user manual). This address is also called the Default Gateway.
Field 4 is the DNS address. If the above fields are correctly set, these should be determined automatically. However, if they are not, you will need to get this (or these) address(es) from your Internet Service Provider. You may also obtain this information from http://opendns.com (free service).
When I first tried this procedure, I could only receive mail and not send. Later on, I could send but not receive. After a few calls to my ISP (they said they were having problems with the internet) and a lot of entering and re-entering the information, I finally gave up and early the next a.m. I input everything again and all of a sudden I was hooked up!
My ISP never could tell me why I couldn't get a connection.
P.S. The port I used was 25.
Good Luck!

My ipod touch isn't connecting to the internet???

The internet on my iPod touch has always worked, but today it's not connecting to anything. When I go to settings and then wi-fi it says it's connected to my internet but doesn't show at the top left bar and isn't working? I have tried turning it on and off, I've reset my network connection and have gone through the common wi-fi issues. This is really weird because it is actually connected to the internet but it's not working at all. Please help!

LG EnV Touch won't connect to the internet!

I have had this phone for almost 2 years (almost time for that upgrade!), & it's a piece of crap.. i've had it replaced numerous times & even had to buy a new battery because the old one wouldn't take a charge at all. a few days ago, my mobile internet stopped working. it'll load & then finally say "Polaris Browser cannot open the page. Connection timeout!!! press refresh to retry." but that still doesn't work.
is there anyway to fix this without having to go to a verizon store? everytime i go in for help, well, they're not much help.

I can't begin to imagine your frustrations, I would be so upset if I had multiple replacements in a two year period. I had the Envtouch and upgraded to a smart phone with a touch screen because of my great experience with the EnvTouch. Let's get to the bottom of this right away.
Were you using a particular application when this started? Have you ever been able use the internet on this particular device? Please remove the battery and reinsert. I know you've probably done that before but that forces the device to look for current coverage. Please dial *228 press send then choose option 1. Please retest the browser.
Lastly try a reset on the device by following these steps:
Resets phone settings to factory default. User data will NOT be erased.
From the main screen, tap Menu ::
Tap Settings & Tools
Scroll to / Tap Phone Settings
Scroll to / Tap Security
Enter Phone Lock Code ???? Displays,
enter the 4 digit lock code ( default: last 4 digits of phone number ).
Tap Reset Default
Preference settings will be set to factory defaults. Your user data will NOT be erased. Press <OK> to continue. displays.
Tap OK to continue.
Tap Revert
Please let us know if these steps help. We definitely want to have you in a working great device. Also you mentioned you've had the device for almost 2 years. You may already be eligible to upgrade! Dial #UPG then send to check your date.
Thank you

My i-pod 3-generation touch won't connect to the internet but the network information is active on it

I connected the i-pod to my wireless internet but the i-pod keeps saying it is not connected.

My iPod Touch 2nd generation won't connect to the Internet

After restoring my iPod Touch 2nd gen to factory settings because that's what iTunes advised me to do after doing the iTunes update a week ago, my iPod won't connect to the internet anymore. I was able to connect to our wifi but it won't go to any website, to iTunes, etc. I'm 100% sure the problem isn't our wifi because I'm using it right now with my laptop so it's not the wireless problem. Before restoring my iPod to factory settings iti has always worked and I never had a problem connecting it. I tried restoring it again but it still didn't work. I already also reset our router but still no luck. I wish someone could help me asap!! Thank you.

You can try:
- reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off an then backon your router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

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.
