Ipod touch wont connect to internet

I recently restored my 2nd gen Ipod touch to factory default settings because that was the only way to get back onto my ipod. Once i got it all set up i went to get on the internet but it said i wasnt connected to the internet. So i went into settings to turn on the wifi. The only problem is that when i go to settings it says wifi but it's grayed out!!!!! The little wifi symbol is there but on the right side but on the left side it says no wifi. i cant click on it and i couldnt find anyone else who has had this problem! Please help asap!!

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod 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 the 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 make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My ipod touch wont connect to wi-fi @ my house

    my ipod touch wont connect to wi-fi @ my house.
    I'm Having trouble cause i just got it used & I reset & rebooted it now I don't know how to program it. Someone please out of the goodness of your hearts," Help Me Please?"

    Might be a good idea to start by reading the User's Guide.
    Also, this is the iTunes for Windows forum... the issue has nothing to do with iTunes.  In the future, please post to the appropriate forum.

  • Ipod touch wont connect to the internet at all

    When I go to connect to the internet, It doesn't show MY internet in the internet selecions at all. The only way that I can connect to it is if I go very close to the internet model and only then can I connect to the internet, but when I leave somewhere farther like in my room, it disconnects and doesn't show it at all after a few minutes of using the internet, or even if im not using the internet It still disconnects itself and doesnt show my internet unless I go back next to the modem. I always have to repeat this process to connect to the internet on my ipod. All the computers in the house connect fine. even everyone else with an ipod. This started a couple days ago and dont know why it's happening. PLEASE HELP D::

  • Wifi Problem - can't get iPod Touch to connect to Internet

    I've seen lots of posts and discussions around this issue but cannot seem to nail down a solution. I have no security or encryption whatsoever with my wireless router & network. Other devices can connect wirelessly with no problem but my iPod Touch, although it shows that it is connected to my wireless network with all the proper DNS settings, it cannot access the internet. Of course, none of the wifi-based apps will work as a result.
    Based on what I've deduced so far, I think the issue is that my brand new iPod Touch does not like my older Linksys WRK54G wireless router. That said, my brother's newer iPhone picked up my wireless network fine recently??
    Does anyone have any advice? Thanks.

    I have read all the posts and did all the numerous solutions/suggestions for 2 days now and what worked for me is this:
    I went to Dlink online and went to Wireless connection settings to change the SSID name as if I am using my router for the first time, then changed it to WPA 20 characters! then saved the settings. Do this on the original PC (in my case, a desktop linked to the router via Ethernet cable as I have 2 laptops running
    from that router as well. Note, before doing the "Save the settings"
    above, I reset the Dlink router (by putting a pin at the back of the unit,
    then turning it off and on including my separate Netcomm modem.
    You then go back to your Ipod touch/ Settings and Choose the new Network Name.GOOD LUCK.

  • Ipod touch wont connect to wifi unless close to router

    My ipod won't connect to my wifi unless I'm about 5-10 feet away from the router. Is this normal with the 1st gen ipod touches? I can't use a lot of apps because I need an internet connection to use them.

    If not thios

  • My iPod touch wont Connect or Slide

    My iPod screen says Connect to iTunes, but it wont connect, and I've tried to "Hard Reset" it, but it just goes right back to the same screen. also when i try to turn it off it wont let me slide to turn it off? Please help!! i've had my iPod for quite awhile and this is the first problem i've ever had with it.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My new ipod touch not connected to internet - How do I do?

    Yesterday, I bought a new 8Gb ipod touch but after I put in details & asking to pay for internet vis card detail, My card go temporarily declined (got sorted out wiht my bank today) but I cannot go back to card details.
    I tried everything to get it connected and I don't know how to get it connected. I tried to get help from Apple support site but cannot get any help from them!
    I have in mind to get it back as very useless - I am very angry and disappointed not to get any internet on my new ipod. I want my money back!!!!

    I do not understand about having to pay for internet. The iPod has no native internet. To connect to the internet it needs a wifi hotspot/router. Are you trying to connect to a wifi hotspot that chargers money and requires a credit card? If so then you need to talk to the providers. If that is not it then provide more information.

  • IPod Touch stopped connecting to Internet (WiFi)

    Just unbelieveable-- I've been using my iPod Touch with a variety of WiFi connections the past 3 months, but really wanted WiFi at my home. So yesterday I got a D-Link DIR-635 Router acting as a bridge Router (connected to my older DI-604 Router) and all was super. This worked yesterday and this morning as well. In fact, it seemed even faster this morning-- well worked great in any case.
    THEN NO MORE WiFi: But this afternoon, although the iPod Touch sees and "connects" to the router, it goes looking for the weather data, or stock data, or YouTube videos or eMail-- nothing.
    YET my PowerBook and MacBook find and make the wireless connection just fine and connect to the internet perfectly--
    I've tried changing some settings in the WiFi settings on the iPod Touch-- nothing.
    Strange strange strange...
    Why would the PBG4 and MacBook work with this and not the iPod Touch-- especially when it worked up until 6 hours ago???
    Any and all comments appreciated. I can give the DNS and router and IP Address info or whatever is needed. If the Macs didn't work, I'd say this was a new router problem-- but they work fine!

    You know I've got a cordless phone RIGHT NEXT to this router-- and the iTouch is back working again, but I am going to RELOCATE that cordless phone.
    I've read a bunch of other comments similar to my post-- changed the DNS to 208.67.222.222 (it didn't work right away after that change, but within 30 minutes...)
    So I'm going to follow this and thanks very much for your feedback and please don't hesitate to send further ideas!
    Working for 30 minutes now-- hope it continues; and looking into relocating that phone!
