Ipod Wifi being all screwy

My ipod Wifi says it is connected in the sys prefs, but when I look at the top left corner, the wifi signal is not there, indicating no conection. Sys prefs shows all three bars.
I have the internet off most the time so my windows computers have less of a chance of getting infected so I assigned my ipod with a static IP that lets me use the internet whenever. However this is not working anymore.
All of this is at my home network.

Fixed it.

I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.0.2. my wifi says its connected but doesn't work now. It doesn't matter what wifi network I connect to. It worked before updating my phone. I can no longer use facetime or use wifi at all. I'm not sure what to do to fix it.

I'm having similar issues with my phone. I got my first iPhone recently, only had an iPod touch gen4 for a little over a year. Updated to 6.0.2 when we got the phone (iPhone 5) a few days before Christmas. When I got home on the evening of January 11, my phone would not connect the router anymore. I was able to get it to connect after resetting the phone and the router, updating the router, and manually connecting. That laste for a few minutes and then wouldn't work anymore. I live in an area with very limited service, we have a network extender installed to help, and I am barely getting a 3G signal at times.
My wife's iPad 4, my touchiPod 4, and all of our laptops are working just fine on the router. When I dropped my kid off at school today, I noticed that I am not even seeing the school network anymore from the parking lot where before I got 3 or 4 bars and could connect to their wifi when I was there. Today my phone goes back and forth between seeing my home network but not connecting, to not even seeing the network at all even from the same room that the router is in.
Hope Apple fixes this problem soon..............

I can see and listen to all of my music from the ipod on my stereo or thru headphones but for some reason, itunes doesn't see this device.

Hi sunsets123,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some troubleshooting steps that may help if iTunes is not recognizing your iPod classic:

Why is it that Apple have no interest in helping I have a iPhone 4S and since updating to ISO 7.0.4 I have no wifi at all told me it's a hardware issue and I will be charged for the repair sick of it what a scam

Why is it that Apple have no interest in helping I have a iPhone 4S and since updating to ISO 7.0.4 I have no wifi at all told me it's a hardware issue and I will be charged for the repair as it's just over a yr old so I've got a 24 month contract so 12 months with a phone that is not working right I have read loads of other people that have the same problem so how can they put it down to the phone and when asked where to take it was told to google it not happy at all apple u need to sort it out never again am I buying anything for yourselfs again DISTGUSTED would be an understatement

No joy at all they just keep saying it's the phone but was fine before update and @metasolaray why should I pay for extra cover when the fault is not the phone but the update they have put out for everyone to install and I am far from being the only person as there is hundreds of people going through the same with this update and it's not been the first time they messed it up

Apple should take resonsibility for this, otherwise they will lose lots of loyal customers. I have moved away from the ipad due to expense and am now very tempted to do so away from the iphone. Selling a product that prompts an update that breaks the phone is not good.

Have had the same issues with iPhone 4S since the upgrade. No wifi button, battery draining every 8 hours with no use, phone shutting on & off for no reason at all. I gave in and tried the hair dryer method. Turned the phone off and hel d the dryer over the camera lense area for one minute. Turned the phone back on and to my shock, had wifi button back again. That was 2 days ago. Battery is lasting normal amount of time again and I can use wifi again! Hopefully this will last. I know it doesn't work for everyone but it doesn't hurt to try. Much better than spending the $200 at the Apple store, which by the way, the genius said Apple is aware of the problems but there is nothing they can do.

you will be fine if you have warranty
If not Apple won't want to know
I know I've tried but they will not help.
I've email bbc watchdog the consumer
Programme to see if they can help.

Having the same issue: iOS 7.0.2 with no WiFi / poor Battery stamina and really slow software experience when opening several options at Settings icon.
Apple care agent contacted me and we try all alternatives to isolate and detect if this is regarding a hardware problem. Of course they told me it is. Too sad. My phone is in immaculate condition.
My mother has an Iphone, my father has an Iphone, my 2 sisters have Iphones, my brother, wife and daugther... we all have Iphones. Mine's the only one with this fault (my personal experience: fail prob is 12,5% -1 out of 8).
At this point, I'm evaluating to stop buying apple products for fear that in the future the same will happen with some "premium" product that ultimately they are not.
Too sad, sorry but this is too much.

I got my 4s in August 2012, as an upgrade on my Vodafone contract Following the installation of IOS 7 I also experienced greying out of wifi and bluetooth. I tried various options suggested on forums however none worked. I took my phone to Vodafone who told me it was a problem they were aware of but couldn't do anything about as Apple had to deal with it. I took it to my nearest Apple store (60 miles round trip!) to be told it was not their responsibility, it was Vodafone's - something to do with consumer law! They also said I would have to pay £160 for a replacement phone as it couldn't be repaired. The 'Genius' was very cagey about it being a common problem by the way!! Back to Vodafone who said it was not their responsibility so back to Apple. This time I spoke with a Manager who told me in not so many words that it was an issue and agreed to halve the replacement cost of £160 to £80. By this time I just wanted it sorted to reluctantly paid £80 for a replacment phone. Seeing as this is CLEARLY a design fault, Apple should have replaced it free of charge. This experience just confirms what I am reading in lots of places about the Apple Company. I was going to buy an iPad but have decided not to now. I shall NOT be replacing the iphone when my contract is up. I too will be writing to BBC Watchdog.

You will probably be told that the solution is a replacement phone. Ask to speak to a Manager and insist on getting it at a lower price. I did this and got it at 50% of the usual repacement cost. Still not ideal but at least it saves you a bit of the money you shouldn't have to pay in the first place!

I depend alot on my Iphone and this Wifi greyed out issue is really getting to me!! This caused me to lose some business, but I'm sure I will make up for that in Andriod World. Switching back to andriod should have never switched to apple in the first place.

4s owner in the same boat as everyone else.
I setup a service call with apple on Monday this week and was told it's quite a common hardware failure. When I asked why I should be paying for a new phone I was advised to book an appointment in store. Well I've just returned from my appointment with a "genius" who told me that when the update is installing if any component is weak when installing it will be permanently disabled. Was then told £150 for a new phone which I declined.
I've had iPhones for 4 years now but due to this issue and apple washing their hands of any responsibility it will be my last.
Disappointed that a premium product has such poor backup from the manufacturer. If it was only my phone and not thousands of others I'd have probably paid for a new phone but I'll never give apple another penny again.

The songs on my Ipod Classic wont play at all although you can feel and hear the machinery working hard. The tracks are not playng at all but you can see the Ipod rewinding them all and returning to the album. And this happens to the second IPOD I have!

The songs on my Ipod Classic wont play at all although you can feel and hear the machinery working hard. The tracks are not playng at all but you can see the Ipod rewinding them all and returning to the album. And this happens to the second IPOD I just got!

First off, I would STRONGLY suggest that a external hard drive would make you life much easier by at least being able to back up your songs on the external drive for when you need them. Even if you don't want them in the iTunes library, you can have them all ready on the external to be re-added as needed. You can get 100's of gigs for under $100 shipped.
Anyway, since you used Yamipod, are all the songs back on the computer? If so, I would go ahead and restore the iPod, let iTunes then resync everything back to the iPod, then switch it back to manual and see if the restore and resync clears up the issue.

How do you make it so that the ipod will play all the different artists featured in an album when you click that album to play?

How do you make it so that the ipod will play all the different artists featured in an album when you click that album to play? At the moment, each artist in the album is being separated and I can't play them together. For example, to play the Halo 2 Soundtrack, Hoobastank, Breaking Benjamin, Nile Rodgers, etc. are some of the artists featured. However, in the Albums category, they are each separate choices. I want to play them all together, but can't. Is there a way to do that?

It sounds like the album metadata is incorrect, or differs from song to song in iTunes. Albums with various artists will play properly assuming all the songs are tagged with the same identical album name, as well as the track number. For the Halo 2 Soundtrack, metadata should look like this:
Song: <Song Title>
Artist: <Song Artist>
Album: Halo 2, Vol. 1 (Original Soundtrack)
Genre: Soundtrack
I had a similar problem with my imported Cowboy Bebop albums and the mixture of artists/album names. Once I adjusted the metadata, all of them play in the correct order just by selecting the Album from the available list or in Coverflow.

Is there any hope left for my iPod Classic at all?

Okay so for the last few weeks there have been a few glitches with my 160GB iPod Classic, it's a little over 2 years old and admittedly it does get a lot of use. My iPod would not play certain songs and albums that I wanted to listen to, it would stay at 0:00 for a few seconds then skip then repeat the process for every track in the album. At one point, the album started playing through my headphones when the iPod hadn't been on for a few days which really freaked me out. The screen was black and everything. I deleted the files off my iPod and then synced them back on - worked fine. A few of the video files on my iPod stopped being playable. I'd click on one to watch it, there would be a flash of white and then I would have to reboot.
Yesterday it started going a bit weird again so I turned it off, put it on hold, usual stuff. It kept turning itself back on I'm guessing until it finally drained itself of power.
Today I went to charge it with my plug adapter - wouldn't recognise that it was being charged at all. Connected it to my laptop - took a few times but finally got it to recognise my device. Knowing it really needed restoring, I tried restoring it but got error 1439. Worked through everything in the resolutions, nothing helped. Even tried on my other laptop with the same results.
Finally I joined this support community as I could see no other alternative. So far I have attempted to receive my HD stats of which I got the response [device opened] followed by error. (I'm guessing that isn't a good sign.) I'm now working through the 'Erasing Your iPod' suggestion which is taking ages but it seems to be doing something.
If that fails, is my only real option to have it repaired or replaced? I know a lot of people have suggested self-repairs but I'm not very technical and have a tendency to break things beyond repair in my desperation to fix them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

If you can't get the HD stat, by using the iPod disk Diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, then your iPod Hardisk need to be replaced.

Do any of the location and two-step authentication services work without IPOD WiFi?

IPOD Touch 4g, IOS 6.01
I signed up for two-step authentication but I now realize that all the necessary location services only work through WiFi.
I don't use WiFi at home and only connect my IPOD directly to the PC whenever I want to use Itunes or manage it.
Is there any process to setup location services and two-step authenticate through a PC internet connection?
Thanks

I think you are going to find the WiFi saps that good life right out of it -- it will also run hotter with WiFi on.
I did some informal testing on this myself... the best battery life I get is with WiFi turned off and only turned back on when needed to surf the net. I use EDGE for e-mail.
Today was my first "real use" day... It charged last night and was fully charged this morning. I texted quite a bit. I sent a bunch of e-mails. I called my husband via bluetooth. My daughter called several times to check in. I called a few work contacts for brief convos. I browsed the internet for about 15 minutes. Made an appointment in the calendar. Showed google maps, weather, stocks, and safari to a friend (using EDGE). Now tonight, safely back at home, I still have about 70% battery remaining.
Any day I had WiFi on all day I barely got through 12 hours before it needed to be charged. Last night when I was intentionally running my battery down I turned on WiFi. Starting with a battery charged about 50% I browsed with WiFi for 3-4 hours and the phone died.
I do keep bluetooth off too unless I'm in the car, but honestly, I think it's really the WiFi that is the biggest battery draw.

I have an iPad 4, I am connected to WiFi but all the apps say it is not connected.

Being connected to your wifi network is one thing. Being connected to the internet is another thing.
Try rebooting the router. Just pull the power for a few seconds. No settings get lost.

The screen of my iPod has gone all red.

The screen of my iPod has gone all red and the whites have become blue rain like thing. Its one and a half year old iPad. Really disappointed

"Not to my knowledge."
Hmmm. Are you being completely open with us?
If it was dropped by friend or family, other threads here on this phenomemna indicate slapping it on the back a couple of times with increasing intensity caused the screen to return to normal....but no comment on how long it remained normal. Do a search on this forum for "red screen."
If you can state with certainty that it was not dropped, and if it is still under extended warranty, and if the Apple store believes you, they may give you a rebuilt one.

My iPod has deleted all its music (not synced to itunes)

Hi,
I just updated to the new iTunes and my iPod has deleted all its content.
My iPod is not synced to my itunes or laptop, so I just manually put it on.
Has my music been lost? If so, can I get it back? Anyone know how it deleted by itself!? I was uploading music, ejected the device and when I went to play music there was nothing on it.
Thanks

An iPod has a hard drive inside. Like a hard drive in a computer, it can have data corruption that cause files to be lost. It is really not wise to keep music and other media on the iPod without it being backed up on the computer. You can easily break or lose your iPod, or the iPod could have data issues like the one your experienced.
The cause may be a hardware problem. It can also be data only, which means using Restore on your iPod may make it work properly again. The only way to know is to use iTunes to Restore the iPod, which will erase the iPod and initialize the iPod's software.
Going forward, you should store your media on your computer and sync it to the iPod. Additionally, you should back up the valuable data (and not just iTunes data) on your computer.

Have brand new iphone 4s. Wifi signal is very weak even when very close to router. I have also an iPod Touch and when both are side by side, the iPod wifi signal is excellent and the iPhone wifi signal is very poor??!!! Hardware issue? or software issue? I was hoping it is just a software issue, but...
Saw may web sites discussing this same issue; many discussions point to hardware problems but there is no official word from Apple about it, which is disapointing !?? Few discussions point to software problem with solutions based on try and error, and they don't seem to work.

did not help at all; the problem continues the same

I have a generation 3 ipod 80 gig. When I updated itunes to 11.1.11 and tried to sync the ipod it erased it and now wont recognize it. I can't seem to make this work I have reset the ipod, reloaded itunes all to no effect. Any ideas?

What is the recalled iPod nano being replaced with

What is the recalled iPod nano being replaced with

I sent my 1st generation nano back on Monday and got my replacement today (Thursday). Apple is FAST! Kudos for great customer service. However, I also got the 6th gen. silver 8gb nano like deggie said although I didn't know that it was refurbished and I am very disappointed. This is the super-tiny nano that I'm guessing no one liked because they redesigned it after 1 generation. If they were sending refurbished nanos, I would have much preferred any generation but the 3rd or 6th generation or at least the option of choosing from what was available. All of the others look very similar to the 1st generation which I really liked. That said, the 6th gen. does have more memory than my original and has some additional features but I think I would have rather kept my old one. I said I think because I haven't used the "new" one and I might get used to it. Something to consider if you are happy with your 1st generation nano.
