IPod won't connect to wifi, "Unable to connect to _____"?

I have an iPod that is a little under a year old. I got it in January of last year. I have 4.2.1 on it now, but shortly before I installed it my iPod wouldn't connect to any different wifi. I took it to a library and it wouldn't connect there, and it won't connect at home. I restored my iPod, I reset the network settings, I unplugged the wifi and plugged it back in again. Everything else, including my brother's iPod, connects to the wifi fine. What can I do?

You've tried about everything you can do. It might be time to contact Apple support for some advice. Since your iPod doesn't connect to any network it may need repair.

  • IPod won't connect to wifi but the wifi is fine

    My computer's wifi is fine but both mine and my sisters iPods won't connect to the wifi. What's wrong with my iPod?

    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

  • Tried to sync iPod Touch, noted "new" iTunes. iPod won't sync ("iTunes is unable to load data class information from Sync Services"). Tried the fix, but iTunes hangs when I try to open Preferences.

    Just tried to download new audiobooks to my iPod Touch 3, and noted new iTunes. iPod won't sync ("iTunes is unable to load data class information from Sync Services"). Tried to Reset Sync History per Support Article, but it didn't work. My purchased audiobooks are also gone from my iTunes Library.  Any fix, or is my best bet to uninstall new iTunes and reload earlier version??

  • IPod won't connect more than once

    When I plug my iPod into my computer, my iTunes registers and connects and syncs. Perfectly fine. But I want to change some settings on my iPod, such as the album artwork and playlists, and whenever I try to sync it again, my iPod won't connect and my iTunes can't find it, even though its plugged in.
    Help?

    Typically when only one device can connect to the AirPort base station, it may be because it is not properly configured as a NAT router ... which is its default configuration.
    One option is to perform a "factory default" reset on the AirPort, and then, try connecting one or more devices to verify that they now all get network/Internet access. Once verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure it per your networking requirements.

  • 3rd gen ipod won't connect with firewire.

    3rd gen ipod won't connect to itunes with firewire. USB connects rarely but drains battery quickly. I've rebooted the ipod and computer and updated itunes. No effect. Any remedies besides buying a new ipod.

    Answer to Question 1: - I connected the iPod with the USB, went to Disk Utility and erased the iPod. Now the iPod works with USB.
    Question 2 is still unanswered. Ideas?

  • 10 gig iPod won't connect.....

    Greetings
    I've changed the original battery from the 1st gen 10 gig scroll wheel, but now the iPod won't connect.
    It has lost its charging indicator, but feels warm to the touch. I can still play all the music that is on there, but can't see it via iTunes or finder.
    I can see the ipod via the firewire, i.e. about this mac, more info, firewire, shows that the iPod is connected, but has it listed as version 0.0.
    I've tried this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363 but no joy.
    Any ideas from the brains trust?
    Cheers

    Make sure you have tried a different FireWire port, and shutdown (power off) and restart your computer if you have not done so since having this issue.
    You can try a different FireWire cable. If this is a 1st gen iPod, it uses a regular FireWire (400) cable.
    Since the iPod is seen (somewhat), does the iPod show up in Disk Utility? If so, use Disk Utility to reformat (erase) the iPod's hard drive in the Erase tab. Make sure the iPod's hard drive (not the volume indented under the sidebar) is selected in the sidebar. Select +Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format type. If that procedure succeeds, run iTunes again and if it is seen now, use the Restore button to install and initialize the iPod's software.
    It is possible that when you opened the iPod to replace the battery, you inadvertently disconnected the hard drive. Therefore, the iPod is "seen" by the system, but the hard drive is not. I have also read some reports that if the replacement battery is just a tad too thick, it puts pressure on the hard drive and causes the platter not to spin. So you may want to open it up again, check the hard drive connection, and try it with the back side off.

  • I´ve forgotten my passcode and my ipod won´t connect or appear in my PC

    I´ve forgotten my passcode and my ipod won´t connect or appear in my PC - any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Place the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes.
    If not successful, try DFU mode.

  • My ipod won't connect to pc at all

    My ipod won't connect to pc. I tried on a few computers but windows won't detect the ipod and the ipod does not recharge.
    Eventually my ipod ran out of battery and now i cant use it at all, not even as a memory stick because it can't connect to a pc...

    so i'd prob have to bring it to a store and have them look at it, correct? also one more thing, if i uninstall my itunes and reinstall it, will all my music still be there or will everything be gone?

  • My iPod won't connect to my Mac... Help?

    My iPod won't connect with my Mac anymore.
    It connected last time I tried it (four months ago, about). It's a Gen Two or Three (I don't know the difference, sorry) and I haven't changed anything about my Mac since then, or my iTunes.
    If you can help at all, please reply. And don't hesitate to ask for more info.
    EDIT: Oh, and I've tried resetting the iPod, putting it in Disk Mode, using a different USB port and restarting the computer (several times).
    The iPod says "Do Not Disconnect" and the iPod symbol appears on Finder and I am able to access it, but it won't appear in iTunes.
    Message was edited by: Hortaux

    I was having the same problem--no iPod on Desktop, no iPod in iTunes. This fixed it for me, at least:
    1. Open Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. (My iPod DID show up here, though it wasn't mounted.)
    2. Select the iPod in the disk list on the left.
    3. Click "Verify Disk." (In my case, this revealed an underlying error.)
    4. Click "Repair Disk." (If this works, great--stop here. It didn't work for me...)
    5. Click the "Erase" tab at the top of the right-hand main pane.
    6. Choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) for Volume Format.
    7. Click "Erase" button at bottom right.
    Almost immediately, my iPod showed up on my Desktop, iTunes launched, and it was as though I had completed a Restore of the iPod.
    Hope that helps....

  • 40GB Ipod Won't Connect...?

    My 40GB iPod won't connect to the computer when i plug it in. The display comes up with "Do Not Disconnect", but iTunes won't open or anything. It just stays like that.
    I've tried connecting to another USB port, restarting the computer and iPod, but nothing seems to work.

    The only time I use a USB is for my nano because it's not supported by a firewire; otherwise, I'm not a big fan of USB's and use the firewire for my other pod. Have you tried a firewire?

  • TS1398 My Ipod won't connect to my home wifi.

    I just got a brand new 5th generation Ipod and it won't connect to my Wifi for some reason. All of my other devices connect just fine with the password that I provide etc. but this one refuses to. When I try to connect it let's me type in the password but doesnt let me hit 'join' at all. And when I go straight to Safari and enter my password (this is the only time I'm allowed to hit join) it says unable to connect. Is anyone else experiencing this?

  • Brand new ipod won't connect to internet, shows wifi connected

    I set up a virtual router plus program on my computer to turn our wired connection into a wifi hotspot so my daughter could use her ipod in the app store but it won't connect to the internet at all. Wifi signal is on, in settings it says its connected, but when attempts at loading anything occur, nothing loads. Iphone works on the ad hoc network, won't be able to get to a wifi spot for her to surf around with for a while
