My ipod (4th Gen)does not detect my home wifi.

i need to be right next to the box to get wifi. signal low once im about ten feet away. My brothers iphone still connect from a distance though. My ipod is pretty banged up and has been dropped pletty of times but i dont think that would effect it in that way, right?

If this happens with all networks then that indicates a loose antenna connection,

  • Ipod 4th gen does not play music from list automatically. just plays one and repeats it.

    ipod 4th gen does not play from list automatically. it just plays one at a time and then repeats it until i select another.
    how do i set it to play all on playlist?

    On the left side of the Now Playing screen right below the scrubber bar is the repeat control. It is the arrowed racetrack icon. Tap the icon until it is white for no repeat.

  • Ipod 4th gen does not power up

    My ipod 4th generation does not power up.  I charged 1 hour on computer and another hour via power outlet and reset the device by simultaneously pressing the sleep/wake button on top and the wheel in the lower front.  Nothing.  What do I do next?  I am looking at self-help replacing the battery, logic board or hard drive but do not know how to tell which one it is. Any help is appreciated.

    Have you tried everthing here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    I have no idea of how to troubleshoot what is wrong/what to fix.  There is no harder drive in the iPod Just flash memory soldered to the logic board

  • My ipod touch 4th gen will not find my home wifi and im standing next to the router? i did not do anything to the ipod nd im sure its not my router since my laptop and PS3 work perfectly

    i know for a fact its not my router because everything else works fine

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device 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 your 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 and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Ipod (4th Gen) does not charge, turn on, cannot be detected by computer, does not respond to any stimulation of any combination of buttons. How do I fix this problem?

    I have had my Ipod Nano (4th Generation) for about 3 years and it has worked relativley well throughout. However recently I used it until it ran out o charge completely and asked to connect to charger. I took it home that evening and plugged it into my mains charger and there was no response, so I tried plugging it into my computer (it has the lastest version of iTunes) and it did not pick up the ipod at all. I have left it on charge multiple times since that and still no response. I have been through the troubleshooting guide and that has been of no help because if i hold down either the menu + centre buttons or Centre + play etc there is no response whatsoever. Is there any way that I can fix this problem or should i just either sell it or buy a new one.
    Cheers,
    Mr Elot

    i had the same thing happen to mine.  figured it was shot - but i found the ops manual online and read about 're-setting' it.  it involved holding down the left & right <<&>> buttons, with yoiur thumbnails, while the ipod lays on a hard surface.  i had to go thru the steps a couple or 3 times, but it did finally work perfectly and has been working fine for months since!  good luck -

  • My ipodmy ipod shuffle 4th gen does not play whole songs, only parts then goes on to next song

    My recently bought ipod shuffle 4th gen does not play whole songs synced to it, only the beginning then goes on to the next song.  What have I done wrong?

    I changed the iPod to Disk mode and it just blinks orange while it is connected to the PC. It says that it is synched on the PC screen but I thought the blinking orange light means that it isn't. I took it back out of disk mode. The original problem still exists...when I turn it on, the green light stays lit for 5 seconds then there's no light at all....when I press play the lights alternate orange and green indicating no music is loaded which is wrong since it shows all my songs that are loaded when it is connected to my PC. What a mess.

  • I have a Sony Mini HiFi ((CMT-BX70DBI) and my 4th gen does not fit on the iPod dock. I assume I need a new adaptor but don't know which one??

    I have a Sony Mini HiFi (CMT- BX70DBI) and my 4th gen does not fit on the dock. I assume I need an adaptor, but which one?

    If the Sony uses the Universal Dock System you need this adopter.  If it does not they try Sony.

  • My iPod dispalys this message: "Connect to a computer. Use iTunes to restore."  When I connect to a computer, iTunes doesn't recognise it.  The iPod 5th Gen does not work at all. How do I fix my iPod without losing any data?

    "Connect to a computer. Use iTunes to restore."  When I connect to a computer, iTunes doesn't recognise it.  The iPod 5th Gen does not work at all. How do I fix my iPod without losing any data?
    I have seen the Apple webpage suggesting the "five R's" (including restore).  Before doing anything, I want to be sure that restoring or any other action is not going to delete or risk my data. 
    I would be very grateful if anyone can suggest a fix for this problem, in a way that will not risk my data. 
    Thanks in advance!

    Did you try a hard reset with the iPod still connected to your PC?  Have you tried multiple USB ports, preferably high powered USB 2.0 ports?
    To do a hard reset, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Have you also worked through each and every single troubleshooting suggestion in this Apple support document?

    Likely this:
    Errors related to third-party security software
    Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 40, 1000, 9006
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps underAdvanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.
    Restore your device while connected to a different network.
    Restore using a different computer.
