My ipod touch 4g wifi randomly disconnects, any solution? my firmware is 4.3.1.

Hi,
I have an ipod 4th gen. It has firmware 4.3.1. I have a very annoying problem that my wifi gets disconnected randomly with no particular reason. The signal strength is excellent in my laptop. Also, when I see safari not responding, and then when I open settingh->wifi, after a few moment the ssid automatically appears and it shows connected, but as soon as I am away from this page and go to safari, it again disconnects. It is quite annoying, I searched the web forums and only saw people with problems with no solution. Will apple do something about their product.

Even through you think it connects, I doubt that it has.  Tap Settings > WiFi > and then tap the blue ">" next to the network name with the check mark.  What you will see next is all of your connection information.
If you are truly connected, your device will have an IP address, a full subnet mask, a router IP address and a couple of DNS addresses.  However, I think you will either have nothing or a device IP address that starts with 169.x.  What you are seeing is caused by your router, not your touch.
Things that may cause this are old routers, old router firmware, WEP encryption, a router that hasn't been rebooted in a while, and so on.  You might want to check your router first  - is there a firmware upgrade available, have I actually ever shut the thing off, am I using WEP (change to WPA2 which is far more secure), etc.  Then try this:
Reboot your router by unplugging it from the power source
Reset the touch network settings - tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
When the touch restarts, tap Settings > WiFi > Other and re-enter your network name, security, and network password.

    First take a look at this article by clicking on the link:

    You may have to restore the device to default factory setting, and either restore from backup or set up the device as new.
    If, after restoring the device, and either restoring from backup or setting up as new doesn't fix your issue, then you may be experiencing a hardware issue with your touch screen and service will be needed on the device.
    I hope you have been backing up to iCloud or iTunes on your pc or mac.
    Let me know if this helps.

    For some reason, iOS 6 has decided to download on my iPod Touch through WiFi. I didn't request it, nothing is set to automatically update in the Touch settings, or iTunes. It seemed to start downloading when I  synced the Touch. I've disconnected the Touch from WiFi temporarily. How can I cancel the download, or will there be an option when it's done downloading to cancel the install?
    Thanks for any help...

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • Safari on iPod touch will no longer open any web pages even after reset.

    My iPod touch will no longer open any web pages via Safari. I am connected to WiFi and other apps work fine (mail for example). I connected to Itunes and did a reset - still no luck. S/w is up to date for this version of touch - 4.x.

  • Problems connecting powerbook to ipod touch through wifi

    Hi,
    I searched for previous posts but couldn't find a solutuion. I have been using the high speed internet from my powerbook to connect to my iPod Touch through wifi to be able to use the internet on my ipod close to my computer.
    I have been using the advise of "mrtotes" on another apple discussion. I copied the URL and the part of the discussion that I use.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1240824
    "Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions,
    OS X's IP firewall is probably blocking incoming Port 80 requests (i.e. web traffic).
    Go to  menu > System Preferences... > Sharing > and under Services check "Web Sharing".
    I assume you already have switched on Internet Sharing on the Internet section under Services on the Sharing pane and are "Sharing your connection from": "Built-in Ethernet". To computers using "Airport".
    To secure the connection (recommended) go to  menu > System Preferences... > Sharing > Internet section. Click on "Airport Options..." and check "Enable encryption (using WEP)". Then enter a password twice. Users will need to enter this password to share your connection, although you should be aware even 128bit WEP isn't all that secure.
    cheers
    mrtotes"
    I have been using these instructions successfully to connect my ipod to my powerbook for several months but now it has stopped working. When I get to System preferences>sharing>interenet and I select "Share yur connection from: Built-in ethernet", the only opions I have for "To computers using:_______" are "Built-in Ethernet" and "buildt-in Firewire" nothing about airport. Also at the bottom of the sharing window the "Airport Options" is greyed out and I can't select it. So I went to system preferences>network and my airport is listed but "Airport is currently off" So I click "Connect..." and the "Internet connect" window opens to the "airport" tab. "Airport Power: Off" and everything is greyed out so I can't select anything. And at the bottom of the window. "Status: No Airport Hardware found". So I went to the system profiler clicked on "network" on the left hand side, then clicked on "Airport" at the top right under "active services" and then looked a the information on the lower right side of the window:
    AirPort:
    Type: AirPort
    Hardware: AirPort
    BSD Device Name: en1
    IPv4:
    Configuration Method: DHCP
    IPv6:
    Configuration Method: Automatic
    Proxies:
    Proxy Configuration Method: Manual
    ExcludeSimpleHostnames: 0
    FTP Passive Mode: Yes
    Auto Discovery Enabled: No
    Strangely, If instead of clicking on "Network" on the left side, I open up the drop down list under "network" (i.e. Airport card, firewiall, locations, modems, volumes) and click on "airport Card", I'm told "no information found"
    Any solutions?

  • I want to give my old iPhone 4 to my grandson to use like an iPod Touch. Wifi only. How do I deactivate my info..so he can buy his own apps. and not have the cloud pushing all of my data to the old phone?

    I want to give my old iPhone 4 to my grandson to use like an iPod Touch. Wifi only. How do I deactivate my info..so he can buy his own apps. and not have the cloud pushing all of my data to my old phone?
    Just turning off Cloud will not prevent him from turning it back on.
    Rignt now, if he uses the App store, iTunes thinks it's talking to me.

    First, turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account, while your sim is still in the phone. Then: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Give it to your grandson & he gat then set it up as he wants.
    Important your turn iMessage & FaceTime off to disassociate the phone from your Apple ID. Apple "claims" to have fixed this with iOS 6.0, but until I can absolutely confirm such, I still recommend you turn all of that stuff off first.

    If a restore did not fix it, you have a hardware issue--possible bad wi-fi radio.

  • When i plug my headphones into my ipod touch 5 i cant hear any music i tried 2 different headphones what should i do

    when i plug my headphones into my IPOD touch 5 i cant hear any music i tried 2 different headphones what should i do

    Hey Ehlam Managua, You have tried a different set of headphones, still no joy-- OK. (1st step in trouble shooting completed). Just to be clear the sound still works through the speaker, correct? If so, try quickly plugging / unplugging the headphone jack about 12 times, there is a tiny switch inside the port that may be stuck closed. If so the plugging / unplugging should free it up. If still no joy, have you tried turning your iPod off then turn it back on? If that doesn't work go into Setting>General>Reset then tap Reset All Settings. If still no joy, connect with your computer, make a full set of backups from this iPod to your computer, then Restore to Backup. If still won't work, Restore to New. If still nothing, could be dealing with a hardware issue. Contact your Apple store and set up an appointment to have your iPod evaluated.
