My iPod won't connect to my network.

I have a recently purchased iPod Touch 5 generation, that was updated to iOS 8.2.
It is failing to connect to my home network, and I cannot understand why.
The MAC address was added onto my MAC address filter (I know some may say to turn it off but I can't, I'm not the network admin and they are stubborn as a mule when it comes to leaving the filter on. -_-), but it won't connect.
Initially it just said it was failing to connect, so I assumed an error was made in entering the MAC address to the filter, but the address matched.
Now it is saying 'incorrect password' even though the password is valid (I checked it at least three times before entering it).
It connects to my mobile phone's hotspot just fine if I turn it on, but that isn't a viable solution due to data restrictions.
I am at a loss as to why it won't connect to my Wi-Fi.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
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.

After updating my iPod to 5.0.1 it won't connect to wireless networks

Anyone noticing this problem? I updated to 5.0.1 but now the iPod won't connect to the wireless network. It's not a network problem because my iPad is connected to the same network and I also used this network to update my iPod. It didn't have the problem until after the update. Any ideas? Thanks

Mine works after the 5..0.1 update. Have you tried:
- Resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Resetting network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Powering off and then back on your router.

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.

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.

Hp C4580 printer won't connect to wireless network, but see network is available.

I've sat through quite a few of the threads here with regard to photsmart C4580 printer not connecting to wireless network.
My issues started with a cartridge issue, which I resolved with a new cartridge, but only after trying out different solution offered on HP forum.
Now printer won't connect to my network which it has been connected to for over 2 years with no issues. The wireless network is working perfectly fine and I even printed out a HP photosmart C4500 series connectivity status and in this report printer can see the network I need to connect to.
I've tried downloading various programs from Scan doctor to complete install of all HP programs and even tried installing printer from Windows 7 "add a printer", but none can see this printer.
lastly I was hoping trying to locate IP address for printer which looks like it may help, but report says IP Address "not applicable".
I believe printer, wireless network and PC are working correctly, this there a way to switch printer to online so it can be seen.
Help would be great.

My iMac won't connect to my network

My iMac won't connect to the internet anymore. I can only get internet connection through someone elses network.
It connected okay to my network when I first plugged it in. Everything was coming up roses and such. I'm thinking though it might have something to do with my pc. I gave my mom my pc and cleaned off everything. After re-installing the drivers, programs, and re-installing the wireless info on the pc, my mac won't connect to the network
There is a password for connecting to the network a wep 128. But my mac keeps telling me the password is wrong. And the only way to connect to the interent for me is via the Dlink connection.
We have a Linksys Wireless Router (WRT54G)
My mom has windows XP with wireless capability
My mac has the airport extreme already in the computer
I'm sure the problem is something really simple and minor and that I will kick myself for not figuring it out. :S
But any help would be great
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

The only other connection I get is through a unsecured dlink.
I tried using network assistant to get on the linksys network but when I put in the password for it I keep getting a message that says invalid.

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?

Iphone won't connect to wifi network

iPhone won't connect to a wifi network - just get a message saying it won't connect to the network (it doesn't give me a message that I've got the password wrong). Other devices do join the network OK
What should I do to try t resolve it?

Hi,
I bought my iPhone 4s yesterday and I'm having the same problem, my laptop, my old HTC Legend and my work macbook all connect to my wifi no problems. My iPhone won't.
I've read through everything I can find on here, and on Sky help and have tried:
Resetting router
Resetting network settings on iphone
Using MAC address access control on the router
Changing channels on the router
Switching everything off and on
Someone suggested doing 'forget network' on the iphone, but I can't find this option
Turning off 3G and mobile data and trying to connect
Checking password is correct (it is)
Kind of at a loss now as to what I can do, I've emailed Sky and waiting for their advice, but should I take it back to the shop to exchange it? Everything else I have connects just fine, no problem.
It just says "unable to join network"
Anyone help?
Thanks

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.

My Powermac G4 AGP won't connect to a network through an airport card.

I have a powermac G4 AGP that won't connect to any networks via airport wireless card. An error message pops up on the screen after trying to connect. Displayed is "There was an error when trying to connect to the preferred network." Can anyone help me with this?

Hi Scott,
What Encryption do those Networks use... Open, WEP, WPA, WPA2?
The Original 802.11b Airport card cannot do WPA2, most will do WPA with a Firmware update, it should do WEP or Open networks.
Do any of those Routers support 802.11b/g, or just 802.11n?

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

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

My mac book won't connect to any networks.

My mac book 7,1 won't connect to any networks (wireless connection) . It says "ALERT NO INTERNET CONNECTION" . The configuration IPv4 is on: Using DHCP. So, I don't understand why it's telling me this, and how i can fix it.

What do the Apple OS X network diagnostics report:
 > System Preferences > Network > Assist Me... > Diagnostics ...
about your network connection?
Do the networking problems here also effect connections via a wired network?
Have you tried a different wireless network? Does connecting at a library, café or Apple store work?
I'm going to assume that you're not running OS X Server 10.6 on this MacBook — that would be unusual — and that you're probably running the client version of OS X 10.6, and are here in this forum because you saw the 10.6 in the forum title. If I'm wrong here, there can potentially be other triggers for the network outage. OS X Server management is rather different from whe OS X that Apple installs on a MacBook.
