My network is active but it says it's not when I go to update my iPod. How can I fix this?

Question

My network connectivity is correct and active but it says it isn't when I go to update my iPod on my PC. It says that the iPod update server cannot be contacted because of this. How can I get my Network to work on my iTunes so I can update my iPod?

Answer 1

“When an Apple iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod) connects to a WiFi network, the first thing it does is make a request to the URL http://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html.
The purpose of this request is to discover if there is a “captive portal” in the way. A captive portal is when, after connecting to the WiFi, any web request you makes gets redirected to a login/ToS page. In order to continue, you must either login with a username/password (or sign up, then login), and/or access the Terms of Service.”
So, it should automatically resolve your problem just after the update, however, if you are unlucky and are still having the same problem, you can follow the simple steps to fix this:
How to Fix Wi-Fi problem after iOS 6 upgrade :
Go to setting and tap on Wi-Fi and Turn it “On” and then “Off”
The second way is to set up the device’s HTTP Proxy to Auto: Go to “Settings” > “Wi-Fi” > Arrow Next to your Wi-Fi Network > scroll down and set it to auto.
That’s it! This will surely solve your problem.
