New Ipod Touch, WiFi problem.

I just got my Ipod yesterday brought it home hooked up connected to my WiFi fine. Now today I keep getting "Unable To Join Network" message. I've checked a few sites to see what to do and am still getting the same error.
Any help would be great as I have no idea what to do.

But when I go back to home screen it says I'm connected to WiFi but browsers or nothing work still.
That indicator only means your touch can connect to the router - not that the router has connected your touch to the Internet.
Go to: Settings>Wi-Fi then touch the blue triangle to the right of the router you are connected to. What IP Address is shown? (If it starts with 169.xxx, the address is self assigned and the router hasn't connected to to the Internet.)

New ipod touch syncing problems?

My old laptop crashed and subsequently i couldn't save all my music. All of my music is however on my old ipod (around 2800 songs compared to 2400 on itunes).
I've got a new ipod touch and want to get all of my 2800 songs on it, but it only has 2400. I tried this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329 but it hasn't worked and i'm clueless as to how to actually get all of my music from my old ipod onto itunes and my new ipod.
On another note, all of the songs in my new ipod on itunes are grey and therefore unplayable. Any ideas as to why?

I still have 400 songs less on my library than on my old ipod. I plugged my ipod touch into my computer to see if it was still the same, and now none of my applications work either! Can anyone tell me what's going on? Or should i just take my laptop and both ipods to the Apple store and see if there's anything they can do?

Brand new Ipod touch 5g problems

I purchased one of the new colored Ipod touches, however, whenever I attempt to connect it to itunes it is stuck in recovery mode. When I attempt to put it in my computer, the computer asks me to recover it's software, however, I will download 6.0.1 and it will then proceed to say that it cannot connect to the server. After that it will ask me if I want to restore it again and will be stuck in a loop of not being able to recognize the software downloaded and restoring the device, are there any suggestions or people who have experienced the same thing?
Thanks,
Drew.

If you are using the latest version of iTunes on your Mac, and you are not using any anti-virus or other such nonsense on your Mac, and you still cannot contact Apple's update server, I think it's time to avail yourself of Apple's complimentary 90 days of telephone support.
You really ought not to spend so much time trying to fix a new iPod Touch on your own. Call them in the morning.
Until then read this if you want more ideas: iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting

Ipod touch WiFi problems to be fixed in 3.0 Firmware?

Basically, I bought my ipod touch brand new about a month ago (2G, 2.2.1 firmware). Ever since I opened it (approx. 2 weeks ago) the WiFi has been pretty sketchy. I get an error "server stopped responding" a lot (maybe like 2-8 mins of browsing) on safari as well as apps.
I took my problem to the apple store and the guy basically did a diagnostic and said nothing was wrong, but my apps were crashing a lot. He did a complete wiping of the hard drive (back to factory with all of my apps gone and stuff) and basically It still doesn't work right.
So, Should I go back to the apple store? Or, Are these problems planned on being fixed in the 3.0 Firmware? If you have any other solutions please let me know

Welcome to Apple Discussions
3.0 is supposed to have some WiFi fixes - I'll let you know in a week or so. However, your problem with WiFi is most likely a router or DNS problem. The router part is easy - just reboot it by unplugging it and then plug it back in. DNS problems are an ISP issue and if that is what is going on, you should notice the same type of lag with your MacBook.
Fixing DNS problems are reasonably easy. Check out OpenDNS.com which will provide you with both instructions and an alternate to your ISP's service.
App problems can be caused by many things, including the app itself. What the Genius did for you at the Apple store was to restore you iPod to new. You can download your apps again without having to pay for them.

New iPod Touch Wifi won't stay connected?

Just bought new 16 GB iPod Touch, and it won't stay connected to my home WiFi. Even after a reset of network connection, re-enter WiFi info and Touch connects for a few minutes and then loses connectivity even tho WiFi bars still show. Turning WiFi off and on does not fix problem. Turning iPod off and back on will allow Touch to reconnect, but again only for a few minutes at best.

Does the iPod work OK with other networks?
Do other devices work OK?
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
- 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 make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Ipod touch Wifi problem... Please Help :(

Hi. Ive just recently started having trouble with my ipod touch. I cant stand more then 10 yrds away witout it detecting my wifi. All my other devices work fine. Ive tried reseting my ipods and making it back to its normal form and resetting the network and still no result. Ive also turned it off for a few mins and still no results . I recently did though get a little crack on my ipod touch maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago on the top left part of the screen I dont know if that has anything to do with it or what... Idk what I can do. Could someone give me some advice. Should I go to an apple store today? How much might it cost to get this fixed?

Here is Apple's price list. I suspect a hardware problem and it may be related to what caused the cracked screen.

You may find that a third-party place like the following is less expensive:

Ipod Touch-WIFI Problems-Can't Connect More than One at Same time

I'm not an Ipod Touch user yet, but three family members are. Unfortunately, only one will connect to the Internet on our home wifi at a time. Each one works just fine on its own and will make the connection, but if one is already turned on it blocks the others. I have a laptop and it connects fine regardless of the Ipod Touch issues. I'm using a Linksys router if that matters. Looked everywhere but can't find someone experiencing similar issues. Thanks for any ideas/thoughts/help!

Take a look at your router's settings for DHCP. Normally there is range associated for the allocation of IP addresses for wireless devices. For example, you would set DHCP to on, IP address range from 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.128. The normal defaults on the router should have given you an adequate range of address but you may have inadvertently changed something.

3rd Gen Ipod Touch WiFi problems

my brother has a 1st gen ipod and its wifi is working fine downstairs in our house, my new 3rd gen will not recieve a signal in the exact same place, any ideas?

See:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
It is frequently a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
I would also try placing the iPod in a bag of uncooked rice for a couple of days to ensure the iPod is dry.

New iPod Touch arrived from Apple today - Wifi inoperable

Brand New iPod Touch 32G just showed up from Apple via Fed-Ex today. First thing I tried was to join my Home Wifi. Same result as everyone else. DHCP is failing and the device gets a self-assigned IP address 169.254.X.X.
Before you start asking me about my router et. al., know that I have been working on this issue for 5 hours now. Had Apple on the phone for over an hour. They had me completely strip out iTunes on my Mac, and re-download and install it. I've upgraded to iOS 4.3.3, did a complete Restore of my BRAND NEW iPod, Reset Network Settings, h*ll I reset the entire device even after a FULL RESTORE. Tried Airplane mode On/Off. WiFi On/Off. Etc.
The clincher was taking this FULLY RESTORED iPod Touch to the Starbuck's across the street, next to a Verizon store. This device cannot even get on Starbuck's WiFi nor Verizon's WiFi - BOTH Public and Open.
I have a Verizon MiFi Mobile Hotspot as well - Same symptoms - No assigned IP.
I was able to get networking to my home Wifi to work, BUT ONLY IF I SET A STATIC IP PARAMETRICS. This is a solution to my Home Network, but not for ALL the OTHER Public WiFi networks out there.
Multiple Networks - Apple has a REAL problem here!!!
Please! Suggestions are welcome, but please don't ask me to repeat all the diagnostics I've already done.
(I wish these things were as easy to diagnose as my Android devices! At least I can shell in and see what's going on in those!)

4.3.3 does this on one of my four devices...with just one source.
Work with static router I.P. as best you can and wait for an iOS update.

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected. Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices. After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected. Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP. Any solutions other than turning it on and off again? Not a Merry Christmas morning.

Ok, so, a couple of things: Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod. Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel. Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem. Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet. Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod.
Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,

Brand new iPod touch won't do anything over WiFi

My iPod touch arrived in the mail this morning and since I charged it up it either a) browses extremely slow in Safari and then quits or b) continues to claim there is no network connection.
I currently have it downgraded to WEP and now nothing works, Mail, Safari, not even the Weather app will update. YouTube has never worked at all.
I'm on 2.1.1 software and have since discovered this forum is full of WiFi problems. Needless to say I am very dissatisfied with this and had I known the iPod touch is absolutely useless for WiFi I would've saved $100 and just got a nano instead.

Hi. I read through this thread and many others (seems many people have problems connecting iPod Touches to the internet) and have tried to connect my iPod touch. I have a Linksys WRT5G V8 router, a Zyxel -600 Series modem, a PC running windows xp, and a MacBook. My PC and Macbook run fine. My iPod touch does not.
I have updated the firmware. I have made a full bridge connection. I have restored my iPod. I have power cycled the modem and router.
If you will bear with me, I will now post what my setting are on my router with the hopes someone will be able to help me make a connection with my iPod. I should point out that like others, I am able to connect to the internet, but not download any pages or send/receive mail.

So....by looking at the above, can someone please tell me what to do to make the iPod touch connect to the internet and download pages?
I have spent hours upon hours and then more hours trying to make this thing work. I paid and additional fee to Linksys to have them troubleshoot the problem but the first guy i spoke with said I had to do the bridge connection so we hung up and when he called back, I was out and he never called back so I called Linksys. Despite the fact that I explained how I had spoken with an advanced tech, the man would not transfer me and insisted my problem was solved because my pc, laptop, and iPod did connect to the network -- never mind the fact that 1 of the three didn't work properly which was the sole purpose of my phone call to begin with.
I would really like to get the iPod going -- my daughter just bought her's and is anxiously looking forward to being able to use it.
In closing, I'm wondering if I should give up with this particular router and buy a new one...but which new one? The Apple tech recommended either an Airport Extreme or Airport Express -- has anyone had success connecting these to iPod Touches?????
Thanks!

Brand new ipod touch 3 frustrating slow wifi

Dear all, I just opened my brand new iPod Touch 3 yesterday and it connected to my wifi network without any issue.
But then, the browsing has been a joke. Not a funny one. It is slow like you have no idea. I could load only 4 pages in the whole evening. The google front was one of them.
I was sitting right next to the router. It didn't help.
I cannot say I was loosing the connection. Only that loading any page was next to impossible.
My provider of internet is www.get.no in Norway.

Update: I previously advised the following quoted manual set up. I thought had solved problem but it returned. I now have found I think the real root of slow iTouch on Airport Wifi Network. Seems wireless telephone is interfering on 2.4 freq. Channel for 2.4 Freq was set on 1. I have now changed to channel 6. I have now being operating Two iTouch at same time for several hours with no freeze and acceptable speed. Anyone else having hang ups, slow operation, etc. would suggest trying channel change on 2.4 Freq., especially if you have wireless tel. in house.
Brad
Quote of Maculu manual set up
You open Airport Utility, click on manual setup, enter your WiFi password, click on wireless tab, click on radio mode drop down box, pick 802.11a/n-802.11b/g instead of automatic, Now click radio channel selection and pick manual, pick any random channel for each of the 2 frequencies.

Brand new iPod Touch 4G won't reconnect to WPA Enterpise wifi network

I have a brand new iPod Touch 4G. Wifi connection at home, where I have a WPA2 "personal" network, works great. However, at the office, I have a WPA/WPA2 Enterprise network. The network is not hidden, but the only way I can connect to it is via the "Other..." option, because I need to specify WPA Enterprise. This means I need to type in the network name, my userid, and my password to connect to it.
The problem is that after being asleep for about 15 minutes, the iPod is not able to reconnect to the network. When the iPod awakes, it does not automatically connect to the network. When I go to the Wi-Fi Networks setting, I can see the network name in the list. If I click on it, my iPod says, "Unable to hoin the network xxxxx". If I click on the (>) next to the name, I'm given the option to forget the network, which means that the iPod remembers the network, but somehow it can't connect to it. My option is to "forget" the network and re-establish it by hand. Obviously, this is not acceptable.

I know WEP is bad, but the other thread implies that some iPods/iPhones running iOS 5.01 show WEP Enterprise as an option. It seems to me that my iPod has a different wifi chip in it, which is why it's broken, even though my iPad running 5.01 works. Maybe the new wifi chip does not support WEP Enterprise? It does offer regular WEP though, so I'm still confused.

New Ipod Touch 5g can't access Internet in home network (using Linksys E4200 router). But, OK with other Wifi.

Just bought new Ipod Touch 5g. I found out it can't access Internet in home network. not really cannot access, but very slow to open any web page, App Store failed to access, etc. But, OK with other Wifi (office & starbucks). Others existing iOS devices (Iphone4 & Ipad2) have no problem like this. I'm using Linksys E4200 router at home. anyone has any idea why?

Try:
- Reset 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.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
