Hello carmenfrommckinney,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I'm not sure what error you're receiving when trying to join a Wi-Fi network, but the article below has great troubleshooting for issues with connecting to Wi-Fi networks.

    Do other devices successfully connect to the network?
    Does the iPod successfully connect to other networks?
    - 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 networks settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

  • Difficulties with my WiFi connection

    I have a satelite serie laptop and i'm having trouble with my wifi, i connect well to my routeur but often i get disconnected, when i'm running a game + full screen application in front of it => disconnection, when i'm connected by ethernet i do not have this problem...

    Hi
    Yeah, the detailed information about the notebook could be very useful.
    But the driver update is a good idea for the first.
    You can also check the settings in the properties of this card in the device manger.
    There should be some interesting options which could be changed.

  • On 3G we cannot send emails from either our iPhones or iPad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all.  Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Email account.  What is causing this and what do we need to do to resolve it?

    On 3G we cannot send  Business emails from either our iPhones or Ipad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all.  Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Account using both 3G and WiFi.
    We bought the iPhones and Ipad so that we could send emails while we are out of the Office, but we are not able to do this unless we can find a WiFi connection. Incoming emails are fine.  We use IMAP, for Business emails just incase this is relevant and I know that Hotmail is POP3.
    Our technical IT knowledge is not great, so we look forward to your suggestions as to how to resolve this. 

    Contact whomever supports the email account and get the correct Outgoing email server settings from them.

  • I am having problems with the wifi connection on my ipad 4th generation only 3 weeks old. Have left it back to the shop i bought it in and they said they have to send it away now i am left with no ipad. What after sales support do you give really?

    Does anyone else have problems with the wifi connection on their 4th generation  Mine keeps going off line and its only 3 weeks old.I had the ipad mini and this problem never existed. I brought it back to the shop where i bought it Expert Laois last week and they said they couldnt find a problem but had to take it back today as it keeps disconneting from wifi still, anyway they are sending it back for repair and it am left with no ipad.  After spending in excess of 700e i feel that this is really bad after sales service.  I bought something that i want to use now and cant so what  a waste of money it is .

    Thankyou, but the shop said that they spoken to apple and that they have now changed their policy and that they do not give a replacement.  So are you telling me that their information is false.  Also what should they have done.  This problem has existed since i bought it.?????  What should i do?????

  • Can I use ipod touch 5th to mirror my screen on Apple TV via Airplay with out wifi connection?

    Can I use ipod touch 5th to mirror my screen on Apple TV via Airplay with out wifi connection?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Peer-to-peer AirPlay
    With peer-to-peer AirPlay, your iOS device and Apple TV don't need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. If you have one of these products, you can use peer-to-peer AirPlay:
    * iPhone 5 or later, iPad (3rd generation or later), iPad mini, or iPod touch (5th generation) using iOS 8 or later.
    * Apple TV (3rd generation rev A, model A1469 or later) with Apple TV software 7.0 or later. Find out which Apple TV model you have.
    To use peer-to-peer AirPlay, your iOS device needs to have both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on.

  • I am having trouble with the initial connection. I have isolated the problem to the cable/ connection. My new hdmi cable has a resolution up to 1080p...does the resolution matter?is this the right hdmi cable for the apple tv?

    I am having trouble with the initial connection of the apple tv. I have isolated the problem to the cable/connection. My new hdmi cable has a resolution up to 1080p...does the resolution matter?is this the right hdmi cable for the apple tv?

    There are only two types of HDMI cables (standard and high speed - listen to all 1.2, 1.3 etc etc nonsense they will try to tell in the store) both types will work with the Apple TV.
    The cable may be faulty though, have you got another to try, what exactly is happening.

  • I upgraded Lion recently to 10.7.3. Since that time I am having trouble with my wireless connection. All other devices are fine, but I keep losing the connection since the upgrade.

    Recently I upgraded Lion to 10.7.3. Since that time I have been having a lot of trouble with my internet connection. I keep losing the connect and have to go to diagnostics and turn it back on. Is anyone else having this problem?
    Thanks, Pat

    I'm afraid there are numerous threads on here discussing this problem. I posted in this one earlier that has a couple of suggestions, but the real solution will hopefully be provided in an update from Apple:

  • I am having trouble with exchange account connection .the vpn connects fine but the exchange account is still showing the yellow light .can anyone help?

    i am having trouble with exchange account connection .the vpn connects fine but the exchange account is still showing the yellow light .can anyone help?

    I had a similar problem.  Here is how I resolved the issue.
    1.  Remove Network Connect
    2. Run Terminal and remove /usr/local/juniper and everything within the juniper directory.
    3. Reboot the machine and reinstall Network Connect
    4. Test if you can now connect.
    During removal, you may encounter permission denied error, you will need to change the permission to 777.  For example "sudo chmod 777 nc".

  • Please advise what might be wrong with my WIFI connection and the app store!

    When trying to download apps via the apple app store, it will take ages to pop up with the password box, and then will just time out eventually after giving the me "waiting" icon.
    When I disable wifi and connect over 3g the apps will download fine. It cant be anything wrong with the internet connection because my work iphone connects fine and downloads apps without problems (albeit on a diffrent ios version - mine is latest), this phone also goes through the same router.
    I've tried forgetting the network AND resetting the network settings i've even restored the entire phone via itunes to factory settings but to no avail - does anyone have any ideas at all - as i'm pulling my hair out!!
    P.S - One other thing to add is: once the app has been downloaded with 3g it will work flawlessly with the wifi connection on the phone, its purely just a download issue with the app store!!

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
