TS1398 ipod wont connect to public wifi?

My iPod wont connect to public wifi, but it connects to my home wifi without a problem?  how do i fix this??

I believe I may have solved this
When you can't log into public WiFi ...
with an iDevice…
because the Server times out ...
or the login/registration page just won't load ...
  ********Simply do this***********
Go into settings> WiFi and tap the little info icon for the network you are trying to join
If you see two slider buttons, these are the cause of your woes
One says "Auto Join" (or similar) - you can leave this ON
The second button is "Auto Login" - you must turn this OFF (slide it left so it is grey not green)
Now go back and reselect the network.
If the login page doesn't come up automatically, open a Safari window and enter any address
Bingo!
I have reproduced this issue and solution in 100% of the public WiFi spots which I could previously not access. Please not that I also have "Block Pop-Ups" turned OFF in Settings> Safari, though I do not know if this is a necessary step.
I have filed a bug report with Apple. Feel free to contact them yourselves if this workaround works for you.
Peace y'all

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend 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

    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.

  • My ipod wont connect to my wifi after ios5 update

    Hi everyone,
    I just got a 4th gen iPod, and I had trouble setting it up because it couldn't connect to my wi-fi connection. I had to set it up through iTunes instead.
    When I go to the Wi-Fi screen in Settings, pick my network name and enter the password, the Wi-Fi icon shows at the top of the screen but there is no checkmark next to the network name in Settings. It still shows the loading wheel, and when I open Safari it tells me that it can't load pages because it cannot connect.

    - 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.

  • My ipod touch (4th) suddenly wont connect to my wifi. Other gadgets are connected though. I tried resetting the network and turning the wifi (and ipod) on and off but it still wont work. Any suggestions on what to do?

    My ipod touch (4th) suddenly wont connect to my wifi. It connected fine before and all of my other electronics (tablets, computers, laptops, gaming systems, etc.) are connected and working completely fine. I tried turning the wifi setting on my ipod on/off as well as the actual ipod itself. I also tried resetting the network settings but neither of these options worked. Any suggestions on what I should do?

  • TS1398 My iPod wont connect to my wi fi

    My iPod wont connect to my wi fi. It was connected and working fine, it just stopped. There are no wi fi options when I go into settings. I have an iPad and a second iPod that are connected to my wifi and working fine.

    Maybe:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

    My paper work for my linksys says WEP 64 bits. I've tried changing my IPOD to that and it will say put in password and when I do I get "invalid password" or can not connect. This has been in the last few weeks. I have researched this for the last 2 weeks, called apple and they said it's not my IPOD, called Linksys and they want to charge $30 to fix it. How do I change my router without totaly not messing it up?

  • Issue with Connecting to Public Wifi

    Hi All,
    Really need some help. Recently purchased an iPad mini and I m having loads of problems connecting to public wifi. It connects fine to home wifi and my Iphone 4 connects to the public wifi. Been through all the searches on the Internet for a fix but really cannot understand why it will not connect. Basically I can the wifi network to show and then when I connect it just comes with a error message saying "hotspot login cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet". Have tried resets / setting changes etc - basically all the settings advice you find on the Internet and help desk on apple. The most frustrating thing is that I work in a place that sells iPad mini and we have a demo model for customers that connects without any problem ? Yet when I try stood next to it an iPad wont. I have tried other iPad mini and they come up with the same problem. Any help would be much appreciated !

  • Iphone4 wont connect to home wifi connects to neighbors..others iphones ipads connect to this wifi cannot change it and cannot access apps store. Does nor request password just "cannot access"

    Iphone 4 wont connect to home wifi but connects to neighbors open wifi.  Family members with iphones can connect to the wifi automatically and Mac compiuter in home connects to this wifi and this iphone did connect automaticcally until a few weeks ago.  Does not request password when try to connect to own wifi..just says "cant access.". Also cant access the Apple apps store to purchase apps but all other function operate normally. Apple store tech says nothing wrong with phone. It connected to their wifi and coud access apps store from their wifi.     This iphone belongs to son who is autistic.  I am mother trying to resolve this issue and very frustrated.  Have reset router but no change.

    Based on the symptoms, your phone is fine, and the Router is the problem.   Try http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398.  Specifically the "forget this network" step.  I would also consider resetting the wifi network password.  Sometimes that will allow a connection.

    My iPod wont connect to the iTunes Store when I am about to get an app when I go to enter my password it says it can't connect to iTunes Store. What do I do?

    Don't worry a lot of people, including me, are having this problem.  I think it's a problem going on at Apple's end, hopefully it will be up soon.

  • MY MAC WONT CONNECT TO MY WIFI BUT WILL CONNECT TO OTHERS

    My imac wont connect to my wifi but will connect to the person downstairs from me. it works once and a while but never for more then a few mins...could it have something to do with the router?

    Hello Trey,
    Without knowing anything about your WiFI system, my opinion is that your wifi signal is either, weaker than your downstairs neighbor, or more likely, your wi fi system is suffering from interference.  The first thing you should do is change the channel it is operating on.  See if that helps.  
    I tend to think it is not the router, but can only offer a guess, since you did not describe your system.

  • My mac wont connect to my wifi.

    My macbookpro wont connect to my wifi, or any wifi for that matter, it used to be able to but then one day it just stopped, sometimes when i log into my acounts i find it connected to my wifi but then it will log out after 2 minutes. It might have been something i did to my mac (unintentionally) because my other computers are fine, does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi thewhiteapple, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    See if this helps...
    Go to System Preferences
    Click Network
    Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
    Choose “By default, join: Preferred networks”
    Select your access point.
    Remove your access point with the minus button.
    Launch your keychain access in Utilities and delete your access point keychain entry.
    Reboot
    Go back to the “By default, join:” page and click the plus this time to add your access point. Enter the correct password, save, reboot.
