Unable to join network after dropping my ipod in the water... anyone know a solution?

I put my ipod in the pocket in the back of my jeans and when i went to the washroom, it fell into the toilet... I immediatey took it and dried it with a hairdryer and then a few hours after.. it was able to reopen again, but im unable to join my network ever since then...
Anyone can help me? Thanks.

Does it see any networks? If wifi is dim or grayed out see:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
However, it is frequently a hardware problem.
If can se networks, try:
- Resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Powering off and then back on the router
- Resetting network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reet Network Settingds

I dropped my phone in the water I know it's not covered with the Warranty so what can I do can I trad it in and get a new one and pay some kind of money or do I have too just buy a whole new phone?

The genius bar folks will be glad to help...and if you have backed up your iPhone in iCloud they will restore the backup to the replacement iPhone for you while you wait.
Call or email for an appointment, you don't want to add to your frustration by standing around waiting for someone to get free to help you.

Unable to join network after 3.0.1

I "upgraded" my iPhone from 3.0 to 3.0.1 last thursday and since then have been unable to join any of my wireless networks. I've been able to join all of these networks via my laptop so I know it isn't the APs. I reset the network settings on the phone via Settings->General->Reset->Reset Network Settings. Still nothing.
Anyone else having this trouble? Any easy solution? Should I attempt to go back to 3.0?

It has nothing to do with 3.0.1, which was a minor change to the SMS app. You probably have corrupted data in the backup that was restored when you did the update. Thus, going back to 3.0 won't fix it. You need to fix it in 3.0.1. Try first forgetting your network in WiFi settings for it. Then reboot and try to connect again. If that doesn't fix the problem then do a Restore in iTunes and choose to set up as a new phone. Test before adding back any apps or email accounts.

8gb 4th generation ipod touch is unable to join network

This started a couple days ago after I unplugged and re-plugged my router. The internet works fine on the computer, and on everyone else's phone in the house, but not on my ipod touch. I've tried resetting the network settings (multiple times), and unplugging my router while waiting 30 seconds or so to plug it back in. I do not think it is a password issue because I've entered my correct password multiple times as well and I only receive the "Unable to join the network ____", even when I input the incorrect password so I could test it, it resulted in me getting the "unable to join network" notification again. I don't know what else I can do to fix this problem and I would really appreciate some help on this issue.

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.

Always able to access wi fi except one says unable to join network

Says I am unable to join network doesn't give me the password box just says unable to join network

It may be that the battery is the issue. I am having the same problems - unable to log in to my WIFI at home, which I have never had an issue with until yesterday, when I started getting the "Unable to access XXX network".
I have tried everything including full iphone restore and router factory restore, but nothing. I did note that after having the phone switched off overnight, I was able to access my wireless network for about fifteen minutes then it just dropped the connection and now I am back to no access whatsoever.
Take a read here:

It is one of many internet postings on this issue and would make sense of the posting above mine..
I'm going to try reverting to 2.2.0 - people such as Leo Laporte on Macbreak Weekly have been complaining of battery issues since upgrading to 2.2.1

please guide me with your professional opinion . is this some sort of software glitch or hardware problem ? thanks

I don't know if this will work for you but I bought a new iPad Mini 3 this past week and I have Verizon Mifi. My new iPad mini3 would try to connect but couldn't. I went back to Verizon and the tech selected the option "Forget this network." When she did that, my Mifi came up again by itself. My iPad was searching for a connection and my Mifi showed up. After the connection showed up on it's own again, the tech was able to select the network and then selected the option to put in the password and that fixed the problem. I would have never thought selecting "Forget this network" would have worked but it did. I don't know if that will work for you.

IPad mini wifi cellar with 6.0.2 "unable to join network"

iPad mini wifi cellar with 6.0.2 "unable to join network"
my router is DLink Dir-615, and the iPhone 4(ios5.x),iPad2(ios5.x) and notbooks(windows 7) can connect to the router successfully.
And I tried to reset iPad mini's network, even reset all the settings, but still no luck.

These are my settings! (copy paste)
What do I have to do if they still would refuse the change it? In fact I just searched for the warranty policy of apple.. So I got an problem after an update of apple, they recongized its their fault, their software fault.. In their warranty you can read the following: Cover of breakdown service or replacement with regard to. --> Lacks which arise after supply to the customer. So in fact i should get a new one?! But i can't obey them or can I? What should I do?
EDIT: in my router logs I see this a few times: Blocked incoming TCP packet from 198.144.121.77:80 to 178.117.139.126:3072 as SYN:ACK received but there is no active connection What does it mean?

IPad 2 can't connect to WiFi/unable to join network

The iPad 2 (WiFi only) initially had no problems whatsoever in the first several months after I bought it. Then I didn't use Internet on the iPad for 2-3 months, as there was no WiFi for that time. Now when I try to connect it to my WiFi, it either temporarily connects with a slow, patchy connection (spinning processing symbol on the top left corner) or the "Unable to join network" message pops up. All my other iDevices connect perfectly at a high speed. I have tried the following to no avail:
Reset network settings
Reset all settings
Turned router off/on
Same room as router
Forget network
Turned WiFi settings off/on
Restored to factory settings 3X
Changed WiFi password
Changed WiFi security
Changed WiFi name

Can't turn off router at the hotel, it hasn't worked at any wifi hotspot. I just never really monkey with it.

Everytime i try to connect to wifi it says unable to join network

Everytime I try to connect to my wifi it says unable to join network, my iphone did this to but then I had my router firmware upgraded. So it shouldnt be that.

If you are unable to select Forget This Network for the network on your iPad, go to Settings > General > Reset and select Reset Network Settings. This will erase all wi-fi network settings from your iPad for every wi-fi network you have connected your iPad with.
If no change after this, do you connect your iPad to any other wi-fi network besides your own? If so, any problem connecting your iPad with any other wi-fi network?

Firmware 2.0.2 Ramifications: "Unable to Join Network"

It seems like ever since I put 2.0.2 on my 3G iPhone WiFi problems have suddenly entered the picture. I'm usually connected to my home WiFi network via a Belkin N1 Vision router. Ever since the 2.0.2 upgrade the WiFi connection gets repeatedly dropped/blocked. What I mean by that is that when I wake my phone up to use it, it doesn't connect to what was previously a working WiFi connection. When I dig into the available WiFi networks list and select my home network I get the "Unable to join network" alert. My only recourse is to restart the router.
This happens multiple times a day and it's bugging the crap out of me. Is anyone else experiencing this behavior? More to the point, does anyone have a solution short of continually restarting the router?

Rohan Thompson,
Have you tried resetting network settings on the iPhone yet? To do so, just navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
If the issue persists beyond that, I would recommend restoring the iPhone and setting it up as a new phone. More information on that can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Hope this helps,
Raleigh

HT4623 unable to join network

after update it says unable to join network

I tried all these setting this by the far the worst phone i have had in long time. About to give it up and go buy a real phone called samsung. Most frustrating crap ever. Does apple test this junk before they sell it? What before I hit join a network the message is a flash can join this network.!!!!!!
I guess soon apple will be out of business if they keep this quality up.

HT1695 unable to join network

unfortunatally at the moment when ever i try to join my home network it says unable to join network ! is this because i have a locked network or do i need to do something ??? HELP ME PLEASE.

What type of encryption are you using? Has the iPod ever been able to connect before? Have you worked through each and every suggestion in this Apple support document?

My iphone 3gs says "unable to join network "

My iphone 3 g would not join the network after my orange livebox was factory reset. I have tried all the usual iphone resets but still " unable to join network ". I change to wpa-personal but nothing.My sons iphone 3 g joins no problem so it must be an iphone issue. Its warranty expired april and was advise by apple to buy another phone ! bit expensive option ! Right now I am rething whether to continue the apple route.Anyone have any ideas how to resolve ?

Hi, the livebox has two buttons . One is a reset and the other a wifi button that's all. What baffles me is that when my son factory reset the livebox [ by insering a paperclip end in the little hole] that's when I lost network contact BUT his iphone 3g became enabled but not mine ! bizarre ! Appreciate your ideas !

Unable to join network on Iphone5

sudenly my iPhone 5 gives this message "Unable to Join the network ..." when i try to join my WiFi at home. i tried resetting the router, rest the network settings on my iPhone, but still get same error message.

This might work for some of you. I'm pretty sure most of these issues are caused by the type of Wireless Security and the Radio mode of the router. I had to rule out a lot of enviromental factors to get my problem fixed—type of case, the walls or how I was holding the phone.
I had 2 random problems with the WiFi of my iPhone 5 (6.1.3):
• "Unable to join network ..."
• If it did connect, it had a very poor ping+up/down speeds (lots of Speedtest.net results)
My home network setup:
• 2nd gen Airport Extreme (7.6.3)
• Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
• Network extended with an Airport Express (7.6.3)
• Radio Mode: 802.11n (802.11b/g Compatible)
• Radio Channel: Auto
• Location: AEBS is in the basement and the Express is on 2nd floor.
• Router Mode: DHCP & NAT with a 365 days for the lease on each IP
• The Airport Express is setup to "Extend a wireless network"
I have 2 other iOS 6 devices and 3 other Macs which have no problem connecting to the above setup. The iPhone 5 on the other hand either couldn't connect or when it did, it would have a very poor connection. It always forced me to switch to LTE.
After many months of putting up with this problem on my phone, I finally gave up and booked an appointment at the Apple store. They wiped the phone and did the usual test with the Apple store WiFi which is freaky fast. The phone had no problems using their open network—both before or after the wipe. I was pretty disapointed after wasting 2 hours of my day.
I came home hoping the problem had gone away. Nope. "Unable to join ..." ARGHHhh... One of the solutions that people have suggested is to switch to an unsecure WiFi. That's not heppning here. So, I decided to play around with the settings and see what works and this is what FIXED my problem:
• Radio Mode: 802.11n only (5GHz)
• Wireless Security: WPA2 Personal
That's it. After the reset of both the base station and the Express, my iPhone 5 has been connected for a few hours without any problems. I've tried disconnecting and re-connecting a few times and so far so good. I hope this works for some of you.
