Why does my ipod lose wireless connection

So I bought this iPOD touch 3g, 8GB that was recently "refreshed" from Best Buy (i bought it from a private party after he received it  back). After charging it up I downloaded an app that I use to control a sonos music player. Problem is that the iPOD will not stay connected to my network. My wireless is a month old Netgear 802.11a/b/g/n router and all of the laptops in the house connect perfectly. the iPOD touch cuts in and out every minute or two.I went into the settings/general folder and did a network settings reset, but that did not cure the problem.Any suggestions?

this could have countless reasons but it might be your to far from router your router might be haveing electrical problems or your ipod is trying to join to many networks

    Hey barbaraeberle,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that your AirPort seems to have lost its connection to the internet. To troubleshoot this issues, let’s try the following:
    See if you can isolate the issue first by using Wireless Diagnostics:

  • Why does my iMac lose internet connection when importing music via iTunes Home sharing?

    Hi, I tried searching for a solution but could not find anything to solve my problem.
    I recently purchased an iMac and am attempting to import my iTunes library from my old Windows 7 laptop using the Home sharing function. As far as I can tell, everything works fine - both computers are connected to my wireless network, I can see and connect to the library, I can begin importing my music but after 5 or so minutes my iMac will stop transferring music and I can no longer access any internet sites, even though i seem to be connected to the internet. Turning wifi on and off allows me to access the internet again. I have tried many solutions, but nope seem to have helped. Both computers have the latest version of iTunes. I have tried disabling the firewall on my router, resetting the router, resetting both computers, reopening iTunes.
    Does anybody have any ideas as to what could solve the problem? Thank you

    I've noticed that Lion automatically reconnects in about 5-10 seconds after being waken from sleep mode.
    Make sure that you've set you Network connections up properly in System Preferences and then, after waking from sleep mode, wait to see if it automatically reconnects.
    In System Preferences:
    Network / Wi-Fi:
    Make sure "Network Name" is specified.
    Advanced:
    Make sure your "Preferred Networks" are specified. (The order is significant).
    Also make sure that the "Remember networks this computer has joined" is checked.
    Also, you may want to try playing with the "Energy Saver" Settings in System Preferences, perhaps disabling sleep mode but turning off the screen (although I don't prefer this method since it kind of defeats the whole purpose of having a sleep mode IMHO).

  • Why does the 3GS lose 3G connection all the time?

    My 3GS drives me insane and I'm strongly considering going back to BlackBerry when my upgrade is due in November because I NEVER had this issue with those phones but the issue occurs on my 3GS, it happens with my friend's iPhone 4 and I therefore doubt the issue will be resolved in the next iPhone.
    Whenever I lose mysignal, ie. going into a lift, the signal returns afterwards but the 3G connection NEVER returns automatically unless I turn on Airplane mode and then turn it back off again. When I do this, 3G returns on an almost full signal so I know that the area I'm in has a strong enough signal.
    This is unacceptable for a phone that is supposed to do pretty much everything! And getting a 3G signal back after a drop in signal really doesn't seem too much to ask since all other phones seem to handle it perfectly well. I've also noticed that iPhones tend to display 'searching' for absolutely ages after coming out of an area with no signal, whereas everyone else regains their signal long before I do!
    This is very frustrating, I feel like I am babysitting this hunk of junk and I've reached the end of my tether. Do iPhones have an issue in general with signal and maintaining a decent signal? If so, I'm getting shot of this thing and getting a phone that actually functions how it should.
    And yes I've switched on and off, yes my phone regularly runs completely flat, yes I've taken the SIM out and put back in and yes I've even tried a completely brand new SIM.

    Hi
    Are you in the UK ?
    I have the exact same problem on O2 - using an iphone 3gs 4.3.5
    Now, I think it is to do with a software update... My cousin has a 4 on 4.3.1 or .2 and hers doesn't do it but another friend has a 4 on 4.3.5 and hers does the same as mine.
    It drives me mad. I come home and have good 3g but then it goes and I have to go into airplane mode and back to re-connect to 3g and then when I do there is like 3 - 4 bars of 3g there,
    I wish Apple would sort it out!!!

  • Why does my iPod Classic keep connecting THEN disconnecting immediately?

    Here's the deal, I bought my iPod Classic used, and is the 160GB version in "space gray".
    I connect my iPod Classic, and immediately it disconnects itself right away(!!). I would have searched a question, but let's face it, all the other info is now out-dated. So please, help!

  • Why does my iPad lose wireless printer options when my Mac shuts down or sleeps?

    If my Mac sleeps or is shut down, my iPad doesnt' show any ptinter options. Neigher does my wife's iPad. What do we do to enable both iPads to show our wireless printers regardless of our Macs being powered down?

    A shutdown can happen for lots of reasons, but given the history of your device, it's wise to visit your Apple Store. The issue may lie with an improper repair, but it may also be that there's other damage that happened as result of the shattered screen. The RAM may be damaged, as well.
    Back up your data. Perform a soft reset, just in case that works. If not, visit your friendly Apple Store/Genius Bar. And please post with the results.

  • Why does my ipod classic (80gb) connect for a few seconds then disconnect?

    I have a ipod classic 80gb, granted its old, but it has a big memory so I can store my whole collection. Anyway, when I connect it to my PC (with windows 8.1) it will connect for a few seconds then disconnect. It will sometimes start to sync, but then disconnect after a few seconds. My computer is pretty new, Acer Aspire V5. I have tried reinstalling itunes, a new cable to connect it, different usb ports(2) and with and without the pc plugged into the mains, which is when it starts to sync for a brief second. Has anyone else had the same problem??

    The S.I. prefix Giga is used to mean both 1000x1000x1000 and 1024x1024x1024. Computer software typically uses the second version, but using the first number makes the same number of bytes appear bigger when expressed as Gb, so is favoured by hard drive manufactures.
    80Gb10 = 74.3Gb2
    It's a bit like specifying a quantity in gallons without saying whether they are US or Imperial gallons - everybody gets the same volume but one number will be bigger than the other. I could offer you a tank with 10 Imperial gallons of fuel in it - but if I tell you it's 12 US gallons it sounds like you're getting more for your money.
    Once the total size of your library exceeds the capacity of your device all you need to do is create some size limited playlists to determine what goes on the device. Don't sync all movies, sync one or two that you plan to watch soon. Likewise with TV Shows. Limit podcasts to unplayed episodes and finally create a music subset. What worked for me for some time was a smart playlist called Steve's Tunes defined as Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Exclude where Exclude was regular playlist that I would manually add to until Steve's Tunes was small enough to fit. These days I run an iPhone and have a number of smart playlists with ? Gb of most played, ? Gb of highly rated, ? Gb of recently added, ? Gb of essentials, ? Gb of unplayed etc. Each time I sync I get slightly updated selection without having to put any extra effort in.

    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .

  • Why does my Ipod Nano  sometimes lose volumn

    Why does my Ipod Nano sometimes lose volumn?

    If the Nano is not in a protective case while you are working out, there may be a good chance that sweat/moisture has found its way into the inside of the iPod causing its buttons and functions to short circuit.  Several users who used their Nano for workouts have run into the same exact issue.
    Some have been able to correct it by giving the iPod a few days to dry out and then clipping the Nano to another location on their body and/or using a protective case with the Nano.

  • Why does my ipod nano turn off and on?

    why does my ipod nano turn on and off?

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
    Did you try everything above, including trying on another computer? If so then

  • New 6500 E709n loses wireless connection when it or laptop sleeps... & other problems!

    Just got this printer and am hoping we can get it to work because we really like it.  I believe we've done everything right - it is connected to PC via USB, and to laptop via wireless network.  Both computers are Dells running XP.  Our wireless router is a Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G.  We installed the disk on both.  Immediately after installing on the laptop by plugging in USB and then unplugging, we were able to get it to work.  We printed and scanned from both . . . UNTIL the printer went into power save mode.
    When it sleeps it loses all the network connections (but will still print from PC).  Even the icons disappear from the laptop after it sleeps.  The only way to get it to work with the laptop again is to start all over, plug in the laptop, enter the WPA key again, and so on.  Then it's finebut for just a short while.  Now, when I registered my protection plan, I was on the phone with a techie guy and asked him if it's normal to have to keep entering the key every time you want to print, and he actually said that maybe I shouldn't let the printer sleep - wow! I want to conserve energy, so I may even want to shut it off, okay, and I don't feel I should have to go through this rigamarole every time I want the darn thing to just be available to the network.  Furthermore, what's the sense of having to turn "Wireless Radio" on and off all the time???
    Anyway, there are other problems and the menus in the internal web browser is about as confusing as it can be.  Is the passphrase the same as a WPA key?  There's a passphrase in there which I did not enter, and I don't know what it is because it's been disguised with dots.  When I enter the WPA key on the front panel of the printer, it doesn't stick.  One thing I noticed in the instructions is to keep telephones away from it, so I moved ours (was right next to it) but it's still being ornery.
    In addition, the scan function only works from the software, not as a standalone if I use the front panel.  When using the button on the front panel, sometimes it sees the laptop, sometimes it doesn't, and then it starts to scan, but a menu pops up on the computer asking to update the buttons, and then nothing happens.
    Have we a clunker on our hands that should be returned, or is there a remedy?  All suggestions welcome!

    Let me answer the easy stuff first:
    Yes, the passphrase is the same as the WPA-PSK key.
    No, it's not normal to have to re-enter the wireless security key over and over again.  Politely tell our service agent that he is mistaken on this point.
    There's no sense in having to turn the radio on and off all the time to get the printer to remain on the network.
    When the printer goes into power-save mode, can you still access the printer's internal web page by browsing to it's IP address?  When the printer loses wireless connectivity, can you wake the printer by pressing any of the buttons on the front panel?
    I have a couple more questions:
    What WRT54G HW version do you have (it'll be on the bottom label of the router)?
    What version of FW does your router have?  You'll have to browse to the router's internal web page to find out.
    Finally, change the WPA-PSK group key renewal period to the largest value possible.  Tell if this affects the frequency of printer losing Wi-Fi connectivity?
    One more question.  After you have the printer connected to your wireless network and it's working, if you turn the printer off (via the power button), wait five seconds then unplug it then plug it back in and turn it on, does it connect to your network?

  • Why does my ipod no longer play all the items in a playlist?

    Why does my ipod no longer play all the items in a playlist?  I have to go to each item individually to select it as it no longer goes from one item to the next.

    what kind of connection do you have? do you use the ipod 30 pin cable that connects directly to the head unit? it so, maybe you could get help on the alpine site, or a similar site?it could just be a bad connection. you may just have to go oldschool and use rca cables and plug those in...
