Why does wifi on my iPod touch keeps disconnecting and reconnecting

I'm near a good router with three bars of wifi, yet it keeps disconnecting then reconnecting. This may be an iOS 5.1 issue.

Try:
- A reset. Nothing is 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 your router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
- You could also have an interference problem from another device like micrwave or other device.

  • Why does my iPod Touch 4G disconnect and reconnect continuously?

    Hey guys. Basically, I use a PC with Windows 7 and have done for a good couple of years now. However, until a couple of weeks ago, whenever I connect my iPod Touch 4G to my computer via USB cable, it connects for a split-second and then disconnects for another split-second, then reconnects and keeps recurring and wont stop until I unplug the iPod.
    I have had a look at the possible causes and here are my attempts to troubleshoot the problem:
    - I tried different cables (to no avail)
    - I tried other iPods (to no avail)
    - I tried another computer (worked on that one instantly)
    - Re-installed USB drivers (to no avail)
    - Re-installed iTunes (to no avail)
    The only thing I haven't tried is restoring, but my internet connection is terrible and updating the IOS would take AGES!
    It seems that this is a computer related issue specific to my PC but I cannot, for the life of me, think of a solution.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
    Carl

    I've tried plugging it in to every USB port thats available (the ones in the back too). I'm pretty sure I've done everything but it still doesn't work
    Anyone got any more input??

  • Keeps disconnect and reconnect

    I have a retina Macbook Pro 13"(latest), iPad(3rd genernation), iPhone 5 and iPod shuffle(latest) and I am sure all their systems as well as iTunes on my Macbook Pro are latest version. The thing is that whenever I connect my iPad and iPod shuffle and try to sync using iTunes it just keeps disconnect and reconnect. At frist I thought there might be some problem with my USB port, so I tried both of my USB ports and it keeps behave like that. And the wired thing is, it did not happend to my iPhone 5 so far. So it is most likely that there are problems with the iTunes.
    So I just want to ask is there anyone encounter the same problem and if you know how to fix this problem plsssssss tell me. Thx.

    I think these problems were hopefully solved by recent update of Itunes.

  • Controller keeps disconnecting and reconnecting

    Hi thereI have recently had a problem with my Dualshock 4 controller connecting to my PS4. I took ps4 to my dads while i was staying there and everything was fine. Since i returned home i set up ps4 as normal but my controller keeps disconnecting and reconnecting itself. It is not a charge issue as it has been charging for 2 hours now. I am just sitting on the home screen now and controller is plugged in by usb cable and just keeps connecting and reconnecting but remains on charge when it disconnects. Any help would be much appreciated

    Turn off the PlayStation 4 by pressing the power button on the front panel. The power indicator will blink for a few moments before turning off.Once the PlayStation 4 is off, press and hold the power button. Release it after you've heard two beeps: one when you initially press, and another 7 seconds later.Connect the DualShock 4 controller with the provided USB cable and press the PS button on the controller.Choose option 5 rebuild database.For home hub. Open the web browser on a computer or device connected to your Hub and go to http://bthomehub.home to open the Hub ManagerClick on SettingsEnter the admin password. Unless you've previously changed it, you'll find the default password on your Hub settings card on the back of your Hub. If you have changed it and now forgotten it, you can use the password override feature to set up a new passwordClick on the "Advanced Settings" tab, then click Continue to Advanced SettingsClick on the "Wireless" tabTo manually select the wireless channel for the "2.4 GHz" band:Go to the 2.4GHz page and select a channel from the drop down menu next to "Wireless Channel". First try channels 1, 6 or 11Click Apply to confirm the change. Then wait 60 seconds for your computer to automatically discover the new settings. There's no need to change any settings on your computer 

  • Wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting and reconnecting

    My Wireless Keyboard keeps disconnecting and reconnecting and typing by it self!! any ideas?

    Hi,
    Yes believe it or not my problem was caused by the keyboard being too close to the iMac display, the bluetooth was infering with the other radio signals coming from the antenna, it needs to be at least 1ft away from the display (30cm) to prevent this (this won't help those of you with small computer tables/desks)
    Hope this works for you....

  • Internet keeps disconnecting and reconnecting.

    Hello
    I have Verizon fios, and my internet keeps disconnecting and reconnecting immediately, over a 10 minute period, many times a day.
     I am not wireless. Im directly connected to my router.  It seems to happen at the same time each day, lately its been getting worse, it will happen about 3-4 times a day .  It will start disconnecting, then reconnect, every minute or so, for about 10 minutes.
    Ive contacted verizon over the phone, they kept saying to check my router and wire (which I did, and everything seems to fine), after a while on the phone with them, they just hung up on me.  I checked my router,wire,computer, and everything is fine there.
    Can anyone help me? This is beginning to be a major issue.
    Please help
    A.W.

    I was having this exact symptom for weeks and it was driving me crazy! However, I did find the problem and a solution and maybe it will benefit others as well.
    Problem: I had added another device that had a static IP that conflicted with my router's IP.
    Solution: In my case, I changed the other devices static IP, but you could also set the other device to use DHCP (best) or change the Verizon device IP.
    This can occur for a variety of reasons, but the most common is when you add another router (like a wireless router). Another common cause is that another device on your LAN is running a DHCP server, and since the Verizon router is expecting to be the sole DHCP server they can server the same IP #s out. I've had many cases where a Windows machine just magically started serving DHPC requests, and all versions of Windows I've tested for some reason have the DHCP server running by default! 
    Hope this helps!

  • Why does my 4th gen ipod touch not find the same wifi signals that my macbook does?

    My macbook connects to btfon/btopenzone everytime,  but my ipod touch can only occaisonally recieve the signal and when it does will drop connection very often.

    Also, the Mac, if relatively new, will see networks that operate on the 5 GHz N band. The iPod only sees 2.4 GHz networks..

  • Why does my 3rd Gen iPod Touch still play through the speaker when I plug my headphones in?

    When I plug my headphones into my iPod, it plays through them, but it also continues to play through the built in speaker. Does anyone know how this can be fixed? Thanks

    - First see if it woks OK with another pair of headphones.
    - next, to rule out a software probem:
    - Reset:
    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.
    - Restore the iPod from backup
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod
    If still problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.  It is liklely a problem with the headphone jack i the iPod.  There are third-party places that will replace he jack.

  • Why does my  Gen 7 ipod nano keep pausing?

    I've owned a Gen 7 iPod nano for a month now as a go-to MP3 player for work (we can't use our phones to listen to music due to cell phone abuse that's happened). Everything seemed fine until about 2-3 weeks ago I found that my music kept spontaneously pausing. Ok so I figured that maybe I hit the button on the side so I used the remote on my earbuds to continue playing. Another slight move and the thing pauses again. I quickly discovered that the slightest movement of the earbud jack triggers this thing to pause the music.
    I then thought it was the headphones and perhaps the remote causing it to glitch. So I went and bought a cheap basic pair of earbuds (Sennheisers) without the remote only to find that the pausing is still going on. I've cleaned out the jack numerous times and it is still doing it. Any idea why this is happening? Seems like this is a known issue as I've seen that others ran into this. Why would Apple continue to let faulty product to be sold? For $140, I would have expected this to last longer, now thinking I should have stuck with a cheapo MP3 player from Walmart as it would have probably lasted longer
    Are there any fixes to this or should I retire this practically new 'pod (and get my hard-earned cash back) and move onto something better? I'm now kind of weary of buying Apple devices if this is the kind of performance I'm going to get from it.

  • Why does my 3rd generation iPod touch freeze and crash randomly?

    My sister has a used 3rd Gen iPod touch. It looks fine, not much physical damage beyond normal wear. But it will continuly randomly freeze and crash. It will shut off and we have to turn it back on, only to have it crash again. The frequency of this varies and resetting it and restoring it to factory setting make no difference. Is there anything we could do to fix it?

    Try:
    - 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.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If it still occurs that indicates a hardware problem. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
