Why isnt my ipod connecting to wifi?

It says its connect and it has full bars but nothing connecting on it? i dont know what it is becasue my internets working fine its just on my ipod and it worked ealier but it wont now. usually this doesnt last for more than 5 minutes its been an hour.. help!!

Okay, go to your wifi settings on the ipod, then where it says "choose network" go to "other" (forget the fact that your network name may already be listed) and type the name of your network in there. Then, go to "security" and choose the type of security you have setup for your wifi.  For instance, mine is WPA2 Personal so I chose "WPA2" from the list.  Then click back one screen where you entered your network name. You will now see it prompting you for a password.  This is NOT your wifi password but rather the long key generated when you setup your router. I have a Linksys router and my password is 10 characters long.  After you've entered this, your device should connect to your wifi.

  • Why isnt my ipod remembering my home router password, but all others it remembers?

    why isnt my ipod remembering my home router password, but all others it remembers?

    Certain routers have setting where un-recognized devices automatically get kicked off.  Or else you are connected to someone elses router and they don't like that!  Just ask the service provider.

  • Why can't I connect to WiFi?

    Why can't I connect to WiFi when asked for a password, but I can connect to the same WiFi if no password is required?  When I type in the password, I get the following message, "There was an error joining the AirPort network "Verizon SCH-LC11 d8dd Secure".
    When using my PowerBook G3 Pismo, running 10.4.11, I have no problem connecting to any WiFi that does not require a password.
    But I get the same error message when a password is requested.  I have removed the password requirement from some of my WiFi options, and make the connections and internet functions correctly.

    Judging from what you wrote, because there is something wrong with the settings or the password or passphrase. Make sure all devices use the same type of encryption, and make sure you enter the correct password. WRT to this, read

  • Why wont my ipad connect to wifi ???

    why wont my ipad connect to wifi ???

    You just aren't suppling us with enough information.  Are you trying to connect to the WiFi at home or at work?  Will other WiFi devices connect successfully with that WiFi access-point?  Is your WiFi access point showing up on the list of available access points when you're trying to connect to it from the iPad, or are you being forced to manually enter it in?  We really need more info about your specific situation before we can help.
    Thanks,

    how to I get my ipod connected to wifi for the first time..it's an ipod tougch 2010 version, refurbished

    Hi,
    To connect your iPod to wifi just:
         1. Open settings,
         2. Tap Wi-Fi,
         3. Make sure the Wi-Fi switch is on,
         4. Tap the network you would like to connect to,
         5. If  the network has a password then type it in and press join.
    For hidden networks(networks that don't broadcast their SSID(name))
         1. Follow 1-3 above,
         2. Tap other,
         3. Type in SSID(name) of the network,
         4. Select the security of the network,
         5. If there is a password type it in,
         6. Press Join.
    Some public networks may now show a login screen where you  may have to agree to terms and conditions, enter your email etc...

  • Why does my iBook connect to WiFi better than my much faster Macbook?

    Why does my iBook connect to WiFi better than my much faster Macbook?

    Because it has a RISC processor. Just brag about all the MHz or even GHz while you are waiting like other Intel users. Using my trusty G4 rather than MBP becase its simply faster.
