Why my ipod 5g has bad wi-fi reception, and slow internet?

I have a problem with my ipod touch 5g, everytime I want to connect to wifi, it is VERY slow, or it says it can't connect to that wifi... if it does, I have to be very near the router.
Why does this happen? How can I fix it?

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect OK before?
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.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- 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.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Why do videos look so bad in QuickTime X and look good in everything else?

    Why do videos look so bad in QuickTime X and look good in everything else?
    Any way around this or is this something apple needs to fix?

    OK, videos!
    What kind of videos?
    Have you tried using Quicktime Player 7?
    Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
    Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
    Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".

  • IPod Shuffle has started playing audio books and podcasts too fast.

    iPod Shuffle has started playing audio books and podcasts too fast.  What can be done?

    Some other iPods (that are not shuffles) have an onboard setting to change the playback speed for some types of iTunes media, such as audiobooks.  But a shuffle has no screen, to change such settings.
    First, do this to reset the shuffle, if you have not already
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    If that does not help, you may want to do a Restore on the shuffle.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.  The shuffle will be like it was when new, so this problem should be fixed.

  • My ipod 4g has a frozen white screen and will not turn off, any advice?

    My daughter's ipod 4th gen (only 4 months old, bought direct from Apple) suddenly has a frozen white screen and will not turn off. We cannot reboot it by pushing and holding the two buttons, even when held up to one full minute. When we plug it into the computer, the computer does not recognise it nor does iTunes, so we can't even do a full system restore. Help! Any suggestions of how we can reset to factory settings without using iTunes please?

    - Let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try :
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

  • IPod touch has speaker symbol permanently showing and volume will not turn up

    After having earphones in the iPod following a workout, the speaker symbol is permanently showing and the volume slide bar keeps sliding down to silent, I have tried a total dis-charge of the battery and also a restore to original settings but these have not worked. Please help

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. 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.
    - 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
