Why won't the internet work on my iPod?
On my iPod touch 4G, the internet has stopped working. Not just safari, but everything that requires an internet connection. I get the standard little message 'Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet.' Sure, I can open them but they won't work without the internet. It happened a few days ago and I'm completely stumped. I've rebooted, updated, rejoined my internet, reset my internet, reset my network settings, everything I can think of and whatever someone has told me. I've deleted recent apps, just in case they were intefering with the connection, but that doesn't do anything. This has happened once before, where a simple rooter reboot solved it and there was no more of it. However, nothing seems to be working this time. Any advice? My operating system is actually 4. 3. 5, but there's no option for this. I don't have a router or DNS code, but then again I'm not sure I ever did. There's also no URL in the HTTP proxy box. Is this a problem?
Is it this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
Also heating sometimes works. See:
Why can't I select my wifi settings?
A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

If you place the iPod next to the router does it see the network? If so that indicated a loose internal antenna

Last try:
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.

Why isn't the internet working on my ipod?
I've had my ipod touch 2nd gen 8 gb for quite a while now. The internet on the ipod has been working fine until right now. It was also working this morning. I am connected to my home wifi connection and it shows the wifi signal on the top left hand corner too. When I open up safari, it says "Safari could not open the pade because the server stopped responding." To attempt to solve the problem, I restarted my ipod, powered it off and back on, connecting to a different wifi provider but still nothing... Any solutions? :/
- Try powering off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Do other devices successfull connect to the internet? -
Why won't the music work on my ipod?? please help me!!!!!!!!
okay, i plugged my ipod video into my friends computer, and since then over half of the songs on my ipod won't work! in itunes, they have a little exclamation point next to them, and on my ipod, when i try to listen to most of the songs it just skips through the songs until it finds one that works. what can i do to make them work again?? i would prefer not to have to start all over and take all the music off my ipod, because most of the songs in my library has a little exclamation point next to them also. please please help me!! i'm going crazy!
Unfortunately, I think that is probably your only option. the "!" is stating that the link between the music and the visual title on your iPod is broken and the iPod doesn't know where it is. Did you have auto-updating on for your music when you plugged it into your friends computer? And how did you remove it from the computer? If the iPod was still updating when you removed it, that could have caused it.

Why won't the crop work when setting a wallpaper
The new iOS is fine once you get used to it, but I'm rather annoyed with how I can't customize my wallpapers anymore. I like to customize everything on my phone, especially the pictures that I see everytime I get on my phone, so when it automatically zooms in on the picture I chose, then doesn't accept the edits I try to set to make it work, I get aggrivated. I don't want to have to choose which ever picture won't look bad zoomed in or not centered correctly; I want to pick whatever picture I want at the time and make it fit.
Is there a temporary work around for this problem or is it something I'm stuck with until they do another update to the new iOS?Let's get your message notifications sounding right again, Coffeebean21. Are you using the original message application that came with the phone or one from Google's Play Store? Are you hearing sound for incoming calls or emails?

I have tried several times to get this flash player to play
sound but I still can't get any sound at all. The video is there, i
have the new version installed but when I go to YOU TUBE or a flash
player required web site I can't get any sound from the videos. How
can I get some sound from Adobe Flash Player
9!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?I'm just a novice myself, but am having the same problem.
Strangely enough I have come across a page here on the site that supposedly explains how some "partner" sites will no longer be useable now that some changes have been made.
Maybe I am confusing the 2, but it sure looks like you now have to pay for it. (You can installer it, but have to subscribe to use the Macromedia Player to use those formerly partnered sites for the old experimental days.)
Am I way off? Somebody say so! -
Why won't the Mac Mini connect to the internet but won't browse
Here's an odd one...I hook up the mini with an ethernet cable to the cable modem - it finds the settings on it's own - IP address, subnet - the whole thing. That's just great - go to the activity monitor - and look at the network - packets going and coming - but when I go to Safari...it tells me that I'm not connected to the internet...that's funny - according to the activity monitor and the network settings - I am.
What am I missing here? I've tried the network assistant - and even my laptop can't connect to the cable modem automatically from that either and it is a never fail - plug and play.
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.6)Try checking the settings in Safari. I'm not sure how safari work,(Don't have my mini yet) but if it's anything like firefox or IE 6, you should have a setting that says "Connection Setting" or something similar. Make sure it's set to auto detect or broadband or w/e your options may be. (Not sure exactly how safari works so i'm not sure what options you may have there)
If those settings are correct and nothing changes, another thing you can try is opening quicktime or visiting the itunes music store. If the internet works for these programs then you are defenately connected and it's a based safari problem. In fact, sometimes simply accessing the net through quicktime, itunes or windows media player (For windows) have re established my connection when it randomly stopped working with firefox. (I have no idea why) Browsers are weird sometimes so try opening quicktime and see how that works out. If quicktime or itunes connects, reopen safari and check to see if it made any change. If quicktime and itunes can't connect to the internet, then it might be a more complex issue regarding your network settings. (can't help at all there until I learn the mac ways of interneting)
Sorry I can't be a bigger help, like i said i don't have my mini yet (Or any other mac since my old g3 non tower :P). Hopefully just opening itunes or quicktime will be able to help you (not sure what it does but it works for me sometimes). Or maybe the settings on safari need to be reconfigured, and that could be ur fix.
Anyways Good luck,

Why won't the Avatar Interactive Desktop work on Windows xp SP3
As said in the title Why won't the Avatar Interactive Desktop work on Windows xp SP3. I have tried everything (uninstalling AIR, reinsalling it etc) I can think of but nothing makes it work. This image shows what I get in return every time I try to install the app. My PC meets all requirements to run Adobe AIR. Why is this occuring? I have the current version of AIR.
Hi oxide9999999999,
For the moment, you have to install the version of AIR linked from their site: http://www.avatarmovie.com/desktop/index.html
Hope this helps,

Why won't quicktime player work? I own Mac Book Pro with Retina Display and connote get the quicktime player to open or play quicktime movies?
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update. -
I am trying to use Find My Friends and I have been through troubleshooting 3 times. Why won't my location work? Everything is on but the 2nd screen in Find My Friends is grayed out, whereas my other family members 2nd screens are active? I have an iPhone 6 Plus, latest ios8, and yes my location says it is being shared, but it is not.

I decided to try and boot from the Tiger discs, but when I did, all I got was a screen that looked like a blizzard of pixels.
The firmware was likely changed and it's not compatible anymore or the disk is bad.
I was able to boot using the Snow Leopard disc from both my new MBP and my girlfriends MB, but both said that OS X could not be installed on this computer, and I couldn't even use the disc utility to wipe the drive.
Those disks don't have the hardware drivers your machine needs.
Your going to need to get a Snow Leopard retail install disk from Amazon/elsewhere.
Do I need to have a serial number to reinstall OS X?
Thankfully No. -

Why won't my pandora work when I'm not on wifi? I have the cellular data on for it but I never works. Also pandora isn't the only app of mine that does that.. What's wrong with it??
You're welcome.
Voicemail is left at your carrier's server. That will continue to work unless you report your iPhone as lost or stolen with your carrier.
You may never find it again and you can't if the iPhone remains offline or out of service which means the iPhone is powered off or doesn't have cellular reception.
