WiFi randomly stopped working and won't connect, PLEASE HELP

Okay, so, I have had my 32G, 3rd generation i-pod touch since Christmas and the WiFi has worked since day 1. Today, my WiFi worked all day until about 6 o'clock. I went to google something and it said that my WiFi wasn't connected. So, I went to settings and WiFi and clicked on my router. I entered in the password and it said it was "unable to connect". I have tried this multiple times, reset network settings, turned it off and back on, and tries some more and it still won't work. Then, I went to call Apple Support, but it was too late and the stupid 90 day thing where you can only get support for 90 days after purchase wouldn't have let me ask for help anyways! So, basically, what I am asking is: does anyone have a clue how I can fix my WiFi?
Help is greatly appreciated!

You can start with this support article about troubleshooting WiFi on an iOS device.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
Normally I would also suggest that you update your iOS to version 5 which is out now, but you may want to hold off on that and see if you can resolve the WiFi issue with the troubleshootings steps in the article first.

My IPad original's wifi stopped working and won't connect to any hotspot. What should I do?

I have been using my IPad regularly and it would connect wifi at any hotspot including my home. Now over the last couple weeks, it will not connect to any hotspot and says it cannot find an internet connection. I have reset my wifi in the settings and updated the operating system to 4.3.5; and it still will not connect. Before I take it in to be fixed, any other suggestions?

HP C4280 Printer Just Stopped Working and Won't connect to Mac

One day it just stopped letting me connect to it. Snow Leopard sees the printer in the list. I click the + button and it sees the printer. I click Add and it acts like it will add it. Then it goes back to the original screen and no printer.
I downloaded HP software for it since I never did that originally. SL just used the builtin drivers. So I installed the HP driver and still nothing. I did open the HP Scan software, funny thing it actually let me scan something through that software but it won't let me print.
What is up? It's way too hard to find any help on the HP Support site. It stinks.
Please Help.
Jim

I found this post in Apple Support About the Reset Printing System feature.
This fixed my problem and now I am back to printer. Very nice!! Thank You Apple!

My iphone stopped working and won't connect to iTunes

My phone was working fine and suddenly it didn't want to switch on. I tried holding down the home/lock button but nothing worked. It didn't want to connect to iTunes either. What seems to be the problem?

Make sure it is charged, then try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts. If this does not work, see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281. If that does not help visit an Apple store genius bar and have the techs test it.

I will start uploading some podcasts and then I will get 'itunes has stopped working' and it closes. Please help!

I am using Window 7 and I have the most up-to-date version of itunes!

Thank you for your response! I actually just uninstalled itunes and anything Apple related in my computer and just reinstalled it. I have the most up-to-date version since I just reinstalled it. It actually isn't even letting me do anything in the program it is crashing the second I open it.
When I said in my previous post that I was uploading podcasts, I was just attempting to upload the new ones onto my computer. I hadn't even gotten to the point where I could sync it.
Thank you for any help you can offer!

MacBook 2008 wifi suddenly stopped working and says no wifi hardware. Took it to an apple shop, they said it could be the airport card but wouldn't do anymore then that. Any help on how to fix this? How do I know if it is the airport card or not?

is there anything else I can try first?
thanks

If the technician at the shop is competent, he has given you a diagnosis that should have identified the problem. You could run the Apple Hardware Test to verify the findings:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201257
Note the Apple Hardware Test is not definitive.
Go to the iFixit.com and Powerbookmedic.com web sites. They have parts and installation instructions. To install an Airport card is fairly easy.

Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes

Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes to do a restore. I have tried to do a reset using the sleep button and home key and all I get is a white band across the screen and then it boots into the main system but it is just a series of white lines going across the screen, how can I do a restore on this?

Hey dbwithers,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPad after attempting to update to iOS 8. To isolate these issues, let’s try placing your iPad in recovery mode and attempting a restore with iTunes:

My wifi has an x and won't connect

my wifi has an x and won't connect

If it don't take your password, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

When syncing iPhone with iTunes I get an iTunes stopped working and the network connection timed out message. I reinstalled iTunes and checked settings still no go.

Disable or turn off your firewall, anti-virus, and all security software and try the download again.

Wifi randomly stops working?

Beginning today my 2011 iMac would randomly stops connecting to the internet. I troubleshooted this a little bit myself and found that the connection to the router is dead too, not just the internet. I couldn't ping the router. But when you click the wifi icon at the top right, it still shows the wifi network as connected. It fixes itself if you turn wifi off and back on. But this is very annoying it happens randomly every 10-15 minutes. Any ideas? Everything worked fine for a year with no problems.

Touchpad randomly stops working and I need to disable/enable it in driver settings

My mouse touchpad sometimes (very often, actually) just stops working completely (no mouse movements, no clicks etc.), it's just completely dead, even both click buttons. What I then need to do in order to temporarily fix it is to go Synaptics Pointing Device (this window) and click "disable" and then "enable". This appearently re-enables my touchpad and everything works again for a while. This is becoming a big issue for me. If I don't have a external mouse present, the only way to fix the problem is to restart my laptop. I do have the right drivers installed. Latest version and windows 8.1 drivers. I even updated them with HP Support Assistant to make sure. And I also tried downloading them from here (Synaptics Mouse Driver version 18.1.24.4). Also, this happens completely randomly. Sometimes after 10min of usage, sometimes after a few hours. Also, I am not the one accidentaly disabling it (there is no orange light). Sometimes it even happens that the drivers aren't loaded when laptop turns on, so touchpad isn't working from the start and there's no way to enable it. So I need to restart laptop. How can I fix this?

I have. Multiple times. I even tried installing some older version drivers to see if it works. Currently, I can't get my touchpad to work at all. I'm using my external mouse. I restarted the laptop multiple times and there is no Synaptics icon in the taskbar and touchpad + both buttons are completely unresponsive.

My Wi-Fi randomly stopped working and will not turn on.

So one night, I closed all my applications and did the regular routine, "procedures" if you will. The next morning, I turned on my MacBook and the Wi-Fi said it was off, and so I turned it on, but it wouldn't turn on. The little icon would stay at the off position while the menu is stating it is on and it isn't! It also doesn't search or join other networks. I decided to take matters into my own hands and rebooted into Recovery mode, I disconnected the Ethernet (Which works perfectly fine EVEN THOUGH the Wi-Fi doesn't work) and turned my Wi-Fi on, and I was blown-away. The Wi-Fi was full strength and was working fine. I checked my Facebook and Twitter without a beep. What is the problem here? I have installed the 10.8.5 Supplemental Update and it still doesn't work.
Please help!
Computer description: MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum)
500GB HD
OS X Mountain Lion (I think? LOL)

Result. My wifi is back working again.
After a number of evenings trawling through the support pages, I found a youtube clip from a chap taking his macbook apart and locating the airport adaptor and connecting cables.
The cable in question is located in the black plastic bar below the display and is a pain to get to. Apprently the most common cause of this issue is the cable becoming dislodged through an impromptu knock. I can see how this happened to me by travelling on the London Underground everyday with my mac in my shoulder bag.
Anyway, having seen the video, I bottled it and went to the genius bar obviously having seen the clip. I had a worst case scenario quote of £95.00, but a quote for a replacement cable and reseal being much less. I'm quite savvy but my mac is sacred and i'd rather the pros did it. Turned out to be £37.00 and my mac came back fixed and clean.... £37.00 for piece of mind is well worth it.
Here's the youtube clip but please don't take unnecessary risks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsSIUs7jzQc
Best of luck all.

5th gen nano stopped working and won't charge

My 5th gen nano stopped working all of a sudden, and also won't charge. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Hi, I also have a 5th generation iPod nano. It is very old (or at least for technology), so the issue is most likely the battery. My advise would be to buy a newer generation iPod because it would most likely take more time/money to fix the problem than the iPod is worth. Check out the refurbished section of the Apple website, the prices are typically sufficiently lower than the price of a brand new iPod, but just as good. Thats how I get all my Apple products.
