Wifi will not work on iPod 5th Generation
I have had my iPod 5th generation since early September of last year. It was been working smoothly up until today. The wifi is on and it is recognizing networks but when I attempt to join it either says 'Unable to connect to network' or I put in the password to the wifi network and it immediately asks me to re-enter the password. I have restarted my wireless router, restarted my iPod, reset my network settings on the iPod and it is still doing the same thing. I have not jail broke this iPod ever and it is up to date using iOS 8.1.3 which I installed three days ago. The wifi was working fine immediately after the update which makes me unsure if that is what caused this. Does anyone know how I might fix this.
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.

I have an ipad1 and the wifi will not work. It is a wifi only model which makes it more interesting. When I go into settings, it says "no wifi". Does anyone have a solution to my problem? It is much appreciated.
If you are positive there is a good Wi-Fi signal in the area of the iPad I would first reboot your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't work, I would turn off your iPad and then restart your Wi-Fi router. Unplug the router for 30 seconds then plug it back in. Once the router had completed its restart process and established a link to the Internet then turn your iPad on. Make sure Settings > Wi-Fi> On. -

After install of ios7 on ipad mini wifi will not work
I have installed ios7 on my mini. After doin so WiFi will not work. Button is greyed out. When I try to erase all content and go back to factory it wants my password and won't do so because it says no internet connection. Had I know this was going to happen I would have left well enough alone. I have tried hard resetting by holding home and off button simultaneously but not working. Anyone have any ideas? This mini is now basically useless to me without internet. I'm really annoyed.
Hello Andy,

My IPhone 4s is freezing up and the wifi will not work. This happened after the update. I have tried to restore it and that did not fix it. Any suggestions?
Most of your purchases content can be downloaded again via the Purchased tabs in each of the store. I realize that this will be a problem for the iTunes Store on the iPad, but that has nothing to do with apps, since apps are in the App Store.
If you backed up synced with iTunes before you restored the iPad, your content should be in iTunes on your Mac and you should be able to sync it back again. -

TS1398 ios 5.1.1 wifi will not work
My ipod touch 4th generation has always worked fine, but recently it has said it was connected to the wifi at my house that is password protected so its only used by family but would not allow any connections, no messages would get through to me and i couldnt send any without getting an error, and all of my games that require wifi would not connect. normally i would plug it into my computer and sync it and the problem was resolved, but it started doing it more often and more often. but this last time it didnt work and when i got online to check even my computer could not access the internet. im wondering if this is some issue with the ipod, the modem, or both. i have a freind who also experiances issues with her modem suddenly not working for a random period of time then working again after a bit that we could never figure out, but in this issue it says its connected but wont work.
another issue is my ipods lock button it has stuck and will not work so im unable to turn it on and off or take screen shots how can i fix that?I have no clue what you're talking about. Perhaps you can rephrase with correct spelling and real sentences that include initial caps and periods and other grammatical niceties.

Speaker doesn't work on ipod 5th generation. Why?
Just received a 5th generation ipod touch and the external speaker doesn't work. There are plenty of inaccurate answers on many sites. Am I overlooking something in the setup of the device or does this mean a trip to the Apple Store while on vacation?
There are not settings.
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. 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 iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

Purchased games will not work with iPod Classic 160GB
I purchased the original seven games (Bejeweled, Cubis 2, Mahjong, PAC-MAN, Tetris, Vortex, Zuma) offered by Apple when they were released for the 5th generation video iPod. That iPod has since died and been replaced by a iPod 160GB Classic. Like all of my purchased songs, I expected my purchased games to be compatible with my iPod. The games in iTunes are only listed as compatible with 5th generation iPod. I was happy to discover that there is a Check for Updates button at the bottom of iTunes so I assumed that all that I needed to do to be compatible with my new iPod is click on that button. Nothing seems to happen though. With the exception of Vortex which seems to no longer be available, all of the other games currently posted in the iTunes store show that they are compatible with the iPod Classic. It would seem evident that the Check for Updates button would address this issue. Why don't I see anything happening when I click on the button? I know that I must be doing something wrong since all of my purchased songs did not need to be repurchased to be compatible. I am guessing that I could repurchase all of these applications to make it work but I do not think that would be fair nor does it sound correct.
in another discussion I read that you are supposed to rebuy the games from itunes store
I am having the same problem with my new 120gig classic

I bought my Backberry Curve 8520 in July 2011 and it worked perfectly when I was living in Ireland. But, I moved to Italy in August and Vodafone unlocked my phone in September so I could support an Italian Sim.
But since then I can not connect to my home wifi and when I top up it drains all my money. I keep getting messages about support plan when I use twitter and I can no longer access my emails nor the browser. When I click on browser the Blackberry icon appears and doesn't even load. Even my BBM does not work on it!
Does anyone have any suggestions which may help me to connect to the internet?
When I click on "Manage Connections" there is the regular blue tick next to my Mobile Network and W-Fi but there is no green tick to the right of Wi-Fi!
Thanks for any suggestions in advance!
CorbmacWhen you signed up with your Italian provider, did they add a Blackberry Data Plan to your account rather than just a standard data plan?
