Wi-Fi issues on IOS7

I recently upgraded my iPod Touch to IOS7. I am having problems where some apps complain that I am not connected to wi-fi when indeed I can browse various web sites in Safari. I can purchase media via iTunes store. My stock symbols update just fine. The problem symptoms: The Music /Radio app tells me I am not connected to wi-fi. And a bigger issue for me is that I can no longer wi-fi connect music to play on my Bose Soundlink Air!. The control widget doesn't show up. Before the "upgrade" there would be a small arrow in Music to select what to use for output - iPod or Bose. If I power up my MacBook Pro and launch iTunes - it sees my Bose.

Help please!

iPod touch, iOS 7

I had the same problem. The icon is now in the control panel. Swipe up from the bottom center of the screen and it will reveal the control panel. The icon should be there.

Shaeburks - thank you SO SO SO much for your answer. I can't tell you how much swearing I did when I couldn't get my iPhone to work the Bose.... and my wife nearly trashed her iPad mini!! We are happy again!

Sweet, My IPhone & IPad work again. I was ready to throw both in the river!!! Called Apple and no help, told me to buy different speaker system or contact Bose. I can't believe "tech support" at Apple didn't know the "fix". I love my Bose and would have replaced my Apple products before replacing my Soundlink Air!!!! Big thank you to Shaeburks. I never knew that control panel was there.

Seems bizarre to me that on IOS5 & 6 the "Air Play" icon activates automatically, yet in IOS7 you have to scroll down and activate it yourself..... I guess that's what Apple calls progress!

Woman, actually. As I've mentioned before, I was having the same problem, and discovered the solution almost accidentally. Thrilled that I have been able to help so many other music lovers. Happy new year!
