For some reason after owning my Ipod touch 4g for a year or more, the wifi connection suddenly stopped working. All of the other devices that use wifi at my home are still working on the wireless router, except my ipod. Does anybody have an explanation on what I should do? Please, no Apple support links, they're useless to me at this point.😠
iPod touch (4th generation)
Is this the problem
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Otherwise:
Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
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:
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
My main issue here is that when i try to connect to my wifi it says it is unable to connect. And I know it is the device because it would not connect at a local restaurant that had free wifi. Any suggestions for this??
Did you perform all the actions of my previous reply except going to the Apple store? If you have, then time for a trip to the Apple store.
Solved my problem, somehow my wifi would only not work with apple devices and once it reset, it was fixed.
Why won't my wifi work?
