I'm trying to get the Raspberry Pi 0 W on my wifi network and failing. This is what I've done:

1.  Insert 64GB SD Card into USB holder.
2.  Insert USB holder into USB port and launch Raspberry Pi Imager v1.8.5 on my iMAC.
3.  Using the Pi Imager application:
    Choose Device:  Raspberry Pi Zero (Models Zero, Zero W, Zero WH)
    Choose OS:      Raspberry Pi OS (Legacy, 32-bit) A port of Debian Bullseye with security updates and desktop environment (Recommended)
    Choose Storage: Mass Storage Device Media - 63.8 GB
4.  Click NEXT
5.  Edit Settings, assigning hostname RPi0W, setting username and password, SSID and Password, Wireless LAN country to GB, Time zone to  Europe/London, Keyboard layout to gb, Services enable SSH, Save and click YES. 
6.  All existing data on 'Mass Storage Device Media' will be erased.  Are you sure you want to continue?  Click YES button.
7.  Wait for progress Writing and Verifying to reach 100%.

SD card is auto-ejected, I close Raspberry Pi Imager.




    

  1. Insert SD card into Raspberry Pi 0W.
    

    2. 

  2. Connect Raspberry Pi keyboard which has USB mouse connected to keyboard USB hub.
    

    3. 

  3. Connect HDMI cable using adapter.
    

    4. 

  4. Connect power to Raspberry Pi 0W.
    

    5. 

  5. Power up Raspberry Pi 0W.
    

    6. 

  6. Wait for power up process to complete and desktop to be ready for use, takes a while (5-10) minutes.
    

    7. 

  7. From the Raspberry menu, open the Preferences submenu and select Raspberry Pi Configuration.
    

    Network at Boot, check that it is on, slider needs to be on the right.
    

    8. 

  8. Click the Interfaces tab.
    

    SSH on
    

    9. 

  9. Click on OK button.
    

    10.

I have a wpa_supplicant.conf file which exists in /etc/wpa_supplicant, I've copied it into /boot and rebooted, but when the desktop is up the network top right shows wlan0: Not associated and click it shows No Wireless LAN interfaces found.

Would could explain this because I've reviewed the content of wpa_supplicant.conf and the content is correct.

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=UK

network {
    ssid=“my network SSID”
    psk=“my SSID password”
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}

[Edit] Edit wpa_supplicant.conf changing country to GB, moved back into /boot and rebooted, still nothing.

The correct code for United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is GB NOT UK.

You state "Wireless LAN country to GB" so I don't know where you got your wpa_supplicant.conf which should have been set by imager.

Please check if the wpa_supplicant.conf file is in the correct location. Since you mentioned copying it to /boot, that should be fine. Just make sure it's not in any subdirectories within /boot.
