Airport and ipod touch

I would like to create a wifi network so that I can use the internet on my ipod touch. How would I go about setting this up?

The steps in the "solution" are logical. However, I connect my MacBook Pro 15, set up as shown. My iphone 3G "sees" the MacBook Pro as a wifi network but stubbornly refuses to receive or transmit through that connection. What am I missing??

  • Airport and iPod Touch/iPhone

    Just need a quick clarification since I've never used my Airport card. This card will allow me to use the wi-fi feature on the iPod touch/iPhone correct?

  • New Airport Express and iPod Touch not playing nicely

    I've been using Verizon FiOS for over a year, and during installation the tech hooked up a wireless Actiontec router. The router worked fine most of the time, but every once in a while it stopped working with the iMac and iPod Touch (1G). Sometimes it would work but then drop the signal for a few moments and reconnect moments later. Sometimes I couldn't connect for days at a time. I would either need to unplug the router for a few minutes or call Verizon to have a tech reset its settings. I do have my Xbox 360 plugged in via ethernet to the router, and during these outages, the Xbox worked. I figured that the router's wireless connection wasn't as compatible as it could be with my iMac and iPod Touch. I decided to purchase an Airport Extreme because my folks have one, and using the iPod Touch there was as easy as could be. It always connects instantly and has a strong signal throughout the house.
    I hooked up my brand new Airport Extreme last week. Verizon's setup is through coax, so I have the coax plugged into the Actiontec, and an ethernet connection from this router to the WAN on the AE. The AE is in bridge mode. Both routers are downstairs next to my TV and Xbox, and my iMac is upstairs. The connection thus fas has been solid on the iMac. I get full signal strength and great download speeds. This isn't any different from the Actiontec; I am just hoping that the AE doesn't drop the signal and need to be reset like the Verizon router needed from time to time. The Xbox 360 is also hooked up to the AE now, via ethernet. It's working just fine, too.
    My problem is now with the iPod Touch. Its connection to the AE is weak in comparison. If I am sitting right on front of the AE downstairs, it works. As soon as I go upstairs (where the Actiontec worked just fine), it loses the signal completely. At the top of my stairs, around fifty feet from the AE with no walls between the AE and iPod, I lose the connection. It simply does not work upstairs, even though this is where the iMac is located. The Actiontec router is no longer broadcasting wirelessly. Obviously I am trying not to use that router because it's unreliable, so I really want the iPod to work with the AE.
    I have read I don't see anything here that helps me. I have reset the network settings on the iPod Touch. I have unplugged and replugged in the Airport. There's not much else I can think of to figure out why the signal reaches the iMac just fine from a distance but not the iPod. If anyone has troubleshooted this before, I'd really appreciate your help.

    I have a very similar problem with my AE! My MacBook, MacBook Pro & iPod Touch (1st Generation) all get a GREAT signal from our AE. BUT, our iPod Touch (2nd Generation) and new iPad (WiFi) get terrible signal strength unless we're right next to the AE!! Tech support at Apple is of no help! I'm ready to sell them all! This all started when we got the last OS update for iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad. So it must be a software issue not a hardware one..
    Any ideas?

  • Airport Extreme no connection to iPhone and iPod touch

    Just bought a Airport Extreme model A1408(latest Sw update) and after setup I can connect to PV, but not with iPhone4 and iPod touch2 gen. that is also to guest net work and private net work, does not work. I have set up to; share public IP address as suggested here in the community and have ignored the doubble NAT as suggested here so light is green on the Extreme airport but still no allowed connection to iPhone4 and iPod touch 2 gen. I have connection and internet to normal PC and Apple TV so what am I doing wrong..??

    It is likely that the AEBS(n) is blinking Amber because you have NOT implemented any form of Wireless Security and the AEBS(n) is annoyed at your laissez-faire security policy.
    You really should implement either WEP (TSN) or WPA/WPA2. Use WPA/WPA2 unless the least robust security method available to you is WEP on your roommate's Dell laptop. If WEP, use WEP (TSN) and specify a 13 ASCII character (exactly 13) password.

  • Internet problems on my macbook pro and ipod touch with camera.

    Hi,
    For the last week or so I have been experiencing internet problems with my macbook and iPod touch with camera. I'll be online and clicking different news articles and suddenly the address bar will start to open a link but will not complete it. So what I do is go up to the signal bar and click turn off airport then turn it back on and that will temporarily solve the problem. Same solution on my iPod, I turn off the wifi and turn it back on. It is very frustrating for both devices. I will include as much info as possible. I have a NetGear RangeMax wireless router model WPN824v3. I was wondering if changing the wireless settings on that would solve my problem. I have the channel on 9. Mode on b and g. Security option on WPA-PSK [TKIP] with password. I would be happy for any help with this issue. Also I hope I'm following correct posting protocol. I haven't been on this forum in a while.

    Sig,
    Thanks for the advice. I finally tried a solution after doing nothing. LoL. What I did do was change the channel the router was on from 9 to 7. I think I've done something like this in the past when I had slow internet and that worked out well too. I thought that would help and so far so good. Not an interruption so far but we shall see. To the guy or girl who expressed that they had the same problem as me I would try changing the channel of your router like I did. I will monitor the situation and see if it totally solved my problem or not and keep this thread updated. Thanks people

  • Airport with iPod touch

    I have a new desktop mac and also a 16Gb iPod Touch. A friend has just bought a mac book and IPod touch also and tells me that he can get them to communicate by using the airport system. I'm new to macs and I'm having trouble getting my devices to communicate without a cable link. Am I wasting my time or is there a way to use my iPod with airport from my mac? Thanks

    chezankev, Welcome to the discussion area!
    You will want to configure your desktop Mac to use Internet sharing. To do this, on the Mac open System Preferences-> Sharing preference pane and enable Internet sharing from Ethernet to AirPort. This is assuming that is how your Mac is connected to the Internet via Ethernet. Then your iPod touch can connect to the wireless network provided by the Mac.

  • TS3276 An email sent from my iMac has a button linked to a clip hosted on Vimeo. When received, the link functions on iMac and iPad, but opens a window of app icons on iPhone and iPod touch. Any ideas what's wrong?

    An email sent from my iMac has a button linked to a clip hosted on Vimeo. When received, the link functions on iMac and iPad, but opens a window of app icons on iPhone and iPod touch. Any ideas what's wrong?

    For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
    If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
    Problem solved.
    And George, as this is all entirely voluntary, whinging about no takers may not endear people to you. Besides which, a few minutes of searching on Google would have found you a number of solutions.

  • Xbox and Ipod Touch Problem

  • My ical in my Macbook Pro is not in sync with my Ipad 2 and Ipod touch. What can I do?

    Please help,
    Every time I use my Ipad 2 or my Ipod Touch to enter an event or an appointment to my ical, either one of them will show the event or appointment as soon as they are connected over WiFi. The same event will not show up in my ical in my MacBook Pro. I tried to sync them and nothing. I double check to make sure all the features in all 3 (MacBook Pro, Ipad 2 and Ipod Touch) are set with the same features and nothing. My ical in my MackBook Pro will not sync with the events in my Ipad 2 or my ipod Touch. Now, if I type the event in my MacBook Pro ical, and sync my Ipad 2 and Ipod Touch, then I have the events or appointments are recorded. But, many times, I do not carry my MacBook Pro with me, and I missed an appointment for example. Does anyone know how to solve this problem. Thank you.

    Greetings,
    Questions:
    1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
    2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
    3. Do you use MobileMe/ iCloud or another server based sync solution like Google or Yahoo?
    4. Do other changes to synced information like Address Book content sync successfully back and forth?
    Based on your description it sounds like you have a 1 way sync issue.  Events sync fine between the iOS devices and fine from the computer to the iOS devices but not from the iOS devices to the computer.
    Try:
    Backup your computer and iOS devices before doing anything else:

    Ensure all the devices in use are fully up to date: Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update
    Make separate backups of critical data:

    When you turn on your iDevice for the first time just sign in with the same Apple ID and you can download any apps you have purchased in the past! There shouldn't be a limit to how many devices you can use.
