Bluetooth connectivity of ipod touch 4g
my ipod touch 4g can't connect via bluetooth to other ipod devices, but it can detect mobile phones. maybe i'm missing something. please help. thanks in advance.
Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, some peer-to-peer apps, and some keyboards.
Other than this it will not connect to any phone/device/computer.

Hi,
I am trying to connect an iPod touch 3rd (ios 5.1.1) generation to control my KEYNOTE's presentations in my iPad2 (ios 6.1.3). I activated bluetooth in both but they do not see each other. Is there any specific procedure to allow the connection or it is a problem of compatibility between versions of ios?
I appreciate any input.iPhone: Go to Settings > General > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth ON.
iPad: Go to Settings > General > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth.
On the iPad running Keynote, open your Keynote presentation.
Tap the Tools icon in the toolbar.
In the Tools menu, tap Settings.
In the Settings menu, tap Remote.
In the Remote Settings menu, turn on Enable Remotes.
On the iPhone, open the Keynote Remote app.
In the iPhone Settings window, tap New Keynote Link.
On the iPad, the name of the iPhone appears in the Remote Settings window; tap Link.
On the iPad, enter the four digit number that is displayed on the iPhone, and then tap Done.
iPhone: Open the Keynote Remote app. You can begin to control your slideshow from your iPhone by tapping Play Slideshow. -

What does connecting my iPod touch to my iMac via BlueTooth do?
I connected my 3rd Gen iPod touch to my 27" iMac through bluetooth just for the fun of it, and I'm just wondering what difference it makes. Are there any features that I can use to utilise the connection. The only thing i noticed from glimpsing through the apps is the addition of accounts on the notes app. Other than that, I can't seem to find any other use.

That's unrelated to Bluetooth and did not occur as a result of you pairing the iPod touch and iMac.
Bluetooth in the iPod touch is for connecting headsets/headphones/speakers, keyboards, and some peer to peer games.

Is there any way to connect my ipod touch to my laptop that is running Windows 7? I've tried and tried and very time it will connect but then when it goes to download the drives an error pops up saying "bluetooth peripheral device not found".
The bluetooth is largely meant for speakers and keyboards, not data transfer.

MacBook loses wireless connection when iPod touch connects to network
hi
ever since upgrading to 10.5.5. on my MacBook i've had the "intermittent network connection" problems that have been described and discussed (without any real solution from what i can see) in another thread.
PROBLEM: every couple of minutes my MacBook loses connectivity to the network - the AirPort icon still says that i'm connected, albeit with one less bar than before, but i can't connect to anywhere, not even to the wireless router - and to re-establish a connection i need to switch off AirPort, switch it back on, it will then reconnect, and after two minutes or so i have to do it all over again because the network connection drops again.
NOVEL OBSERVATION 1: reinstalling the 10.5.5. combo system updater helped somewhat. i used to get an error in system.log about there being too many state transitions on the wireless network and about network traffic reduction measures being taken to overcome this problem, but after reinstalling the 10.5.5. combo system updater this message never appears in the logs and I get kicked off only sometimes (see what i say in point 2 below)
NOVEL OBSERVATION 2: now my MacBook will only lose its connection to the net if i switch on my iPod Touch and switch its wireless interface on. in fact, the only way to avoid the MacBook getting constantly disconnected is to make sure that the wireless interface on the Touch is switched off in the Touch's system preferences; if I just sleep the Touch (top button) without switching off its wireless network interface first in its System Preferences, then the MacBook will keep disconnecting even while the Touch is in sleep mode (presumably the Touch keeps polling the network or something, even while it's in sleep mode).
DIAGNOSTIC NOTE 1: I have another wireless device (my Nokia E51, which has wifi capabilities) and if I connect it to the wireless interface then the MacBook's connection isn't dropped - i.e. the MacBook only loses its wireless connection when my iPod Touch connects to the wireless network.
DIAGNOSTIC NOTE 2: I have upgraded my wireless router (before I had a Linksys WRT-54GC, now I have a Netgear WGR614v9) but that has made no difference.
DIAGNOSTIC NOTE 3: I have also tried altering the router's settings (i have played around a_lot with this, trying every combination I could think of - e.g. staple down particular devices to particular ip addresses, use only 802.11g versus automatic b/g, etc) but that has made no difference either.
RANT:
The only thing that prevents these disconnections from occurring is to keep the iPod Touch's wireless switched off, which ***** because if I'm in the kitchen I can't have it switched on to monitor my email (yes, I've no life, i hang around waiting for emails), or if I go have a lie down and want to check out stuff on the net, or to browse the iTunes music store or whatever, then I know that my connecting my iPod Touch the computer will be disconnected.
This obviously *****, right? And a lot of people are having wireless problems with their MacBooks, right? And these problems seem to have been around for over a year, right?
So why hasn't Apple solved this problem yet? Or am I just being melodramatic?
Your thoughts on any or all of the above, or flames if that's your preferred method of communicating, are invited. =)
Cheers
dr.colekatHaving the same problem here. As a first time mac user, Apple has certainly made a bad first impression.
For me, the issue seems to occur when transferring files between computers that are connected to the same access point (when transferring files from wired computers on the network there is no issue). My vista laptop and every laptop I have tried has worked perfectly fine with this access point so I am 100% convinced it is the mac. Basically when I copy the files, after about 100mb, I am unable to access anything on the local network or internet until I restart Airport. The weird thing is that even though I am unable to access anything, the airport utility says it is connected. I might also note that the wireless signal strength is full.
If I can't get this figured out in a few days, this computer is going back to the store where it came from and I will officially label myself anti-mac. This type of issue is just unacceptable for something so main stream. -

Often, when I connect my iPod Touch 2G to the PC, instead of showing up as a device on iTunes, a pop-up appears that says I have connected a camera and asks what I want to do. This device doesn't have a camera in it. When this happens, (not always)I can't update my iPod, no matter how many times I try to connect it. I have an old Nano that has never had this problem at all. Can anyone tell me what to do about this?

I connected my ipod touch to the computer. When it brings up itunes and start to sync, it stalls at the last step (6). This keeps me from being able to add other songs from my library to my ipod. I'm very new at this and maybe just don't understand how it works.

Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?
You can't do that.
And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music. -
Working on a single computer with multiple users, I have set things up to allow each user to view and listen to the others' music libraries under the "Shared Library" function. Can you then connect an iPod touch and copy music from a shared library?
Was your wife logged into the libray at the time you tried to log in? I have had a similar problem and it was because another user was logged into the library when I attempted to. I got the permission denied banner.
