Can AirDrop share files with an iPod Touch?

Can AirDrop be used to send and receive PDFs (or other files) between a MacPro and a 3rd gen iPod Touch?

No. AirDrop is for sharing files between AirDrop users, meaning Macs with Lion installed, and even so, as babowa says, not every Mac supports it. It's a Lion feature, currently not present in iOS.

How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?

How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?
The iPod Touch was working perfectly fine. iTunes suggest that I update the iPod Touch to the latest operating software, and I proceeded to do so. Then a message popped up stating that the iPod Touch needs to be fully restored - and that all data will be lost. The iPod Touch now displays the 'plug into iTunes' screen, and is stuck there. There are irreplaceable family momentos on the iPod Touch. How can I recover files from an iPod Touch prior to a required restore? HELP...

Your only hope is to contact a data recovery company. When it shows the connect to iTunes screen the iPod is essentially deleted.
You can restore from an existing backup

No iDisk-like functionality exists in iCloud. You'll have to look elsewhere, such as Dropbox or SugarSync.

Why my iPhone 3GS can't share internet with another iPod, iPhone or iPad with iOS 6.x?

Hi.
I am from Mexico, sorry from my 'english'.
I have an iPhone 3GS with iOS 6.1.3, i can share internet with USB and Bluetooth.
It's ok, but when want share, my iPhone 4S with iOS 6.1.3 doesn't detect the 3GS, and vice versa.
When i try connect with Bluetooth with a iPod Touch Fourth Generation with iOS 6.1.5, i can't too, they doesn't detect too.
When i try connect with Bluetooth with a iPod Touch Fifth Generation with iOS 7.0.4, it works!!
When i try connect with Bluetooth with a iPod Touch Third Generation with iOS 5.1.1, it works!!
¿What can i do? I can't connect with Bluetooth with whatever terminal with iOS 6.x.x

Your best bet is to switch phones with your carrier and get your 4S on the data account.
Otherwise, try resoring the iOS in your iPhone 3GS via iTunes.

Can't share files with Macbbok Air and Windows XP PC

Despite several calls to apple support I am still unable to share files with the PC.The PC is wired to the router and the macbook is wireless.
I can see the shared files on my PC in the finder of the MAC but whan I click on the file it says that 'original item "shared file" cannot be found'.
or when connecting via go-connect to server-, the error message
' the volume "Shared file" cannot be mounted' appears, this is followed by a message 'sorry the operation could not be completewd because an unexpected error occurred (Eror code -6602)
I can also only connect as a guest via Finder and sometimes when trying to connect the error maessages do not appear but the computer seems to absorb a lot of CPU usage, get hot and freeze.
Any ideas please?
I have tried turning off firewalls on both computers and have spoken to support for the d link router who confirmed that the router doesnt block file sharing.

Actually, I just typed in smb://PCNAME without any folders, logged in as a guest (I don't have a password-enabled share setting in Windows 7), and my Mac kindly asked me which volume to mount. I chose Users, and it popped up in Finder. Fully browsable.

Can i do this with my ipod touch

Ok so here is the deal i have an ipod touch(16Gb 2nd gen)and i was using it with my desktop i was syncing, updating and transferring data from my desktop to my itouch. Recently i got a laptop and i was wondering is there a way that i can get my stuff already in my ipod touch to my laptop? or do i have to move everything from my desktop to my laptop
mainly what i want to do is import my songs and movies and apps from my itouch to my laptop.... not only my purchased songs... everything in my itouch.. can i do that??? does anyone know how???

I was in the same situation recently. I saved all my stuff on portable hd and then I copied it to my laptop. Then I installed fresh copy of iTunes and I imported everything back in. Make sure to authorize your new pc to play purchased content. Once my library was the way I wanted it I plugged in my ipod and iTunes said I could only sync with one library at the time, so allow it to sync with your newly built library. Also if you haven't transferred purchased content manually itunes can copy it from your ipod to your new library.
If anyone knows easier way to move libraries between computers please let us know.

I can't send emails with my iPod Touch

My son has an iPod Touch and recently won't send emails. He can receive them, but he just can't send them. A message just comes up saying that the server is rejecting his address. Last week it was working fine. Any suggestions?

Hi Afisherman,
Thanks for the quick response.
I did call my ISP and he said the Port should be set at 25, it was defaulted at 995. I changed it to 25 and after that I couldn't receive or send mail. Since Christmas, he was receiving and sending mail, no problem, on Port 995, it just started doing this. So I set it back to 995 so he can at least receive his email. I've talked to a few people and they have been having issues with their email on their iPods. I think it may be our ISP. Might just get him a Gmail account. What do you think?

Can't sync music with new iPod Touch. Help!

I recently received a new iPod Touch for Christmas. However, last night, my moniter on my computer stopped working. So, until I was able to purchase a new one, I simply hooked up and old moniter to my hard drive so I could use my computer.
This moniter is very old, and considerably smaller than my other one, but I thought that it would work just fine. But today, I went to register my new ipod, and the registration screen on itunes was way too small. I could only see about three fourths of the page. I was unable to see and press certain buttons that I would need to in order to register my ipod and sync my music.
So, I went on the iTunes website and went ahead and registered my ipod there. Now, when I plugged in my ipod again, it was still asking me to register it on itunes, but I can't because of my screen. and I can't scroll left or right, because there isn't even a scroll bar.
My ipod is already registered, but now, does anyone know how I can skip the itunes registering process so I can just go ahead and get my music?
Thanks!

Yes, I did that. But my screen is too small, so when it comes to the Terms and Conditions page, the only options I can see are Cancel and Save.
I already registered the iPod on the iTunes website. Can I go ahead and sync my music now? Or must I go through a registration process on the iTunes program in order to get my music?

Can I buy laptop with free ipod touch for family member in school?

I bought a macbook pro for my sister-in-law who is in college on the online store using the education discount. We figured she'd take the ipod touch as well. After purchasing, I noticed that only Parents are eligible for the discount. How is this going to work? They didn't require the proof of eligibility at checkout online (which surprised me). Are they going to stiff me on the rebate for the ipod touch?

I don't know about "stiffing you" since you weren't officially eligible to purchase at the HED discount for your sister-in-law (the fact that they didn't ask for proof of eligibility doesn't waive the eligibility requirements; those are stated several places). Your sister-in-law should have purchased the Mac herself. So if Apple doesn't allow the rebate claim, that's as per their rules. But you can submit the claim:
http://www.apple.com/promo/
and see what happens. If they deny the claim, then you'll have to accept the decision.
Good luck.

Lion - how can I share files with another account on same computer

Lion has dropped public files and airdrop only works over wifi. How do I share files between two accounts on same computer?

I found and turned on "system preferences / file sharing" but also had to go to Finder preferences and select show "Hard Disks" to be able to see other users public folder.

How can ipad share files with windows pc?

Can the iPad be connected to a Windows 7 PC and used to share files between Word and Pages?

Word files can be opened and edited in Pages on the iPad and you can send the files to the iPad via email, by using a service like DropBox or by using iOS file sharing. This will explain how to use file sharing.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4094
You might want to be aware of the fact that some editing features will be lost from the Word files when you open them Pages - fonts will be limited - some formatting issues may arise - Pages on the iPad just doesn't work like Word on a computer.

LG KF750 Secret - can't share files with Bluetooth

Hello,
To my surprise I can't browse LG KF750 phone folder structure on my Mac (iMac Alu 3.06 GHz, 10.5.7) - I get an error that the request could not be completed ("Bad request"). I can't send files from my LG to the Mac, either - similar error on the phone screen.
I have the iMac and LG devices paired succesfully, though.
Any ideas? Thanks!

In Windows I have no problems whatsoever.
Also, the actual error looks like this: (at the very bottom it says "zle zadanie" which means "Bad request")
