Can an iPod touch be used for streaming via wifi from iTunes ?

Hi,
I suspect the answer is 'No' but I'd love someone to tell me otherwise.
Thanks

You can also use Tversity to stream audio and video content from your PC to the iPhone or iPod Touch.

There are some crippling limitations, however:
1) It appears that right now, all videos need to be transcoded to iPod format before they can stream. And unlike streaming via the Xbox or other devices, the transcoding has to completely finish before you can stream the video, whereas other devices allow you to transcode and stream on the fly.
2) There doesn't appear to be a way to shuffle music or use playlists. So if you stream music, you can only play one song and then use the interface to select another... it won't keep playing from a playlist or automatically go to another song.
I can confirm, however, that the streaming does indeed work with the iPod Touch, not just the iPhone. I tried it myself and it worked, but the limitations above make it impractical for me to use regularly. Perhaps the folks at Tversity will be able to add more features over time.

  • Can the ipod touch 2Gs use USB 1.1?

    Can the ipod touch 2Gs use USB 1.1? I knows if it does then it will be very slow but I wont mind ... (too much). And if it does is there any down side (besides the wait)? Does 1.1 USB have a different electricity level then USB 2.0?

    You should be able to, but yes, it will be VERY slow.

  • Why can't iPod touch 2G use home screen background wallpaper?

    It really didn't make any sense. Everyone wants to update their iPod touch to iOS 4 just because they want to use Multitasking and home screen wallpaper. But Apple just don't let all the iPod touch 2G users use these features. I know that the touch 2G hardware is not powerful enough for the multitasking ability and it's reasonable, but just why can't we just replace the home screen background by a picture?

    Reports have quoted that Steve Jobs said that icon performance was degraded too badly with wallpaper for Apple to feel comfortable including that feature.

  • Can the Ipod Touch be used as a hard disk ????

    hi all ...
    I have the Ipod touch and was wondering if it can used as a hard disk. The other versions of the Ipod have a : "enable hard disk option" but it seems the Ipod Touch does not have that option ...
    any help is welcome ....

    The iPod Touch (and the iPhone) is not designed to be used as a storage device which is why it is missing the option you've seen on regular iPods.

    No.  Airprint is wi-fi, not bluetooth

  • I have an Ipod Touch, and i want to sync music from iTunes, but i cant, as my Ipod is showing up as a camera, how do i make change it back to an Ipod, so i can sync music??

    I recently started using my Ipod touch again, and i bought music to go on there.
    I tired syncing it, but Itunes kept freezinfg because it needed to be updated to 10.6. After i updated it, my Ipod was not showing up. I figured out that it was showing up as a camera on my laptop.
    How do i change it back to an Ipod on there so i can sync music?
    need answer by morning. xx
    ps. also, how do i get it to download IOS 4.3?

  • Please Help Me. iPod Touch 5th generation will not download music from itunes

    My son has an IPod touch 5th generation that he got for Christmas (3 months old :(!  All of a sudden if he is on iTunes and buys a song it won't download. It will say its already been purchased but its not in downloads.  I have soft reset and now finally did the erase all data and settings.  When it started up and i signed into icloud everything started downloading but the music.  If I go into the iTunes app and hit purchased music I can see all the music but when I go to hit specific artists it sits and loads (circle is circling) and won't show me the individual song titles.  I'm sick to my stomach that the iPod is not fixable because I can't afford to buy my son a new one and I haven't finished paying this one off.  Can anyone help me please?   I can add music from iTunes on my computer directly to the iPod when plugged in. So I am assuming this means something is wrong with iPod.    Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you.

    First, don't obsess over it.  If, in fact, there is something wrong with the iPod, it's still in warranty.  Now, I don't know for certain what will fix this for you but here are some suggestions, beginning with one that's quick and easy.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • New iPod touch won't play songs or videos from iTunes!

    Hello,
    I purchased a 64gb iPod touch for my niece for Christmas.  We set it up and synced her library this afternoon.  None of the songs synced from iTunes will play (cover art appears but the song never plays - we have tried pressing pause and restarting, etc.).  Also, the iPod says it "cannot open" the movie we synced.  It will play one song that we purchased from the store using wifi (and will play that song instead of playing some of the other synced songs if you try to play them now). 
    We have restored twice (once from a PC, once from a mac).  The same issue recurs each time. 
    This is turning out to be a huge disappointment for her, so any suggestions will be appreciated!
    Thanks!

  • How can I get variable playback rates for podcasts/audiobooks downloaded from iTunes?

    When I download a podcast from the iTunes Store, say Criminal or 99% Invisible, it shows up on my iPod Touch 4G just as a regular song as part of an album--it's not classified as a podcast episode and there's no way to speed it up. When downloading Serial episodes from the Serial site, however, it came with the 2x/.5x speed options, which is extremely useful for me. I tend to download the episodes directly to my computer and then add them to my iPod Touch via MediaMonkey, so I'm not sure what the difference is. With audiobooks, I have to manually change the genre to audiobook and then add to my iPod via iTunes to have the variable rates, so it's really quite a hassle. Is there any way to make this more efficient?

    If you want to access the variable playback rates then the media must be transferred such that its media kind is either podcast or audiobook. I've just tried moving an mp3 audiobook file over to my iPad using MediaMonkey and it has ended up in the right section of the device's library so it must be possible. My understanding is that media kind is a private iTunes property, not stored in the tag, so perhaps MediaMonkey has used Genre to decide which part of the iPad library it should add the file to.
