Can I make an iPod Touch emit sounds over WLAN?

Hello everyone,
I have a very embarrassing problem here... A few days ago, I somehow lost my iPod Touch in my apartment (which is neither messy nor huge, so this borders the surreal). I looked everywhere, and it seems that over night, it slipped into a parallel dimension.
Be it as it may, I still heard it send a beep for an iCal alert yesterday from another room - but there are no more alerts coming, so I cannot hope for more audible clues.
Now I see this iPod is still connecting to my WLAN router every day precisely at 4 p.m. - I can see its name, IP and MAC address in the router's log, so it has to be near.
The obvious question:
Is there a way to "ping" an iPod Touch on a Wireless Network and make it emit a beep or play a song?
This is a regular 8GB unit with OS 3.1 and a bunch of WLAN-using apps such as Skype and "File Sharing" by Softalk - but I had none of them running when I last saw my iPod, so this probably won't help.
I'm out of ideas, and soon, the iPod's battery will die - so if someone has a suggestion, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.

OK, my lost iPod's re-appeared - still, I'm curious if there is a way to locate/"ping" an iPod on a WLAN in the same way one would call a lost phone. Does someone know of an app that would do this?

  • How can I make my iPod touch 4g faster??

    My iPod touch 4g is really slow and laggy most of the time and I don't know how to fix it. Also my cnet app closes randomly sometimes and, I don't know why. Can you please tell me how to make my iPod touch faster and less laggy. Thanks

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • How can i make my ipod touch sync with itunes again?

    recently, my whenever i plugged in ipod touch to itunes on my desktop or laptop computer it does not sync nor shows that itunes has recognized it. How can i fix this?

    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • How can I make my iPod touch 2G appear under "devices with removable storage"?

    My ipod always appears under "portable devices" under "my computer". I use Windows 7. I want to know why it does not appear under "devices with removable storage". I manually manage its contents. Please give any suggestions that may help. Thanks!

    - Because via My Coputer yu can only access the the photos (DCIM folder) taken by or saved to the iPod. The iPod touch (and iPad and iPhone) do not have a disk mode like other iPods)
    - You need a third-party program like SharePod to access music w/o iTunes

  • Can I share my ipod touch 5g wifi over bluetooth?

    Is it possible to share the iPod wifi over bluetooth (as a modem)?
    thanks
    adam

    No.
    If your ipod is connected to wi-fi then you already have a modem and router.  Your ipod is connected to it.
    Where do you think the wi-fi/internet on your ipod is comping from?
    Just connect whatever device/computer that you want to the same wi-fi network.

  • Help!!! Itunes and Pc can't detect my Ipod Touch 4g

    I tried everything that Apple Support told me to do and still can't detect my ipod touch 4g. Still stuck at apple boot logo, tried DFU mode and Recovery, still can't be detected by PC or Itunes. What to do? I need Help Badly.
    When i connect my ipod, no sounds pops out but it opens and charge still stuck at boot logo.
    I'm running Windows7 ultimate.
    Some told me to connect it to a Mac Book, is it possible that it can be detected on a mac book? Because i only tried connectin it to other Windows PC with XP, Vista and still haven't got anything. I don't thinl it's a hardware problem cause my ipod just run low on battery and i restarted it and then It got stuck. xD

    - Yes, another computer may help.
    - Next try disconnecting from computer/charger and let the battery fully drain.  Then charge and try again.
    - Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.  If defective, they will give you a replacement under your warranty.

  • How can you get your ipod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to wifi

    How can you get your iPod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to the Internet Connection and you don't want to reset it.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Can I connect n iPod Touch to powered speakers?

    I have an old pair of computer powered speakers. Can I connect an iPod Touch or Shuffle directly to the powered speakers? I would like to use the speakers in a garage with the iPod.

    The speakers just have the 3.5mm plug.
    If this is to plug into the back of a computer to get sound, then yes, just plug it into your touch headphone jack.
