Can I use iPod Touch Wifi & Airtunes,without switching off Internet Sharing

I've got an Aiport Express connected to my stereo to stream my music library via Airtunes. It is away from my computer and does not have an internet connection hardwired to it. I would like to be able to use my iPod Touch to connect to the Airport Express, which would then wirelessly connect to the Airport Card in my mac, thus allowing the Touch to share the internet of my main computer.
Currently I can connect my Touch to the Airport card in my computer by turning on Internet Sharing, but when I do this, I lose the ability to stream my music to my Airport Express.
Can I somehow configure to stream music from my base computer AND surf the internet on my Touch via the Airport Express' wifi connection?
Thanks for any help!

Thanks Scott, Was thinking that might be the case, but was hopeful.
So, if I accept the fact that I can't use Airport Express to share internet that way, how about this related issue? I can connect my Touch by wifi to my computer's Airport Card by turning on Internet Sharing. However, when I do this I can no longer stream music from my computer's iTunes to my Airport Express connected to my stereo. The remote speakers disappear from the iTunes selection box. In order to get them back, I have to turn off internet sharing. And then Touch wifi stops working. Is there a reason that only once function would work at a time? Or do I have something configured incorrectly?
Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Peer-to-peer AirPlay
    With peer-to-peer AirPlay, your iOS device and Apple TV don't need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. If you have one of these products, you can use peer-to-peer AirPlay:
    * iPhone 5 or later, iPad (3rd generation or later), iPad mini, or iPod touch (5th generation) using iOS 8 or later.
    * Apple TV (3rd generation rev A, model A1469 or later) with Apple TV software 7.0 or later. Find out which Apple TV model you have.
    To use peer-to-peer AirPlay, your iOS device needs to have both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on.

    Therefore, this is normal.

  • Can't get through ipod touch 5g password without turning off 'find my iphone'

    hi!
    i have a big problem. so when i was so sick and tired of my sister fooling around with my ipod touch (5g) i changed the password of it. then after a few while, i checked on it then opened it, to find out that the password i entered is incorrect. i started to remember that i changed it. ( swear, i have amnesia when i am angry/****** off) so.. i researched for possible solutions. then i found out that i need to use iTunes so i did. it told me to 'turn off find my iPod touch' which i can't do because my ipod is locked. so, i did some more 'researching' . what it told me to is to go to icloud.com/#find and remove the device etc. etc. and i followed it. BUT for some reasons, i just clicked delete.then remove from account. i thought that it would help it so i went back to iTunes and did the same process but surprisingly, it still tells me to ' turn off find my ipod touch' which i can't do because when i wen't back to icloud.com/#find , i saw a message saying that there's no device registered to my account. i have nothing left to do but to just ask here. btw, iOs 8.1.2 thanks in advanced

    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.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    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.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    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 use iPod Touch apps on the iPad Mini?

    I have purchased iPod touch apps and movies for my iPod and now would like an iPad Mini. Can I use all of my old apps to transfer them to my iPad Mini?

  • Windows 7 - can't use ipod Touch

    I recently installed Widnows 7 on my Pc and have not been able to use my touch with it since. When I first plugged my ipod touch in it was recognized as a camera. I had this issue with Vista when I first bought my touch. The fix I used back then did not work this time. I then tried updated to iTunes 9 and it kept getting an error at the end and couldn't install. After completely uninstalling iTunes I was finally able to install iTunes 9. Now, when I plug in my touch I get the message that Apple Mobile Device Service needs to be updated. I am told to uninstall both iTunes and AMDS. I have done this a few times and keep getting the same message everytime I plug in my touch. I no longer see AMDS in my list of installed progams. HELP!!

  • Can not use the maps Otherwise iPad will switch off itself

    As the question described in the topic, I now want to reinstall this app or delete it from the first page, but I can not a way to do that. Could anybody please tell me how to do it-delete the apps from the first page. When I long tap the apps icon in the first page there is no delete signs appear on the left upper corner but they do from the second page.

    My problem is not about reset. I can not use maps app, everytime when I tap the maps, the machine will switch itself off, which means the white apple appears on the screen. Also, I can not search any location by google map. My hypothesis is to delete the maps app then install it again. However, I can not find a way to delete it, as you mentioned it was firmware I could not delete it at all. But I still wonder if anyone here can give constructive suggestions to fix the maps issue.

  • Can i use ipod touch 5's charger instead of ipadmini's???I'm in hurry!!!

    I'm in hurry!!!!!!!

    Assuming the iPad mini is not the Retina display version yes you can use the iPod charger with it.
    If the Mini has a retina display it requires more power than the iPod charger can provide.  It still may charge, but will be very very slow.

    You should restore the the iPod to totally erase the iPod and add your own media to the iPod.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and restore to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes.

  • HT4291 I just bought a used iPod touch that was held out as 2d generation.  Turns out it is not.  My problem is that I cannot reach the iStore or get more episodes for my podcasts when I am using wifi.  Any help for a technical novice?

    I purchased a used iPod touch advertised as 2d generation.  I later found that it is first generation.  I can use the device for my limited purposes but only when connected to my desktop.  For some reason that I can't figure out, I am unable to download "more episodes" for my podcasts or otherwise connect to the iStore when using my wifi connection.  Can anyone provide a fix for this problem. Note that my technical skill level is about 3 on a scale of 10.

    Does the iPod see the networks?
