Can i use my ipod touch with airport express?

I will be staying in a hotel that only offers hard wire internet connection. Can I use my ipod touch with airport express to have have WiFi? I won't have my computer with me.
Thanks!

Yes, you can. However, you will not be able to administer the AirPort from the iPod Touch. Thus you would need to pre-configure the AirPort Express to work at the particular hotel that you will be staying at. Note: Most hotels now offer Wi-Fi in the rooms and the Express may not be necessary.

Can I use two SIM cards with one iPhone5s? ie, switch phone numbers and plan, same carrier?

I live where there is no Cell service in remote BC Canada. Fortunately, we have highspeed Internet! Thus, I have been using an iPod Touch 4th gen & Skype to make all my calls for a 2 or 3 years. I travel a couple of times a month into cell coverage. I plan to use my iPhone 5s on a iPad Data Package when in cell coverage. I called and asked bell if I could do so if I bought an unlocked iPhone. I was told yes, but recieving calls would be very expensive. I have email notification and a phone number where voice mails are emailed to me, so am able to do without recieving calls in most cases. However, certain situations lead to frustrating telephone tag.
Just today, after receiving my unlocked iPhone 5s I realised that Bell also has a pay as you use plan that is very reasonably priced for cell calls only. If I was able to switch SIM cards I could get both plans. Thus if recieving a call or placing one was important I could just switch my SIM card. Could that be done reasonably and practically?
I would appreciate an answer to this question!

Let me see if i got this straight. You have two iDevices. One is an iPad, which uses 3G Data. The other one is an iPhone 5s. You plan on purchasing two plans, One thats has only 3G Data, and the other one that has only phone calls, and messages.The answer to your question is Yes. At least i done that with t-mobile USA. If your iPad is compatible with nano-sim cards, yes you can. If not, you will have to buy an iPad with nano-sim such as the iPad mini 3G. This is totaly possible.

Reconciling Mulitiple iPod Touchs with ONE computer

This Christmas was an "iPod Touch" Christmas for the family. 5 iPods, and we don't have 5 computers. When we register multiple iPods with the same computer, the email and password that shows up so the kids can downoad aps on their individual iPods is the email / password of the FIRST person that registered.
Don't tell me that Apple expects that if you get 5 iPods you're going to have to have 5 computers to be able to register them all correctly.
What's the solution for this?

You can sync as many ipods as you like with one computer.

Using Facetime on two iPod Touches with one Apple ID

My wife and I both have new iPod Touches.
We use a single Apple ID between the two, so all app and song purchases are on one account.
But it appears we need separate Apple ID's to use Facetime? Is it possible for her to create her own Apple ID just for Facetime, but continue to apply purchases to my Apple ID account?

Yes.
(1) Some users find that they can create one more free email account and associate it with FaceTime as a separate caller iD associated with the same FaceTime iD.
Then assure that each iPod is configured with a unique Email address showing for the
FaceTime Account in Settings > FaceTime
(2) If you have already configured them separately but the problem persists, establish a new Apple iD specifically for use on the second iPod:
http://appleid.apple.com/
(3) I think you can configure the same iD for the iTunes Store in both iPod's by entering the same
info in the Settings > Store of both your iPods.
However, remember you purchase items via your account, not a specific device.
If you both synch to the same computer, these articles may help you:

Using two ipod touches on one account, playlist being deleted.

I have an iPod Touch 1stGen 8GB, and just recently, my roommate purchased a iPod touch 2ndGen 8GB. The Account is registered to me, but whenever he plugs his in to put new music on or take music off, it deletes his "On The Go" playlists. My iPod doesn't lose anything whenever I put it in, but just in case, I've selected to "Manually" sync music with both the iPods, and it still happens to his iPod. Is there anything I can do to stop it?

I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
More details of how:
http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help-tips-tricks/how-to-get-free-apps-from-the-app-stor e-without-a-credit-card/
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
To make sure you only sync the media yoo want, configure iTunes syncing so that only checked media is synced to the idevices.

Can't sync g2 ipod touch with new computer (windows7)

My original computer died and was unrepairable. I am trying to authorize my new computer (windows 7) to sync with my g2 ipod touch. I can sync apps, but it won't allow me to sync anything else - it keeps wanting to delete the contents of my ipod in order to sync.
When I plug my ipod into the computer, it won't read anything off of the ipod. What do I do?
I DO have a file with my music backed up on it on an external hd, but I can't seem to repopulate my library with it. I've tried dragging the folder onto the itunes folder (something that usually works with other files) but it's not doing anything.
I hope someone can help.
p.s. A g1 ipod shuffle that I plugged in worked fine. Computer asked me if I wanted to make this computer an authorized one, I answered the questions and it was done. No problems. My g2 ipod won't do the same thing.

With iTunes, syncing music, video and audiobooks is one way, computer-->iPod.
You need to move your iTunes library to the new computer from the old one, or use another method to get the data off the iPod.

CAN I USE TWO IPODS ON THE SAME COMPUTER? PLS help

i cant seem to find alot of info about this on here... i am probably looking in the wrong place... but heres my situation. Ive had an ipod mini for 2 years now but ive just bought an ipod nano ..... i do all of my main downloading on my power mac g4, but i am going away for school soon and im going to bring my ibook with me. i have already transferred my current library from my Power Mac to my iBook.
What i would like to do is keep using my Power mac to do my downloading until i leave in a few months and then start downloading on my ibook once im away. However, i want to use my ipod nano now.... and you know, a few days before i leave i will update all of my songs that i have downloaded on my power mac onto my ibook.
any suggestions would be great. thanks.

Yes you can. Set your IPOds to "Manual Update". The IPOD can only be linked to one ITunes library at a time. If the libraries have the same content the its up to you which one to snyc from either in Auto or Manual mode.
Here is the official Apple statement:
Question: Can I update more than one iPod with my computer?
Answer: Yes. Each iPod communicates a unique device identification number to your computer, allowing you to take advantage of automatic music transfers to your iPod even if you share a computer with another iPod user. You can choose to automatically update your entire music collection on multiple iPod players or choose to update selected playlists, allowing you to transfer custom playlists to individual iPod players

Using two iPod Nanos on one computer

I just bought my husband an iPod Nano identical to mine (2Gb) but when I connect it to the computer, the setup assistant does not appear. When I go into device manager, it shows iPod and a question mark with an exclamation point superimposed. Any idea what to do to get the computer to recognize this second iPod?
Thanks

We have two identical ipods and also have different
music tastes, so when I download music onto one it
goes onto the other and I have to end up deleting
every thing and start again. Is there an easier way
of doing this.
Set them to "manually manage music".

How do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account?

how do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account? can they share apps and music etc. I'm not very good at any tech so advise would be much appreciated.

Yes. You can sync an unlimited number of iDvies that you control to one iTunes library/account. If using the same iTunes library on the same comutr just make sure that yu go to the ap. music and other pane for the iPod in iTunes and select sycn selected items. Not the the whole library. That way each iPod can have it own contents.

Can you use two iPod's on the same computer?

I currently have an iPod Video, and my mother wants to get a shuffle or nano. The problem is, we only have one computer that will let iTunes run. Is it possible to use two iPods on the same computer, or even with the same iTunes?

See these articles about using more than one iPod on one computer, and with either one or more iTunes libraries.
Multiple iPod installations.
How to use multiple iPods with one computer.
If you have the latest iTunes, an easy way to create a new library is to hold down the 'alt' key whilst opening iTunes (for Macs), or hold down the 'shift' key (for Windows).
This will give you the option of either using the current iTunes library or creating a new one.
There are various methods of transferring different songs to different iPods with a single iTunes library.
One is to manage the songs manually.
With this setting, you can drag and drop songs/playlists etc onto the iPod from iTunes, and also delete and/or edit songs which are currently on the iPod without affecting the iTunes library.
If you wish to keep the convenience of automatic sync, then you could set the iPods to sync with "selected playlists". This setting can be found in the iPod summary screen under the 'music' tab. With this setting, different playlists can be transferred and later deleted from each iPod without affecting any playlists stored in iTunes or the playlists on the other iPods.
Also, on the 'summary' main page you will see the option to "only sync checked items". With this setting selected, if you remove the check marks from any songs in iTunes, they will not be transferred to the iPod. You can restore the check mark if you want to put the songs back on the iPod at a later date.
Be aware that when playing songs in iTunes, any songs that do not have a check mark against them will be skipped over and will not be played.
