Can you purchase Internet access for newest iPod Touch?

I bought a touch for a friend for Christmas - he does not have tv/internet/telephone service - he gets internet on his Toshiba laptop through a Verizon aircard thing he plugs into a USB port. I could not figure out a way to get wifi to work on the Touch, or to even get the Bluetooth working so he can have wifi while near the laptop. Is there a way to just purchase internet access to the ipod so he can have access anywhere he goes? Or does anyone know a way to get the bluetooth to work from the Toshiba laptop to the iPod Touch?
Thank you!

The iPod will not tether via bluetooth to a computer for internet access. You should be able to turn the laptop w/aircard into a wireless access point (like a router) so the the iPod can connect via wifi to the internet. Just Google "laptop as a wifi hotspot" and you will get many hits.

    how can you retrieve your passcode for your ipod touch if you have forgotten it and it became disabled?

    You cannot retrieve it.
    You can do as the manual tells you to do and restore the ipod.
    If you are unable to restore, then type "unable to restore" into the search bar at the top of this page by Support and read the resulting help articles.

  • How can I get internet connectivity with my iPod Touch cabled to my PC?

    Most devices "tether" to a computer (PC or iMac) for internet connection. I cannot find any reference in the user manual on getting internet access from the connected PC to the "tethered" ipod touch. How can I accomplish this?

    Hi,
    The iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS support Internet tethering over a USB cable, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3574.
    The iPod touch can connect over a Wi-Fi network, as mentioned here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2031.
    If your PC has a wireless card, you may be able to create an Ad-Hoc Wi-Fi network that can share the Internet access to the iPod touch.
    You can also get a wireless router, like an Airport base station http://www.apple.com/wifi/.

  • Can you make IOS 7 for the iPod 4th Generation please?

    Can you make iOS 7 for the IPod 4th generation because to be honest it's not fair to us iPod 4th Generation users that the iPod 5 and the IPhone users get to have it but we don't

    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory. The 4G only has 256 MB

  • We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube?

    We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube? The Moodle upload interface is expecting a file selection dialog box like windows or OSX. I do not want to have to go through an intermediary step of messing with a pc.
    Thanks!

    It should be around 7 and a half gigs. In iTunes, across the bottom there should be a bar that show how much storage is being used and by what. (music, movies, apps, etc.) To make music take up less room, you can check the box to make it convert the music to 128kbps AAC. This lowers the quality, but with most earbuds and speakers, you can't even tell the difference.
    The iPod touch has parental controls built in. You'll find them in Settings. I think they only work for enabling/disabling Safari, Mail, YouTube, and App Store. Here's an app that does more: http://www.mobicip.com/online_safety/ipod_touch

  • How can you find out what generation your iPod touch is?

    How can you find out what generation your iPod touch is?

    Hi,
    Here is help for the operating system:
    If you are locked to iOS 3 then you have an iPod Touch 1st Gen.
    If you are locked to iOS 4 then you have an iPod Touch 2nd Gen.
    If you are locked to iOS 5 then you have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen.
    If you are locked to iOS 6 then you have an iPod Touch 4th Gen.
    If you can get iOS 7 and have an iPhone 5 sized screen [bigger] you have the current iPod Touch 5th Gen.
    I assume since it says you have iOS 5.1.1 you have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen.
    Also, you may want to sync it so iTunes can tell you or you can look at the model number on the back.
    Hope this helped.

  • Internet sharing for Vista - iPod Touch

    Having mainly used Mac as my operating system, I have figured out how to simply enable internet sharing through wifi, so that my iPod Touch would have an internet connection, and allow me to browse the web.
    On the other hand, I am currently on Vista as of writing and am having trouble enabling internet sharing for my iPod. It is not as simple, and I am lost. Could anyone guide me as to how this could be done?

    Just do a simple Google search for "vista internet sharing"

    If your printer is an Normal USB Port printer then you need to buy a Print Server ( WPS54G or WPSM54G). So once you configure your Print server you will be able to Print from all your computers Wired / Wirelessly. 

  • Can you trade in more than broken ipod touch at a time?

    we have had a lot of accidents with our ipod touches in our 11 people family, we probably have 4 or more 3rd generations lying around not doing anything, my sister has a working ipad, but she wants to get a 5th generation ipod touch, can she trade in as many 3rd generation ipod touches in that recycling program to get like 40% assuming that we have 4 3rd generation ipod touches?

    You can trade in as many old iPods as you want but you only get %10 off if your turn in one iPod or a dozen
    Apple will only give you a 10% recycling discount if you turn in an old iPod when you purchase a new one. Better off selling it yourself.
