Connect Ipod Touch to Mini Mac

Is it possable to use the mini mac as a gate way for my iPod touch using the bluetooth, as sadly I have no wirless internet and still want to connect through my ipod to update the emails I get? Also, may be a stupid question but can the itouch have the iphone OS on it as the apple website suggests that it can?

no. that is not a feature the iPod Touch supports.

yes. in fact it does. naturally, some features of the iPhone are not available on the Touch due to partially different hardware (e.g. the mobile telephony feature).

White screen when first time connected ipod touch to mac

I followed the instruction on the quick start manual (open itunes,connect ipod touch to my mac,and finish the registration,sync music etc.)Then the screen is still WHITE. I've tried some efforts including reset and recover,but still white screen! Couldn't believe this!
Help me!
PS：The touchpad seems to be ok. When I push the sleep button and slide my finger on the bottom of the screen,such a sound like the screen is locked or unlocked sent out.

uncheck the music in itunes and resync to delete her music from your ipod
then create another account using everything the same except change your email address from a ".com" to ".net"
like me, I have an ipod touch and my mom has a shuffle, she doesn't like using credit cards online
so we use mine for both accounts but with [email protected] as mine and [email protected] as hers
that way we can both use the credit card and on the same pc but with different passwords too

Unexpected error message when connecting iPod touch to mac

Just recently i've started getting an alert from the Sophos anti-virus software i'm running. It only happens when I connect my iPod touch to the mac, and as far as i can see it's coming from the mobilesync backup. Any ideas if i should worry about this and if there's a fix?

I would try:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

So, when I connect my ipod touch to my mac, iPhoto opens it and shows the pictures I have on my ipod. But the thing is, my ipod is not showing in iTunes. How can I change the settings so I could see my ipod touch in itunes?

Let's start by disabling the camera nofication.

It sounds as if your account has been compromised. I would recommend logging into those accounts from your computer and their websites and changing your password.

Sharing voice memos with your computer
You can sync voice memos with the primary iTunes library on your computer, then listen to
memos on your computer or sync them with another iPod touch or iPhone.
When you delete a synced memo from iTunes, it stays on the device where it was recorded, but
is deleted from any other iPod touch or iPhone you synced. If you delete a synced memo on
iPod touch, it's copied back to iPod touch the next time you sync with iTunes, but you can’t sync
that copy back to iTunes a second time.
Sync voice memos with iTunes: Connect iPod touch to your computer and select it in iTunes.
Select Music at the top of the screen, select Sync Music, select “Include voice memos,” and
click Apply.
Voice memos synced from iPod touch to your computer appear in the Music list and in the Voice
Memos playlist in iTunes. Memos synced from your computer appear in the Voice Memos app on
iPod touch, but not in the Music app.

Is there a way to connect iPod Touch to internet over my computer?

I don't have wifi, but I have internet and I can't get an app to update without wifi. I really can't connect through my iTunes on my computer? This seems kind of strange.
Don't know which "generation" it is it was a gift. It may be the one right before the last update.
Thanks for any help!
Steph

I think there two separate things being discussed here. One is syncing the iPod touch to the Mac. That's working fine. The other is using the iPod over WiFi, which has nothing to do with syncing. stephmayo is asking about using the iPod to connect to the Internet through the Mac, not syncing the iPod, I believe...
You have a MacBook with wireless networking (AirPort). If the MacBook is using a wired Ethernet connection for Internet access, you should be able to +share it+ over AirPort (WiFi) to your iPod touch.
Go to System Preferences Sharing pane. Select +Internet Sharing+ in the sidebar - do not check the box yet, just select it. Over to the right, set it so that you
+Share your connection from *Built-in Ethernet*+
+To computers using AirPort+
Click on the +AirPort Options+ button. You can name the network and enable encryption (security) using WEP. You can try it without encryption first to make sure it works.
Now, check the box next to +Internet Sharing+ in the sidebar, to turn ON this sharing service. Use your iPod to connect to this new wireless network you have established. If you need to make any changes to the AirPort settings (such as encryption) you have to turn OFF (uncheck) the service first.
The docking cable connection is only or charging and syncing. You cannot connect to the Internet from the iPod using the cable connection.

Connecting iPod to a reformatted Mac

I recently erased everything and reloaded Mac OS X Tiger on my Mac, and I was wondering if the iPod (80 GB, fifth gen.) that I used to sync on that Mac before reinstalling Tiger, would still be able to sync from that Mac like before, or would it erase everything from my iPod?

If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Senuti Mac Only
PodView Mac Only
PodWorks Mac Only
iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac & Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac & Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Connect iPod touch 2G to Reciever using RCA's? It cannot be this difficult?

Hello!
Need to connect iPod touch 2G to my reciever using RCA's?
But +I do not want to use the headphone jack....+ (I heard I will get higher sound quality using the bottom multi-pin connector on the bottom of the touch going to a left and right RCA's) +I have uncompressed (AIFF) files on my iPod touch and want the best sound quality possible.+
I found a couple companies that make these cables with one being the Cables To Go 4-Feet RCA Stereo to Dock Connector Cable for iPod and also the Nyko Stereo Link for iPod, but from reading the reviews on Amazon neither of them will work with the Touch 2g (or the iPhone for that matter).
I am also open to a simple dock of some sort that would provide me RCA outputs. Seems as if Apples universal dock would be great but it seems to have NO RCA outputs on the back of it.
If anyone has a solution to this I would be very very happy!
+I have looked high and low for a solution for this seemingly simple task.+
All I want is a connector that goes from the bottom of the touch to 2 RCA's so I can input this into
my home stereo so I can listen to my ripped CD's in high quality. A dock would also work too! I do not need charging or anything fancy....
(already have try the Tekkeon NavDock for iPod which was cool because I could watch my videos on tv from my touch but i dont need that)
+*just looking for something simple that works with the iPod Touch 2G.*+
*It cannot be this difficult?*
thanks, techo

As I stated above, the docking connector is not a "true" line-out, it does have a volume-tap so the volume control will work. It probably is somewhat cleaner than the headphone out (haven't measured it), but it is not going to be a significant difference as any improvement you get from the connector is severely limited by the DAC in the iPod.
You get no improvement in sound from using the pins on the 30 pin connector versus a 3.5 mm jack. If you buy a Universal Dock it is passing the signal from the 30 pin dock to a 3.5mm female jack, then you use the 3.5mm to RCA. Going directly from the dock connector to RCA will not improve the sound, the 3.5mm connector is not inferior in itself to the RCA connectors.
The A/V kit will get you the ability to watch your videos on your TV and output the stereo signal to your receiver. If you want even better sound for your music, get an Apple TV and use the HDMI cable to transfer the video and sound:

Is it possible to sync an iPod Touch with a mac and a pc?

Is it possible to sync an iPod Touch with a mac and a pc?

You can only sync an iPod touch to one computer for music, videos, movies and apps. You could, however, sync to the Mac for media content and the Windows system for contacts.

Hey People,

bluetooth on the ipod touch only allows for the use of bluetooth stereo headphones and peer-to-peer gaming between two ipod touches (or presumably iphones)

- Restore to factory settings via iTunes and start again
