Crash Course in Using an iPod Touch

I just bought a 32GB iPod Touch because my 80GB iPod was stolen. I bought it online and it hasn't arrived in the mail yet, so I'm trying to learn as much as possible before it gets here. For someone with a Dell PC operating through Windows Vista, can anyone give me some simple or some detailed advice on what is in store for me when I get my new Touch?
As far as the WiFi goes, I don't have much knowledge on this subject. I have wireless internet at my home right now, so can I get the internet through my home internet? Also, I'm a college student, so for the most part of the year, I'll be at college where we do have WiFi throughout most of the campus.
Thanks a lot.

when you get your ipod, you will need to connect it to itunes, and do some setup things. Then, you can put music, videos etc on it.
As to wireless networking, your ipod will connect to any wireless g or b network that you have a password for, or is unsecured. So it will connect to your home network. Have your password ready. You can connect to your campus's wifi, provided you have the security key for it, there is no mac filtering enabled, and it is a b / g network. Also, some collages / schools etc limit wifi access with policies. This may block your touch, so contact your it guy
hope this helps

  • 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.

    I downloaded a movie on my Ipod touch useing my Ipod touch and I guess I was rushing through the download prosess that it glitched up but I would like to fix it without reseting it. I can see the movie in my videos but it is not in my purchases and now I cant even view it it says I dont have permmision to access it and it wont let me delete it by sliding my finger accross it. Help

    Movies are not one of the items you can reload via iClould like apps, music, and some other items.  You can contact iTunes and request a redownload,.  They may give you one.

  • How can I use my iPod Touch as a remote for iTunes, while connected via USB?

    I was wondering if I could use my iPod touch as a remote/iTunes extension while it is connected to my computer via usb.
    It would be highly practical to control my music from there, since it is charging right by my side while I'm at my computer.
    Remote is not really an option, my computer doesn't have bluetooth or any connectivity. Something over wifi would work, but there's a usb connection right there that's begging to be used.
    Thanks

    You can't do it via USB.  Go to the App store and download/install the Apple Remote app.  It can control iTunes on your computer via wifi.

  • HT1206 Can I use one iPod Touch with 2 accounts and download from both accounts?

    Can I use one iPod Touch with 2 accounts? Can I download onto the one iPod from each account?

    I havent seen anything confirming this but I suspect not. that would require you keep logging in and out of the two accounts since you can only sign in to one at once. In iTunes on your computer if you log into another iTunes account you can't log into another one for 90 days. As I say I've seen nothing confirming this on a mobile device, but I suspect it will be the same.

    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

  • Hello. So I have used my iPod touch 4g for 2 years now and need to change the battery. My question is: will I lose everything I have on my iPod like my music,pictures and apps if I change the battery on my iPod touch 4g?

    Thanks for answer

    If you go to Apple, they will not replace your battery, but exchange your iPod for a refurbished iPod of the same model with a new battery.  Therefore you will lose everything that is not backed up.  If you change it yourself or have a third party change it, you will most likely not lose anything (but still best to make a backup as lllaass suggested).

  • I just yesterday purchased an iPhone. I was transferring photos and using my iPod touch 4th generation. I used it this morning perfectly fine and right now I clicked on the screen and it took me back to the very beginning start up. Can I get my photos bak

    I just purchased an iPhone, I was using my iPod touch 4generation to send pictures to my new phone. Everything was working perfectly. This morning as well I used my iPod to listen to music. By the end of the night I hit the home button on my iPod only to see it on the start up page (the one when you first activate your iPod) Is there any way I can get those photos back From my iPod some how! I do now have iCloud nor did I save anything to iTunes cause they were just photos on my iPod. Help please..

    You said " I was using my iPod touch 4generation to send pictures to my new phone." Just what did yo do?
    - If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. Go to iTunes>Preverences>Version and look to see if y have a bavkup of the iPod. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer N/a since that is part of iCloud
