Does the iPod Touch Bluetooth require wifi connection?

I have an iPod Touch 3rd generation and plan to upgrade to the 4 this winter but if the Bluetooth does require wifi I'll probably choose the iPhone. The reason I ask is because I want to get these Bluetooth earbuds since I'm sick of the wire. But, if the iPod Touch BlueTooth can't work while I'm out then what's the point in staying with just the iPod? I prefer having just the iPod but I am seriously that sick of the wire that I'd get the iPhone.

BT will work fine without wifi.

  • Why does the IPOD Touch bluetooth refuse the connection to my cellphone and declare it "unsupported"?

    I'm trying to transfer a picture from a Motorola Razr Cellphone via Bluetooth.  The cellphone discovers and connects to the IPOD Touch.  The IPOD touch discovers the cellphone but refuses to pair and declares the cellphon an "unsupported device".  The passkeys are equal so what is the deal?  Incompatiable versions of Bluetooth?

    It isn't designed to work like that.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647 for supported bluetooth profiles

  • Does the ipod touch itself need wifi in order to use find my iphone??

    My ipod touch 4g got stolen and i have find my iphone turned on but my question is does the ipod itself need wifi to track it down??  I've tried so many times i played sound, i have a passcode lock on it, i even sent a message to my ipod... But i try to locate it, it says it's offline.it down?? if so there's no way to point to try to find it Right??

    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with a bank or any other savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • What bluetooth protocol does the iPod Touch use with a keyboard?

    Hi...
    Say, does anyone know what bluetooth protocol apple is using for their bluetooth keyboards for the iPhone and iPod Touch? It is probably HID, but the people at RIM (i.e. BlackBerry) use SPP. So I would think many 3rd party keyboards use SPP (Serial Port Protocol). But, then, there are many posts about "I wish Apple would support SPP" because people want to build apps that interface with external HW that only supports SPP.
    What I want to do? (you ask)
    I've one of these nice / expensive Think-out-side portable folding keyboards (good). That only has a serial interface (bad). There are many bluetooth "dongles" out there with serial ports (good). But they only support SPP or Serial Port Protocol (bad? maybe? depends).
    See, I know RIM (BlackBerry) people support SPP on their devices. But I haven't heard (found) word one about what the iPod Touch supports. I would hate to spend $80 on one of these dongles and find out it doesn't work.
    So, what does the iPod Touch use when talking to the bluetooth keyboard?
    -thanks

    From page 37 of iOS 4.1 Touch Users Guide:
    Using an Apple Wireless Keyboard
    For ease of typing, you can use an Apple Wireless Keyboard (available separately;

  • Does the iPod touch only use wi-fi or if it's plugged in to a PC can it use the internet?

    Does the iPod touch only use wi-fi or if it's plugged in to a PC can it use the internet?

    I have never done this myself,  however I know you can use some computer as the WiFi hotspots.  Macs do, and some PCs do. 
    There is not a way to physically connect the iPod to use the computers Internet connection.

  • HT201335 does the Ipod touch work with the airplay mirroring

    No. Only iPhone 4S and iPad (2nd or 3rd Gen) as it requires more processing power. You can still use airplay with your device though.

  • Does the ipod touch 4g has GPS

    Does the iPod Touch 4G ( 2011) have GPS? I was thinking of purchasing Navigon because I read an article stating Navigon works offline.

    Ipod touches determine location by using the registered address of the wi-fi routers to which they are connected.

  • Does the ipod touch works on any D-link Wireless or not

    Does the ipod touch works on any D-link Wireless or not

    Yes. I've been using it on multiple wifi networks. This D-Link is a DI-524 router with wifi. I have WEP enabled, SSID hidden. I'm a teacher and have it hooked up to the school network. (The network guy approved.) It runs my laptop, another teacher's laptop and my iPod via wifi. Being able to show science demos via YouTube is great!

  • Does the Ipod touch third generation have an international power supply?

    does the Ipod touch third generation have an international power supply?  Am going to travel in Europe and want to know if I need to use a convertor with it or if it has the international power supply and I can get by with the appropriate plug adapter.

    They are charged via your computer's USB port. As long as you have a USB charger it will work with the Touch.

    Though this wasn't updated (not having the Ipod Touch 5) but seeing the Ipod Touch 4 having both AVRCP and A2DP, Ipod Touch 5 should also have those...
    Thank you so much... Have a wonderful day
