Ethernet MAC address on ipod touch?

Hi,
I'm using a iPod Touch 2G (16GB, ordered this summer with a new MacBook Pro), and I'm trying to register the device with my school wireless.
The form that I have to fill out in order to request wireless access for new devices asks for system type (APPLE-IPOD), OS (IPHONE-OS), and the ethernet and wireless MAC addresses (or "ethernet hardware address"/"wireless hardware address"). These two entries can be found on computers in System Profile/Network, where you can find the MAC addresses for Airport and Ethernet.
However, I'm not sure what to do in the case of the iPod. I understand that you can find a MAC address in Settings/Network, but this only shows the Airport MAC address, correct? I can't submit the form without including the Ethernet address, and I can't submit using the same MAC address for both Ethernet/wireless. Is there somewhere else I should be looking for this information, or is this an issue that I have to bring up with the IT office directly?
Your help is greatly appreciated!

whoops, my mistake--I meant that I'd already found General/About/Settings, but the Wi-Fi address there only indicates the equivalent of the Airport MAC address, correct? Where would I find the equivalent of the Ethernet MAC address? (or if the "Wi-Fi address" on the iPod touch is equivalent to the Ethernet MAC address, what is the wireless MAC address?

  • Changing MAC address on Ipod Touch

    Does anyone know how to change the MAC (Wi-Fi) address on the Ipod Touch?
    Thanks in advance,

    You can not do this.
    MAC addresses are hard-coded on the hardware.

  • HT5299 which is my ethernet mac address when in a retina with adapter?

    Hi,
    I need to get my ethernet mac address, but i have a macboock pro retina displays that only have wireless connection. I bought the gigabit ethernet adapter, but i need the mac address because the University system that will provide me the net connection needs it to allow my computer to the net.
    Where can i find it?
    Thanks!

    Plug the adapter into the MBP-R (*) and go to System Preferences > Network > Thunderbolt Ethernet > Advanced.
    (*) You may also have to plug an Ethernet cable into the adapter at least once. Mine has been plugged in, and I didn't check the MAC address before the first time, so I can't tell for sure.

  • Changing ethernet MAC address

    I would like to change my macbook pro Core2Duo's ethernet MAC address. Has anyone succeded in doing that? how is it done?

    Not sure why you would need to, but here yah go:
    For anyone who has not noticed it ... you are now able to change the system's Ethernet card MAC adress without any third party software. Just do a:
    % sudo ifconfig en0 ether aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
    where en0 is the network interface (numbered from en0, en1, en2 ...) and aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff is the desired MAC address in hex notation.
    Be careful...

  • Ethernet MAC address has changed and I can no longer connect to the network

    I have a new iMac, 21.5" running 10.6.4. It was purchased in the past month.
    I am using it on an ethernet network and using DHCP to obtain the address. It has been working for the past few weeks. I turned it on today and it is failing to connect. After some digging around, it seems that the MAC address (Ethernet ID) has been reset to 00:10:18:00:00:00. This is different to the one it has been using last week.
    I have not changed any network settings. Airport is working fine.
    If I pull out the ethernet cable and reinsert, the machine tries to obtain an IP address. After a while, it returns with a self-assigned IP Address.
    Last week, I did notice that it was taking a relatively long time (a minute or so) to obtain the IP address over ethernet. Plugging the same ethernet cable in a macbook, I am able to obtain the IP address for the macbook much more quickly.
    I see that I could use ipconfig to change the interface address to what I believe is the correct address. Would this be sensible?
    Why would the machine have reset the MAC address anyway?
    Regards,
    Neil

    Dear all,
    I am having the same problem with a new MacBook Pro, bought end of October - for me it became apparent for software (Matlab, Comsol) that are registered with a licence file which was created based on the MAC address, and also when trying to register the computer to the company network. That software will only work those times that the computer "knows" its real MAC. Also, I found that audible audio books, managed through itunes, will not synchronize with the ipod at those times when the MAC address is at the producer's default (00:10:15:00:00). I never had network issues other than this computer registration, - no probs at home or elsewhere - , so it will depend on the individual setup which issue users observe.
    I have had long phone discussions with different Apple support people, they have done checks based on Capture Data that I sent to them via email, etc.. They can't find the problem in the software/setup and they advised me to go the Genius Bar and have those guys look at the computer's guts.
    Restarting sometimes did set the MAC to the real one, also running the code that someone suggested in Terminal sometimes helped.
    Other than that, looking through the web, it does not seem to be an Apple-unique problem, but certainly one would like to see support to take care of that issue for Macs soon.
    Also, thanks a lot for this thread! Otherwise the support guys on the phone would not have believed my : "the Mac address changes on a daily basis" and would just have brushed me off.
    All the best,
    Susanne

  • Can I transfer pictures from my pc to a new mac via an ipod touch?

    Hiya
    So my new macbook pro is on it's way and i was trying to think of some easier file sharing from my old pc to my new mac than a thumbdrive back and fourth x amount of times.
    My Pc's wireless card burnt out or something like that happened that makes it impossible for the pc to connect to my wireless network unless i take it into a shop and pay x amount of dollars ha.(X this eliminates the possibility of my using dropbox or icloud to transfer files.
    So i was wondering if i could take a 3rd generation ipod touch, and download the pc's photos with itunes to the ipod then from the ipod to my mac with iphoto without losing quality?
    If theres any other ideas other than thumbdrives, and burning discs it'd be much appreciated
    Mainly i'd like to know if transferring files using my ipod touch would be a good idea or not? and if it could be done without losing quality.
    Thanks

    You should ask in the iPhoto and Ipod Touch forum areas.

  • ICal on Mac desktop to iPod Touch syncing problem

    I have events on my iPod Touch that will not sync to my Mac OS 10.6.8 desktop.
    What I've done that may have caused this:
    I got a new MacBook for Christmas and so I tried syncing all 3 with iCloud, but that caused duplicate events
    I tried only using MacBook & iPod Touch for sycing with iCloud and then directly syncing from my iPod with USB to my desktop, but it stopped syncing (later I found that my cord needed to be replaced, but I'm not sure if that was the problem - I was still dealing with some duplicate events, too)
    I decided to stop using iCloud (I can do without using my iCal on my MacBook if there's no ideal solution to sync all 3 without duplications or other problems) and now my iPod Touch syncs well with my desktop for most items, but not all
    I think my desktop thinks the events that are syncing have already been synced because they were in the past. The one that was important that I missed today, which is on my desktop (a repeating event) but is no longer on my iPod Touch, refuses to sync to my desktop. There may be more that I haven't noticed.
    I thought maybe I could wipe my iPod Touch calendar and then sync my desktop to my iPod Touch, but I'm afraid that it might wipe my desktop as I don't know how to tell it to only go one way in syncing rather than acting as if it's a new program.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Be sure you've set your iPod to the correct time zone (ie, same as your computer). If you're on the East Coast it's three hours ahead of Apple HQ's time zone. A 5:00pm appointment in New York is at 2:00pm to someone using a Californian clock. Make sure your Touch isn't a Californian clock.

  • What is difference between Numbers for Mac and for iPod Touch?

    Trying to decide pros/cons of getting Numbers for my iMac vs. just for my iPod Touch? Obviously, one is cheaper than the other.  Dumb question, but I guess I cannot use Numbers downloaded from App Store on my iMac; just on my iPod Touch?  And, can I just buy Numbers for iMac; seems only option is to buy as part of package under iWorks (don't need Pages or Keynote for the home).

    (1) Numbers for iOS and Numbers for OSX are completely different products building files using the same format.
    (2) You may buy Numbers as a single application thru Mac App Store. The application Mac App Store is delivered with Lion.

  • How do I download album artwork from iTunes on my Mac to my iPod touch?

    I have album artwork in iTunes on my desktop Mac.  I want to have that artwork with my albums and songs on my iPod Touch?  I don't see an obvious way to move or synch the artwork, except possibly replacing all music on my iPod with what is in iTunes.  I don't want to do that because I synch with my office and home computers and the music is not identical on the two computers.

    Thanks for your help, but I already have the album artwork on my desktop Mac (connected with its appropriate album).  When I synch my iPod (or simply copy the new album to my iPod), the artwork does not show up.  I could choose Synch Music, but that would then I get this message:  "All existing content on the iPod will be removed and replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library."  This would cause me to lose music place on my iPod from my home computer, which I don't want to do.

  • How do I get pics from mac mini to ipod touch?

    I have been trying to get some pictures from iphoto on my mac mini to my ipod touch.  They are not transferring. 

    Sync with your computer. Identify pictures via the Pictures tab in iTunes. Use iPhoto or put the photos you want to sync into a folder, then select that folder to sync from.
