Find my iPhone - iPod Touch

I know it's called Find my iPhone in Mobile Me but I tried with my iPod Touch and it appeared in San Francisco. Interesting as we are both located in northern Japan. Guess this doesn't work with Wifi then?

Find my iPhone does work on the iPod touch without GPS but to a much lesser degree of accuracy. It works on the known location of the WiFi hotspot you are connected to as long as it is stored in Skyhook Wireless's database.
You can add hotspot locations to its database here:

Is there any way to find a lost iPod Touch 4G without using Find My iPhone or MobileMe? By using the serial number or the iTunes account synced in it?

How do I find my lost ipod touch

I had my ipod before I got on the bus this morning, it was in my pocket. I sat down on the bus, and I didn't take it out of my pocket, there was someone sitting next to me, but she couldn't have taken it out of my pocket because of the way she was sitting. It's not in my backpack, and my bus driver said she looked everywhere on the bus while cleaning it-like she always does. It could have fallen out anywhere on the bus and someone could have taken it. I'm really worried because I had just gotten it and I'm using icloud to track it, but it says its offline. I don't know how it would even connect to wifi because I have a pass code on it. please help.

Until it goes online you cannot track it.

Is there anyway I can use my iPod Touch serial number or Apple ID to trace and find back my iPod Touch? Cause I lost it recently(as you know iPod Touch can only go online if there is WiFi). is there any other ways too, apart from contacting the police?

No.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
iCloud: Find My iPhone
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

Problems with Find My iPhone/iPod

It doesn't seem to able to locate the exact location of my iPod Touch. I have connected and disconnected wi-fi on my iPod Touch a few times to see if that helps. But it doesn't. MobileMe seems to say my iPod Touch is 10 blocks away from where I currently am when my iPod Touch is with me. This isn't just with the Find My iPhone/iPod tool though. The same goes with Google Earth app for the iPod Touch. They both tell me my iPod is 10 blocks away from where it currently stands. Does this problem only happen on some countries? I'm currently in New Zealand if that helps.

I really didn't think about it that way. Yeah bits of it is true. But if wi-fi tracking isn't that accurate, shouldn't the location change each time it is reset? Because I have tried resetting and it always gives me the same address that it did before I reset the wi-fi connection on my iPod.
There is one other thing that I forgot to mention. It showed me my exact location when I connected wi-fi internet through my cousin's internet connection a block away from where I lived.

Can someone find my stolen iPod Touch for me?

I bought my last iPod Touch at the Bakersfield, California Valley Plaza Mall Target store, but a thief stole it from me at the Bakersfield, California Truxtun-and-S Kern County Beale Memorial Public Library when I, while walking around the second floor for some exercise, had kept it on one of the patron second-floor desks still attached to my Motion Computing Tablet PC during downloading an OS update. The last post I had added to that same iPod Touch was a video of the use of a Spencer ******** sleeve with some lubrication they don't sell in their store. Yet, that video got stuck in transit in a holding cell while a new iOS update began. If that thief ever turns on my iPod Touch, my PC will notify me of that pod's whereabouts immediately. Why did that iOS update occur right at that moment when that same ******** video was to be either accepted or rejected as too obscene? My face is not in the video, which, in spite of its sexual content, might actually be educational and perhaps also business savvy. I made and posted the video because I wanted to convey my need for a real person to make love to, certainly not an object at all. The ******** sleeve makes my ***** look ridiculously like Alice in Wonderland dressed in her rings as depicted in some of the original illustrations in that fictional title's original book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. Why did those spies get really calm and quiet all of a sudden?! Can someone please find my stolen iPod Touch for me? If that thief turns that pod on, I might get that Target refund card, which I might use to buy another iPod Touch because I love its Photoshop Express' photo-editing and graphic-design features. If I ever get another iPod Touch, however, I won't take it to the library or the bus stop, where I won't stand around using the Internet. Instead, I'll just use it as a second camera and photo-editing tool.

No one can find it for you. If you did not set up Find My Phone, then it cannot be found.

ITunes U on iPhone/iPod touch workaround

I was curious if anyone had (or is working on) a solution to bring iTunes U content to Apple's mobile devices?
I created a simple workaround by creating static pages (using iphone friendly css) and pointing the links to the subscribe (/Feed/) URLs in our ITu site. The built-in .Mac feed reader then parses out the rss content in a way that is friendly to the device. Not a fancy solution, but it works.
To see it in action point Safari (on your iPhone/iPod touch) to itunes.bowdoin.edu.

I think things will become a lot clearer when an iPhone SDK hits the streets. Some people have messed with the iPhone toolchains you can find if you look hard ... with jail-break enabled iPhones. I would sooner wait for a definitive SDK.
We know very little of how Safari and iTunes work on the phone. At least "officially". Basically, if the phone can recognize the iTunes itmss redirect, then there is some hope. Certainly, a request client (something that would bypass Safari to get the redirect) is do-able ... in theory. The main problem, as I see it, is that the iPhone does not know how to handle the itmss redirect.

G729 VM wav on iPhone/iPod Touch

Hello,
I've looked around in this community and found a few folks asking about playing VoiceMessage.wav files on their iPhones. Some can, some can't. Those that can, it seems, may not be using G729-encoded WAVs.
But, before everyone pounces:
I've written a G729 (and Annex A, B and AB) decoder using the CCITU reference code as a starting point for the iPhone/iPod Touch. The reference bitstreams CCITU provide work just fine. (simply: I can get an e-mail with a G729 WAV attachment and play it on my iPod Touch, via my app; porting this to some other platform wouldn't be much of a hassle - licensing the IP, on the other hand...).
Looking at a VoiceMessage.wav file I received from a friend who has Unity, I see that the wave format tag (RIFF fmt chunk, bytes 9 and 10) come back as 0x0133 - that's defined as, WAVE_FORMAT_SIPROLAB_G729 (sorry, I wasn't shouting - I was copying/pasting).
After stripping away the RIFF header (RIFF, fmt ,fact and DATA chunks), I have what should be G729 data. It isn't - or, at least, it is in some sort of packed format.
G729 bitstreams have a SYNC_WORD of 0x6B21, then a 50 (dec: 80 - the number of bytes in the frame) delimiting each frame. Every 164 bytes, this repeats. That's not the case with the WAV I received. The person who sent it to me is in a position to know her system uses G729. The WAV indicates it is G729. There are no SYNC_WORDs anywhere and the 50s are scattered randomly (they're probably data at this point).
If that's the case, where do I find information about that extra layer of compression? Could it be the 80-byte packets are there, and that the SYNC_WORDs were left out, to be put back in at read time? (after all, if you know you're going to be processing 80-byte chunks, why bother writing out the SYNC_WORDs?) hmm...

FWIW: I just (literally - 6 minutes ago) got G729 voice messages to play on my iPod Touch directly out of e-mail.
Not sure if that's worth anything to anyone, but it *can* be done.
I rank the experience like learning long division.

Apple Unveils All-New iTunes U App for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch

A colleague just told me about this announcement from Apple -
Apple Unveils All-New iTunes U App for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch -
http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2012/01/19Apple-Unveils-All-New-iTunes-U-App-for -iPad-iPhone-iPod-touch.html
Do any fellow iTunes U administrators know anything about this? How is existing content presented in the new app? Would we need to change anything? How do we access / make available the new features?
The new features sound fantastic but it would have been nice to have some warning. I appreciate that Apple has to keep specific details about developments confidential but it's slightly disconcerting that iTunes U administrators were not forewarned about this new development and that there has been no mention of it on this forum. Also - and at the risk of sounding like a broken record - it really would be helpful for iTunes U administrators to have a private forum (perhaps an add-on to Public Site Manager) where we could discuss issues and share ideas and best practice etc.

Greetings Tom;
I watched the Apple's Keynote presentation and I'm amazed! I'm really excited about the possibilities this opens up for educators. I, like you am still processing all of the information and sorting out the possibilities.
Did you get the email about the Webcast on Wednesday the 25th at 10:00 AM PT that's going to cover the new iTunes U Corse Manager and how to publish through iTunes U Site Manager? Hopefully this is available to you in the UK. We'll keep in touch. All the best...

I need to synch my iphone, ipod touch and classic to a Mac that I have and 2 I am about to buy. I have legally paid for all my music. If I use migration on my new Macs and clone the original, can I use my iAppliances on all 3 Macs?

I need to synch my iphone, ipod touch and classic to a Mac that I have and 2 I am about to buy. I have legally paid for all my music. If I use migration on my new Macs and clone the original, can I use my iAppliances on all 3 Macs?

Yes.
You can authorize up to 5 computers to play itunes music ( pre-itunes plus). There is no limit on itunes plus ( all itunes music for the past several years) and imported music.
You can sync as many ipods/ipads/iphones as you like to each of your computers.

How many Multi-Touch points can an iPhone/iPod touch have at the same time?

How many Multi-Touch points can an iPhone/iPod touch/iPad have at the same time?
I am curious as IIRC (but forgot where the article is on the Internet),
if a touch surface is wanted to be able to detect more than 1 touch point at the same time,
then that touch surface needs adding 1 more conductive(?) layer.
(e.g. 2 points -> 2 layers, and so on)
So I wonder how many these layers are on the iPhone / iPod touch / iPad or even the trackpad on every MacBook (Pro).
(correct me if I'm wrong)
Just curious, thanks in advance!

I believe it can only support 2. This article explains how the touch screen works but doesn't explicitly say how many points is supports.

We have several iphones, ipod touches, ipad and mac's if we all install icloud under the same apple account will they all sync together...we don't want that to happen!!

We have several iphones, ipod touches, ipad and mac's if we all install icloud under the same apple account will they all sync together...we don't want that to happen!!

If any of you are like me, I had one single AppleID under MobileMe. Under my AppleID I had two additional Email addresses, one for my wife and one for her Mother. Each used their individual email accounts on their login on the home Mac and on their individual Iphones.
In order for them to not lose their email acounts when mobileMe goes away and/or you move your appleID acount from MobileMe to iCloud, you simply need to beaware of the folowing. Have each person with an email address under your AppleID MobileMe go to www.me.com; enter their email account and password in the corresponding fields. However, don't press the login button. Instead press the sentence under the login fields that says something to the effect of "do you want to move/migrate to iCloud. Follow the prompts from there.
In essence what Apple has done--albeit not communicated anywhere--is that they automatically created AppleIDs for each of those additonal email addresses you have/had under MobileMe. Therefore, use that email and password after moving from MobileMe to iCloud and your good to go.

Interactive QuickTime on iPhone/iPod Touch

Hi All
I am a relative newbie. I have created an interactive quicktime mov using Keynote. Works fine on screen and on web. Can't get it play on an iPhone/ iPod Touch. Is there any special quicktime settings I should be using? All help gratefully received.
cheers
Greg

Thanks for suggestion. I am puzzles though. Qt is such a powerful medium. Apple has enabled some of the text tracks within QT to play closed captions on iTunes / iPhone. That is great. How / when do the other tracks get enabled so we can use the full power?
