"Find my Ipod" works without a WIFI connection?

Ok i heard that the "find my iphone" feature works for ipod touch.  Will it work regardless of a wifi connection?

...or they read this Apple site, linked in an above post:  http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/features/find-my-ipodtouch.html  While it does not explicitly say that it works without a connection, nowhere on the page does it say that you need one.  The implication is that it always works, as opposed to the stars have to be correctly aligned for it to work.  This is one way in which the misinformation is spread.

  • My phone is not working without a Wifi connection.

    I had to get a new cell phone because my speaker phone no longer works. Luckily my phone was still under warranty. Now my phone does not connect wirelessly unless I have a wifi connection. I never had to have a wifi connection in the past to receive and send email, connect to the internet, etc.. How do I fix this problem?

    That surprises you?

    Are you trying to say you cannot connect via your carrier's cell network?  You did remember to put the SIM in?

  • I have an iPod touch 4th gen and it updated by itself to iOS6 without a wifi connection. When I unlocked it, it told me to connect to iTunes. So, I updated the software and when the update was finished, my wifi button was greyed out. I'm cant turn on wifi

    My iPod updated by itself without a wifi connection. It told me to connect it to iTunes so I did and I updated the software and everything. After it was updated, my wifi button was greyed out and I don't know why. I sent it in to get fixed and the Apple store did NOTHING. I still have about 48 days left on my one year waranty and I don't know what to do to fix the problem. Please, does anyone know how to fix this issue without selling it or replacing it? I've tried all the troubleshooting techniques and nothing is working. Someone help.

  • I'm a new iPad owner. When I've rented a movie, I can't work out how to play it back without a wifi connection. I get a message which says you cannot connect to the iTunes store without an Internet connection. This happens whether I've rented or purchased

    I'm a new iPad owner. When I've rented a movie, I can't work out how to play it back without a wifi connection. I get a message which says you cannot connect to the iTunes store without an Internet connection. This happens whether I've rented or purchased a film. We're going on a flight soon and would ideally like to watch one on the plane. Can someone please provide some step by step instructions. Thanks.

    Rented or purchased video are watched through the videos app after you have downloaded them, iTunes on iOS devices is for buying media only.

  • I want to connect my Mac Book Pro to the internet in France without any wifi connection available? Mi Fi? Sim card?

    I want to connect my Mac Book Pro to the internet in France without any wifi connection available? Mi Fi? Sim card? All we have is a phone signal in this rural French location. I want to be able to Skype to states from there. We have a friend with a 3G ipad who uses an Orange sim card to do it. I would rather not have to buy an Ipad.
    thanks

    I found out that the data package for one month useage with MiFi is 1G. How many minutes of online time does that correspond to?

  • Can the time capsule works without WLAN cable connected to my DSL router?

    Cna the Time capsule work without WLAN cable connection to DSL router?

    WLAN is usually used for wireless LAN .. plainly you mean WAN port ..
    How do you expect to get internet if the TC is not connected to the internet?
    The TC can work stand alone.. true enough but that will then involve considerable issues in setting up two different IP addressing regimes .. you can just bridge the TC and use it as WAP and switch plus hdd without having to route.

  • TS1382 My iPod works properly if only connected to my PC - disconnected it goes blank.  Is this and old battery issue?

    My iPod works properly only if connected to the USB port on my PC, unplugged it goes blank and stops working.  Is this an old battery issue?

    Yes.  It sounds like the iPod's battery is on its last leg.  If you want to keep using your iPod you'll want to have the battery replaced either by Apple, a third party company, or you can even buy the replacement part and swap it out yourself.

  • HT204053 Can i find my ipod touch without the app?

    Can I find my ipod touch without the app?

    If you set up iCloud and enabled Find My iPod on your device, you can track in on icoud.com from a computer.  See http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442.

  • Can you find your iPod when it's not connected to wifi?

    The last time I saw my iPod was when I was at my friend's house. There was no wifi connected to it, and I've tried the Find my iPhone app. It didn't work. Is there any other way to track it?

    not without it being turned on, in wifi and having the Find MyiPOD turned on.
    So, basically, no.

  • I lost my iPod Touch, would Find My iPod work if someone connected it to their computer before restoring it?

    I know I lost my iPod at school, and I'm holding out hope that it hasn't been taken. So far Find my iPhone hasn't connected to it yet.

    It will only connect if it's attached to the internet. However, unfortunately, 'find my ipod' is easily disabled by the finder using iTunes to restore to factory defaults and wipe the device. Then it's no longer seen by 'find my ipod' and it's gone.
    good luck finding it. Maybe someone was honest and turned it in.

  • HT5569 Can i use my iPod 5th generation without a wifi connection?

    I have a friend that lives in Cameroon and she just recently just got and ipod 5 generation and she doesn't have wifi and it seems to give her issues once she doesn't sign into one. Is there anyway she can still use her ipod even if she doesn't have a wifi signal?

    To initially set up the iPod you need an internet connection. You can setup the iPod via USB with a computer that has an internet connection or using only the iPod with wifi connection to the internet.
    After that yo do not need an internet connection to use the iPod for tkings that do not require an Internet connection.

  • How does Find My iPod work..

    If Find My iPod needs a Wifi connection to work, how will it be able to be locked/wiped/tracked if it doesn't have a internet connection. And iPods don't automatically connect to wifi connections. Whats the point of it.
    My iPod was stolen and I'm thinking about all these stuff.

    Sorry about the loss...
    This is meant for devices which are on network (wifi or GPS/3G). If the device is stolen and wiped, or is out of internet access range (wifi or 3G), then there is no phone in the world to find. Not only iPhone or Touch...
    It is a great service for situations when you forget your Touch in the car or at your friends house. As long as it has Wifi and battery charge and the Find feature is turned on, you should find it.
    Thieves obviously know all this, so wiping it is the first thing, they'd do.....
