How can I get internet connectivity with my iPod Touch cabled to my PC?

Most devices "tether" to a computer (PC or iMac) for internet connection. I cannot find any reference in the user manual on getting internet access from the connected PC to the "tethered" ipod touch. How can I accomplish this?

Hi,
The iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS support Internet tethering over a USB cable, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3574.
The iPod touch can connect over a Wi-Fi network, as mentioned here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2031.
If your PC has a wireless card, you may be able to create an Ad-Hoc Wi-Fi network that can share the Internet access to the iPod touch.
You can also get a wireless router, like an Airport base station http://www.apple.com/wifi/.

  • I have all my music on an external media drive that has crashed. How can I get the music of my ipod touch back onto the comupter without loosing the music when it syncs?

    I have all my music on an external media drive that has crashed. How can I get the music of my ipod touch back onto the comupter without loosing the music when it syncs. in order to start rebuilding my music collection?

    You should be able to recover the media with the tips in  this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That should switch the assocation of the device to the new library but it is not something I've personally tested.
    When you get it all working, make a backup!

    It will tell you there is an update available.  Choose to update. You can click the check for update button as well.
    What itunes version do you have?
    Are you sure you have an ipod touch 4th gen?  You said it was old, but the 4th gen is the latest ipod touch.
    Maybe you should explain what the problem is.

  • TS2771 how can i get my speaker to my iPod touch 5th generation to work i cant hear with without using the ear phone's

    How can I get my speaker fixed I cant hear only when I use my ear phones

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty or the iPod has been abused, Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    Your touch can connect to your wireless network via WiFi. How your network is setup makes all of the difference on whether or not you can connect, however.
    If your desktop is connected via Ethernet (even with a USB adaptor) you may be able to use the desktop as an ad hoc wireless network. This is possible on Macs ad Vista machines, not sure on XP.
    Your best bet is a wireless router, however. They generally have more range than an ad hoc setup and have additional benefits such as a firewall and network security. You would connect your broadband connection to your wireless router and then all of your devices, wired or wireless would connect through your router.

  • HT5052 How can I get ios 5 for my iPod Touch without downloading iTunes 11? iTunes 10 and above screw up .mov readibility in Final Cut Pro, so I do not want to update iTunes.

    Any iTunes above 10 will screw up .mov accessibility in FCP, so I do not want to download iTunes 11 just to get this iPod Touch updated to 5 or 6.
    Can I download the update some other way?

    If you have a 4G iPod (one with cameras) you can only go to iOS 6.2.1 and that requires iTunes 10.7 or above.
    If you have a 3G you can go to 5.5.1 with iTunes 10.5 or later.
    A 2G can only go to 4.2.1

    you can update on another computer with the right version of iTunes but you will not be able to sync with your computer unless you update iTunes on your computer.

  • How can I recover pictures taken with my iPod touch 4g?

    At one point in time about a year or so ago I took some pictures with the camera on my iPod touch 4g, and just assumed that when Apple said it was "backing up" my iPod, that it included those pictures. I even have an "iPod Photo Cache" folder (or did, until I deleted it a few days ago upon discovering that there were tons of unreadable files w/ NO PICTURES ). Well, I've had to restore my iPod touch a time or two and no longer have those pictures, or any other ones I had taken with the camera before the restore. I have everything else from the backup, but not those pictures, and I really want them now. I thought I had them stored safely away in an email somewhere (or a reply to the email, for I sent the email with the pictures from my iPod ). As it turns out, that was one of the email replies that never came through, and was copied and forwarded to me in a different email! So now I have no copies of those pictures, and while most of them I don't care about, there are a few I want back. Is there ANY way to recover those pictures? Thanks for any help!

    if you've backed up your ipod touch via iTunes, all of your photos will still be there as of that point. Hopefully you do it often and wont lose many of the new ones.. There is a Software named Dr.Fone for iOS which can recover deleted iPod touch photos. It did a decent job recovering my iPod touch 4 photos without even any iTunes backup.

  • How can I get apple to warranty my iPod touch 4th gen? It has always had issues and seems to be a lost cause. Will not connect to wi-fi. It also has cracked screen, but that is not the issue.

    It has a cracked screen also but that is not the issue. I am willing to live with the screen

    Unfortunately, ANY signs of 'neglect or damage' automatically become the cause of any issues you're having. As in it doesn't matter if your screen was flickering before it was dropped, when they see the dent or cracked screen, that screen flicker was caused by the drop. Because they  have no way to know if you are telling the truth (it's nothing personal, they just literally dont' know) so any signs of damage become the reason for your issue. The only way out of that is if you had taken in your iPad and, even if you didn't get it replaced, an apple employee can have documented that yes, that issue existed before the drop.
    It's not fun, I know, but that's just how it is. Any signs of 'neglect or damage' and that 'neglect or damage' is the cause of your issues.
