How do I control my iPod from my PC?

Hi, I'm sitting at my PC desk, in a large, open-plan room that also contains my entertainment sytem on the opposite side of the room.
Say i'm currenlt busy, but i'd also like to change the music i'm listneing to through my entertainment system (containing my iPod on a dock) without having to leave my desk and, disconnect the iPod, choose, connect, walk back to the desk. An easier way to do this would be to have a program or app from which I can select tunes from my iTunes library on my PC, and have that play on my iPod via WiFi or other home network.
Is there currently an app or program which allows me to do this. I currently have Remote (by apple) installed which allows me to control iTines on my PC from my iPod, although that isn't much use to me, as my PC isn't (and can't be) connected to my entertainment system. And it kinda defeats the point of my owning an iPod.
Cheers,
Connor.

Sorry, but I couldn't understand your reply. It simply doesn't make sense.
Anyone else offer some advice. I have heard of this being done via jailbreak, but I really don't want to do that.

How can i control my iPad from my macbook?

The iPhone has a "remote" app that lets you control Keynote on a Mac, but not on another iOS device (iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch).
There are some apps that let you control limited content on another iOS device - but the content has to be within the app. You might check out SyncPad - perhaps you can import the presentation into it and then control it on the iPad.

Use iTunes on the PC to restore the iPod, or install XPlay on the PC without changing the format. Restoring the iPod will erase everything on it.

My oldest daughter recently bought a new ipod touch and gave her old one to her brother. How do I unlink his ipod from her account and set up his own without losing the music and apps already on it?

Connect it to his iTunes library and set it up as a new device. You should be prompted to Erase and Sync the iPod if his iTunes library is separate from hers.
Or head to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase all Content and Settings.

How do I unlink my iPod from my old laptop and link it to new one without wiping all the tracks off it

How do I unlink my iPod from my old laptop (Vista) and link it to my new laptop (Windows 7) with deleting all the songs?

Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

How do I control my mac from another mac not in the same network? Thanks

You can do it manually, but it is much simpler if you use a tool such as Back To My Mac, LogMeIn, or something like that. Those programs enable you to connect to your computer through your router without you having to adjust the router settings manually.

Check out LogMeIn. I'm not sure if it works in both direction though. I can control my Mac from my iPhone.

How do I reprogram my ipod from Windows to Mac?

How do I reprogram my ipod from Windows to Mac?

Connect the iPod. Decline any offers from iTunes to sync it, if this is the first time the iPod has been connected to the Mac. When the iPod appears in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES, select it there. Over to the right, on the Summary tab, there is a Restore button. Click it. Follow the prompts.
Restore will erase the iPod and install the latest software, using default settings. If it is connected to a Mac when you do the Restore, it will use Mac formatting during the erase. That's basically the only difference. The software is the same, so it is not really "reprogrammed."

How can I disable my ipod from being controlled by others

My brother has an iPhone 5 and he keeps restarting my whole iPod from his phone. Does anyone know how to disable it or something that won't let him do that? And by restarting I mean he restarts it to a whole new iPod.

He is probably using Find My iPhone app and you are probably on the same icloud account so he can restore it
the app is here:

Turn off find my iphone by going into settings>icloud and then toggle find my iphone off
