How does the ipod touch connect to the internet?

I am looking at buying my kids the ipod touch 4th genreation but how does it connect to the internet or is it just itunes?

Wirelessly - WiFi. iTunes provides the means to sync directly with the computer and to make backups that are stored on the computer along with the library of music, movies, apps, etc. With iOS 5 or 6 installed it can sync wirelessly as well.

    Just let the battery drain until the screen shuts off. When you charge it back up it should boot up normally.

  • What is better, the iPod touch 5g or the iPad 2

    What is better the iPod touch 5g or the iPad 2

    I would have to say the iPod Touch 5th Gen. because its more portable and costs less but iPad have its own PROS like better internet surfing and you can do alot more things on it but the choice is yours. Oh and just a side note, I bet they are just gonna make a new iPad soon so if i were you stick with iPod Touch 5th Gen.

  • Is the iPod Touch in 2010 the same as the 2011 version?

    Is the iPod Touch in 2010 the same as the 2011 version? I've heard from people that it has a better camera.
    Can anyone clear this up for me?

  • Can You upgrade the iPod touch 4g to the new iPod touch 5g???

    Can You upgrade the iPod touch 4g to the new iPod touch 5g if you still have warranty???

    No. You can sell it or Apple will give you a recycling fee.

  • Why does the IPOD Touch bluetooth refuse the connection to my cellphone and declare it "unsupported"?

    I'm trying to transfer a picture from a Motorola Razr Cellphone via Bluetooth.  The cellphone discovers and connects to the IPOD Touch.  The IPOD touch discovers the cellphone but refuses to pair and declares the cellphon an "unsupported device".  The passkeys are equal so what is the deal?  Incompatiable versions of Bluetooth?

    It isn't designed to work like that.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647 for supported bluetooth profiles

  • Henry dropped the Ipod touch and cracked the screen.  How can I get this fixed.

    Hi,
    Henry dropped his Ipod touch and cracked the screen and put in a passcode and now has forgotten his passcode.  Need to know how I can get the screen fixed and or if it is covered on the 1 year warranty?  How can I unlock the Ipod without the passcode?
    Any info would be greatly helpful!

    Take to an Apple retailer. Such damage is not covered by your warranty.
    A Complete Guide to Recover Your iDevice if You Forget Your Passcode
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
    Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
    Connect your device to your computer.
    Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
    Select the Summary tab.
    Select the Restore option.
    When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not necessary to create another.
    Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up, you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
    When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple logo while starting up:
    After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or you see "iPhone is activated."
    The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
    If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
    Placing your device into recovery mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • HT201335 does the Ipod touch work with the airplay mirroring

    Does the Ipod touch work with airplay mirroring?

    No. Only iPhone 4S and iPad (2nd or 3rd Gen) as it requires more processing power. You can still use airplay with your device though.

  • Does the iPod touch 4 have the same glass as the iPhone 4

    I was just wondering if the iPod touch 4th gen has the same tough rhino glass as the iPhone 4

    As far as I know, all iOS devises have a glass covered screen, with the exception of the iPhone 4 which has the back covered as well. The only diverice that I believe is that the glass on the iPhone may be thicker, but don't hold me to that.

  • I was just wondering if Siri will ever come out to the iPod touch maybe on the next update but I love apple like so much it is way better than any other company! But I was just wondering because Siri is so cool and I want to try her out

    I was just wondering because
    I have always loved apple and then
    I got my I pod touch and then
    I found out about Siri I have
    Always wanted to play with her
    Ever sence I found out! So i
    Just wanted to ask you
    guys from apple  

    Apple itself does not respond to questions on the Apple Support Communities forums.  Responses come from other Mac users like yourself.  We don't know what Apple plans on doing but I am not sure the iPod Touch has the computing power to do Siri.

  • Is there any difference in the size of the same app between the iPod Touch 5G and the iPad Air / Retina iPad mini?

    Lets say, Real Racing 3 occupy the same space in the iPod Touch 5G like in the Retina iPad mini or iPad Air?

    I think you didn't understand. I meant the size that takes from the flash memory. I hava an iPod Touch 5G and the app was 1.4GB the day that was release.

  • Why does my iPod Touch keep changing the date and year?

    Whenever I charge my iPod Touch after it completely dies, Safari never loads whatever site I'm trying to go on and the date always goes to Thursday, January 1st, 1970. I noticed the time always changes as well. i.e. it's 10:47am now and the time on the iPod says 5:35am. I don't know how or why it keeps doing this. I didn't mind it the first 2 times, but this keeps happening everytime I turn it on. Does anyone else's do this??

    Hi eskimoerin,
    reset & software update could fix the problem.
    Don't forget to backup your data from iPod.
