How to set up "Find My iPod Touch" 3G without MobileMe

Hi, I have an iPod touch 3G and want to set up "Find My iPod Touch" on it, as described here:
http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/find-my-ipodtouch-setup/
I'm running OS 4.3.4 (8K2) and have iTunes 10.4.1. I have an AppleID but not a MobileMe account. I understand that since iCloud is replacing MobileMe, they are not accepting any more subscriptions (not that I'm anxious to pay $99/year for what will now be a free service). I'm not sure I want to create a new account anyway, because all the apps I own are linked to my current Apple ID which is not an email address.
I have a program called "Hidden" for my Macbook which works via wi-fi. If I lose the Macbook, I log into the Hidden website and it triggers the Macbook to broadcast its location via wi-fi (assuming it's within range of a signal). So I would assume that since an iPod touch has wi-fi capabilities, it could do something similar even though it's not directly linked to the internet like an iPhone.
Does anybody know how I can get this going?
My son has an iPad 2 that is wi-fi only and I would like to set up the same for him.
Thanks for any help you can give!

I updated to OS5, and changed my Apple ID to the email account associated with it on this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/manage/
and now Find My iPod Touch is installed! Resolved!

How to set up a new iPod Touch and transfer data from old IPod Touch

ok, it's Friday night, I finished the cheese and about 1/2 a bottle of wine (myself... not ideal for a smurf my size) and I still can't find the answer to my question after searching [to the best of my most current ability] all over the forums (I even searched long before I started drinking wine). I appologize right now for my ignorance and inability to find the answer on my own.... but could someone PLEASE, just tell me the best way to kill my daughter's Ipod Touch 2nd Gen (advertised as Gen 3, ha, ha, on me), and set up her new-(to-us) Ipod Touch Gen 4? I've already backed up her old device to my computer? (it's a PC - sorry, it's free from my husband's office)
Do I set up her new-ish Gen 4 as a "new device" or "restore from back up?" She's young enough (grade school - & why she gets old/cheaper HW) that we both still uses my iTunes acct for her device and mine so that I own & can monitor/manage the music that we both listen to... but this time I'll set up her own iCloud acct. Although the new device (let's call it device B) has been wiped clean from the last user, how do I set it up? New device or restore from bk up? Now that she saved up the $ I paid for it, to pay me, she's driving me crazy about getting it going for her. Her orig/current device, iPod Gen 2ish (we can refer to that as device A) has been backed up to my computer and I'd like to port all of her data (calendar, contacts, pictures/movies, etc) to her new device. Please help this old mom... my girl is driving me crazy... and I feel bad not delivering her goods. Many thanks.

How to Set Universal time in iPod Touch?

the ipod touch's date and time has been changed by itself,
so i want to change the time in to universal time
Is there a way that i have to set by my self but doing other things?
like example, my window computer's clock is universal time
can i synchronize that in to my iPod?
What Should I do????
PLZ Help ME!!

You can set the time zone on your iPod Touch to UTC. Open Settings and proceed from there. See the screen shot...

AFAIK there is no way to natively sync your iPod Touch time with your computers clock. Note the iPod Touch built-in clock is pretty good, in my experience, and exhibits little drift.

Maybe:

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Somebody please say how to download ios 7 for ipod touch 4g without jailbreak or at least an ios 7 theme

As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

How do it get find my ipod to work without screwing up my e-mail accounts? I want to be able to delete e-mail on the ipod without affecting the email archives on my iMac.

WHo thought up this system anyway. When I tried to activate find my ipod the system reset my mac.com mail from pop to imap. I WANT IT TO ATAY POP, so that the email on my iMac does not disappear when I remove them from the iPod. Is there a way to do this?

Remove your work email from the Mac email app.
If you are referring to iMessages, you would need to remove that account from iMessages.

How to set up my new iPod Touch 4g

I had one previously but the screen is so cracked up that you can't see the left half of what's going on and I don;t have internet on it. Anyways, I want to delete that iPod and add this new one in.

There's nothing to delete.
Connect the new device and either set it up as new or restore from the backup of the old one.

Just be careful since you can mess it up. Just make sure you save an unmodified version of your iPod backup.

How can I find my iPod touch if it was not registered?

It is recently bought and didn't manage to register it. Is there any chance to find it knowing only the serial number?

The iPod can't be locatd by its SN. The SN can only be used to verify tha the iPod is yous when it is found.
If you had already set up
Apple - iPod touch - How to set up Find My iPod touch
then you might be able to locate the iPod if wifi is on and some other conditions are met. Apple will not help locate your iPod. Also see:
