IMessage iPod Touch/Mac Problems?

I've had a 16GB 4G iPod Touch for about a year. I just purchased a Macbook Pro as well. My problem is minor, not a big deal, but I'm curious as to why this is happening...
When I'm messaging someone who isn't in a wifi zone (I'm sure of it) knowing they'll recieve the messages later, I'll casually iMessage either from the Mac or the iPod, each updating my latest messages as I do that. However, oddly, if I'm sending messages on the Mac, of course it doesn't say delivered underneath, as they are not delivering. However, as I glance over to my iPod, they're all coming up as delivered?? And same the other way around - I'll type on the iPod, send, and then no delivery, yet "delivered" underneath the message on the Mac..
I'm trying to understand this. Any insight?
Thanks!

Is the firewall enabled on the Mac mini? If so, you will need to enable Personal Web Sharing on the Mac mini. This punches a hole through the firewall so that the normal web browsing port is accessible via the shared connection.

ICal on Mac desktop to iPod Touch syncing problem

I have events on my iPod Touch that will not sync to my Mac OS 10.6.8 desktop.
What I've done that may have caused this:
I got a new MacBook for Christmas and so I tried syncing all 3 with iCloud, but that caused duplicate events
I tried only using MacBook & iPod Touch for sycing with iCloud and then directly syncing from my iPod with USB to my desktop, but it stopped syncing (later I found that my cord needed to be replaced, but I'm not sure if that was the problem - I was still dealing with some duplicate events, too)
I decided to stop using iCloud (I can do without using my iCal on my MacBook if there's no ideal solution to sync all 3 without duplications or other problems) and now my iPod Touch syncs well with my desktop for most items, but not all
I think my desktop thinks the events that are syncing have already been synced because they were in the past. The one that was important that I missed today, which is on my desktop (a repeating event) but is no longer on my iPod Touch, refuses to sync to my desktop. There may be more that I haven't noticed.
I thought maybe I could wipe my iPod Touch calendar and then sync my desktop to my iPod Touch, but I'm afraid that it might wipe my desktop as I don't know how to tell it to only go one way in syncing rather than acting as if it's a new program.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Be sure you've set your iPod to the correct time zone (ie, same as your computer). If you're on the East Coast it's three hours ahead of Apple HQ's time zone. A 5:00pm appointment in New York is at 2:00pm to someone using a Californian clock. Make sure your Touch isn't a Californian clock.

Problems Syncing 4th Gen. iPod Touch + Mac Mini 1.5 Ghz G4

Can the iPod Touch sync with this old of a Mac Mini. I'm having problems syncing my daughters new iPod Touch with her Mac Mini 1.5 Ghz PowerPC G4. The message "iPod Touch requires Mac OS X 10.5.8" appears. I can't get the OS to update past 10.4 Is there a work around???

No, there is no way around this. Sorry.
From the box the ipod came in and Apples website:
"System requirements
USB 2.0
iTunes 10.1 or later6
Mac: Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional (SP3) or later
Broadband Internet access required; fees may apply."

I have a mac pro, an ipad2 and now an ipod touch. Problem is my apple ID password is not recognized, and I cannot download or purchase applications. I have had to keep changing my password than it doesn't accept the new one either??? It says it's a year o

I just bought an ipod touch and am trying to make an application purchase on it and to use icloud to transfer to my ipad or laptop.
I cannot sign in. the password is never accepted. How do I get into applications to purchase or download some of what I have on my ipad?
This sign in on the ipod touch has the address computerservice1614.com I don't even know what that is. I signed in with my apple ID but had to keep changing the password because the ipod won't accept any of them. I am feeling so frustrated and wishing I didn't buy the ipod. Anyone know how to deal with this. I am so tired of trying. This is my second day of trying.

I would restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod on your computer and start over. It appears the iPod is associated with another account. Any media that came with the iPod does not belong to you and di not transfer with the iPod hardware.

IPod Touch & Mac Mini wireless

I have:
Mac Mini
iPod Touch
Wired network.
I have read that this can be done, but cannot figure out how to do it properly.
Need: Have the iPod touch use the Mac Mini as a wireless router/station so that I can browse the web from within 10 feet of the mac mini.
problem: I cannot get the iPod to pick up any web sites, but I can see the wireless share.
Can someone point me to a clear set of instructions on how to share out the mac mini so that an iPod touch can connect and browse the web?

IPod touch Battery Problems Since iOS 7 was installed last year.

Hello, I've had recurring battery problems with my iPod touch since the iOS 7 update was installed, and I find myself having to charge my iPod touch (5th Generation) a lot more frequently since I installed this update.
On iOS 6, I had never experienced any problems with the iPod touch's battery, as I was able to let the battery drain down completely, and let it charge for 4 hours (recommended). After the iPod touch was fully charged for 4 whole hours, I was able to unplug the lightning cable, and the iPod touch on its own would last a few days to at least a week or two weeks.
On iOS 7, since it saw its general release on the 18th September last year, I have found that the iPod's battery has drained so bad, that it dies too quickly, and when I put the iPod touch on charge, in almost an hour, the iPod touch tells me that it is 100% charged. However, when I take the iPod touch off its charge after it fully charges for that hour, it quickly drains down again.
I have gone through the standard procedure of restoring my iPod touch to its factory settings, and I have seen absolutely no improvement on the battery life whatsoever. I mainly back up whatever is on my iPod touch (I back up pictures, videos and also transfer updates that I have installed for certain apps onto iTunes), though I have seen how some people have backed up the data on their iPod's or iPhones, only they find their iDevice draining so quickly.
Even turning off certain features in the Settings app to improve the battery life doesn't help, as there is almost no difference that solves the problems I'm currently having with the iPod touch's battery.
I recently heard about the free iPhone battery replacement program which is now available, so I'm starting to worry whether I have to pay for a new replacement battery for my iPod touch.
Your help in this matter would be gratefully appreciated.
Many kind regards,
Alex Smithson

I mainly charge the iPod touch itself for four hours and it still doesn't make a difference. I've had my iPod touch for almost 2 years and since I installed iOS 7, it still doesn't make a difference.
I was wondering, if the article you have provided doesn't sort the problems with the battery out, is there another alternative??
Your help and advice is most appreciated.
Many kind regards,

Brand new Ipod touch 5g problems

I purchased one of the new colored Ipod touches, however, whenever I attempt to connect it to itunes it is stuck in recovery mode. When I attempt to put it in my computer, the computer asks me to recover it's software, however, I will download 6.0.1 and it will then proceed to say that it cannot connect to the server. After that it will ask me if I want to restore it again and will be stuck in a loop of not being able to recognize the software downloaded and restoring the device, are there any suggestions or people who have experienced the same thing?
Thanks,
Drew.

If you are using the latest version of iTunes on your Mac, and you are not using any anti-virus or other such nonsense on your Mac, and you still cannot contact Apple's update server, I think it's time to avail yourself of Apple's complimentary 90 days of telephone support.
You really ought not to spend so much time trying to fix a new iPod Touch on your own. Call them in the morning.

IPod touch connection problem!

My iPod touch no longer appears in iTunes when it is connected to the computer. I have tried to fix this problem in as many ways as I know but none of them have worked. So far, I've tried: Restarting my iPod, Downloading and installing the latest version of iTunes, using a different usb cable, using different usb ports, restarting my computer and stopping & starting the apple mobile device service. My iPod still charges when connected to my wall charger and the computer which I use (windows xp) still connects to my brothers iPod touch. I don't what the problem could be?! My iPod is 1 & 1/2 years old, but still works perfectly fine apart from this issue. Can anyone help?

IOS 8.1 iPod touch 5 problems

I recently updated my iPod Touch 5th gen to iOS 8.1 and have found a few rather annoying problems.
1) It now takes basically a whole day for my iPod to charge. I cannot use my iPod and charge it at the same time (or only on very low battery use apps), which I could before . The battery life has dropped pretty significantly. When I plug it in, it is extremely tempermental about being connected.
2) I added some new songs to iTunes and it took over fifteen tries over a three day period to get it to sync my iPod.
3) This one is very important as much as extremely annoying. When I start typing on the Internet, Safari will freeze up and stop working.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problems? Has anyone found any solutions?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- 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. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Sync both iPod Touch & Mac Mini to Al BT Keyboard Simultaneously

I have synced my Aluminum BT keyboard with my iPod Touch iOS 4 with good result. However it no longer was in sync with my Mac Mini. I then could not sync with my Mac Mini. I had to shut off the iPod to get back to the Mac Mini. Most frustrating. Do I have to buy a second Al BT Keyboard in order to have a keyboard sync with my iPod? Or can I get the keyboard to do two devices simultaneously.

The Apple wireless keyboard will only work with one mac devise at a time. I have two Apple wireless keyboards.

IPod Touch Internet Problems

My iPod Touch connects to my wi-fi but the internet does not work. I've tried forgetting the network and re-entering the password, I've updated all software, I've reset network settings, and I've also restored my ipod touch to factory settings to see if that would help. As of now, none of that has fixed the issue.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You may not really be connected to your network.
Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. To check on this go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Restarting your router by removing power to it for 30 seconds and restarting it may get around this problem. If this doesn't work then check for a firmware update for your router on the manufacturer's support web page.
If you need more help please give the make, model and version of your router and how you have it configured.

IPod Touch 5g problems switching between Mavericks and Mountain Lion.

My iPod Touch 5G is set up to sync (manually) with my Mountain Lion iMac. If I connect the iPod to my MacBook Air running Mavericks, it works fine. However, if I then connect the iPod to my iMac, iTunes re-syncs all 9,000 songs - taking hours! This can't be right. Is there any way to fix this? I've tried restoring it and copying all my music back to the iPod, but it still happens. I need to connect it to both Macs, without this annoying issue. HELP!

You can only sync music and videos among different iTunes libraries/computer using the manual method of syncing. Otherwise when y switch libraries/computer, the media on the iPod will be replaced with the media in the iTunes library of the second computer.
The manual method of syncing is included here:

IPod touch sync problem with iCal

My iPod touch (3th gen) doesn't sync any new appointment with iCal anymore (and vice versa). He only sync the older appointments, even when replacing all data from iCal to the iPod. I think the problem started since installing OS X Lion. I do not work with MobileMe, but directly via iTunes. How can I solve this problem?

Did you try to click either "all" or "selected"? If you click "selected" you need also to click on the different calenders that you set up. For example, if you have djm027 calender (that is calender for yourself), another calender for sister, another calender for your brother and so forth. You need to click them all if you want to be seem on your iPod Touch. And if you only want yours then you just click djm027. I am not sure if this help. This is how I fix the problem myself.
