Internet Filtering for iPod Touch

I have a 12 year old boy that just got an iPod touch for his birthday. Is there anything anyone can reccomend to filter the internet ie. Net Nanny? Thank you!

Maybe try turning off safari on restrictions and then installing k9 interent browser app, they're a internet filter, the app allows access to the internet with thier standard setting of filtering for the internet browser. Its quite good, its free, however you cant customize what it blocks from being seen when you browse the interent.

Search for non-internet Apps for iPod Touch?

I have an iPod Touch, so I don't always have an internet connection when I am away from my house. I would like to specifically search for apps that don't require an internet connection to run. For example, many of the translation tools rely on Google to translate--I would like a translation app with a built-in dictionary that I can use without having internet access.
Is there a way to specify a search for only self-contained apps (don't rely on internet) when searching iTunes? Or do I need to open the description for each app to see if it relies on an internet connection?

No one answered you, but this is exactly what I am looking for too.
What I have found is that, without an internet connection, the iphone and touch products are little more than a pretty music player. I think they call it 'cloud computing'; focusing data storage and function on remote systems and just using the touch and iphone for access. That appears to be the way their development is going. It works fine when you are always near wifi, but where I work has no wifi and no cell coverage. I've found that for most work tasks, translation, secure documents, gathering data, GPS etc, the PDA or smart phone is a better fit. Those store data and applications locally on the unit itself rather than on the internet somewhere that you won't always be able to access.
With all the storage space on the touch and iphones, you'd think they could give a little of it over to onboard apps and functions, but until they do, at least there is the PDA.

Media player and internet radio for IPod Touch 2g

I’ve just bought second hand IPod 2g and very disappoint. I expected will be able to download old application and enjoy maybe not new features but at least use the device. Unfortunately all which I found are not working (linke UPnPPeek) or need iOS 4.3 or higher. I’m not looking for anything new and flashy, just three things:
Simple and free UPnP/DLNA client which will play music from my NAS
Internet radio player with many stations
Something to copy files from my NAS over WiFi.
Could you help me please? I’m really frustrated on this stage after spending whole day looking for solution.

Computers are different, so you can't meaningfully compare the two types of devices. I'd suggest you research how far back the current versions of Windows Phone and Android support before you conclude that Apple is treating you unfairly. I think you'll find that Apple actually supports their hardware of this class longer than almost any other player/phone manufacturer. Your iPod was given two major operating system upgrades (with a number of new features in each) and a number of minor ones, all at no charge to you, which for a device like that seems quite reasonable to me. In addition, it's completely the developers' decision to drop support for older iPods and versions of iOS; Apple did not force them to do so.
Up to you, of course. If you feel some other device will better suit your future needs, by all means buy that device. Just do your homework before you decide so that you're not even more disappointed down the road.
Regards.
P.S. Oh, and in just five seconds of searching I found at least a couple of streaming apps that will still work on iOS 4.2.1, at least according to the app system requirements:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id294952511?mt=8
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id443081543?mt=8
Surely you can find something that will work for you, even if it's not ideal.

Why not look at the apps and fine out?
The odds of someone here knowing that are slim to none.

A friend of mine downloaded an app from the internet onto my iPod Touch 4 so I could play pokemon on my iPod, I deleted the app but now iTunes and the App Store won't open, they say that the certificate for this server is invalid. What should I do?

Ad-hoc for ipod touch with internet

Hi, I'm trying to forward the internet to my ipod touch. I believe I've gotten the ad-hoc network itself to work properly, as the ipod claims to be connected, but it cannot use the internet. I've looked at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Internet_Share and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad-hoc_networking but I can't exactly run the given commands on the ipod. =\ I don't really understand iptables and I've never successfully manually set up wireless before (x_x), thought it seems it's just this internet forwarding part that's really killing me.
Can anyone give me a push in the right direction, if not some working examples?

I assume the machine you are forwarding through is an Arch box -- If you had made the subject more Arch centric, you may have had a better response
I've not tried this, but the approach I would take would be:
Start by trying to serve something from the Arch box and see if you can hit it from the ipod. I don't know what you can do on the ipod, but I know it has a web browser. So, if you set up a light weight browser, you could verify the operation of the ad-hoc wireless network.
Then, I would start on the forwarding. Here, I would try to use a laptop instead of an ipod to check out the ip forwarding. If that is not practical, maybe a virtual machine running on the host. This would work with a managed network, but I don't know about an ad-hoc net.
Okay, so maybe this wasn't a push as much as it is a nudge.
Edit: fixed parts of speech

Remote for ipod touch

is there a way to use remote for ipod touch and iphone with only bluetooth?
i'm running 3.1 os for ipod touch and i have itunes 9

If you mean using the remote app for controlling itunes with your touch using only bluetooth, as others have said, that's a no. This might be an ignorant suggestion, but someone who knows more about it can maybe post after me. If you're connecting your macbook to the internet with an ethernet cable rather than a wifi router, can you set up a macbook as a wifi connection spot so that your ipod is connecting directly to the macbook via wifi? I would imagine you could use the remote app then.
I also sort of thought you were asking if there was a way to control your ipod touch using a remote via bluetooth, and that's also a no, but you can use a remote with a dock connector.

Can't install iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch

I am trying to download the iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch from http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/whatsnew.html so I can download apps for my new iPod touch. (Although it is pretty bogus that I should have to pay $10 for an upgrade on a brand new device so that I have the privilege to buy apps). I have iTunes 7.7 already installed.
When I click on the link https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/touchLandingPage , I do not get a download, and iTunes does not open. Nothing happens if I open iTunes before trying this link either.
Instead, I get a brief page which says "One Momemt Please". Connecting to the iTunes Store. Loading... If iTunes doen't open, click the iTunes application in your Doc or Windows Task Bar" , then my browser is redirected to http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/download/?itmsUrl=itmss%3A%2F%2Fphobos.ap ple.com%2FWebObjects%2FMZFinance.woa%2Fwa%2FtouchLandingPage%3Fign-mscache%3D1 which tells me to download iTunes... but I already have iTunes installed.
I installed (then uninstalled, reinstalled) the latest iTunes (7.7.0.43) and the problem persists. iTunes works fine for all other uses.
I have the problem with both Firefox (3.0) and Internet Explorer (6)
How can I download and install The iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch directly from iTunes? I cannot find it when I search for it. It is not listed in the App store.
(P.S. The web support form does not work when I tried to fill out a problem report for "Connection" issues. Although I filled in all form fields, it would not send the report, telling me I did not fill in a field.)

The upgrade now appears directly in iTunes, so I do not need to access it from the web page. I see many others are encountering problems installing the upgrade, so I'll see how it goes...
There is no answer to the initial problem that iTunes install does not configure the browsers to handle the itmss:// protocol.
I still think Apple should not charge for this for a brand new iPod purchased just this week.

Recover internet password from iPod touch

no

Does it coast money to have Internet on the iPod touch?

Does it coast money to have Internet on an iPod touch?

Indirectly, yes it does but it probably will not affect you. The iPod must connect to a WiFi system that, in turn, connects to an "ISP" (Internet Service Point). IF you already have an Internet connection for your computer, the Internet modem/router probably has WiFi capability and the iPod communication piggy-backs onto the link to the ISP. In that case, Internet connectivity for the iPod is no extra cost.
If you do not have Internet connectivity for a computer or anything else, you must obtain it and, in that case, you will incur an extra cost.

Why is no one worried about virus software for ipod touch

Everyone seems to think no virus scan is required for ipod touch.If you surf the web why would no virus be able to attack?

RicardoCC wrote:
virus are made by people, right?
It's hard (not impossible), to make virus for Apple's software, so Apple or antivirus developers, don't really care about fighting them.
Don't forget to rate the answer as helpful or correct
Not exactly... So typically the normal "hacker" is looking for something, like passcodes to banking or other personal information, maybe a keylogger, or something to that effect. That's a lot of why windows is targeted. For one, its the widest audience, for two it is rather unsecure. Apple goes to great length to ensure its software (Mac OS and iOS) is secure. They provide you with warnings and require admistrative approval to do certain things that a malicious software may want to do. So, again if you're actively engaged and don't do stupid things on the internet you'll be fine.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. That is how it works
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.

New software update for iPod touch 4th generation? PLEASE HELP!!

Ok so here is the problem: I have the iPod touch 4th generation with software version 4.3 (I have had my iPod for about 7 months) and recently within the past week or so I have started experiencing multiple crashes with many different various apps and games. Just random games crashing and then I noticed it happening with the Facebook app and even Safari on my iPod! I had to get off of my iPod and come on the computer to type this message out because Safari would crash every single time I tried to type this on my iPod! So at first I figured it was the apps and games' problems, but then as more and more began to crash, like Facebook and Safari, I figured it is the Apple software version 4.3 acting up. So I was wondering, is Apple working on a new software update for iPod touch 4th gen.? Or is this a rare problem? Is there anyone out there having this same problem? Or anyone at all that can PLEASE help me?! MANY THANKS!
- Sam Amos

No one would know what Apple is working on, unless they announce, which they very rarely do.
Have you tried the basics from the manual?
restart.
reset.
restore.
