Internet: PC/Mac to Ipod touch/iPhone sync

New Operating system update request: To be able to connect to the internet through my PC or Mac without buying a wireless modem
My computer is in my basement and, most of my friends' are too, I really like playing my apps online in the comfort of my basement because it's steaming hot upstairs (where I can get internet) and I got want to get a wireless modem at this time. If there's going to be an iOS 4.1.2 i really want a Computer (PC/Mac) to iPod touch/iPhone internet sync.

You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. First you have to connect the iPod to the new Mac and via USB and make the Mac the new syncing computer. See:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
Then you can set up wifi syncing.
iOS: Syncing with iTunes

    is there a possibility that there will be wireless syncing available soon or ever?

    It is possible but none of us will know until Apple announce it.

  • My iPod touch is synced to my old Mac and I have a new PC. Now when I plug my iPod into the new computer it will make the connection sound, but will not show up in my iTunes. I do not care to have the content copied over. Any suggestions?

  • I recently updated my iPod touch to sync through iCloud - now can't connect to the internet through wifi, my macbook air is working as we speak

    I recently updated my iPod touch to sync through iCloud - now can't connect to the internet through wifi, my macbook air is working as we speak. ive tried 'forgetting this network" in settings; tried turning off and on again; and pulling my hair out! The last was equally useless and a little painful!

    Try:
    - Resetting the iPOd. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Pwer off and then back on yur router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reet Network Settings

  • Now that I moved my itunes to a new computer why will my iphone and ipod touch not sync?

    I just switched my itunes to my new laptop from my desktop (which no longer works).  Everything seemed to be ok after I updated to the newest version of itunes.  Now I cannot get my iphone (3G) and my ipod touch to sync at all.  In fact when I plugged in my ipod touch it erased everything I had on there.  I know these are older devices but I had no problems with syncing previously so why now?  Even the backups will not work. 

    You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. If you switch iTunes will erase the iPod and replaces the media with what is in the iTunes library of the new computer.
    You should have done this:

    You said "Even the backups will not work.". What happens when you try to restore from backup?

    Hmm.. Thank you for the response.
    Have you tried using the iPod with another user account or computer, to help narrow down whether the problem lies with the computer, account, or the iPod itself?
    Maybe try reformatting it, using the tools provided by Windows. Instructions on how to reformat your iPod can be found in this article.

  • Recently purchased a used IPad 2 but it still has previous owner's data.  I've been told not to sync it to my computer as it will cause problems.  What do I need to do to make it compatible with accounts on my mac and ipod touch?

    You can wipe the iPad's contents completely by going to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. This will remove all of the previous user's apps, data, settings and so on from the iPad and you can set it up as your own.

  • Can I set up an iCloud account without owning a Mac, iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad?

    I would like to know if I can set up an iCloud account without owning a Mac, iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad.  I own a laptop that runs Windows 7 and I would like to be able to access my past purchases for all the computers in my family.

    There is no way to setup iCloud on a PC, it must be setup first on a compatible Mac, iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

    Hello Casey B,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Try re-installing the latest version from this page on top of the current installed version and see if that helps.

    If nothing else, remove the Application from your Mac entirely, and again download the latest version from the link above.

  • HT1386 My Ipod and Ipod touch both sync and update latest CD music added to Itunes, however when I connect my Iphone it wont sync my most recent CD addition to iTunes?

    My Ipod and Ipod touch both sync and update latest CD music added to Itunes, however when I connect my Iphone it wont sync my most recent CD addition to iTunes?

    I have my iTunes settings to prevent my iPod from synching automatically.
    Open iTunes (without the iPod Touch connected) , go to "iTunes"--->"Preferences"--->"Devices", select the box that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from synching automatically", select "OK".
    I would then close iTunes and then reopen it.  Verify that the settings you just changed are intact.
    Log into the iTunes store and update any Apps that you may have purchased. 
    Connect the iPod Touch via USB with iTunes open.  You will see the icon on the left side under "Devices" as normal, however it will not automatically sync.
    Click on the "Device" in iTunes and from there you can manually adjust all the items you want to sync and then select sync when you are ready.
    I sync mine this way because I feel it gives me more control over the syncing process.  Also, I always log into the iTunes store first, check for updates to my Apps and then connect the iPod to manually sync.
    So, to me, I guess that perhaps is a way to "force" the sync but in a controlled manner.
    I hope that helps.

  • IPod Touch will Sync but will not turn on / screen blank - Help!

      couple days ago my iPod Touch (latest version) fell into a cup of water, about 2/3 submerged (the end with the charging/docking port and audio jack did not get wet).  It was there several minutes before I noticed.  I figured it was a goner!  I did try to turn it on before I really realized what had happend (that the cup was not empty!).  Nothing, of course.  I let it dry for a couple days, part of the time in rice as I read online.
    I hooked it up to my computer today and launched iTunes.  The screen was still blank, and I left the room.  I didn't really look to see if iTunes recognized it.  But sure enough, it does!  I was able to download my latest photos, and it updated my Podcasts.  After done Syncing, I ejected and tried again to turn on.  Also tried hard reset.  The screen remains blank, no sign of life except it's obviously not "dead" yet!  Any ideas?  Or, is it ruined for good?

    - See if a reset will either fix the problem or allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore it.
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next see if placing the iPod in  Recovery mode will allow a restore.

  • IPod touch / iPhone: Smart Playlists empty / missing after 3.1.3 Update

    Dear all,
    the following problem is very persistent and it happened to me and a friend of mine (iPod touch / iPhone), in both cases, smart playlists created in iTunes (Mac), latest version, are home to several tracks. These tracks are being transferred to the iPod/iPhone - but the playlist doesn't show up or is shown as empty (both cases happened). The tracks are on the iPod/iPhone if you select them manually.
    Re-Creating the playlists helped, but this is not the solution as the problem pops up with other playlists after having done that (however, the re-created playlists work).
    The iPods/iPhones have been reset, freshly installed etc., music has been taken off completely from them - the problem remains / comes back.
    It seems as if 3.1.3 has a problem with smart playlists and dubious one at that. Annoying at the very same time.
    I'm a bit disappointed about having wasted several hours of my life on this problem, that is not what I expect from Apple. :/
    Any permanent solutions out there?
    Alex.

    "Some sort" of solution.
    So after having dabbled with Apple's attempt for a solution, I seem to have found one that seems(...) to work for me when it comes to audio books:
    - create a new smart playlist
    - filter the current cd "Terry Pratchett (Disc 2))
    - counter is 0
    and(!)
    add:
    maximum of X hours, sorted by NAME... that actually did the trick.
    Of course, you need one more thing: you have to add the track's name to the name of the audio track... (see Doug's apple scripts for that script).
    Honestly... I'm a bit disappointed that I had to become smarter than Apple. Don't you want to give me a job, guys?

  • I no longer have access to the computer to which my iPod touch is synced.  Can I de-sync it without accessing said computer and set up a sync with my new computer without losing all my purchases?

    You can transfer Itunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    You can transfer other stuff with the info provided in this previous discussion:
    Best iPod to PC
    You can also redownload apps at no additional cost:

    Once you get the stuff in the iTunes library of you new computer let iTunes erase your iPod and replace its contents with what is now in your iTunes library.

  • I am planning a long vacation and taking my laptop but it is my home computer that my new ipad and ipod touch are synced too. I know i can backup to the cloud over wifi but how can i do things like delete photo albums

    I am planning a long vacation and taking my laptop but it is my home computer that my new ipad and ipod touch are synced too. I know i can backup to the cloud over wifi but how can i do things like delete photo albums instead of having to manually delete pictures one by one on the Ipad. Is there any way also to add my pictures to the ipad other than through email. i am assuming that i can't just install itunes on the laptop and sync to that. I have been told that i always have to sync to my original synced home computer for that.
