Internet sharing for Vista - iPod Touch

Having mainly used Mac as my operating system, I have figured out how to simply enable internet sharing through wifi, so that my iPod Touch would have an internet connection, and allow me to browse the web.
On the other hand, I am currently on Vista as of writing and am having trouble enabling internet sharing for my iPod. It is not as simple, and I am lost. Could anyone guide me as to how this could be done?

Just do a simple Google search for "vista internet sharing"

  • Internet Sharing With an iPod Touch??

    I've done a search and couldn't find anything. This might be better suited in a different forum but I'll try it here.
    I've got two laptops. The first is a MacBook (Intel) and the other is a PowerBook (PPC).
    I've been using the MacBook for all my work with my Touch. I do not have wireless at work so I use my MacBook and just share my internet via airport to get my Touch online. It's been working without any problems. For some reason my MacBook crashed earlier today (screen froze except with a message box that said I need to restart my Mac). No problem I shut it down and did some BS for work. I got back on it today and haven't had any problems but now my Touch will not get online via the MacBook. It sees and connects to the MacBook wireless but it doesn't have any connectivity. It gets an IP address assigned, but I can't get anything on it.
    Thinking it was my computer I tried my PowerBook and was able to get online with the PowerBook via the shared wireless network on the Macbook. Also, I can plug the LAN cable into the PowerBook and the Touch will connect through it using the internet sharing.
    I was thinking that it was a difference between the PPC and the Intel chips but the Touch was working on the MacBook a few hours earlier. I am running the same basic system on both computers and for the most part they are running the same stuff.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    After a long time i think someone has found a way to get internet sharing working with the ipod touch.
    found this post by "coolisstillgood" in macforums and it worked perfectly for me.
    +"I've seen a lot of posts and notes about this topic over the internet and non of them could solved my problem completely,they were partially helpful but not entirely helpful. there were tons of complains about this matter and a lot of users seemed unhappy because simply they couldn't share their Internet Connection over airport or wifi with their iPod Touch. After a long and tiring night I finally figured out how to get it right and I decided to share this experience with all the Mac users gladly.+
    +Ok, what I have is a MacBook with OS 10.5.2 installed and my Internet connection is through cable modem and it's a Ethernet Connection and I shared my Internet through Airport with my iPod Touch.+
    +I assumed your Internet Connection is fully established and you can surf the web with your MacBook.+
    +you go to System Preferences and under the Internet & Network, you go to Sharing,Turn On Web Sharing and Internet Sharing,in the Internet Sharing you have to choose to Share your Connection From Ethernet(in case you get your Internet Connection from Ethernet of course) To computer using Airport .+
    +And then on your iPod touch you go to Setting and the Wi-Fi,you should see your computer name there,choose the network and then press the ">" sign in the blue circle,you should see your IP Address which probably is 10.0.2.2 . What is important here is your DNS which probably should be something like this format 10.0.2.1+
    +you go back to your Mac and System Preferences>Network>Airport you should see your Computer's Name in the Network Name field, you go to Advanced>TCP/IP and write down your IPv4 Address, go one step back which is System Preferences>Network and this time you go to Ethernet>Advanced>DNS on the right side,there is the list of your DNS Servers,you add your DNS number form your iPod Touch and your IPv4 from your Airport configuration and that's it.+
    +you should be able to browse internet from your iTouch by now.+
    +And for all the IP stuff,you let DHCP handle it Automatically. I did it and it works fine for me and the speed is pretty good too and there is no need for a wireless router. You can share your Ethernet Internet Connection Easily from Airport to your iTouch.+
    +I hope this post will be useful for ones struggling with this problem.+
    +keep it cool"+
    follow the instructions exactly and good luck!

  • Can you purchase Internet access for newest iPod Touch?

    I bought a touch for a friend for Christmas - he does not have tv/internet/telephone service - he gets internet on his Toshiba laptop through a Verizon aircard thing he plugs into a USB port. I could not figure out a way to get wifi to work on the Touch, or to even get the Bluetooth working so he can have wifi while near the laptop. Is there a way to just purchase internet access to the ipod so he can have access anywhere he goes? Or does anyone know a way to get the bluetooth to work from the Toshiba laptop to the iPod Touch?
    Thank you!

    The iPod will not tether via bluetooth to a computer for internet access. You should be able to turn the laptop w/aircard into a wireless access point (like a router) so the the iPod can connect via wifi to the internet. Just Google "laptop as a wifi hotspot" and you will get many hits.

  • Can i use my blackberry as an internet source for my ipod touch?

    i just purchased the ipod touch and do not have internet at home. all other wifi connections available are locked. i have internet on my blackberry and wondered how i can use that connection.

    Is your Printer is a Wireless Printer or its an Normal USP port Printer ?
    If your printer is an Normal USB Port printer then you need to buy a Print Server ( WPS54G or WPSM54G). So once you configure your Print server you will be able to Print from all your computers Wired / Wirelessly. 

  • Internet connection drops when I use Home Sharing with my iPod Touch

    Hi,
    I have two PCs (Windows 7 and Windows Vista) both with iTunes 10.2.1 and an iPod Touch with iOS 4.3.1.
    When I use iTunes' Home Sharing with my iPod Touch, that is, I stream music, podcasts, etc from either one of my PC computers to my iPod Touch, a few minutes later both laptops, as well as my iPod Touch, lose Internet connectivity. While home sharing continues, Internet connection is lost. I have to unplug my modem and wireless router to get back my Internet connection. The problem, however, recurs again and again.
    Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.
    Dave

    I am having the same problem. My MacBook, iPad, iPhone, and even the PC all lose internet connectivity;but home sharing still continues to function properly on ATV2.
    I'm not too savvy on routers and modems, but could the problem be my router's capacity?

  • Is it possible for a iPod touch to get a virus when downloading free games off the internet? If yes, is there an antivirus program to protect the ipod. and can some of the current apps be saved from the virus damage?

    Is it possible for a iPod touch to get a virus when downloading free games off the internet? If yes, is there an antivirus program to protect the ipod. and can some of the current apps be saved from the virus damage?

    I had one game permanently just stop working, it usually does crash, but that last time it just went bad, I don't know the reason, I tried powering off iPod, relaunching game, but the game never worked again. I think it corrupted its own save file or some of its own data.
    Have you tried another game or app, do those work? If they do, then I guess you know where the problem lies, but if they all stop working, then what about apps, can apps launch?
    Lastly, apps from the app store are checked by Apple, so they are clean.

  • Manual download for purchased ipod touch firmware update?

    I'm in the Army National Guard, and I deployed a couple of months ago. My internet connection is extremely slow, and typically cuts out for at least a few minutes every hour. I purchased a firmware update for my ipod touch, but the update times out every single time I attempt to download it within iTunes.
    Is there any way to get a link to manually download the update? I have a download manager on my computer that can handle the slow link and frequent loss of internet.

    Thanks for the response. I now have a slightly more serious problem, though, which I doubt can be helped, but I figure I may as well ask anyway. Here goes:
    I was looking for a program to extract my music off the ipod to make a backup as you suggest. (Back before I had an iPod touch, I used yamipod, but that doesn't have touch / iPhone support.)
    One that looked promising was called Sharepod, so I downloaded it, and launched it. It told me that I shouldn't run both iTunes and sharepod simultaneously, so I closed iTunes. Then it told me that it didn't detect any iPod, so I should re-open iTunes with the iPod connected, then restart Sharepod.
    When I opened iTunes back up, it told me that it couldn't read the data on the iPod, and that I should do a factory reset to fix the problem. (This of course will erase the data.)
    So now I'm pretty much stuck. I can't get iTunes to read my iPod, and as long as it can't, neither can sharepod. The only way I can get iTunes to see the iPod is to wipe the data, which is what I downloaded sharepod to prevent in the first place. In the meantime, the iPod works just fine, I just can't sync/update it until I wipe it, which I would like to avoid. Do you know of any way I could possibly fix this error without losing my data? I've rebooted both the iPod and the computer, and even re-installed iTunes, but no luck.
    Any help is much appreciated.

  • How can I get internet connectivity with my iPod Touch cabled to my PC?

    Most devices "tether" to a computer (PC or iMac) for internet connection. I cannot find any reference in the user manual on getting internet access from the connected PC to the "tethered" ipod touch. How can I accomplish this?

    Hi,
    The iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS support Internet tethering over a USB cable, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3574.
    The iPod touch can connect over a Wi-Fi network, as mentioned here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2031.
    If your PC has a wireless card, you may be able to create an Ad-Hoc Wi-Fi network that can share the Internet access to the iPod touch.
    You can also get a wireless router, like an Airport base station http://www.apple.com/wifi/.

    Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

  • HT4436 I have an existing Apple ID that I use for my IPOD Touch.  I just received an Iphone 4S to replace my existing Blackberry that broke.  Can I set up a new ID for my work phone, but still use the same laptop that I use for my Ipod Touch?

    I have an existing Apple ID for my Ipod touch being used via my laptop.  I just received an Iphone 4S as a replacement for my Blackberry Curve that broke, that goes through Verizon.  Do I set up a separate Apple ID for the phone, and will it work with the same laptop? Can one computer work with two ID's and two different devices?

    No need to create a New Apple ID... your Existing one will work fine...

    I have an apple id for my ipod touch at home. My company is planning to issuing Ipads. Should I use the same apple id on the ipad for those apps I purchase and would like to use on my work ipad?

    Yes, otherwise you will have to pay for those apps again. If an app is purchased by one Apple ID, he/she will be able to redownload it again for no cost (note: this does apply to songs, but NOT to movies).

    It will be stored on your ipod.

  • How do I force a manual sync for my iPod touch w/iTunes v.11.0.1.2?

    After the upgrade to iTunes 11.0.1.2 I am unable to find a way to force a manual sync for my iPod Touch.  Also, some of the podcasts seem not to go into the proper folders, they wind up in an "unkown album" folder after downloading.  Is there a way to fix this or even manually move them into the proper folders(albums)?

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
