Internet sharing from MBP to iPod Touch?

I have a MacBook Pro connected to the Internet through my company's ethernet network. Since there is no WiFi connection available here, I am attempting to use "Internet sharing" between my ethernet / Internet connection on the MBP to my iPod Touch. There is no proxy server or special settings I have on my MBP to access the Internet through the ethernet connection so I thought it would be as simply as turning the "Internet Sharing" on, creating an "ad-hoc" wireless network, and connecting to it with my iPod Touch.
I can see and connect to the wireless connection that my MBP has created for Internet Sharing, but I can't access any Internet content from the iPod Touch. I changed the settings on the iPod Touch WiFi connection from DHCP assigned, static IP, and I've even tried using my MBP's wireless IP as well as ethernet IP addresses as the router on the iPod Touch with no luck. I also tried setting the subnet mask on the iPod Touch to 255.255.0.0 and using the MBP's ethernet gateway IP address as the router IP on the iPod Touch (still no luck).
Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

If new events added to your Mac do not appear on your calendar on icloud.com when you check from your computer, make sure you are adding the events to calendars that belong to your "iCloud" account and not an "On My Mac" or another non-iCloud account. You can check by clicking Calendars on the top left of the Calendars application.
If you are and they still don't appear on icloud.com, add any missing events from your Mac calendar to your calendar on icloud.com, then go to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Calendars, choose Delete from Mac when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), restart your Mac, then go back and check Calendars again. Then add a new event on your Mac calendar and see if it appears on icloud.com and your iPod now.

My Airport Extreme basestation used to work but upon returning from holdidays it no longer allows me to connect wirelessly through it to the internet on my iPhone, iPads, ipod touches and my apple tv2 cannot access the network either. Wired still works

When I returned from holidays I could not access the internet wirelessly through my Airport Extreme (5th gen) from my iPhone, iPod touches, ipads and my AppleTV 2 no longer can access the internet or the network either. I can get access to the internet on my iMac when wired directly into an ethernet port on the Airport Extreme. I have tried resetting my AirPort and created new networks but still doesn't want to co-operate. If I get wireless internet it is very, very slow and incosistent.
Any suggestions?
Rick

I see now that long questions are not going to be read and answered. Understandable. Since writing this I got help on one aspect of question and now have Airport Extreme visible through Airport Utility and it seems to work. However the wireless printer still does print. On the printer's screen, it recognizes my wireless network and connects. When I try to print from the MacBook, the usual printer icon comes up, but with Printer is Offline. Printer is Not Connected. So far, nothing in Apple or Brother help has given me answer to this problem. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Internet Sharing from Macbook Pro to iPad???

Trying to get my wife's iPad to connect to the internet in a hotel that has wired high speed internet but no wifi.
My MacBook Pro connects just fine. So I turned on Internet Sharing for both Bluetooth and wifi (with WEP password for wifi).
The iPad connects to the Mac by wifi but says it has no internet connection.
With Bluetooth, it pairs OK. The Mac sets it up as serial port sharing (no other choice offered, but within that there is a choice of modem or RS232 protocol). But when I try to connect it connects momentarily then disconnects right away.
Any suggestions on how to let the iPad get at the internet in this situation?

I am still not succeeding.
I just upgraded to a new Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion. Testing at home, where there are no issues around hotel ISP limitations and I feel pretty safe originating an open wifi network for a few minutes.
Set up Internet Sharing from Ethernet to Wifi. Used the Create Network option for wifi in the menu bar to set up an open unprotected wifi network whose name is the name of my Mac. I can choose any wifi channel from 1 to 11; it makes no difference.
I can see that network from my wife's iPad, and can connect to it no problem. But as in all similar tests since Snow Leopard came out, Safari in the iPad can't open any web sites; it says it is not connected to the internet. I can also connect to the MBP wifi from my iPhone, but if I select it, the 3G symbol still shows at the top of the screen because the phone cannot find an internet connection over that wifi.
Clearly some other people are managing to do what I cannot. Quite possibly some piece of third party software on my Mac is interfering. Little Snitch, for example, though it is currently turned off.

How to setup Internet Sharing from new MacBook Pro to iMac G4?

Hey everyone,
I have a new 2011 MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard (10.6.7) and an iMac G4 running Panther (10.3.9).
The iMac doesn't have an AirPort card and the easiest way to get internet on it seems to be Internet Sharing.
I want to setup Internet Sharing from the MBP's Airport via ethernet to the iMac's ethernet, but am having trouble configuring the IP addresses etc to get the iMac to comply.
Your help and advice is much appreciated

Can u Listen to FM stations from the new ipod touch 5??

Can u Listen to FM stations from the new ipod touch 5 without internet??

Very well, indeed it's true according to information found on google search. The hardware capability for FM radio does exists in some models—the current iPod touch and iPhone 3GS have FM transmitters, and the 2nd-gen iPod touch also has a chip that's capable of receiving FM signals, though it uses it for Nike+ stuff (so if there is a radio app, maybe it'll just be for current-gen models). The third-generation, 32GB and 64GB iPod touch models have a Broadcom chip that supports FM transmitting, though no talk has emerged of implementing that technique.

For now, the only way to stream music offline(without the use of the Internet) is available on the rhapsody application. The version 2.0 of the Rhapsody application latest update, lets subscribers download their favorite Rhapsody playlists to their iPhone, iPod touch or iPad so they can listen anytime -- even when they're not connected to the Internet. However the Rhapsody music service t needs a $10 a month subscription in order to enjoy it's feature, it also has a free trial before you make any subscription payments.
Good luck

I have an older Ipod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new Ipod Touch and cannot be updated. Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?

I have an older iPod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new iPod Touch and Itunes cannot be updated. Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one? It is my understanding that the music cannot be saved onto my new iTunes, b/c I did not have iCloud. I have over 2,000 songs I just cannot part with. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help some how!! THANKS!

I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

Powerline adapters use your home powerlines (mains a/c) to connect your devices via ethernet to your modem, they're easy to set up and the they TOTALLY fixed my ATV problem, the problem seems to be with the wireless. I've been trawling through apple discussions, and did found a workaround to my problem https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4222883?start=0&tstart=0
but its just a workaround :/

Problem in Internet Sharing from Ethernet to wifi

Whenever i go to Preferences > Sharing > Click Internet Sharing > From Ethernet > to wifi and hit start. It actually creates my wifi access point but the problem is that i lose my internet connection from both, my mac from which the connection is being shared and my cellphone which is connected to it. I can not identify what is the problem, but i have tried it many times with or without the WPA2 personal key. Even after stopping the internet sharing, i have to plug out and then in my ethernet cable in order to connect to internet.
This problem was also on OS X mavericks with me last year, but it resolved automatically, i don't know how. But since when i have upgraded to yosemite, i can't make my hotspot connection working . Suggest any quick and effective way please.

Same problem over here...
Additionally: if I unplug Gigabit-Ethernet-Adapter and plug it in again while Internet Sharing is still activated, the internet via ethernet works, but breaks down again about a minute later...

It depends upon how the other machines are connecting to your MBA:
If the the other machines are also using wi-fi, they can connect directly to the wireless access point (router) without going through your MBA
If the other machines are connecting to the MBA using ethernet you can share your wi-fi connection to them
