IPod Touch and MacBook

I either read somewhere or was told by someone that my iPod Touch would not charge if my MacBook was closed. Well the other night my iPod was almost dead (and so was I waiting for the blooming update) so I just left the iPod connected and shut my MacBook. Note that I didn't shut down, I never do - I just go back to the desktop and close the Laptop (my bad!!!). Anyways I got up the next morning and the iPod was fully charged. No need to respond to this I just thought it was interesting as now with Applications the Touch battery drains like water and I was thinking of getting a charger that plugs in - well no need to now which is great.

Ahhhh I see - well that makes sense as I installed Leopard after I got my Touch - thank goodness for that!!!

  • WRT400N connection issues with iPod Touch and MacBook

    I'm a newbie, so please bear with me.
    I recently upgraded to the WRT400N from a Linksys BEFW11S4. 
    Since the change, the connection to iPod Touches and MacBooks at the house have been shaky at best.  The connection frequently drops out completely on the iPod Touch even if it's right next to the router.
    I've tried resetting the router, changing settings on the iTouch and MacBooks, but the problem persists. I don't want to mess with the router settings as I'm not experienced in that area.
    Can anyone please help me?
    Thank you.

    You can try the below mentioned settings.
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1365 and click Save Settings...
    Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
    Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
    Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
    This should fix the issue for you.

  • Both Ipod Touch and Macbook Pro Stolen, how do I get the photos in my photostream back at least?

    My house was burglarized yesterday and I lost my Macbook Pro and my 3rd gen iPod touch with many photos and videos on it. I did have the photostream turned on but the computer that it was linked to was stolen. I want to get these photos back if possible but since iCloud doesn't seem to act like an actual cloud service I can't seem to find a way to do that.
    Can I set it up on another computer and get the last 100 photos I took without the IOS device?

    Photo stream still stores you photos from the last 30 days (up to a max of 1,000), so all you need to do is connect to icloud with some device/computer, turn on photo stream and voila.

  • FaceTime Failed: Calls between iPod Touch and Macbook Pro

    when i try to place a call to someone who has FaceTime on an iPod Touch, she says she doesn't receive any calls and i get eventually get a "FaceTime failed" after a few rings. if the other party calls me (i'm using MacBook Pro with OSX Lion 10.7.1) and i answer, at first, it will say "Connecting..." then it will then show a "FaceTime failed". We both powered off our devices to no avail. Any ideas?

    Somehow, it just fixed itself.

  • Ipod Touch and Macbook Pro Bluetooth problems (ISO4 related)

    Hi all,
    Before the update I wasn't having any problems, but now when I try to connect with bluetooth I can pair, but it won't connect. It says I don't "have the necessary services" for bluetooth. Any ideas?

    I bought a Macbook Pro and ipod touch 3 weeks ago. I am shocked and disappointed to learn that i'm not able to connect these devices via bluetooth. Searching through forums and discussion pages I see that this is by design. I fail to understand why.
    On more occasions than I care to comment I have defended Apple products against sceptical attacks that dismiss the company's innovation as pure hype and suggest the proliferation of its 'locked' and 'exclusive' features signal the rise of the 'new dark side'. I have been left with little argument to continue this defence.
    I regret that I will seriously reconsider my next purchase of an Apple product.

  • I have the iCloud in my iPod touch and macbook pro but how come the music i purchased from iTunes doesn't appear in my other device?

    i upgraded my macbook pro with the new Mac OS Lion and downloaded the IOS 5 with the icloud, then did the same with my ipod touch.  So when I purchased a song from itunes using my ipod touch, how come it didn't appear in my laptop?

    Did you restore the iPod using this iTunes library/computer?
    Make sure that yo have the right boxes checked to sync the media
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    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 all music and resync
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Facetime ipod touch and macbook pro

    I am able to call my daughter's ipod touch using my mac book pro and the beta version of facetime, but whenever I try and use the ipod touch to call me it says that I am not available.
    I have facetime running on the mac
    Any one else have this problem or any solutions?

    Hi,
    This is working for me.
    Check the firewall settings on your Mac. The FaceTime application must be able to receive incoming connections for it to accept a call.
    (A) Go to Apple Menu->System Preferences->Security->Firewall->Advanced
    You may need to hit the lock and enter your password to get access to the Advanced option.
    (B) Make sure that "block all incoming connections" is NOT ticked.
    (C) In the application list, make sure FaceTime has "Allow incoming connections"
    If this does not work, you may have a general network settings issue and incoming calls are not coming to your Mac. This is especially possible in a corporate network. Test with all firewalls disabled or on a different network.
    Best Regards.

  • How come my imsg is not syncing properly between iPod touch and Macbook pro?

    My imsgs are recieved on my macbook and they used to be simultaneously sent to my ipod too. But now they don't show up as imsg notifications on my ipod, only macbook. When I click in the conversation on my ipod I see the new messages, but I only get a notification on my macbook. How do I fix this so that a notification pops up on both devices?

    Sign out of iMessage on both devices, then sign back in.

  • I have a 3rd gen Ipod touch and when i connect it to my Macbook pro to sync it with itunes, it doesn't show up on iTunes. When I connect my iPhone 6 to my computer it syncs, backs up, ect. How do I connect this older iPod to my iTunes?

    Hi ChristianHelpplz,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It seems like your iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes on your Mac, but your iPhone 6 is working normally.
    I recommend starting with these steps to troubleshoot your iPod touch and connection with your Mac:
    Check your USB connections
    Unplug other USB devices from your Mac and try again.
    Try a different USB port.
    Try a different USB cable.
    Restart your device
    Restart your iOS device or reset your iPod.
    Restart your Mac
    Turn your Mac off and back on.
    Update your software
    Check for software updates on your Mac.
    Check for an iTunes update.
    Check your security software
    If you have security software installed, learn how to resolve issues between iTunes and your security software.
    From:
    If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
    If you've tried these steps and your iPod touch is still not recognized, try placing it into Recovery Mode next:
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Sincerely,
    Jeremy

  • When syncing iPod touch to MacBook, I have selected to sync only events newer than 360 days. Yet I get message that sync will change 8000 events on "this computer"  most of which are years old and many are recurring events.  I'm afraid to proceed

    When syncing iPod touch to MacBook, I have selected to sync only events newer than 360 days. Yet I get message that sync will change 8000 events on "this computer"  most of which are years old and many are recurring events.  I'm afraid to proceed with sync. 

    Having the same problem here. As a first time mac user, Apple has certainly made a bad first impression.
    For me, the issue seems to occur when transferring files between computers that are connected to the same access point (when transferring files from wired computers on the network there is no issue). My vista laptop and every laptop I have tried has worked perfectly fine with this access point so I am 100% convinced it is the mac. Basically when I copy the files, after about 100mb, I am unable to access anything on the local network or internet until I restart Airport. The weird thing is that even though I am unable to access anything, the airport utility says it is connected. I might also note that the wireless signal strength is full.
    If I can't get this figured out in a few days, this computer is going back to the store where it came from and I will officially label myself anti-mac. This type of issue is just unacceptable for something so main stream.

  • I'm running iTunes 10.5 on my Macbook Pro and software 4.1 on my 2g iPod touch and having problems getting photo's to sync. Same error iPod can't be synced req'd file can't be found. Tried deleting the photo cache, restoring the iPod etc but to no avail.

    I'm running iTunes 10.5 on my Macbook Pro and software 4.1 on my 2g iPod touch and having problems getting photo's to sync. Same error, "iPod can't be synced req'd file can't be found". Tried deleting the photo cache, restoring the iPod etc but to no avail.

    Try here:
    iTunes: Unable to sync photos
    Usually deleting the iPod Photo Cache Folder works. Note that if you sync via the folder method, make sure you dlete all the ifolders since :
    The iPod Photo Cache stores the photos that are optimized for display on your iPod, iPad, or iPhone. The location of this folder depends on the syncing options you select. In iTunes, if you change the selection in the “Sync Photos From” pop-up menu, a new iPod Photo Cache folder will be created (and the previous folder will remain).

  • Streaming music, movies using airplay and ipod touch on Macbook

    I am not sure if this is possible but let me explain what I have with me.
    I own an ipod touch 2nd gen, MacBook and airport express base station. Now ipod touch has iOS 4.2.1.
    As title says, is it possible to stream music/movies from my ipod touch to macbook(instead of Apple tv). is it possible to use my macbook as an airplay device ? I know macbook doesn't comes with iOS, but I assume it is a superset of iOS.

    No....
    You can only use AirPlay at this time to stream to:
    1. Apple TV
    2. Airport Express
    3. Other compatible powered speakers
    AirPlay
