IPod Touch-can you deactivate Internet?

Good morning all you experts!
Quick question: Is there a way to somehow de-activate Internet access on an iPod Touch? My nephew wants one but my sil doesn't want him accessing wi-fi all over the place. Can you use the Touch without the Internet? Remove it? Lock it? Any and all answers will be greatly appreciated!!
TIA

There are parental control settings on the iPod touch.
If you go into Settings > General > Restrictions you can turn off :-
Songs with Explicit lyrics from being played (if they are bought from iTunes)
Safari - no internet access
YouTube - no YouTube access
iTunes - Stop purchases
Installing Apps - prevents the installation of applications

HT4205 cant find airplay on my 2nd gen ipod touch can you help ?

cant find airplay on my 2nd gen ipod touch can you help ?

What are you trying to AirPlay to? The AirPlay icon only appears if you have an AirPlay receiver ready to accept the media from the iPod.
Also, see the following. The 2G not hot have iOS 4.3 or higher.
From the Videos, iPod, Photos, Music, and YouTube apps on iOS devices, stream videos, music, and photos to an Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation), or stream music to an AirPort Express or compatible third-party device.
With iOS 4.3 and later, you can also stream video and audio from a website or a third-party app installed on your iOS device if the developer for the app or website has added AirPlay functionality.

IPod Touch can't play Internet videos

I was using my iPod touch fine last night to watch videos on the Internet. Then suddenly it kept coming up with a big page of confusing writing which looked a bit like computer code whenever I tried to load a video. On the BBC's iplayer the video does not load at all. However I can watch YouTube videos an there is no problems with them. This only happens on Safari. I have tried other web browsers from the app store and they are fine.
I have cleared cookies, history, cache in safari settings, restarted, checked for updates, recharged it. The only thing left is to try a restore but I have a lot of FAA on my iPod so dont want to do this yet.
Has anyone else had the same problem or know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

How would I know how much credit to give you?
Sometimes the most advanced users overlook a setting or two.
This same advice has helped many posters and may help some of the others that have been involved with this very post.
If you assume that everyone has tried everything, then there would be very few answers provided on the forum.

If you've purchased a certain colored IPod touch, can you switch the colors?

I've purchased a black IPod touch 4th generation and was wondering if you could change the screen color to white?

You can change the colour to white, you will, however, need knowledge of replacing a screen. When screens are cracked, they are replaced with another screen, one of the exact colour. You need to replace it with a white one. You can buy the digitiser on ebay, they are cheap, then just look up a tutorial on changing iPod Touch 4th Gen screens.

Wondering if one has not activated "find my device" on their ipod touch, can you still locate with the serial number?

Wondering if one can locate an ipod touch if the "find my device" was not activated, all we have is the serial number?

No.

Having problems with my new iPod touch can you help me a first time user?

I cannot locate my photos in the iTunes library, I have no problem with the Music entry, is there something I have to do to create a library entry?
Also I do not get the photo folders only the individual photos in one large file (3500+) good quality but not good for specific look up, again is there anything I need to do to have folder organization?
I'd appreciate any help that I can get, and would thank any particant in advance

Hi Kappy. I have located the photo files from the sync to my ipod, by the way I am a Windows XP user, and what is showing is a file called 'ipod Photo Cache' which contains folders which have the photo conversions of what is in my 'My Pictures' folder, this cache folder follows at the end of my photo library content.
The cache folder files have an extension of .thumb these are conversions for the ipod and appear to change when I delete or modify any photo in my library and to further complicate things these photos (.JPG format) have an intermediate conversion to a (.cpt format)which are contained within my photo library folders. None of this bothers me since I have my photos on the ipod which is of great value to me.
Thanks for your efforts on my behalf, I will now let this rest and proceed to other new challenges in the ipod world.

Can I use my Ipod touch to surf the internet on my HDTV?

The quality is questionable, and text when viewed at a short distance does become un-readable, although, viewed from a distance, the touch outputs the PERFECT browsing experience in rich colour, and text with anti-alias.
Also, it is to e noted that the old composite and component cables are still being sold on the online Apple store, alongside the new and improved one which support the ipod Touch. The old cable sets DO NOT support the iPod Touch even though the site may say they do. I reported this to Apple Onine and they changed the old cable set compatibility pictures to not feature the ipod touch anymore.
On the subject of accessories for the toouch, you may also be inclined to know that I have confirmation from Apple that the current 'camera conector/adapter' they are selling on the Apple Online Store, DOES support transfer of photos from your camera to the iPod Touch. And for £20, its a spiffy gadget to have in your pocket.
Thats All. Hope this helps your decision to invest.

Can I restore my new ipod touch without itunes having internet connection? or Can I restore the ipod with the internet and no itunes?

Currently in the dessert and have access to a computer that has internet capability, but can not get itunes. I also have my computer from home, but I can not get internet connection to it for various reasons. My computer from home has itunes and all my music. What can I do to set up this new Ipod touch?

You need an internet connection using iTunes to restore the iPod.

Can you deactivate a stolen ipod?

Can you deactivate a stolen iPod with a serial number so it can no longer be used?

If you used 'Find my iPhone' then you can log into the app on an iOS device or access it from icloud.com on a computer. The application will let you wipe and lock an iPod Touch remotely.
Other than that there's no way Apple can 'deactivate' a device.
Regards,

Is there anyway I can use my iPod Touch serial number or Apple ID to trace and find back my iPod Touch? Cause I lost it recently(as you know iPod Touch can only go online if there is WiFi). is there any other ways too, apart from contacting the police?

No.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
iCloud: Find My iPhone
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

Can you deactivate the phone feature and still use an iphone?

Can you deactivate the phone feature and use an iphone as an ipod touch and still sync with iTunes?? I would like multiple answers so I can compare.

You can remove the SIM card to prevent any cell phone services and use the iPhone as an iPod Touch.
You can cancel your service with AT&T or use the SIM card with another phone, or get a new phone with AT&T using the SIM card that shipped with the new phone to activate phone and use the iPhone as an iPod Touch.
In order to install a firmware update on a no longer activated iPhone, or restore a no longer activated iPhone with iTunes if wanted or needed, the no longer activated SIM card must be inserted in the iPhone to complete the process - the SIM card that was used with the iPhone when it was activated.

My iPod touch can not go to YouTube and safari

My iPod touch can not go to YouTube and safari that I bought from Target at Rosemead on 2009.
What should I do now? How to fix my iPod touch?

If you are saying that you can't connect to the internet then:
Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- 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.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
