Ipod Touch - where can I access internet - hotspots, or do I need Cloud?
If I want to use the Touch to browse the internet outside of my home (which has wireless broadband), do I need to subscribe to a provider such as Cloud, or would I be able to access the internet in places that are hotspots, such as airports etc?
Sorry - total newbie to all this stuff so please be kind!
You can connect to the internet anywhere there is a wi-fi signal (hotspot) as long as the hotspot is open (i.e. no username and password required), or you have a username and password from a paid-for service provider, such as The Cloud, or BTOpenZone.
In some locations you may find open networks that you can connect through. These are either provided free by places such as McDonalds, pubs, coffeeshops etc to their customers, or in some cases, are private connections that haven't been properly secured by their owners.
Using someone else's wi-fi connection without permission is usually illegal, so best not do that!
The Cloud do a special discounted monthly subscription especially for iPod touch users for £3.99 per month (instead of the usual £6.99) here: http://www.thecloud.co.uk/page/3615

Just bought new Ipod Touch 5g. I found out it can't access Internet in home network. not really cannot access, but very slow to open any web page, App Store failed to access, etc. But, OK with other Wifi (office & starbucks). Others existing iOS devices (Iphone4 & Ipad2) have no problem like this. I'm using Linksys E4200 router at home. anyone has any idea why?
Try:
- Reset 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.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

So if I have a 1st or second gen ipod touch, where can I get old versions of apps that run on it?
An iTunes library you previously downloaded those versions to, or a backup of that library.

- Connect the iPod to a computer or charger and on the iPod go to: Setting>General>Reset and tap Erase all content and settings.The above maakes it lke a new iPod. For how to restore see:

Hi,
Have you tried using your iPod's Search function to find the movie? (The Search function is to the left of the home screen.)

I can now use tabbed browsing in Safari on my iPad, but not on my iPod Touch. Can the iPod Touch access this feature?
At this time it cannot. Perhaps you can provide feedback to Apple on this.

On my ipod touch, i can't seem to get the imessage app.. I have updated my itunes and even restored the ipod to factory settings with the latest update. Maybe the ipod is too old? Is that even a thing? Is there another app I can download to have access to my contacts with imessage?
That comes with iOS 5 (Settings>General>About>Version) and only the 3G abd later iPods can go to iOS 5 or later

HT1727 If you buy something from an Ipod touch how can you get it on your computer?
I bought a song on my ipod touch because It obviously has internet and I thought it wouldn't be a problem. I was able to download the song and listen to it on that ipod touch without any issues, however, I would like to be able to burn it to a cd, listen to it on my computer or otherwise be able to use it besides just on that ipod and I am unable to. Is there any way to do this? I thought there was since I have 2 other computers registered under this Apple ID...
I have even tried using outside software (Pod Revolution) which has worked in the past to back up music but it doesn't work this time because the song does not even show up on the device when I plug it in and open pod Revolution. I do not know why this one particular song is being so difficult, if anyone can help me please let me know.
Also this is an older ipod (3rd gen) that is actually one that was my boyfriends and he gave it to me. I am not able to do the latest update IOS 6 because it is an older ipod, I'm not sure if this would have anything to do with itYou should be able to copy it over to your computer's iTunes by connecting the iPod to it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.
Or, and depending upon what country that you are in, you might be able to redownload it directly on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage -
Found an Ipod touch--how can I locate the owner?
I found an Ipod touch--how can I locate the owner? The Ipod requires a passcode.
You can't. Turn the iPod into your local police department, or the station closest to where you found the iPod. They have resources for identifying and contating the owner, should they wish to take that time.

How can I conntect to a mobile network from my phone to my IPod so I can use the internet?
Itr depends upon the device and your carrier. Contact BB and your carrier support.website. Typically you have to subscribe (pay) to setup the hotspot but that depends upon the carrier.
You can also Google for;

XX is your model BB and YY is your carrier. -
