Is there a way to get iPods to work away from my wi-fi at home?

When we leave the house the kids are no longer connected to our wi-fi.  I thought the iPods would work like my iPhone 4S and would just pick up wherever we are.  They have 4th generation iPods.  Is it possible to get a data plan through ATT to get them to work away from home or do they just not work like phones?  I am assuming that they are still on 3G, but could be wrong.  They like iTunes and YouTube, so those don't work without wi-fi.  Any help would be appreciated.

"I thought the iPods would work like my iPhone 4S and would just pick up wherever we are."
Why would you think this?  It is not a phone.  It has no cellular connection.  it only connects via wi-fi.
"I am assuming that they are still on 3G, "
No ipod has ever been on 3G.  No ipods have ever connected via anything but wi-fi
Sorry

  • I installed Lion 10.7.4.  Went to use Photoshop Cs and got a popup window.  You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop CS because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.    Is there a way of getting this to work or do I have to get the all new!

    Welcome to Apple Communities
    PowerPC applications are unsupported in newer versions. You can upgrade Photoshop or you can install Snow Leopard in a partition.
    1. Open Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities) and select your drive
    2. Go to Partitions tab, press + button, create a new partition and press Apply
    3. Insert the Snow Leopard install DVD and reboot pressing C key
    4. Install it in the new partition
    5. If you want to change boot, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk and select 10.7

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, try this a few times if necessary. If still problem, you may have to just Restore your iPhone to get it working. In the future sync your iPhone with iTunes routinely and when it contains important data, iCloud when set correctly will do this for you continuously.

    Guess you have your answer.  Maybe next time you'll read the User Guide and use the phone as recommended so this doesn't happen again.

    I've been trying to get my iPhone screen to play onto my macbook.

    There are no free ways to do it that I have seen. However, Reflector is reasonably priced. http://www.airsquirrels.com/reflector/

  • Is there a way to get Flash to work in a browser while offline?

    In order to work offline I'm using XAMPP to develop a website which is working great except that I can't see any Flash content. External Flash players have no problem working offline but obviously won't load anything but SWFs and FLVs.
    Is there a way to get Flash to work in a browser while offline?
    Thanks
    -Chaz

    You can open a swf file in a browser offline, either as a standalone file or as part of a web page.  If the file is dependent on loading online content in some way, or needs to interact with a server-side script, then it may not get very far.

  • Is there any way to get 720x576 (ie DV Pal)  from iphoto slideshow?

    I have tried the iphoto forum and have been directed here. Is there any way to get 720x576 (ie DV Pal) for an export from iphoto slideshow? I want to export 200+ photos with random transitions and the ken burns effect. Imovie offers offers automatic ken burns effect via project properties but I can't find a way to add random transitions automaticcally. Is it possible? I want to add the exported file to a movie in Final Cut Studio. Normally I have to resort to using adobe photoshop elements 5 and premiere elements 3 on my bootcamp partition. I would love to do this all in Mac OSX - since leaving Windows, this is the only thing that forces me to use that lousy operating system!
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Not directly. But you can do it with a bit of external help. Create a slideshow project in iPhoto using the "Random" transitions and auto KBE you want. Then export the slideshow as a 640x480 MPEG4/AAC 30 fps full motion MOV file. Drop the file to MPEG Steamclip and select the "Export to DV" File menu option. The select the DV format, PAL standard, and aspect you want. (I would normally select the "Frame Blending" option in the main menu when going from 30 fps to 25 fps.)

  • Is there a way to get ipod media onto itunes????

    My dektop crashed and I lost my itunes library. When I tried plugging my ipod into itunes, it said that an ipod can only be connected to one library at a time. I would've lost all my songs if I had ocntinued. If I delete and reinstall itunes will it work? I just want to plug in my ipod and be able to transfer the songs and mdia from there onto a new library. Is this possible in anyway? Please email me

    1). Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • Is there a way to get ipod songs/library onto new itunes library

    i got a new empty itunes library is there a way to put all my stuff from my ipod to this library????

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • Is there a way to get rid of Music Videos from playing in iPod?

    I have over 51 music videos on my iPad, and I really wish they wouldn't play when I shuffle my music. Is there a way to make them stop shuffling - without getting rid of them?

    By reading the iPad Users Guide there should be two ways. One is to, on your computer, move the Music Videos to the movies part of your library. The other way is to make a play list that excludes the Music Video and only shuffle that playlist. Regarding the latter, the USers Guide says:
    Shuffle the tracks in any playlist, album, or other
    list of songs
    From the Now Playing screen, tap the album art
    to show the song controls onscreen. Tap (this is an icon that looks like a black background with three horizontal black lines) at the
    bottom of the screen, then tap Shuffle at the
    top of the list of songs.
    Whether or not iPad is set to shuffle, if you tap
    Shuffle at the top of a list of songs, iPad plays the
    songs from that list in random order.

  • Is there some way of getting adobe to work without having to download a document first, then adobe will show the pages.

    Hello,
    I am trying to find out what I can do, to get adobe to open up a pdf file so that I can read all pages, without having to download the document first. I get the first page only; then I download and have access to all pages. Then I delete. Seems like such a long process. Is there another way? Do I need to download a different adobe?
    Thanks for your help.

    How are you seeing your document on iCloud from your laptop? Web browser, or OS X Pages open dialog?
    If you have MS Word or .pages formatted files parked on iCloud, the web interface will not permit their download as PDF, and in fact, PDF is an inactive option in that download menu for these word processing files. There is no copy facility available, but duplicate functionality exists from the iWork category within the iCloud web presence.
    If you have Pages v4.2 or later installed on your (assumption: Mac) laptop, launch Pages and in the open file dialog, select iCloud on the dialog toolbar. Now, press and hold the option key as you drag and drop a copy of our document from iCloud to your desktop. The reverse works also.
    See if you can open that document on your laptop now.

  • Is there any way to get music that wasn't from iTunes in/off of the iCloud?

    I backed up everything on my 4th gen iPod touch to the iCloud and am transferring it all over to the 5th gen iPod touch I just got but not all the apps and music that were on the old iPod are switching over.  Is there a way to correct this?  I have a few hundred songs that aren't coming over and they aren't on iTunes.

    Music is not included in the backup because it is assumed to be in your iTunes library.  If you have music on your old iPod that was not purchased from the iTunes store, and is not in your iTunes library, the only way to transfer it would be to purchase and use 3rd party software such as Touch Copy or PhoneView (Mac only) to extract it to your PC.  Once extracted, it can be imported to your iTunes library and synced to your new iPod.
    Otherwise you would have to re-import the music to iTunes from the original source CDs.

  • Is there any way of getting Facetime to work with windows?

    I've just used Facetime for the first time and it worked like a dream. Is there any way Facetime can be used to phone someone with a PC using
    Windows?

    No, FaceTime uses a proprietary communications protocol that is incapatable with Windows.

  • Is there a way to get my bookmarks in Safari on my iPhone into Firefox Home?

    i browse around in Safari on my iPhone, and bookmark things.
    is there a way to export / sync / transfer these bookmarks i made in Safari on my iPhone into Firefox Home on my iPhone?
    or into Firefox on my Mac (because then it would just sync with my iPhone Firefox Home)?

    Hi teethandbones,
    There may be a simpler way to do it, but I know you can set your iPhone/iPad to syncronize bookmarks with Safari on your Mac. You could do that first and then import the bookmarks from Safari into Firefox.
    Just a thought!
