Is WiFi necessary for locating an iPod Touch using MobileMe?
Just wondering if it also works without a WiFi connection?
okay that makes sense to me.
now there is still the question left if the ipod really has to be connected to the wifi network or if it is already enough when it is in the range of the network.
this would be really helpful because if not you can only find your ipod if the thief is stupid enough to connect to a wifi network without deleting the MobileMe-account in the settings

I bought a new ipod touch today and it connects to my wifi automatically... But I forgot my wifi password for my new iPod touch and I don't know how to find it in my old iPod?
You can usually find the wi-fi password on your router itself if you know the router's ID and password (not the wi-fi password). You can log into your router by putting its address (usually 192.168.1.1) into your browser's address window.

HT5622 How do i make a account for my daughters ipod touch using my email address?
Tried to make account for daughters ipod touch using my email and it want let me because my account uses it. So how do i set her's up?
One one account per email address
I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in an age of at least 13 years
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases. -
Can the Find My iPhone app use a serial number to locate lost iPod Touch 4g
I lost my iPod Touch 4g and want to find with the Find my iPhone app. I'm using my brother's iPhone 4s to locate it. Can I use a serial number to locate. I lost it in school (in the Administrations office) so I know it won't be stolen. I had them search the whole building and found nothing. My school has Wi-Fi. I got the serial number from iTunes back up.
The find my iDevice works through iCloud. What you needed to have done before it went missing was setup an iCloud account on the device, then enable the find my device slider setting to "ON" under that account's settings.
If you did not do that, it is not trackable.
There is no way to track it by serial number.
Also, in order to be trackable it has to be powered on and connected to a data connection. A wifi-only device like an iPod Touch powers off the wifi radio when running on the battery, so if it has gone into sleep mode, it would not be trackable until or unless woken up by someone so it could re-acquire a data connection with a wifi network. -
TS4006 how do i locate my ipod touch, i am already sign in to i cloud
how do i locate my ipod touch that i have missing. Where do i go so i can locate the app to find the ipod
If you enabled Find My iPod on it before it was lost, you can go to icloud.com on your computer and try to track it as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442. If you didn't, there is no way to track it. You'll have to just physically look for it.

I have an iTunes account for my personal iPod Touch - have had for several years. When my work provided me with an iPhone and now and iPad 2, they all fall under my personal iTunes account. Is it possible for me to create a separate account for my work devices and apps, while leaving my personal account intact? I use both my compter at home and at work to sync occasionally.
A much simpler solution would be to go into Settings > Store and turn off Automatic Downloads

Apple Unveils All-New iTunes U App for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch
A colleague just told me about this announcement from Apple -
Apple Unveils All-New iTunes U App for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch -
http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2012/01/19Apple-Unveils-All-New-iTunes-U-App-for -iPad-iPhone-iPod-touch.html
Do any fellow iTunes U administrators know anything about this? How is existing content presented in the new app? Would we need to change anything? How do we access / make available the new features?
The new features sound fantastic but it would have been nice to have some warning. I appreciate that Apple has to keep specific details about developments confidential but it's slightly disconcerting that iTunes U administrators were not forewarned about this new development and that there has been no mention of it on this forum. Also - and at the risk of sounding like a broken record - it really would be helpful for iTunes U administrators to have a private forum (perhaps an add-on to Public Site Manager) where we could discuss issues and share ideas and best practice etc.Greetings Tom;
I watched the Apple's Keynote presentation and I'm amazed! I'm really excited about the possibilities this opens up for educators. I, like you am still processing all of the information and sorting out the possibilities.
Did you get the email about the Webcast on Wednesday the 25th at 10:00 AM PT that's going to cover the new iTunes U Corse Manager and how to publish through iTunes U Site Manager? Hopefully this is available to you in the UK. We'll keep in touch. All the best...

I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?
You do not merge libraries.
iDevices sync to one and only one computer.
If you want a single library, you manually move the content from one library to another... all content will still be associated with the Apple ID it was acquired with. -
I have the 1st generation ipod touch looking to trade for the new ipod touch or someone to give me money for the new ipod touch

The latest iTunes software wiped out my apps for my 2G iPod Touch by overwriting newer releases of the apps which are not compatible with iOS 4.2.1. I tried to restore the iPod to an earlier version without success. Is there any way to download older versions of my apps which are compatible with my older iPod?
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

I have an ipod touch 2nd generation. I am thinking of upgrading so should I go for the latest ipod touch or for the ipad mini?
It all depends upon your uses and preferences. The iPod had a bigger screen and is physically bigger and has an option cellular radio.
