  • Find my iPhone - iPod Touch

    I know it's called Find my iPhone in Mobile Me but I tried with my iPod Touch and it appeared in San Francisco. Interesting as we are both located in northern Japan. Guess this doesn't work with Wifi then?

    Find my iPhone does work on the iPod touch without GPS but to a much lesser degree of accuracy. It works on the known location of the WiFi hotspot you are connected to as long as it is stored in Skyhook Wireless's database.
    You can add hotspot locations to its database here:

  • Mobileme find my iphone/itouch

    Hey everyone, I am new to this forums, but anyways, here is my question: I lost/had my itouch 4 stolen ,on Feb.9 '11. I MAY have lost it a school(can't find it at home), I've already asked ALL my teachers ,and checked lost and found there - a few times ,and it STILL hasn't turned up - yet. Plus, I've contacted the apple store to see if they could help me. But, they say they can't ; they don't have have a way to track it- without find my iphone/itouch - OF COURSE not - they gave me suggestions instead ;I asked about if my free limited warranty qualify me to get a new one (I may have dropped it ,and it may have had minor physical defects on it; but don't remember); OF COURSE, they say I don't qualify (they said it doesn't have any physical defects on it; I tried to tell them I don't know). Any way, I was wondering if I set up my mobileme find my iphone/itouch on my computer /or someone else's idevice could I track /locate my itouch 4 via someone else's idevice (or even my computer by itself)- (I now have it installed on my itunes account,but not before I lost/had my itouch 4 stolen (of course I didn't KNOW this was going to happen!!!!), can ANYONE HELP ME?!

    You have to set up Find My iPhone on MobileMe BEFORE it is lost, at this point there is no way to do so unless you could get access to your Touch and turn Find My iPhone on.
    Doesn't matter what shape your Touch was in, a warranty is NOT insurance and does not cover loss or theft. If you bought a new car and failed to get insurance do you really think Ford will give you a new car under your warranty?
    Hope you reported it to the police, and good luck with getting it back. If it was purchase with a parent's credit card it is possible it was covered under an CC insurance plan, also have them check their homeowner's insurance.

  • Problems with Find My iPhone/iPod

    It doesn't seem to able to locate the exact location of my iPod Touch. I have connected and disconnected wi-fi on my iPod Touch a few times to see if that helps. But it doesn't. MobileMe seems to say my iPod Touch is 10 blocks away from where I currently am when my iPod Touch is with me. This isn't just with the Find My iPhone/iPod tool though. The same goes with Google Earth app for the iPod Touch. They both tell me my iPod is 10 blocks away from where it currently stands. Does this problem only happen on some countries? I'm currently in New Zealand if that helps.

    I really didn't think about it that way. Yeah bits of it is true. But if wi-fi tracking isn't that accurate, shouldn't the location change each time it is reset? Because I have tried resetting and it always gives me the same address that it did before I reset the wi-fi connection on my iPod.
    There is one other thing that I forgot to mention. It showed me my exact location when I connected wi-fi internet through my cousin's internet connection a block away from where I lived.

  • How do I get content from my old iPod Touch to my new iPhone 5?  My iPod Touch is too old to use iCloud

    How do I get content from my old iPod Touch to my new iPhone 5?  My iPod Touch is too old to use iCloud. I have activated the phone but am stick at the point of the set-up where my 3 choices are:
    1. Set up as new phone
    2.  Restore from icloud Backup
    3.  Restore from iTunes Backup
    thanks!

    If your iPod touch music is in your iTunes library, you just need to sync the new iPod nano with iTunes, the songs will be transfer to your new iPod. If not, you can follow this guide to transfer the songs from iPod touch to iTunes first, and then re-sync them to your new iPod. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • Deleting music from my iPhone/iPod Touch

    How can I delete music from my iPhone/iPod Touch on iTunes? My original computer broke and I connect my devices to my laptop but I cannot delete to make room even when I activate my account to the laptop. It tells me non of my music is connected to the laptop and basically if I want room, I gotta restore my device but I don't want to lose all the stuff I have on it. Is there another way to delete music from the devices itself? I can delete podcast but not music...that's kind of dumb.

    you can't.  The iPhone will only synch with ONE iTunes library at a time.

  • HT201301 How do I copy FOLDERS to or from my iPad/iPhone/iPod touch using iTunes File Sharing?

    How do I copy FOLDERS to or from my iPad/iPhone/iPod touch using iTunes File Sharing?
    I know how to copy files to or from using iTunes file sharing but it doesnt seem to allow copying of folders

    From your PC or Mac, you can copy a folder (and it's contents) into the DropBox folder. It will then sync ans will be available in your DropBox app on the iPad.
    GoodReader includes built in connectivity to DropBox, will pick up the contents and then allow you to easily copy files to other folders within it, as well as open files in other apps on your iPad.

  • Transferring iPhone/iPod touch backup data from PC to a Mac

    Hello everyone! Is it possible for me to transfer my iPhone & iPod touch backup data from my PC (Windows 7) to a Macbook Pro? Because I'm planning to switch to Mac soon. I've tried transferring my backup data from PC to PC and it worked (Windows XP2 to Windows 7). I was able to sync my previous data to my iDevices when I plugged them into my new PC. If it is possible, can anybody please tell me how?
    Thanks a lot.
    STEPHEN, 23, PHILIPPINES/DUBAI, UAE

    ... I fear that if I connect my iPhone to it all my iPhone information, including apps will be deleted.
    You are correct. Transfer your iTunes library, which includes your app and music purchases from the PC directly to your new MacBook Pro. Your photos, contacts, and other information can be transferred also if you use Migration Assistant.
    This explains how to use Migration Assistant: OS X Lion: About Windows Migration Assistant
    After you sync the iPhone to the PC for the last time, "deauthorize" the PC for music purchases.
    When you sync the iPhone to the MacBook for the first time, it will tell you that it is already synced to another computer, and give you the option to erase and sync it to the MacBook.

  • We have several iphones, ipod touches, ipad and mac's if we all install icloud under the same apple account will they all sync together...we don't want that to happen!!

    We have several iphones, ipod touches, ipad and mac's if we all install icloud under the same apple account will they all sync together...we don't want that to happen!!

    If any of you are like me, I had one single AppleID under MobileMe.  Under my AppleID I had two additional Email addresses, one for my wife and one for her Mother.  Each used their individual email accounts on their login on the home Mac and on their individual Iphones.
    In order for them to not lose their email acounts when mobileMe goes away and/or you move your appleID acount from MobileMe to iCloud, you simply need to beaware of the folowing.  Have each person with an email address under your AppleID MobileMe go to www.me.com; enter their email account and password in the corresponding fields.  However, don't press the login button. Instead press the sentence under the login fields that says something to the effect of "do you want to move/migrate to iCloud.  Follow the prompts from there.
    In essence what Apple has done--albeit not communicated anywhere--is that they automatically created AppleIDs for each of those additonal email addresses you have/had under MobileMe.  Therefore, use that email and password after moving from MobileMe to iCloud and your good to go.

  • G729 VM wav on iPhone/iPod Touch

    Hello,
    I've looked around in this community and found a few folks asking about playing VoiceMessage.wav files on their iPhones.  Some can, some can't.  Those that can, it seems, may not be using G729-encoded WAVs.
    But, before everyone pounces:
    I've written a G729 (and Annex A, B and AB) decoder using the CCITU reference code as a starting point for the iPhone/iPod Touch.  The reference bitstreams CCITU provide work just fine.  (simply: I can get an e-mail with a G729 WAV attachment and play it on my iPod Touch, via my app; porting this to some other platform wouldn't be much of a hassle - licensing the IP, on the other hand...).
    Looking at a VoiceMessage.wav file I received from a friend who has Unity, I see that the wave format tag (RIFF fmt chunk, bytes 9 and 10) come back as 0x0133 - that's defined as, WAVE_FORMAT_SIPROLAB_G729 (sorry, I wasn't shouting - I was copying/pasting).
    After stripping away the RIFF header (RIFF, fmt ,fact and DATA chunks), I have what should be G729 data.  It isn't - or, at least, it is in some sort of packed format.
    G729 bitstreams have a SYNC_WORD of 0x6B21, then a 50 (dec: 80 - the number of bytes in the frame) delimiting each frame.  Every 164 bytes, this repeats.  That's not the case with the WAV I received.  The person who sent it to me is in a position to know her system uses G729.  The WAV indicates it is G729.  There are no SYNC_WORDs anywhere and the 50s are scattered randomly (they're probably data at this point).
    If that's the case, where do I find information about that extra layer of compression?  Could it be the 80-byte packets are there, and that the SYNC_WORDs were left out, to be put back in at read time? (after all, if you know you're going to be processing 80-byte chunks, why bother writing out the SYNC_WORDs?)  hmm...

    FWIW: I just (literally - 6 minutes ago) got G729 voice messages to play on my iPod Touch directly out of e-mail.
    Not sure if that's worth anything to anyone, but it *can* be done.
    I rank the experience like learning long division. 

  • Can u Listen to FM stations from the new ipod touch 5??

    Can u Listen to FM stations from the new ipod touch 5 without internet??

    Very well, indeed it's true according to information found on google search. The hardware capability for FM radio does exists in some models—the current iPod touch and iPhone 3GS have FM transmitters, and the 2nd-gen iPod touch also has a chip that's capable of receiving FM signals, though it uses it for Nike+ stuff (so if there is a radio app, maybe it'll just be for current-gen models). The third-generation, 32GB and 64GB iPod touch models have a Broadcom chip that supports FM transmitting, though no talk has emerged of implementing that technique.

    For now, the only way to stream music offline(without the use of the Internet) is available on the rhapsody application. The version 2.0 of the Rhapsody application latest update, lets subscribers download their favorite Rhapsody playlists to their iPhone, iPod touch or iPad so they can listen anytime -- even when they're not connected to the Internet. However the Rhapsody music service t needs a $10 a month subscription in order to enjoy it's feature, it also has a free trial before you make any subscription payments.
    Good luck

  • 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...

  • Best database format for iPhone / iPod Touch Application?

    Hello Adobe Community, I hope you can help me again with this one:
    I plan to develop an iPhone / iPod Touch application that reads from an offline database (basically a big list of text data). Which format should / could I use? XML? Any other? And how would the XML be embedded / included in the App?
    Thank you very much in advance!
    Best regards,
    Chico

    Hi Alex, thanks for replying - I was hoping you would!
    Are you sure about that? It has been said that it is not possible, here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/533885?tstart=0
    Also, would you have a specific link to some example / tutorial / documentation where it works with Flash?
    Finally, are you being specific about the upcoming cs5, or would it work on (current) cs4?
    Thanks a ton!

  • ITunes U on iPhone/iPod touch workaround

    I was curious if anyone had (or is working on) a solution to bring iTunes U content to Apple's mobile devices?
    I created a simple workaround by creating static pages (using iphone friendly css) and pointing the links to the subscribe (/Feed/) URLs in our ITu site. The built-in .Mac feed reader then parses out the rss content in a way that is friendly to the device. Not a fancy solution, but it works.
    To see it in action point Safari (on your iPhone/iPod touch) to itunes.bowdoin.edu.

    I think things will become a lot clearer when an iPhone SDK hits the streets. Some people have messed with the iPhone toolchains you can find if you look hard ... with jail-break enabled iPhones. I would sooner wait for a definitive SDK.
    We know very little of how Safari and iTunes work on the phone. At least "officially". Basically, if the phone can recognize the iTunes itmss redirect, then there is some hope. Certainly, a request client (something that would bypass Safari to get the redirect) is do-able ... in theory. The main problem, as I see it, is that the iPhone does not know how to handle the itmss redirect.
