Search for non-internet Apps for iPod Touch?

I have an iPod Touch, so I don't always have an internet connection when I am away from my house. I would like to specifically search for apps that don't require an internet connection to run. For example, many of the translation tools rely on Google to translate--I would like a translation app with a built-in dictionary that I can use without having internet access.
Is there a way to specify a search for only self-contained apps (don't rely on internet) when searching iTunes? Or do I need to open the description for each app to see if it relies on an internet connection?

No one answered you, but this is exactly what I am looking for too.
What I have found is that, without an internet connection, the iphone and touch products are little more than a pretty music player. I think they call it 'cloud computing'; focusing data storage and function on remote systems and just using the touch and iphone for access. That appears to be the way their development is going. It works fine when you are always near wifi, but where I work has no wifi and no cell coverage. I've found that for most work tasks, translation, secure documents, gathering data, GPS etc, the PDA or smart phone is a better fit. Those store data and applications locally on the unit itself rather than on the internet somewhere that you won't always be able to access.
With all the storage space on the touch and iphones, you'd think they could give a little of it over to onboard apps and functions, but until they do, at least there is the PDA.

  • TS1702 Went to update apps on ipod touch IOS 4.2.1. I did a factory reset. Now I can't get most of my apps back because I can't download version 5.0. I paid for some of these apps.

    Went to update apps on ipod touch IOS 4.2.1.  I did a factory reset and now I can't get most of my apps back & can't download version 5.0 which I need to get back some of my apps. I paid for some of these. I've tried my backup and it didn't put them back on.

    If your iPod Touch is too old for iOS 5 or later... there is not much you can do.
    When/if you get a later model iDevice you will be able to Download Past Purchases using the Original ID that made those Purchases. (providing they are still supported by the Developer)

  • What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g?  iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.

    What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g?  iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.
    It's a 64G ipod touch and was fine till Apple told me to upgrade to ios 6.  Now most of my apps crash, my music won't play and I just get a white screen when I hit Music.
    When I try to sync to itunes it acts like it's going to sync and appears to recognize the ipod, but it's grayed out and has an update circle by it that spins for a while until itunes eventually freezes alltogether.  Is there a  way to go back to ios 5 after a erase and reset?

  • How do I remove "web clips" links to web pages from my Home screen? Holding until jiggle does not produce "X" for deletion contrary to the ipod touch manual

    How do I remove "web clips" links to web pages from my Home screen? Holding until jiggle does not produce "X" for deletion contrary to the ipod touch manual

    Figured oout that I had restricted deletions of programs.
    Settings->General->Restrictions-> (enter your passcode), Turn Deleting Apps ON
    Afterward holding an icon until it jiggles will produce the X delete button.
    You might want to turn Delete apps OFF after cleaning up.

  • I purchase Star Walk for IPAD, but I have Ipod Touch

    Hi,
    I purchase by mistake Star Walk for IPAD, but I have Ipod Touch.
    Its is possible ti have a refound ? Vito technology enterprise said to me to ask Apple for a refund. It is possible to have a refund ?
    If one of you want this very nice application, let me know, the file size is 81 megs. I'm able to put on my web site with a link to download the file.
    Trade is possible also.
    Thanks

    The terms of conditions stipulate no refunds. However, you can go to your purchase history and click on the report a problem button, explain the problem and ask for a refund. What you may not do is give the app you downloaded to anyone else. It is only licensed to your account.

  • Looking for a free app for secure note taking with search feature (unlimited)

    Hi dudes,
    As the topic suggests, I'm looking for a free app for secure note taking with search feature without any restriction on the number of notes or any other major restriction. I already use HiDisk (which lacks search feature), and security note+ (which has limitation on the number of notes). I also have used My Disk which its search feature doesn't work correctly (it's buggy).
    Thank you.

    One named NotePad is free, saves as .txt files.
    Another, WriterRoom, costs $1.99USD, and saves as .txt and .doc files.

  • HT1420 I need to authorize my computer for my daughter's new ipod touch but there is no Store menu or Advanced menu in the new version of iTunes I just downloaded today.  I can't see a way to do it.

    I need to authorize my computer for my daughter's new iPod Touch but in the new version of itunes that just upgraded to day there is no "store" menu or "advanced" menu that I can see and I can't see a way to do it.  So anything she buys with her i.d. won't transfer.  Help!

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

  • ISight not working for non-Apple apps under particular user account

    I noticed that my iSight built into Macbook Pro 15" is not working anymore for non-Apple apps (Skype and Webex at least) and working for Facetime and Messages Beta under same account.
    I tried to test it using different account on OS X with Skype and it is working great!
    I'm using 10.7.3.
    Any advice?

    Hi,
    I take it that in System Information the camera is listed under USB items ?
    Your speps say OS x 10.7.2
    Have you updated to OS X 10.7.3 ?
    If you have I would start with that by doing a COMBO Version (Not using Software Update)
    This will be everything that has been updated since OS X 107 came out and may catch those hard to trace issues.
    Using the FInder > Go Menu > Hold the ALT key and Select the Library that appears > then navigate to Preferences.
    In here find the Skype .plist.
    Open it with Quick Look.
    Can you capture that (Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) + Shift + 4 together (Also tap space bar at the end to get the Window) ) ? and post it here.
    I don't use Skype and don't have the .plist to see if it lists the camera.
    If it does it might pay to delete the.plist and force Skype to re-***** the hardware.  (It also depends how much of your other settings are in there)
    In the meantime if you go to the Skype Preferences can you see a Preview of the camera ?
    Can you turn Off access to the camera and turn it On again in Skype ?
    Skype does use Flash Player to do the Video.
    Is Webex a browser led thing that uses Flash ?
    If it looks like it is a Flash Issue do you have the GoogleTalk Video Plugin installed (there is a standalone and it is part of Chrome) ?
