Someone Else Controlling My IPOD Touch?

I used WiFi connection where I was staying on a recent holiday and after which during the holiday it was as if whilst unlocked, my ipod touch was being controlled by someone else?! At first I thought the screen was dirty or something and actually making random touch screen selections however a thorough clean and removal of screen protector provided no change. When observed it did appear to be more than random selections when observed as options menus where opened and applications where being utilized (obviously I stopped any changes being made). Is it possible the device was hacked ad someone else controlling my ipod?
Doesn't seem to be occurring now home however interested in thoughts?
Thank you

If you jailbroke it, then anyone with knowledge of unix could control the iPod remotely.
Access the filesystem, but not "control" it in the way the OP is seeing. In addition to being jailbroken, it would also have to have SSH installed, be on the same network as the hacker, the hacker would have to know the password (and that its an iPod touch device), and even then, it wouldn't allow the hacker to 'press' random icons on the screen, as the OP is seeing. The hacker would still need physical access to the device to perform some of the steps involved in getting remote access.

Has anybody else had an iPod touch battery go into "deep discharge"? The only way to get it out of "deep discharge" is to connect to a Mac computer to charge it. Mine was only 6 months old when it happened, and cost $80 AUS to recharge. Rubbish batteries!

Has anybody else had an iPod touch battery go into "deep Discharge"? Mine did after 6 months use, Mains charger did not work, computer charger did not work, so took it for repair under warranty. I was then told about "deep discharge" , and it has to be connected to a Mac computer to recharge again. This cost me $80 AUS. It does not say much for iPod batteries, especially if you don't have a Mac to charge it if it happens again. In fact it sounds like a fundamental flaw in the product......

There are other repair companies for the touch/iPhone. Google them, you might find a lower price.

Can someone find my stolen iPod Touch for me?

I bought my last iPod Touch at the Bakersfield, California Valley Plaza Mall Target store, but a thief stole it from me at the Bakersfield, California Truxtun-and-S Kern County Beale Memorial Public Library when I, while walking around the second floor for some exercise, had kept it on one of the patron second-floor desks still attached to my Motion Computing Tablet PC during downloading an OS update. The last post I had added to that same iPod Touch was a video of the use of a Spencer ******** sleeve with some lubrication they don't sell in their store. Yet, that video got stuck in transit in a holding cell while a new iOS update began. If that thief ever turns on my iPod Touch, my PC will notify me of that pod's whereabouts immediately. Why did that iOS update occur right at that moment when that same ******** video was to be either accepted or rejected as too obscene? My face is not in the video, which, in spite of its sexual content, might actually be educational and perhaps also business savvy. I made and posted the video because I wanted to convey my need for a real person to make love to, certainly not an object at all. The ******** sleeve makes my ***** look ridiculously like Alice in Wonderland dressed in her rings as depicted in some of the original illustrations in that fictional title's original book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. Why did those spies get really calm and quiet all of a sudden?! Can someone please find my stolen iPod Touch for me? If that thief turns that pod on, I might get that Target refund card, which I might use to buy another iPod Touch because I love its Photoshop Express' photo-editing and graphic-design features. If I ever get another iPod Touch, however, I won't take it to the library or the bus stop, where I won't stand around using the Internet. Instead, I'll just use it as a second camera and photo-editing tool.

Someone had stolen my ipod touch how can retrive my serial number with out the ipod

someone from my work stole my ipod touch. How can i retrive my serial number but i don't have the ipod anymore

Report the theft to the police.
Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod. If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number). If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. Something as small as an iPod should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

Parental controls for ipod touch?

Is there any way to prevent internet access while using the ipod touch. We would like to purchase an ipod touch for a young relative but she is not permitted to use the internet or receive emails. Is it possible to eliminate this feature?

i guess they could restore the ipod, hence removing the parental controls. (but all the other settings would need re-loading - real pain in the neck)
or guess the password put on them (4 digits, could take a while but would be possible)
if it's a home network then you can block their access more easily by securing the network and not allowing them to have the password. it's when they're out and about and can access public networks that the parental controls would necessary.

Controlling the iPod Touch

Hi all!
There is something I would LOVE to be able to do, is leaving my iPod Touch in my pocket while being able to control it. I saw a couple of solutions and I'd like to know what you guys think about it.
1) Timex iControl Watch for iPod
I love the concept (and I also need a new watch lol) but I'm afraid it stops working after a few months for whatever reason.
2) iPod Radio Remote
I know it says it's not working with the iPod Touch (and I don't care about the FM Radio) but my Sony iPod Boombox said it's not working on the Touch neither and it actually works, so is it working even though it's not supported by Apple?
3) Any other suggestions?
Thanks for your answers

Sorry, but the radio remote doesn't work at all with the iPod Touch. A message appears on the screen telling you the accessory is not supported, and it doesn't do anything. I believe the issue may be that it streams digital audio from the iPod and has its own DA converter, which would be necessary to have within the remote itself, as the FM signal decodes (demodulates, technically) directly to an analog audio signal. And of course, the iPod dock connector can only send or receive digital data.
My point being that it's not just a simple control device, and it might be fairly complicated to get it working with the different hardware and OS on the iPhone/iPT. But still. I don't even care about the radio feature. I just want a remote. And I wish it had been a priority to Apple to at least make the control functions work, but I don't think it's Apple's style to make something "sort of" work. They are either not going to do it at all, or it's way down a long list of other stuff that's more important for the iPhone platform right now. Considering it still lacks copy and paste in 2.0, I guess I can understand that.

Computer controlling my ipod touch

I don't want to jailbreak my ipod touch so is there another way I can use my computer to project my ipod touch. I have an app that I want to use in a presentation so I would like to project my ipod touch screen via my computer. Does anyone have a tutorial on this that doesn't involve jailbreaking my touch and using Veency.
Thanks

That is not possible.

No Volume Control on iPod touch! Help me please!

Last night I was going to watch a YouTube video on my iPod. My volume had been all the way down, so I tried to use the side buttons to turn it up, but it didn't work. I then noticed that the slide bar volume control wasn't available either. I've done some research on the web and can't seem to find a solution. I have the Best Buy warranty on my iPod, but I've went through heck with repairs on a previous iPod before, and I'd rather not have to ship this one to Dallas for Best Buy to fix it unless I have to.

No, I'm about to though. However, from what I've read online, this is a common problem and a reset/restore won't fix it. But I'm going to try.

Is there a way to calibrate voice control on ipod touch ios 6.0.1?

it seems like every time I update to a new ios it just causes a new problem. not usually a big one, but something. last time (when I updated to ios 6) my app store kept crashing. this time the biggest problem I'm having is that since updating to ios 6.0.1 my voice control can't seem to understand me. I ask it to play artist "pink" and instead it somehow thinks I've asked it to play songs by "greenday" or, even funnier "mannheim steamroller" it's like I'm playing russian roulett on whether or not it will actually understand me, only instead of 6 chambers and one bullet (it misunderstanding me being the bullet) it's more like 1,000 chambers and 999 bullets. I have pretty much given up on voice control for now, which means I don't get to change what I'm listening to if I'm driving, since I'm very safety conscious and will not look at the screen to change it. does anyone know if there is a way to calibrate the voice control?

Nothing special for VC. You can try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device

Everything else on my iPod touch works except for the music app.

All the other applications, built in or downloaded, work perfectly fine. Every time I try to open the music app, it kicks me back to the home screen. I've already restored it and it hasnt helped. Help, please!!

OK, deleting and restoring music helped for me (stlll slower than OS 4). See this link:

Is there an application to controll the ipod touch through your pc

This is the opposite to what the 'Remote' application does. I don't really know where to post it and I have looked in the application store.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/remote/
Thanks.

yes there is if you have a professional computer (EX: windows vista professional) then use winadmin and if you don't use jaadu vnc. Direct link: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=286470485&mt=8
