The necessity of WiFi on the iTouch.

I am looking ot buy my first Touch... upgrading from a nano. I live in a rural area, where the Wifi connections aren't plentiful. I want a touch for 'option' of email and web, but also for some the apps that would be very useful to my business/work. My concern is: is it impossible to use the touch if you don't have wifi all the time? I feel if I can't use ANY apps offline, i may as well put the money into a classic.
any advice?

Many apps work offline. But if a wifi connection is required (and there are many apps that do, such as flights, e-mail, Safari, Youtube, Weather Channel, Google Earth, Pandora, etc.) then you won't be too happy.
I have issues with needing to be connected to wifi...but not enough to make me want to get an iPhone. If a real lack of wifi is a concern, then you're better off with the Classic because you won't be able to use all the functions of a touch all the time.

Using ipad2 and airplay with appleTV; can I have the ipad2 on wifi and the AppleTV on a wired port of the same router in order to use airplay?

can I have the ipad2 on wifi and the AppleTV on a wired port of the same router in order to use airplay?

I belive you can, I think my friends Apple TV is connected to their internet via an Ethernet cable, and we use Airplay sometimes using our iPads that are connected to the same network via WiFi. It should work as long as they are both connected to the same network. However, I don't have an Apple TV of my own, so don't take this as a solid answer.

I am on Holliday and started an iOS upgrade to my iPAD 2, yesterday. The security lock have never been enabled. After the upgrade via WiFi in the hotel, the iPAD asks for a 4 digit kode to access my iPAD! ?????? APPLE, what programming subroutine is forgotten during functional testing prior to release of the latest iOS upgrade???? - Now from a borrowed hotel guest computer I post my ”HELP NEEDED”. Please advice if there is a way to skip a security kode I never enabled (nor even tried out and diabled) – WITHOUT spending time to find a Apple store helpdesk that restore via iTunes, and delete all my local data.

During the setup of iOS 7 which you went through after installation it asked if you wished to create a passcode. It is possible to skip setting up a passcode at this step but you must have created one.
If you can't remember the passcode and you have enabled "find my iPad" you can use http://www.icloud.com/ to remote erase your iPad, then you can set it up again, and restore it from an iCloud backup.

What is the difference between wifi and the 3G plus wifi?

I want to get an ipad for myself and I have no idea what the difference is between the regular wifi and the 3G plus wifi. If somebody could explain the difference to me so I can decide which one to get I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance!

On the iPad if you use wifi you have to be close to a wifi access point either in your home or at a location such as Starbucks or Paanera. This connection normally will transfer data faster than 3G. However, 3G will give you access in areas where there is mobile telephone service from Verizon or AT&T albeit at a slower data transfer rate than wifi.
Wifi will be cheaper than 3G since you'll have to subscribe to 3G service from Verizon or AT&T.
BTW, you won't be able to use "3G plus wifi" at the same time.

HT4623 Having upgraded my software I have now lost the use of wifi and the battery efficiency has dropped dramatically. I have followed online advice and reset the device - no joy and recently visited an Apple Store, only to be advised to buy a new phone?

Just updated software to 7.0.6 to find wifi facility lost and battery efficiency reduced. Apple store advise to buy a new phone. Surely the problem stems from the update ?

Have you followed http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559 ?
Also try settings>general>reset>reset all settings
If you have followed that article and restored your phone and set it up as new and you're still having that issue you may call and explain you followed the article and are still having the problem. Most likely they will either set up a replacement for you. If they ask you to set up the one time phone support agreement, and they assist you with a restore again, they won't bill you if they end up having to repair it.

HT1386 I just downloaded the latest and greatest Itunes software for my windows computer and my itouch. My wife did the same. now neither of the itouches will sync and transfer the apps or the music. what gives?

I just down loaded the latest and greatest itunes and Ipod touch software. went thru all the steps, my wife did the same for her itouch on her computer. Hers is frozen, can't complete the restore, mine won't sync all the apps and music to the ipod. Where do I go from here?

For her iPod see:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
For you, do you get any error messages?
Is there anything different about the apps and music that do sync and those that do not?
Try a restore from backup

Recently bought airport Extreme and have connected the device to the modem. WIFI works. However when I connect the LAN port to a switch I do not see the LAN printer and my NAS. Which setting do I miss?

I have installed my Airport Extreme and have conencted it directly to a modem. WIFI works fine. However I do not see my LAN network (printer. NAS,..).
Analysis:
Scen#1: When I connect the LAN port of the Airport Extreme to a switch (as input) and connect the other LAN devices also to the switch, those LAN devices do not have access to the internet. Also connecting the iPAD with WIFI to the Airport Extreme I cannot find my LAN printer and other devices.
Scen#2: When I connect the LAN port of the Airport Extreme to a router X (as input) and connect the router X to the same switch, and the LAN devices to the switch, those LAN devices do have access to the internet. Also connecting the iPAD with WIFI to the router X I can find my LAN printer and other devices in the LAN network.
Question what has impacted the behaviour of the Airport Extreme, not to detect the devices in the LAN network. Why is the use of a switch directly behind the Airport Extreme not working (no internet access for the other devices and Airport Extreme is not the basis station for the LAN network)?

Your scenario #1 is a correct configuration and should work. It seems as though your Extreme is not acting as a router as I believe you intend.
Most likely, you need to reset your modem. Power it down and let it rest for a few moments. Some need longer than others. Then, I recommend you "hard reset" your Extreme (see below) and configure it again, after the modem has been reset. From then on do not change what is connected to your modem without powering it down first.
Once configured, confirm your Extreme's wireless network works as expected and that your iPad and every other wireless device can load web pages. Then, connect the printer directly to one of the Extreme's LAN ports and confirm that it works as well. After that it should work equally well with a switch between it and the Extreme, as should every other wired device connected to the switch. This assumes your switch is an unmanaged device requiring no specific configuration.
Scenario #2: Having a router connected downstream of another is not a normal configuration, so don't pursue that as a solution. It will only distract you from determining the problem. If you want to repurpose Router X as another device do so only after everything else is working to your satisfaction.
To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.

Hello. My Macbook Pro looses wifi after 5 min of surfing. Connexion to a time capsule at 3 meters. The retailer said he changed the airport card. I had made a complete erase and re install of mouton Lion. The problem still occurs. What Can I do ?

I had not proceed to any software upgrades of the macbook or the time capsule. My other Mac book and my son PC work perfectly with the time capsule WIFI. The APPLE retailer (DARTY) don't find the root cause of this defect.
Any Idea ?

How does the ipad mini wifi only know my location when not connected to wifi?

I thought the wifi only ipad mini does not have a gps chip. Yesterday however, I was driving around with my wife in the car (no wifi) and the ipad mini was able to keep track of my location on the map I had pre-downloaded. How is this possible?

Your WiFI only position is determined by the iPad keeping track of the names and intensity of the various WiFi signals and comparing that to a database of WiFi access points with their locations.

I cannot access the internet via wifi on my time capsule.

I cannot access the internet via wifi on my time capsule even thought it was shown that I am connected to the time capsule with full wifi on my iMac. I use to be able access the internet via wifi on the TC. However, after playing around with the airport utility on my iPad I was no longer able to access the internet via the wifi on myTC. How can I fix this problem?

Did your TC recently upgrade firmware to 7.6.3?
I recommend you do a full factory reset.. and redo the setup.
Use different names.. SMB type.. ie short, no spaces. pure alphanumeric for everything.
Use only WPA2 Personal security.
If that doesn't work, give more info.
Age of the TC.. model number.. A1xxx from the base.
Firmware revision.
In the computer are you getting the correct IP and router and dns values? Please post a screen shot.

How can I create multiple accounts without the necessity to create multiple email addresses? I now have 2 i-phones (mine and my wife's), 1 i-pad (mine), 1 i-pad mini (10 year old's), and 1 I-pod touch (11 year old's). I would like to maintain purchase control, but would like to be able to have a separate account ID for each person. Is that possible?

Each email address can only be on one iTunes account, and all purchases are tied to the account that buys them. If you want to have separate iTunes accounts on each then you will need separate email accounts for each iTunes account
