Total rookie trying to get on-line with my ipod touch.

Ok... I just got a new ipod touch for my family and have no idea what is happening when I try to go on-line.
Whenever we try to go to a web site we are asked to select a wi-fi network. When we choose on, we are asked for a password or to join. I have no idea what to do from here?? as I said, we are absolute rookies here?
Any help would be great!!

Welcome aboard!
When you see a list of WiFi networks, you'll see some of them have a little lock symbol next to their names, and others do not have that symbol. The ones with a lock are the ones that have been password protected by their owners. Unless you know the password, you won't be able to get onto those networks.
Instead you should look for and choose the ones without a lock symbol. Those are the ones that are not password protected and therefore will allow access by your Touch. It might not work all the time (maybe there are configuration issues with that network), but it will usually work.
However, if the open network is one that is pay-to-use (such as at an airport or at a cafe), it will seem like it lets you onto the network, and yet you cannot get Weather to work or anything else. If that happens, try starting up Safari. Try to go to a web site. If your destination gets hijacked by a login page, then you know this is a network that requires you to log in (and perhaps pay) before you can use it. For example, I was in two different airports last week. In one I got access but it was pay-to-play. In the other one, it also popped up a login screen on Safari, but it was just to have me acknowledge that they were providing free access. Once I clicked to acknowledge, I was online without any problem.
In summary, you have four different scenarios with WiFi:
1. None in your immediate area. You aren't going online.
2. Ones with locks. Unless you know the password, you aren't using them.
3. Ones with no locks, but they create a splash screen in Safari. Maybe they want money to use, maybe they don't. Give 'em a shot and see.
4. Ones with no locks and no barriers to entry. You can go online with them unless there are some odd configuration issues.

I would be really gratefull if anyone can help

Hi,
The iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS support Internet tethering over a USB cable, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3574.
The iPod touch can connect over a Wi-Fi network, as mentioned here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2031.
If your PC has a wireless card, you may be able to create an Ad-Hoc Wi-Fi network that can share the Internet access to the iPod touch.
You can also get a wireless router, like an Airport base station http://www.apple.com/wifi/.

I'm trying to get new apps on my iPod Touch

I updated the software and updated iTunes.
But when I click on the Apps tab in iTunes for my device, I see the Apps I downloaded but I cannot check them to sync with my iPod. They are unavailable. I'm using Windows 7 if that makes any difference.
Any suggestions?

On your iPod Touch head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions and make sure either all restrictions are off or that at least Installing Apps is Off.
Any luck there?

How can I get internet connectivity with my iPod Touch cabled to my PC?

Most devices "tether" to a computer (PC or iMac) for internet connection. I cannot find any reference in the user manual on getting internet access from the connected PC to the "tethered" ipod touch. How can I accomplish this?

Trying to get some data back on iPod touch

I reccently had to restore my ipod due to the fact that i forgot the password. I redownloaded an app and it had the old data from a while ago, like it hasnt been updated. I have iCloud though so im thinking maybe it can restore the reccent data. If I hit the "back up now" button in iCloud, on my ipod touch, will it restore the old data since im pretty sure it was one of the backed up apps or will it save the data that's technically old. I guess you can say im confused on what backing up something actually means....

No. If you tap the back up now, the iPod will backup to iCloud overwriting the previous backup. Yu need to restoe the iPod from the iCloud backup. Yu can do that by going to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. Then on the iPod select restore from iCloud backup. The iPod should be connected to a power source since ther is alot of stuff to download,

How Do i get my music off my ipod touch on to my computer?

How do I get my music off my iPod Touch?

I had a virus and had to delete all the data on my computer. I am now setting iTunes up again and I tried to get my songs off my iPod touch. It transfered only a small portion of my music, only the songs I had purchased in the past few months or so. I am authorized on this computer, and the few songs I got by trying to sync the songs off my ipod. How do I get my music off my iPod so I can listen to it on my computer?

You'll likely need the assistance of some third party software to help you recover the non-iTunes purchased music. See this older thread for a few possibilities.

How do you get a line with MULTIPLE fields to WRAP ?

How do you get a line with MULTIPLE fields to WRAP ?
Good afternoon everyone...
THE PROBLEM: Why doesn’t a line with multiple fields WRAP?
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE/WHAT I”D LIKE TO SEE
If I have 2 fields on a line (this is now a hypothetical example and nothing to do with my actual report)….let’s call them field A and field B. And if field A has values of all ‘X’ and field B has values of all ‘Y’…then….the normal case would be (ignore dots – only for spacing):
A……………………… B
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
But what if A is too long? I would want to see B wrap onto the next line like this:
A……………………………………………………B
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYY
YYYYYYYYYYYYY
And similarly….if B is extra long, can the line print as:
A………………………. B
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I don’t want the case where B is long and I get:
A………………… …B…
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
………………………..YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I can see how you can wrap an individual field like that…but how can you WRAP a line of[b] fields within the frame so it wraps to the BEGINNING of the frame on next line?
My SPECIFIC CASE
I have a report that I have stripped down to a simple structure for the purposes of this explanation.
My DATA MODEL has the main QUERY (for plant family and species data). The columns of the query are divided into 2 groups. The 1st GROUP contains the family data. Below that is the rest of the species data in a 2nd GROUP.
Linking from the 2nd species group (above) is a new QUERY to extract REGION data based on the common key field. Under this 2nd query is another group with all the REGION columns.
The LAYOUT MODEL has a group frame (the main , base one)
On top of this is a repeating frame based on the 1st group (family data).
On top of this is another repeating frame for the 2nd group (species data).
On top of this is 2 Frames on the same line line. The 1st frame contains columns from the species group .
The 2nd frame on this line is a repeating frame. The PRINT DIRECTION for this frame is ACROSS/DOWN. It repeats details of the REGION where the species is found. These columns come from this group come from the REGION QUERY and GROUP.
All fields on the report line have variable horizontal elasticity.
The problem is that when there is too much data on the line, it does NOT WRAP to the 2nd line.. It TRUNCATES.
Can the line be made to WRAP????..
In my current report, 1 of 2 things is happening:
1) All fields print on the line until it hits the page boundary and then it just stops. Truncated!
2) All fields print on the current line, then Oracle Reports throws a new page to print the REMAINDER of the long, input line
But I would like a LONG line to continue printing onto the following line of the same page.
I have tried all combinations of the elasticity fields and the ‘ADVANCED LAYOUT’ properties.
I have been focussing my attention with this problem on the frames .
We are using REPORT BUILDER V 6.0.8.26.0
Thankyou to anyone who may offer assistance.
Tony Calabrese.

Steve,
you gain 1 thing, but you lose something else!
This thing is SO frustrating!
Hey Steve! Good afternoon.
I've done as you suggested....I have a long text boilerplate item - the only 1 on the line...and it has all the column in it.
So it looks like:
&col1 &col2 &col3 &col4 &col5 etc etc etc
And the line expands nicely to each field's requirements.
And when it gets to the right page boundary...it WRAPS to the next line! Beautiful!!!
The only thing is that...when I had individual fields across the line I was able to create format triggers for those fields. And in doing so I was able to reduce the font and change the justification. I had to do that because some of the fields had to appear superscripted.
So I wanted something like (ignore the dots):
...................................ppppp
AAAA BBBB CCCCC DDDD EEEE FFFFFF
So the field of 'ppppp' appeared slightly higher on the line than the other fields...
I can't see how I can do this with a single TEXT field containing all the &COL values.
Have you ever come across anything like this?
Thankyou again,

I tried to download a movie on my iPod touch but due to limited space, it did not download. Then, I checked my credit card online, and I found the money was already taken. How will I get it to download on another device with the same account?

I am trying to sync my itunes with my ipod, but when I get to step 3 of syncing, it stops. Also, I deleted all the songs on my ipod, and when I go to my music in my ipod the songs are all still there and in a grey color and I'm not able to select them.

How do I completely clear my ipod music, and how can I solve the syncing problem?

Sync works the same way it always has, connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
All the media should be in iTunes already, iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
If this is a new computer, move the content from the old computer to the new computer.
