Turning ipod touch into a hotspot

I have a ipod touch 5th generation.  Can I turn this device into a hotspot where other devices can connect to the internet through my ipod touch?

No, this is only a feature of the iPhone and cellular iPad, because they can connect to cellular networks, whereas other devices may not be able to. However, they can connect to Wi-Fi just as easily as your iPod touch can so there is no need for a hotspot on the iPod.

  • Use G4 Modem and Wireless to turn IPOD touch into wireless phone?

    Has anybody tried this? I bought a G4 off the ebay a while back to see if I even wanted to switch to a MAC. No I have a MAC mini and now a MAC Book Pro.
    An 130GIG old IPOD 32GB Ipod Touch and a version 1 IPhone, it all started I guess with the Iphone.
    The G4 has a modem built in. It would be cool to have an app on the Ipod that connect over the WAN and I could answer the phone with the IPOD touch or maybe an Iphone. The G4 could even act as an answering machine. Any ideas?

    It isn't possible to turn it into a phone. You can use apps such as Skype, or FaceTime, but they are in no way a suitable replacement for a real phone.

    Changing Facetime settings on an iPod will have no affect on cellular settings on an iPhone. Something else is going on there. If she did not change any settings on the phone, then nothing she did could affect your celluar 3G.

  • I plugged my ipod touch into my laptop and started to down load an (1) upgrade.  But Itunes says that the upgrade will take two hours.  I started the down load and it started and stoped and eventualy never complerted the down load.  How can I fix this ?

    I plugged my Ipod touch into my Dell laptop and went to Itunes.  Itunes told me I should down load an upgrade, so I did.  Itunes said the down load would take two hours.  I started the down load, but after two + hours (&longer) , after several starts and stops the down load never completed. 
    I recently got a (fake anti virus) virus and it damaged my computer.  I got it fixed and reinstalled the software and it appears to be working correctly. Could this be the part of the problem ?
    Would it help if I reloaded the Itunes (off an external HD) or downloaded it again from Itunes ?
    Thanks

    I doubt it.  For my updates, it has typically taken me many tries/retries.  Like for you, the download would stop.  and I would have to restart from the beginning.  If you get a network timed out error try disabling the security software on your computer.

  • My computer that has iTunes on it crashed and I plugged my iPod Touch into it after it had crashed. Now it says it needs to be connected to iTunes.

    After my computer with iTunes on crashed I plugged my iPod Touch into the computer. It then said that it needs to be connected to iTunes but i can't connect it as the computer deleted iTunes and doesn't work. Please help.

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

    Try

    I would start with              
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or

    Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
    New cable and different USB port?
    Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • When i try to turn ipod touch on it stays on the black screen with the apple and nothing else happens. whats wrong?

    okay so just as i was typing this the problem resolved itself, but when i went to charge my ipod i noticed ot stayed on the black screen with the apple for a good 10 minutes, so i pressed buttons furiously (!!) and the screen went white and then back on to the screen with apple again. this contiinued for a good 4 tries then eventually went on to my lock screen (which is the very beautiful dom howard not that you know who that is and i dont even know any of you so i dont know why im typing all of this out but i really enjoy typing it's an incredibly exciting past time of mine but unfortunately i havent used capital letters) just wondering if it will happen again

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
