Using iMac/iPod Touch WIFI

Hello everyone,could someone please help me connect my iPod Touch to the internet without a router using my iMac?I get as far as enabling internet sharing with Airport On and the Touch showing a full WIFI signal but still unable to connect to internet.I must have missed a step setting this up and cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.
Thanks

If the iMac is connected to the Internet using Ethernet (wired), set up System Preferences Sharing pane +Internet Sharing+ so it says
+Share you connection from *Built-in Ethernet*+
+To computers using AirPort+
After setting that up, check the box next to +Internet Sharing+ to turn ON the service.
If it still does not work, the issue may be with how the iMac is connected. Is there a router between the iMac and the ISP's modem device? Are any special settings needed to get the iMac connected?

Is there anyway I can use my iPod Touch serial number or Apple ID to trace and find back my iPod Touch? Cause I lost it recently(as you know iPod Touch can only go online if there is WiFi). is there any other ways too, apart from contacting the police?

No.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
iCloud: Find My iPhone
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product

Can I use iPod Touch Wifi & Airtunes,without switching off Internet Sharing

I've got an Aiport Express connected to my stereo to stream my music library via Airtunes. It is away from my computer and does not have an internet connection hardwired to it. I would like to be able to use my iPod Touch to connect to the Airport Express, which would then wirelessly connect to the Airport Card in my mac, thus allowing the Touch to share the internet of my main computer.
Currently I can connect my Touch to the Airport card in my computer by turning on Internet Sharing, but when I do this, I lose the ability to stream my music to my Airport Express.
Can I somehow configure to stream music from my base computer AND surf the internet on my Touch via the Airport Express' wifi connection?
Thanks for any help!

Thanks Scott, Was thinking that might be the case, but was hopeful.
So, if I accept the fact that I can't use Airport Express to share internet that way, how about this related issue? I can connect my Touch by wifi to my computer's Airport Card by turning on Internet Sharing. However, when I do this I can no longer stream music from my computer's iTunes to my Airport Express connected to my stereo. The remote speakers disappear from the iTunes selection box. In order to get them back, I have to turn off internet sharing. And then Touch wifi stops working. Is there a reason that only once function would work at a time? Or do I have something configured incorrectly?
Thanks!

Can u use the ipod touch without wifi like the phones do

can u use the ipod touch without wifi like the phones do

That depends on what you mean by "use".
Sure you can use it without wifi. Many apps do not require a connection to the Internet. The iPod app (or Music and Videos apps, I can never remember which the iPod Touch uses nowadays), for example.
However, iPod Touch devices do not include the "cell phone parts" - i.e. they cannot connect to cellular voice or data networks. Therefore, when an iPod Touch cannot connect to a wifi network, it has no way to transceive data with the Internet (short of Bluetooth, but that's a special case and I'm sure not what you're asking about).

How can I use my iPod Touch as a remote for iTunes, while connected via USB?

I was wondering if I could use my iPod touch as a remote/iTunes extension while it is connected to my computer via usb.
It would be highly practical to control my music from there, since it is charging right by my side while I'm at my computer.
Remote is not really an option, my computer doesn't have bluetooth or any connectivity. Something over wifi would work, but there's a usb connection right there that's begging to be used.
Thanks

You can't do it via USB. Go to the App store and download/install the Apple Remote app. It can control iTunes on your computer via wifi.

Can I use my iPod touch as a phone?

Can I use my ipod touch as a phone for fre?

With wifi available you can use an app like Skype for voice and video (4G only). There are also texting app like Text+.. There is also the native FaceTime and Messahes for iPods that use iOS 5. You need a wifi connection for all.

Can i use my ipod touch with airport express?

I will be staying in a hotel that only offers hard wire internet connection. Can I use my ipod touch with airport express to have have WiFi? I won't have my computer with me.
Thanks!

Yes, you can. However, you will not be able to administer the AirPort from the iPod Touch. Thus you would need to pre-configure the AirPort Express to work at the particular hotel that you will be staying at. Note: Most hotels now offer Wi-Fi in the rooms and the Express may not be necessary.

Ipod touch wifi not as good as before

my ipod touch wifi cant get the internet from across the hallway, but it used to get it from a block away. I tryed all of the things on YouTube, but none of them worked. Please Help!

Did you try:
resetting the iPod?
Resetting network setting?
Restoring the iPod from backup?
Restoring the iPod to factory defaults?
Saying that you did what was specified on an undefined YouTube vidoe provides us with no information on what you did,

How do you use your iPod Touch?

I'm thinking of buying an ipod touch 5th gen, but I have to convince myself that it would help me significantly before I drop $300 on a device. My question: how do you use your iPod Touch, aka, what things have helped you significantly, excluding games? I've heard a ton about how awesome the new version is, and everything about its camera and retina display, but I want to know that I would actually use one first....
Thanks.

Surf the web from bed and coffee shops/bookstores. When in a store that has WiFi I may research a product that looks interesting to buy.
It is a camera that is always with you (assuming you always take it with you), so you can capture that picture that happens once in a life time. Also the camera is great when shopping for "Big Ticket" items as you can take pictures to remind you of things you were looking at so you can do additional research at home before making your final decision.
Check my mail from bed and coffee shops/bookstores, etc... when WiFi is available.
Use it as an alarm clock, meeting reminder, todo reminder.
Take notes (not school notes, just ideas, stuff I maybe want to buy, useful information I may pick up in a bookstore, books I may want to buy, etc...)
Contains my contacts for friends, family, and businesses (plumber, dentist, doctor, etc...)
Plays music, or in my case, I listen to podcasts
Reading ebooks. I use it a lot to read ebooks. It is always with me, so I can read a book anywhere, such as waiting in a doctor/dentist office, at the motor vehicle registry. And reading in bed is great as when you fall asleep, it remembers what page you were on vs that book that drops onto your face and wakes you back up while at the same time loosing your page
The Maps app is great for finding where something is located, and plotting how to get there (not as good as having an iPhone with GPS, but still useful). Also the satellite images make it easier to visualize where you are going.
When connected to WiFi it can be used for Facetime when calling a friend or family member that also has an iOS device. Seeing a loved one when they are not near can be emotionally satisfying. You can also make skype calls.
I use 1Password to store all my passwords. It keeps them secure, I always have them with me, and I do not need to use the same password over and over again, or make them too simple to remember. 1Password has a built-in browser so you it can substitute the correct password for the web site you are visting without actually needing to look it up.
1Password related but not passwords. Because 1Password encrypts all the data it holds, I can also store sensitive information (such as medical conditions, or other information I do not want made public should my device be lost or stolen), yet always have that information with me should I need it.
I can get the weather. This week, I've been using an app to get high/low Tide infromation, plus sunrise information. But getting weather info when you wake up so you can plan your day and if you need to shovel the driveway before going to work. I find it easier to get the weather from my iOS device than it is to use my laptop or turn on the Weather Channel.
Calclator. 2+2 = 4, but there are times you do need to get something right, and calculators are useful. They have all kinds available, including hexidecimal calculators for programmers.
RSS newsfeed reader (I follow about 20+ feeds, including these discussions groups via RSS feeds).
Travel services. Most airports have WiFi, and you can get updated travel info for your flights via some speciallized travel apps.
If you are into tracking your car mileage, gas usage, maintenance costs, etc..., there are apps for that.
While you can watch video on your iOS device (downloaded movies, YouTube), you can also stream movies from services such as Netflix. This can be useful when traveling, or if you are stuck in bed with a cold, or if you have lost control of the "Remote" and do not want to watch "Dancing with the Stars"
TV related, there are apps that will give you the TV schedule for your area, so you can browse the shows on this evening.
List. You can keep lists, including grocery shopping lists, items to pack for a trip lists, things to do for that bathroom remodel, things you need to get before school starts, Christmas lists, etc.... NOTE: Ideas for Christmas/Birthday/Anniversary gifts may come anytime during the year, but if you do not write them down, you may be scratching your head when the event arrives. Putting them in a list can help you later on.
You can get a Level app. You may laugh, but I have actually used my iOS device to check if something was level. It was there, and a carpenters level was not. Not perfect, but it did what I needed at the time.
Finding a good resturante (Yelp, Urbanspoon, etc...). The iOS device can be very helpful in finding a good nearby place to eat when away from home, or even discovering a new play where you live to get out of that eat at the same place rut.
That is some of the things I use my iOS device for.

IPod Touch wifi broadcast causing battery drain!

Heres what I've found with this issue.
The wifi will at some point become locked onto broadcast.
I used unshielded speakers to detect when the ipod is emitting signal. I would try various things like loading a video from the net via wifi and I would pick up some static on the speakers when the iPod is held close to them. Similar to a cell phone near a computers speakers when receiving a call. The interference generated by something simple like this was there but minimal. When there was nothing being downloaded to the iPod there would be an occasional pulse sent out by it. Very small, very quick. The problem arises when at some random moment, usually within 10-15 minutes of wifi being on the wifi gets stuck onto some type of constant broadcast. The interference with the speakers is non-stop and will just continue until the battery depletes. Usually in about an hour or two. The wifi locks into the broadcast mode and constantly sends out going radio signal detectable by the unshielded speakers. I've also noticed that there is abnormal heat accompanying this on the top left corner backside of the iPod just under the power button. Maybe this is near to the wifi emmitter?
Well Apple it seems that this is a pretty big issue and over a month now and still no fix. Do you need me to bring over these speakers to your labs so you can see whats going on here??? Try it out folks, you'll see what I'm talking about.

You can take your speakers in, I suppose...but I don't think you really want to haul them in.
Here on the Apple Forums, most of us are volunteers--including me. Apple doesn't always check in here, though I have seen a few people that I think work for Apple.
Now: I haven't had the problem you describe, and use my iPod touch on wifi a good chunk of the day, near my MacBook, speakers, and AirPort Express. (Like within inches.) Makes me wonder if the issue isn't unique to your unit.
If your iPod is within warranty, +take it in.+ If not, it might still be worth taking in to see if everything is okay.

How do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account?

how do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account? can they share apps and music etc. I'm not very good at any tech so advise would be much appreciated.

Yes. You can sync an unlimited number of iDvies that you control to one iTunes library/account. If using the same iTunes library on the same comutr just make sure that yu go to the ap. music and other pane for the iPod in iTunes and select sycn selected items. Not the the whole library. That way each iPod can have it own contents.

How can I use my iPod touch as a camera to broadcast to twitch?

I am really having fun doing twitch.tv broadcasts, but is there any way i can use my iPod touch 5th gen as a camera, so i can aim it at something and thats what my viewers see? I broadcast using OBS (Open Broadcasting Software) on my windows (Yea, windows ) PC.

HT1206 Can I use one iPod Touch with 2 accounts and download from both accounts?

Can I use one iPod Touch with 2 accounts? Can I download onto the one iPod from each account?

I havent seen anything confirming this but I suspect not. that would require you keep logging in and out of the two accounts since you can only sign in to one at once. In iTunes on your computer if you log into another iTunes account you can't log into another one for 90 days. As I say I've seen nothing confirming this on a mobile device, but I suspect it will be the same.
