Using iPod Touch to hear mac's audio

Hi,
I would like to watch movies on my mac and listen to the mac's audio via my ipod headphones. I have tried Airfoil, but it lags by a second when I use their player, so I'm looking for something else. I have mac pro with bluetooth, and so does the ipod, is there any way to use my ipod as bluetooth headphones?
Thanks,
Zevie

Bluetooth in the iPod touch is only for connecting to Bluetooth Stereo headphones. It can't connect to a Mac.
To be honest, I think you'll always get a bit of audio lag trying to stream audio over Bluetooth or Wifi to the iPod touch and then ot through headphones (even if its possible).
At the risk of asking a silly question, why can't you just connect your iPod headphones to the headphone port on your Mac (with an extension cable if its too far away), or get some Bluetooth headphones to connect to your Mac?

    On the computer you should be able to go to the network properites. Go to the TCP part and unchec the line that says obtaind DNS automatically and check the one that says use the following. Add the 8.8.8.8 and Google other 8.8.4.4.

  • Connecting a used ipod touch

    Hello,
    I've just bought a used iPod Touch (4th generation) off ebay, and can't get it to connect to my windows computer. When I turn it on the iPod shows a screen with a cable pointing to the iTunes logo. When I plug it in to the computer nothing happens; it doesn't show up in My Computer or in iTunes. Does anybody have any advice?
    Thanks.

  • IPod touch 2.0 firmware and Audio Books

    Hi, it was an interesting day trying to upgrade yesterday
    That aside now that I am using 2.0 my iPod touch won't play my Audio Book for George Orwells 1984. It is a 9+ hour Audio Book all in one file. The iPod looks like it's going to play the file, then flips the image, and then slides back to my selection screen.
    The file plays perfectly in my iTunes but once again fails when I remove and then resync the file on my iPod. I converted this Audio Book file from mp3 format and at first thought that might be the problem (although it played fine with the 1.1.4 firmware). As a test I formatted another mp3 Audio Book in the natural iPod Audio Book format. This smaller (2 hour) file played fine.
    As a secondary test I converted 1984 into smaller chapters and unsurprisingly they all played fine individually. My gripe is that I don't want to have to remember what chapter I'm on when I go back to listen to my Audio Book. I feel like this might have to do with the sheer length of time the Audio Book spans but I am disappointed that it worked so well in firmware 1.1.4 and is failing to work at all in 2.0.
    I'm just throwing this out there hoping someone can give me some insight about what to do. As it stands I'm considering dropping back to 1.1.4 because I'm also having considerable issues properly syncing my calendars, which is one of my favorite things about iPod touch.
    Thanks sincerely,
    Gregor

    Hi Gregor,
    Holidaze posted a similar problem and I responded in length to that one. I have the same problem. In a nutshell I did some testing and narrowed it down a little bit. I can play up to a 1.6 megabyte file(5 cds of mp3s that I converted over) but when I tried a 1.9 megabyte file (6 cds of converted mp3s) it doesn't work (same problem as you with the sliding back to the previous screen). So somewhere between 1.6 and 1.9 megabyte file it gets too big for the new firmware. Sounds like a bug to me. I don't know why they would purposefully remove functionality so surely it is a bug.

  • Updating a used Ipod touch

    We bought a used Ipod touch for my son.  I was able to sync it to my iTunes.  We are not able to download any apps.  It says that we don't have the most current software.  When I connect the Ipod to my PC an iTunes - I click on check for updates and it says that there are none.  I've also tried going under Settings, General but there is no software updates located there.  Any ideas??  Thanks!!

    To update
    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows

    Identifying iPod models
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

    If any of you are like me, I had one single AppleID under MobileMe.  Under my AppleID I had two additional Email addresses, one for my wife and one for her Mother.  Each used their individual email accounts on their login on the home Mac and on their individual Iphones.
    In order for them to not lose their email acounts when mobileMe goes away and/or you move your appleID acount from MobileMe to iCloud, you simply need to beaware of the folowing.  Have each person with an email address under your AppleID MobileMe go to www.me.com; enter their email account and password in the corresponding fields.  However, don't press the login button. Instead press the sentence under the login fields that says something to the effect of "do you want to move/migrate to iCloud.  Follow the prompts from there.
    In essence what Apple has done--albeit not communicated anywhere--is that they automatically created AppleIDs for each of those additonal email addresses you have/had under MobileMe.  Therefore, use that email and password after moving from MobileMe to iCloud and your good to go.

    I am thinking of purchasing used ipod touch 2nd gen, will i be able to load from my macbook?  What do i need to know prior to purchasing used?

    Your problem will be that AppleTV only has HDMI and optical output - no analogue out so unless say you had a B&W Zeppelin or similar that has optical in you'd need something esle to decode the audio to ananlogue.
    Some have also reported AppleTV not working for audio when TV is off or in standby.
    You may be better off having both!

  • I'm using ipod touch for a year now. I was using this morning and suddenly the ipod doesn't work at all maybe it got wet from my bag but there wasn't wet stuff in there. and itunes said iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. please help me

    I'm using iPod touch for a year now. It was doing fine this morning but in the afternoon suddenly when I took it out of my bag, the screen was just black and it wouldn't turn on and stuff. So I thought it didn't have battery so I charged it didn't work. I plugged to the computer and it said iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before in can be used with iTunes.
    Maybe my bag was little wet today but i don't think that is why.. since it wasn't that bed.. just some paper was wet and stuff..
    What should I do..? Please help me.

    I bought a used ipod touch.  The music on it was not my taste.  I found a delete feature and EVERYTHING is gone.  How do I get the icons back and start over?

    If you did not yet connect with iTunes, you can place any music from your library back into your iPod from the computer. When set to automatically manage usic and videos, whatever iTunes finds changed in your music app will be reset to what is on your computer iTunes library.

  • I bought a used iPod touch and when I try to set up my iCloud account, it says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this device. Is there a way around this?

    I bought a used iPod touch and when I try to set up my iCloud account, it says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this device. Is there a way around this? I thought I could maybe set up the account on my PC and go from there, but it won't let me do that. It is forcing me to set up on the iPod. Am I doomed to have no iCloud account because I opted for a used device?

  • Can iPod touch 5g connect to an audio amplifier via lightning to 30 pin adaptor and through a 30 pin to RCA cable adaptor

    Can the iPod touch 5g connect to an audio amplifier via lightning to 30 pin adaptor and through a 30 pin to RCA cable adaptor? It works on the latest iPod nano but it doesn't on iPhone 6. I have spoken to the apple reseller sales personnel but he has no clue.

    If it works on the 7G Nano and does not on the iPhone 6 I would not expect it to work on the 5G iPod..
