What the iPod touch really needs.

So I may have missed a thread on this... But does it not seem logical that what the the iPod touch really needs bluetooth. I could care less about using bluetooth for audio, synking or anything else but 1 thing...
Given that the iPhone is locked into AT&T wouldn't a bluetooth enabled pone allow you to use bluetooth's networking abilities to share you cell phones data plan? Granted some wireless providers (cough*verizon*cough) cripple there phones and disable this feature. but it would be at least an option to some people.

The ipod touch does not support bluetooth nor does it have bluetooth built into the device. THere are bluetooth adapters that you might use for like headphones but nothing like data transfer and what you mention. If this is a feature you would like on a future ipod then leave your feedback at the link below.

THese forums are for technical questions regarding the ipod touch and not for speculation or rumors. You should go elsewhere for such a thing. If your interested in how bluetooth works on the iphone then it is best to post your question about that product in the right forum linked below.

Does the ipod touch itself need wifi in order to use find my iphone??

My ipod touch 4g got stolen and i have find my iphone turned on but my question is does the ipod itself need wifi to track it down?? I've tried so many times i played sound, i have a passcode lock on it, i even sent a message to my ipod... But i try to locate it, it says it's offline.it down?? if so there's no way to point to try to find it Right??

Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod. If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number). If any passwords are associated with a bank or any other savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. This requires action before the device is lost/stolen. If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

How much can the iPod Touch really hold?

Suddenly my 16GB iPod touch could hold 3000 of my photos, 40 videos and 4500 of my songs. But the album artwork was all wrong so I made the stupid decision of restoring my iPod.
Now I can only fit 2500 photos, home videos which are pretty weak on the MB and I had to compromise the 4500 songs to 4055.
What happened?

yeah it seems that the first restore left some fragmented files or somthing on your touch takin up some space. Another restore couldnt hurt and if it leaves more unuseable space you should look into a replacement cause it looks like a bug.

Is the iPod Touch really worth it ?

I currently have the 30 Gb iPod and I am happy with it - no complaints.
I was thinking for Christmas to treat myself to the 8 or 16 Gig iPod Touch.
I wanted opinions / views of whether people thought that purchasing the NEW iPod Touch was worth it? Perhaps those of you who have it find alot of bugs or issues with it.
Comments / opinions / suggestions are much appreciated!
Thanks!

I would say if you can afford it and are willing to spend the money then without a doubt yes!
I recently went back to my 30GB iPod Video after a couple of weeks on my iTouch and I couldn't believe at just how slow and cumbersome the old one was. Don't be too put off by the 16GB size of the Touch, sure we would all like more, but for me 16GB is plenty at the moment. I have 15 albums with over 350 songs and that only takes up 1.8GB.
Because the memory is Flash, there is no waiting for the HDD to boot up (because there isnt one) which results in instant playing.
The iTouch isnt without its faults, but its miles better than the classic.

What bluetooth protocol does the iPod Touch use with a keyboard?

Hi...
Say, does anyone know what bluetooth protocol apple is using for their bluetooth keyboards for the iPhone and iPod Touch? It is probably HID, but the people at RIM (i.e. BlackBerry) use SPP. So I would think many 3rd party keyboards use SPP (Serial Port Protocol). But, then, there are many posts about "I wish Apple would support SPP" because people want to build apps that interface with external HW that only supports SPP.
What I want to do? (you ask)
I've one of these nice / expensive Think-out-side portable folding keyboards (good). That only has a serial interface (bad). There are many bluetooth "dongles" out there with serial ports (good). But they only support SPP or Serial Port Protocol (bad? maybe? depends).
See, I know RIM (BlackBerry) people support SPP on their devices. But I haven't heard (found) word one about what the iPod Touch supports. I would hate to spend $80 on one of these dongles and find out it doesn't work.
So, what does the iPod Touch use when talking to the bluetooth keyboard?
-thanks

From page 37 of iOS 4.1 Touch Users Guide:
Using an Apple Wireless Keyboard
For ease of typing, you can use an Apple Wireless Keyboard (available separately;
iPod touch 3rd generation or later).

Can you give me some reasons about why I need to buy an iPod touch 5.Although I have the iPhone ,iPod nano, iPad ,MacBook pro,I think the iPod touch 5 is so attractive that I can't help buying it at once.If I have it,what I can do with it,can you tell me?

All I can say is that I REALLY like my Touch 4th gen because I have all sorts of capabilities in a small form: e-mail, web browsing, news, weather, books, magazines, etc. etc. Plus lots and lots of apps out there, including so many free ones. I use the Cloud a lot so it's great to have everything sync'd to my MacBookPro (e-mail, Evernote, Pocket, etc.)
It would be easier, though, to do some of this, especially magazines, on the iPad mini, but, again, I love the small size of the Touch.
As for the 5th gen instead of the 4th, the fifth has Siri and the 3D feature in maps, which are great. And I'm sure it's a lot faster in iOS 6 than the 4th gen. And cool colors!
Don't know if this helps . . .

You have to type in the passcode. If you don't remember the passcode, read here. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen

My iPod touch has no sound when I play music or use the iPod touch at all. Yes, the volume in the "sounds" is all the way up. It has not been dropped or gotten wet. I turned it off and on. now what?

My ipod touch (4th generation) has no sound. I have turned it off and on.....I have the volume up in the "sounds" area. When I push the side volume button, there is no image that appears in the screen that shows that I am either raising or lowering the volume. Do I need to just rest the ipod touch as a new device? Or is there someting else I can try?

And, now when I do press the side volume buttons, the image appears but with the words' "sound effects." what does that mean?

This may be a silly question but how do I get my music from my old ipod to the Ipod touch. when I go to move my music a error pops up saying your music wasn't copied to this ipod because it can not be played on this ipod. what can I do??

You will need to do it using a third-party utility such as Phone to PC. Also, see:

I no longer have an iphone. Do I still need mobile me for the ipod touch?

I no longer have an iphone. Do I need mobileme for my ipod touch?

You didn't need MobileMe for your iPhone either, per se. What was it about the service that caused you to sign up? Was it the "Find My iPhone" service? If so, that would still be perhaps useful for the iPod touch, though since the iPod has no GPS locations may be less accurate.
If that doesn't answer your question, please post back with further information about your needs and what you're asking about.

Whats the Best WiFi Router For The iPod Touch?

Dont know if this is in the right sevtion or not, but feel free to yell at me if its not lol
What is the best brand of WiFi router (e.g. linksys, D-link etc) For the iPod Touch? And are there any bad WiFi routers for the iPod?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!!

I can confirm 4 brands.
Linksys
Netgear
microsoft
Some cheap thing that came with verizon DSL
All have worked without any special configuration for the ipt.
Actually, I don't really think their is a better router, every network I have connected to worked, absolutly no trouble at all.
Btw- this message came from an 1.1.3 ipt via a netgear wireless connection.

What's the point of pre-ordering the iPod touch 5th generation?

What is the advantage if I pre-order the iPod touch, rather than buying it in a few weeks? Is there a price difference?

No price difference. The only advantage is that you'll be able to receive the new version possibly before it hits store shelves. Other than that, there really isn't any.

Hi, i need help, okay..my issues is that since the lastest update for the ipod touch, my music lihow can i get the itunes main music playlist to appear the same on my ipod touch?

Hi, i need help, okay..my issue is that since the lastest update for the ipod touch, my music list is all over the place....my question is how can i get the itunes main music playlist to appear the same on my ipod touch?

Hi Lawrence,
Thanks for your prompt response, however I have first seen it now. I have placed an active SIM card in the iPhone turned it off and on. It now says SIM locked, please write access code. The problem is I don't remember the password. When I connect it to iTunes it tell me that I have to write the password before it can be used with iTunes...... Do you have any good ideas? I see you are from the NYC area.... used to work there back in the early 90´ Those were good days..... What a City

What docking station works with the ipod touch 4th generation?

What docking station is works with the ipod touch 4th generation? We have a Bose docking station which I'm having trouble getting it to fit onto.

Gal:
I'm not exactly clear what your question is.
How does the system you have been given not work with your iPod? What is the problem?
What is your point about the 4th generation adaptor? The "adaptor" is merely a physical piece of plastic that sits in the Docking Station's dock and creates the exact shape for your model of iPod to fit snugly into it. So a 1st or 2nd generation iPod would not benefit in any way from a 4th gen adaptor.
Are you trying to find a portable iPod Docking Station that works without mains power?
You said: " the customer service agent said it would make the iPod fit, but it wouldn't charge or play music." What is your point about charging the iPod? I don't understand what you are trying to say. I presume that the system you've been given does charge a 1st and 2nd gen iPod.
The product you linked to looks portable to me. So why does it not suit your needs, is this about using it out in the garden (my question 2)?
Less complicated in what way? What exactly are you finding complicated? Simply place the iPod into the Docking Station and (presumably) select the iPod input and press play.
