Wireless Internet Sharing with iPod touch - email yes, web no ???!?!?!!

Okay - I really don't understand this!
I'm using the following constellation: My MacMini ist connected by an Ethernet Cable to an AEB, which is used as the Internet Router (exactly: it brigdes the Internet connection). The Mini itself is surfing the Web fine. Now I opened the build-in Airport for Internet Sharing (using Ethernet; connecting through Airport). This is working nicely, when I connect to this Airport-Network with my MacBook Pro.
But now, there is the problem: When try to use this connection with my iPod touch, I cannot open any website! Neither is You Tube working nor any of the Widgets. Buuuuut - I can send and receive emails without problems!
Any explanation? Any help?
Thanks!

I have a similar problem - trying to share the internet connection of my MBP via airport to my ipod touch. It works sometimes. Directly after activating Internet Sharing it can load a page or two, then it usually gets stuck.
At the (apple certified) store around the corner, they were able to reproduce the problem, but said it is a software problem, rather than an airport issue.
There is another thread about random behaviour with internet sharing: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1164535&tstart=0
On a friends iBook, the same thing works perfectly...
My initial guess was a wrong mtu value - but couldn't fix it so far...

WRT54GC Wireless router problem with iPod touch and Ipad

Hi
I have a WRT54GC wireless router and both my ipod touch and ipad can connect to the network. They can both use the internet for like one minute and then the internet becomes very slow, and dies. Network connections are lost and I'm getting messages like 'can't connect to itunes' or 'lost connection with youtube'. The wireless router works fine for the laptops in the house (all windows). In the house where I live in the week (closer to my school) there is another router and i don't have the problem over there, also no problem to connect to my schools wireless network... So I think it's a combination problem of apple products and that router. I've tried a lot, like resetting network configuration, updating firmware, changing from wpa to wep1,... Anyone an idea?
Thank you
Bert

oh and the connection to the router isn't lost.
Thank you

Does rogers have wireless internet for an ipod touch?

i have an ipod touch but internet doesnt work on it...

Hi,
What's "Rogers?" Try resetting your iPod's network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Also, are you connected to a strong Wi-fi signal?
Hope this helps!

Sharing internet with iPod touch

Now, what I have is a MacBook with OS 10.5.4 installed and my Internet connection is through cable modem and it's a Ethernet Connection and I want to share my Internet through Airport with my iPod Touch.
I have followed the instruction about "Sharing your Internet connection", but it is still not work.
In my iPod touch, I can see the IP Address 168.254.13.167 and the Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0 only. The Router and DNS is blank. Also when I open the safari with iPod touch, the error message " Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server" is shown. Why is that? Please help me and sorry for my english.

Try unplugging the cable modem, wait, and then plugging it in again.
-----> I tried, but it's still not work
Is this your system: cable modem -> Airport (expess? extreme?) ---- Macbook / iPod Touch?
------> For my system, cable modem -> Macbook (Airport extreme)
Is there another router in the picture? The 168.254.13.167 IP address doesn't look like an Apple IP. It should look like 10.XX.XX.XX.
-------> what do you mean of "in the picture"
Also the System Preferences>Network>AirPort, in the Status field, is said "the AirPort has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet. "

Help on syncing multiple calendars with iPod Touch 4g 64g

In our university, we use iCal with Blackboard. Also, our main *email* is Entourage - pretty sure it's the most recent version for Mac.
How can we sync the Entourage calendar with iCal, and be sure that they are all merged and 2-way functional for the iPod touch and laptops (I know for multiple computers we'll have to set up home sharing - for now let's just focus on the calendar syncing).
I have instructions for syncing Entourage with iPod Touch, and it's been recommended to use Google to sync with iCal (thanks llllass) but we don't want to use Google or MobileMe to get to iCal. iCal is already built into the iPod Touch, as I'm sure you know.
Any advice on how to make this super simple?
Thanks in advance.

My first suggestion is to try Stanza, as it is a much more configurable ebook reader. You can use the
Calibre (ebook management/conversion utility) to transfer ebooks from your computer to your iPod Touch.
<http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30657/calibre>
Looking at iBooks on my iPod Touch, my font selection and font size are only present when I have an ebook open. If I tap the center of a page, the top edge of the screen has
Library | Table of Contents | Brightness | aA (font size, and font selection) | Search | Bookmark
Where the aA icon brings up a control that has a small a and a large A. If I tap on the large A, each tap increases the font size until it gets REALLY BIG. Tapping on teh small a reduces the font size for each tap.
Landscape lock. OK for the iPod Touch as a whole, you put the iPod Touch in the orientation you desire, then you quick double-tap on the home button. This will bring up a list of your running apps. Now slide the list to the right, and you will see music controls as well as on the far left a screen lock button. Tap the screen lock button to lock your iPod Touch in its current orientation. Unlock it later when you want your iPod Touch to be able to rotae again.
NOTE: Stanza as an ebook reader, it has its own configuration control that locks Stanza into a specific orientation, independent of the iPod Touch orientation or the iPod Touch orientation lock. Another reason I like Stanza.
Wallpaper. I think you can only change it to something else. Settings -> Wallpaper, then tap on the screen you want to change. Now select a different Wallpaper from either the Wallpaper selections, or anything in your Camera Roll, or your Photo Library.

Airport Extreme with iPod Touch? But 2 floors of concrete & Brick Walls??

Qwik-Question: Can Airport Extreme penetrate brick and 2 floors of thick concrete to reach my iPod Touch on the upper floor??
_FULL DETAILS:_
Hello! I have been using Macs since 1989 and should be a pro by now-- but things have advanced so much that...
...that I use Apple Discussions regularly!
+OK I have a wired ethernet with a cable modem going to a D-Link Router, going to a switch with a MacBook, G4733 and PBG4-12" (i.e. PB-Helium!)(Loveit) plus 2 ethernet printers-- in my basement office, then nothing on the "ground" floor, but another "switch" on the next floor above (in the US this would be the second floor; but in Europe it would be #1, with Ground Floor "0" and basement "-1").+ On the upper floor is an iMac (2005) and cables to attach other Macs/PC's as needed.
Primarily I want WIRELESS so that my iPod Touch with the January 2008 software update is able to access the www for eM and weather and stocks etc. I've tried this via borrowing a neighbor's WiFi (with his permission) last week-- worked fine! (His PC wireless was located on an upper floor, not the basement!)
Other reasons for going wireless-- (i)using my PB or MB on the "ground" floor (no cable there); and (ii)when my daughter visits-- with her VISTA PC (although we've had problems when she uses a cable in my home network-- VISTA kicks-out the Macs after a while and I have to re-initialize the D-Link Router!!!)
(NOTE: I plan to keep my printers and the current MB / PB / G4733 primarily on the wired network - I assume I can do this, i.e. have both wired and wireless and choose which I want when I want it?)
_AND NOW THE KEY QUESTION IS:_ *WILL THE 2 LAYERS OF CONCRETE AND BRICK IN THIS BELGIAN HOUSE ATTENUATE THE SIGNAL SO MUCH THAT I CANNOT USE WIFI WITH THE ITOUCH FROM THE TOP FLOOR??*
And if so, what is the best solution?
1. Just install an Apple Extreme in basement and pray?
2. Somehow attache the Apple Extreme to the upstairs switch (is that possible??)
3. Someone said that an "airport" may be better for this than an Apple Extreme? Why??
4. Other-- a repeater i.e. Apple Extreme in basement with a "repeater" somewhere (ground floor?)
I really am not sure-- and would be disappointed if I spent $200 (is that the price? Likely more in Europe in Euros!) for an Apple Extreme in the basement and then find the signal is not available on the top floor...
Thanks for any comments, references etc.
Best regards,
Steve Saturday 8 March 2008

No problem with iMac, MacBook Air, but no joy with iPod touch

I switched ISP last week, and while I was able to link Mail with a MacBook Air, I hit disaster when I tried to do likewise with iPod Touch. I have my email with one ISP, but the new ISP gives me better broadband, and so I must use their SMTP. At first I had no problem as I inserted the correct Incoming and outgoing settings. Now I can't get past the first step of the new account box. That box throws up a webmail address I never had, and an Stmp I dispensed with last week. When I proceed to insert the correct settings, I get a message that my email service won't work. At my wits end with this. Can anyone help? Please.
Pat (Dublin)

Do the incoming and outgoing mail server settings match those of what is shown on your MacBook Air?
Have you seen this page?

Does it coast money to have Internet on the iPod touch?

Does it coast money to have Internet on an iPod touch?

Indirectly, yes it does but it probably will not affect you. The iPod must connect to a WiFi system that, in turn, connects to an "ISP" (Internet Service Point). IF you already have an Internet connection for your computer, the Internet modem/router probably has WiFi capability and the iPod communication piggy-backs onto the link to the ISP. In that case, Internet connectivity for the iPod is no extra cost.
If you do not have Internet connectivity for a computer or anything else, you must obtain it and, in that case, you will incur an extra cost.

Portable DVD Player Compatable with iPod touch?

Does anyone know of a portable DVD player compatible with iPod touch that has a reasonable battery life? Philips makes a portable DVD player - the DCP 851 - that has an iPod touch dock, but the battery life is only 2.5 hrs. There are several other portable DVD players out there with substantially longer battery lives (Panasonic has one with a 13 hr. battery life), but generally they don't seem to be compatible with an iPod (most appear to only have A/V input through a mini jack, and I can't seem to find an iPod-to-mini jack converter). Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

It will only require that you change the security and password on your other devices. Apple devices work much better with WPA, and WPA is far more secure than WEP.
It should be relatively simple to re-configure the router's wireless security to use WPA2 or WPA Personal security. WPA passwords do not require any special characters like WEP does. Once you re-configure the router all you need do is make the appropriate changes in your other devices to use WPA security and enter the new password.

Outlook 2010 Syncing With iPod Touch and iPad

I have a PC with Outlook 2003 that sync’s with iPod Touch and iPad. I plan to buy a new PC with Windows 7 and Outlook 2010. Comcast tells me they don’t support Outlook (They support Outlook Express) but Outlook 2003 currently works fine on my PC with Windows XP. I have the following questions:
- . Is there an alternative to Outlook 2010 that will sync with my iPod Touch and iPad?
- Will Outlook Express sync with my iPod Touch and iPad and is Outlook Express still available?
- What is Microsoft Exchange?
Thanks for your help. LCP

Just look at page 26 of the new US) users guide. It specifically says that the iPad syncs with Outlook 2010 (as well as 2003 and 2007). However, Comcast's mail help page only lists OL 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2007.

Problems with Ipod Touch

Problems with iPod Touch.
Hi, I bought an ipod touch in Colombia a couple of months ago but lost the invoice, I tried using it but everytime I connect the iPod to the computer, it restarts over and over again, I've tried all the recommendations show in the Apple support site, but no method has proved the question is, I can take this ipod to a Mac store in the U.S. for repair or change.
I live in Venezuela, there is some Apple store in my country where I can take it.
Thanks in advance for your quick response

You should be able to go to the USA for warrantee service. If you purchased at an Apple store you should be able to go to your account in iTunes and see the purchase. I am confused by your statement:
"I live in Venezuela, there is some Apple store in my country where I can take it."
If you go to the Venezuela apple website you can see if/where there are Apple stores.

How can I use Internet Sharing with Firewall on ?

Hi,
My PowerMac G5 is connected to the internet via Ethernet. I share the connection to a Powerboog via Airport using internet sharing. Everything is working fine except when I turn the Firewall on. After reading http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107653 I tried opening port 443 but it still does'nt work. I'd like to be able to use internet sharing with the firewall on. Anyone can help me ? Thanks!

Hmmm, how curious... I never had to do that in 10.4.7 or 10.4.8... the only ones I ever tried Internet Sharing with.
I'm wondering if turning the Firewall on after the Internet sharing is what's doing it? Just for kicks you might try turning off Internet Sharing, then Firewall on, then turn on Internet Sharing.
If that doesn't work, then I'd personally try trashing...
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
Then reboot and try the Firewall again.

ITunes U not compatible with iPod touch 4th and 5th generation.

I attempted to subscribe to the course, Moons An Introduction. When opening one of the course books, I get an error message stating I need an iPad to read the book. There is nothing about the course being incompatible with iPod touch. Why can't incompatibility information be included in the course description? What a waste of my time. Please don't advise me to open the book on my computer. I don't want to read a book on my computer. That's why I got an iPod. I'm thinking about getting an iPad, but as soon as I purchase one, it will be outdated. Isn't this a ploy by apple to get people to buy iPads? How many iTunes U courses are like this? The most important book of the course is incompatible.
Thanks,
Brenda Woollard

Thank you, lllaass. Of course, an apple user remarks to this fact in their review. Are all courses going to have reviews attached? Why do I have to read reviews on courses to get this information? Who is writing the review? It's not an apple official. How reliable is information in reviews? I've read reviews that have incorrect information. Why not put the fact that a course is incompatible with iPod right in the course description. It would save a lot of time and wasted bandwidth. Why was the book allowed to be downloaded onto an unsupported device?

Video podcasts no longer sync with iPod Touch

I am using latest version of iTunes 10.1.1 (4) and latest os 10.6.5 on MacBook Pro with iPod Touch (gen 3). I subscribe to a video podcast and in beginning it worked, but for last 2 months though they download into iTunes and I can watch them, they are either not syncing to my iPod or I cannot find them. Before they were in Podcast list along with audio podcasts.

Yeah I noticed some videos we'rent syncing to my iPod 5th Gen now that I switched to Mac, and reformatted my iPod, and was reminded that some items wouldn't transfer. These were certain podcasts, as well as a HD TV Show Episode. (I thought HD TV show purchases came with a SD version for iPod, but maybe it got lost in the transfer or I deleted it sometime)....but WHATEVER:
If you want, you can convert any video file to a format that fits iPod/iPhone, or even iPad/Apple TV, here's how:
Select the video item(s) you wish to make a compressed version for, and click ADVANCED on the menu bar. Then select "Create iPod/iPhone Version" or "Create iPad/Apple TV Version" depending on what you are syncing too. If these options are greyed out, it means it is not necessary to do this as those devices already can support the file as is. iTunes will then convert, and presto, you have a copy which will go onto your device!
