with imessage on the ipod touch can i use my own cellphone number

No. You have to use an email address. You can use your Apple ID email address and you can also add other email addresses. To add go to Settings>Messages and add the email address to the the Receive At location.

  • What's wrong with videos in the iPod touch?

    Videos added to my iPod touch won't show up in iTunes. Thus, not only can I not know what videos I have from iTunes but, because of this, the only way to delete videos is from the iPod touch.
    I have a word around where I can create a playlist and put all my videos there. Unfortunately, I still can't delete them from iTunes because that will only remove them from the playlist.
    Finally, I'm afraid to modify any tag information for my videos. It takes an unacceptably long time for the information to update and you can corrupt your video if you cancel it with the stop button on the progress dialog. Seriously, it takes about as long as the video to update the tag of a video. So, an hour long video can take an hour to update the tag information.
    I've done a search and, so far, no one has described this strange behaviour. Do I just have a defective iPod touch?
    Thank you...

    No, I haven't. If simply adding videos to my iPod is so buggy, I'm afraid at what a complicated procedure like synching might do. I feel like the iPod is so delicate that any unexpected input will corrupt it irrevocably. I've already had to reset it due to data corruption (which wasn't fun)...
    If the device can't deal with manually added videos, why do they let us? Why not force us to synch like with photos? It's tempting to try to return it except that this can't be anything other than a software problem and no one else seems to have this issue. Am I the only person on Earth who doesn't sync? It's interesting that you automatically assumed that I was doing so. So much so that you interpreted my post as describing some form of synching, as if there was no other way to use one's iPod.
    I'm fairly disappointed in this infernal device...

  • I have just bought a 1st generation Ipod touch, can I use my Ipod shuffle accessories for this or do I need to buy ipod touch accessories?

    Can you use the same accessories from ipod shuffle to ipod touch?

    The headphones will work with the iPod Touch.  For charging and syncing yo will have to purchase a cable for the iPod Touch since one end of the cable has to have a 30-pin dock connector.  The Shuffle uses a different connecotr.

  • Do I have to have an apple USB power adapter to charge the ipod or can i use one for a htc phone?

    Read the cell phone user manual to see if the charger can charge an iPod Nano.

  • What is wrong with "Safari" on the iPod Touch?

    Safari closes and my iPod Touch goes back to home on an awful lot of sites I like to visit while the page is loading.Why can Safari deal with sites I navigate to and "Safari" on the Touch cannot? Obviously they are not as much the same as touted.
    Is anyone else finding this to be an issue? I cannot even load these support pages without it aborting. Here is another site I go to that aborts: www.worldofwarcraft.com
    Why is this happening? I have tried everything from clearing history/cookies to a complete reset of the thing.

    in addition:
    no support for real player or windows media streaming - eg. can't listen to radio
    web pages not retained for long - annoying if web-app (eg. games) loaded that don't need Internet anymore
    only 8 open web pages allowed - why?
    no autocomplete of urls (would save typing) - can use history though but extra step

  • Ipod nano...and now getting the ipod touch, can this be done ?

    on our pc I have itunes for my ipod nano....hubby is getting an ipod touch but will be using his laptop to set up a new itunes
    can we use each others itunes for downloading some music ? what I mean is
    PC has loads of golden oldies
    LAPTOP will have lots of new downloads
    can the iphone be used on the PC and the LAPTOP and have all the music from both itunes, or will it be one or the other ?
    thanks in advance

    *.its not giving me any option to take songs from the nano on to my laptop itunes,*
    That would be correct, iTunes will only give you the facility to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

  • Does anyone know how to permanently delete emails with attachments on the ipod touch?

    Hey guys, a few months ago I sent an email from my cell to my ipodtouch(I have the newest model) to a friend(she has a older model) does anyone know if you delete the email by clicking on trash then will it be non recoverable? Thanks

    You will need to empty also trash to be sure. The email and the attachment will not be on iPod but may be a copy will still be on a server of your provider according to the system he uses (IMAP or POP3) and according to the preferences you have set on the mail programs (leave message on the server... delete it after a date or after deleting it from inbox or... there are many possibility).
    If the mail message is still on a server teoretically you can download it again from the iPod or even another computer.. of course knowing your account settings and password.
    What is not clear in your message: you mention 3 devices: sent thge mail from your cell (1) to your iPod (2) and/or to your friend (3).
    Added later: you will also need to check the SentMessage Folder because a copy of the mail could also be there if you sett to keep a copy there.
