Is there a case for the iPod touch that can take a SIM card and provide data functionality over wifi or through the FreedomPop has a case for fourth-gen iPod touches, but not the fifth-gen model. They also sell 3G/4G Wi-Fi hotspots. http://www.freedompop.com/

Yeah, that's pretty much the kind of thing I was thinking, but I am not in the States right now. I was hoping something similar to this but unbranded and for the 5G existed. Also, do those mobile hotspots pass the GPS signal to the iPod?

I think the ipod only sees podcasts in the podcasts app or folder. They don't show in regular playlists

Not so far as I know, no. Is there a reason you need a SIM card and GPS? You mentioned data only over wifi, I would have thought a data plan was what you needed but I assume not. If you need to be able to use a phone there are plenty of VOIP apps available, some of them will even give you a real phone number (Pinger, Fongo in Canada, etc).

I don't need a phone number or ability to call, just mobile data. There are just too many apps that use location (coarse and fine) along with data, and they'd be hamstrung with no GPS.

Just bought a 160 gb classic to replace my dying and old 80 gb. I'm having trouble syncing it or even putting music on it at all, it seems iTunes 9+ acts really strange with Classics? It constantly gives me errors and gives up, or takes like 45 seconds per song to transfer, and then normal speed, then slow again, then errors out. Is there a way to go from iTunes 11 to iTunes 8 without losing 5,000+ ratings etc?

I have a question about ipod suffles. I have been through a number of different ipods my latest one to break was a refurbished nano which pretty much suited me perfectly. I only use them for podcasts, never music. The shuffle is all I can really afford right now. When it says it speaks the title of the thing you are playing is there any way of seeing if you have listened to that before? What I mean is with podcasts often being an hour or more I will listen to them in stages and often skip between them. Is there any way of showing if a podcast has been listened to or not?

I got my first iphone when the 3GS came out and later upgraded to a 4S. A couple months ago my company got me a crapberry that can act as a wifi router. Since I have an LTE ipad I figured I could just dump the iphone and use the ipad for apps and the blackberry for text and calls. I did that and it's been 2 months and it kinda sucks. I can't just whip the ipad out on a whim and do something during the various little down times during the day, especially at work. For one it's too big to carry everywhere and secondly I don't need any odd looks from people when I'm on the job. It's also not something I want to lug around in stores, bars, restaurants, out and about around town, etc. Don't get me wrong, I love my ipad but it's only really useful during extended downtimes or at home. I could just get another iphone and pay the $80 a month again, which I'm still considering. The other option is to get an iPod touch and tether it my blackberry. I tried it on my ipad and it works ok, not as fast as LTE but it worked. The feature also drains the battery pretty quickly but I can pop a new battery in the BB if I need to (though that means more crap in my pocket). I'm afraid I'm going to get a touch and just wish I had an iphone again. Does anyone here constantly tether their touch to a mobile hot spot? Does it workout ok for you?

Can't find a straight answer to this from googling, so I'm hoping someone in here will be able to easily answer this. I'm giving a 120gb iPod Classic to someone (model from several years ago). I don't have iTunes installed, nor can I find a connector cable for the device. Is there a way I can reset it to as-new factory settings and erase the link with my old iTunes (and all my music), without connecting it to my PC? Or failing that will he at least be able to do it (once he buys the appropriate cable) on his machine? I presume it won't let him sync it until the link with my account is erased.

Would have liked to have given it to him all fresh and ready to go, but as long as he can do it himself that's fine. So if he connects it up it should say something along the lines of that it's linked to another account, but that he can do a restore and then sync it with his own account?

Anyone with a 7th gen iPod nano have any suggestions on water resistant/proof cases, that aren't sports armbands? My girlfriend wants something she can drop in her pocket or stuff in her bra (or clip to the strap, for that matter,) at work, that will protect it from splashes, rain, etc. She obviously can't wear a giant LOOK AT MY IPOD AREN'T I TRENDY WHILE I'M OUT RUNNING armband at work, and none of the regular cases I've found seem to speak to any degree of water resistance...

I was looking at adding at GPS to my ipod touch 5th gen (I don't own or want a phone) and came across Bad Elf. http://gps.about.com/gi/o.htm?zi=1/...gps-1008-detail I would mainly use it for apps, like zombie run, sky guide/etc. From what I've seen, it got pretty good reviews on amazon, but I haven't talked to anyone that has actually used it. Is it worth the money or is there a better one out there? Or should I just save my money all together?

I have a second generation iPod nano and I was wondering if I can charge it via mains plug like I see people doing with iPhones and stuff. I've only ever charged it by putting the USB cable into a PC. Since I'm going away to America in a couple of months, it would be really handy to be able to charge it without a PC or laptop. The thing that's making me doubt is that you have to specifically hit "eject" on iTunes before it will let you unplug it. And there'd be no way to do that if it was wired up to the mains.

It's worked fine with my pod touch too. I'm pretty sure the "eject" button is only there to stop problems in case the device is transferring files between it and the computer.

You'll need an Apple ID, nothing else. And so it is. I skipped registering for iCloud on initial setup. When I eventually signed in to the iPod with my Apple ID, all was well with the world. Is there any chance the iPod touch will be dropped by Apple in the near future? I'd hate to think so - I don't want to use my phone as my music player until battery life improves by several orders of magnitude.

I don't think they'll drop it. Why would you be worried about music draining the battery? I don't know what it's at now but the original iPhone could play music for 24 hours before it ran out of juice. Calls, the screen, and wifi are the real drainers. I think my iPod classic gets something crazy like 48 hours.

I apologize if these questions are stupid as hell but combing through the internet for answers is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I made the mistake of letting my girlfriend borrow my iPod touch and she upgraded the software on it so now it forces me to use iTunes 11. I was using 10 previously and manually managing my music, where I could easily just drag and drop individual songs. Now in iTunes 11 I just can't figure out how to get that same functionality. I have 'manually manage music and videos' checked, but when I click 'Music' under my iPod in the sidebar and try to drag & drop files there it won't allow me to (there's the little red circle with the slash through it). I'm sure it's something incredibly obvious, but I'm too dumb to figure it out. Any help would be much appreciated edit: nevermind, think I figured it out, just some syncing issue. Now the latest thing driving me insane is how any time you click out of your music and then click back into it, it automatically resets to the top of the list instead of keeping your place like the previous version of iTunes did.

What a good solution for getting my ipod Nano 7th Generation fixed? I broke the screen on the way to get some food the other day (which that was a bad idea for other reasons) and while it less then a year old, I guess it pointless to take it up the Apple Store since they don't cover accidental repairs. I see options to buy a replacement glass online for 20, but I had enough bad memories trying to repair the PSP's bad screen to ever want to try this again.
