| | Posted: | | | | Okay, so I got a 32 gb itouch from my shop (will trade in my 8 gb and keep the 32 if I can make the app work). How ... or even can ... I sync my collection? I do not have any wireless internet in my home. I have cable internet connected to my computer via an ethernet cable. I have the itouch connected to the computer via the cable that comes with it. Can I sync it with this? If not, is there a way for me to sync my desktop profiler collection to the itouch app? If there is, please explain it in extremely simple terms - I am not a hardware tech person. I saw Ken's post, once, that I thought said you could do it without wireless. But then he used technical words and my brain shut down. Help?  | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

| | Posted: | | | | For now you can only sync wirelessly (i.e. WiFi or 3G) with DVD Profiler running on a PC system as host. Unfortunately, since the iPod Touch only has WiFi, you have to wait until syncing with the online collection is implemented in a future version of the app.
But WiFi routers aren't that expensive anymore. You can get a fairly good one for about 20€ (~ $26). | | |

| | Posted: | | | | My desktop is where DVD Profiler lives. I have no desire/need for wi-fi in house.....Unless Santa gives me an iPad for Christmas  But, my laptop has wi-fi built in. Perhaps this might work... http://alaashaker.wordpress.com/2009/03/27/connecting-your-iphone-to-your-laptop-using-a-wireless-ad-hoc-network-iphone/ ...after installing Profiler on the laptop of course. | | | | Last edited: by pn |

...after installing Profiler on the laptop of course. Great suggestion! Didn't know this works with all wireless network cards... | | |

| | Posted: | | | | The touch doesn't have 3G so you will need wi-fi to connect it. However, it doesn't have to be wi-fi at your house. You can set your desktop to be connectible from the Internet (make sure to select a strong password and use the Test button to ensure it's set up correctly). Then, the touch can sync from any Internet wi-fi location. | | | | Invelos Software, Inc. Representative |

| | Posted: | | | | My only neighbor that has wi-fi is Bullet County EMS. Doubt I can just go over there and use their wi-fi.
It looks like my option for sync is what Ken said ... I could use the wi-fi at the Panera near where I work.
Or, I could just enter everything manually. That might just be easier. | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.
