Trasfer files to Ipod Touch wirelessly

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

If you are an Ipod Touch user like me, I am sure you noticed that there is no way to transfer files from your computer to Ipod Touch or vice versa manually. It is not like PDA, it come without software cd because Ipod Touch utilise the syncronization tool via iTunes. This mean you have to use iTunes to syncronize music, movie and photo. Futher more, Ipod Touch is not running MAC OS, Windows, nor Linux, it is running on BSD subsystem or so called Unix operating system, that is the reason why we do not have driver for it!

As for me, I would like to use my Ipod Touch for more than that. I want to use my Ipod Touch as a backup drive since it has 16GB :)

How to transfer files to Ipod Touch wirelessly?

Since Ipod Touch come with wifi (802.11b/g), we have to fully utilize it. Through out this tutorial, I will show you how you can transfer your files to and from Ipod Touch via wireless!

On your Computer

First, of course your computer must have a usb wifi adapter just like my TEW-424UB. Plug into your computer and install it’s driver. After install driver, go to the Wireless Connection properties, click on Wireless Network tab and add in Preferred Network. Click on Add, there are 3 important things to do here:

1. Put in your own SSID name that you like

2. Uncheck “the key is provided for me automatically” and put in your own “Network Key”. At least 5 character.
