| | Posted: | | | | So, do you need wi-fi to add to the collection? Or, frankly, must you have wi-fi to make this app work?
Right now that's how it seems to me, making the app absolutely frigging useless.
I'm even perfectly willing to enter my entire collection manually, since I can't sync the ipod with my desktop, but tapping on "add to my collection" only gets me "searching for results" and never any results. | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

| | Posted: | | | | What are some of the UPCs that you are trying that it isn't finding? Have you changed your locality to only search the appropriate locality.
You do not need Wi-fi to make it work. If you have a device with 3G, you can synch that way. Or you can manually enter your collection like you are trying to do. | | | | Invelos Software, Inc. Representative |

| | Posted: | | | | I just started at the top of my list by title. That would be 2 Million Minutes, which also doesn't have a UPC (I entered it by disc ID when I contributed). | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

| | Posted: | | | | To add titles directly on the device (other than manual entries), an Internet connection is required - either wifi or 3G will work. | | | | Invelos Software, Inc. Representative | | | | Last edited: by Ken Cole |

| | Posted: | | | | The app would be huge if the entire database was loaded on it. The current way makes the most sense. |

| | Posted: | | | | That's very true. I just wish there was some way for me to connect/use the app, without having to have a wi-fi connection. I was very much looking forward to it - it's the entire reason I got an itouch, though I've enjoyed it's musical capabilities - and it looks really really cool, I went ahead and bought it ... and I can't do anything with it, unless I plan to spend my entire off day some time sitting in Panera, or buy a wi-fi router that I'll have no other use for. It's just very, very disappointing. | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

If you setup WiFi you won't be disappointed anymore... Guaranteed!!!!! Plus all the other functions of the iPod Touch that wi-fi will allow other than just syncing DVD Profiler; seems like more than enough reason to pick up a router. | | | | Last edited: by zarquon7 |

| | Posted: | | | | If you already have a router for cable, it may already have wi-fi.
If you have a network switch to allow you to network multiple computers together, you can pick up a wi-fi hotspot (not a router) to allow wireless devices onto your network.
If you have dial-up and it shows the modem in your Network Connections under "Start > Settings" and you have a built-in LAN card, you may be able to bridge the two together and plug a wi-fi hotspot to the LAN connection. A bridge will allow the wi-fi hotspot to share the dial-up connection. It's been AGES since I used dial-up so this is just guessing. |
