I'm looking for a method to record the video without actually filming the device. Does such a method exist?
A: Reflection (US$15) turns a (Lion or a | bove) Mac into an AirPlay receiver that can handle mirroring. Once you've got the mirrored display on a Mac, all you need is to capture that video, which is easy.
For example:
*
*Start Reflection on the Mac.
*Turn mirroring on (requires iPad 2 or newer or iPhone 4S or newer), selecting the Mac as the target.

A: There are two ways.

A: The iPod touch does not have a GPS. Finding your iPod Touch throug | h MobileMe requires that your iPod Touch has Wi-Fi turned on and connected. It uses Wi-Fi triangulation to find it.
It is not as accurate as a GPS, but if your iPod touch is around many Wi-Fi access points accuracy will go up.
