2009-10-19
hey guys what is up it's Duncan and today I'm here with a video I get asked about a lot is how do you make your iPod screen show up on your computer like this it's a very simple just doesn't take any time but I'll get set up and you'd be good to go I mean as you can see here show the whole deal there's a little bit laggy and glitchy but it still works very well and now it's not a big deal basically show you guys how to use VNC to you know sync your computer and your iPod so you can you know use it in screencasts or you can actually use you know actually physically use it by using a mouse to move it's it's pretty cool but yeah so yeah let's go and get this one started okay so let's go ahead and get this started it's very simple very easy you don't you know have to be an elite hacker or lever to get this done basically you're just going to need to do a couple things and you'll be ready to go going to need to download a application in Cydia and then I need to download an application on your computer I don't know if this is for Windows the this is the demo showing you guys on Windows you can't do this on Mac but if you're using a different program it's slightly different so I recommend if you have a Mac probably look for a Mac specific tutorial but I you can use it on either way whatever so once you have once you have you know your computer and your iPod or iPhone it does not matter that basically go ahead and open up cydia now before I begin I will know one thing you do have to have your both your computer and your iPod or iPhone connected to the same Wi-Fi network okay just you know just a heads up on that guys so yeah let's go ahead and get hit go ahead and get you guys ready to roll so basically open up cydia and hit Search okay now once you hit it you're gonna need search VNC but it's not spelt the way you think V EE n see why okay I'll have the link to when I think I'll have it written down in the description exactly how to say that but it's VNC so once you have it go ahead and let it load up and you won't have to add any kind of special sources you you should all you have to just have to search it and it should come right up then once you know just go ahead and look at you can read through it but it's not that important and just go ahead and install it it's pretty simple so now once you have it installed don't be an icon whether it runs in the background so once you have installed yeah you'll be done with your iPod for right now then we go ahead and go over to your computer okay guys so once you have VNC installed on your iPod or iPhone you go ahead and come over to your computer and basically you just need to download this program called tight VNC very simple come down here and like I said I'll have links always in the description and so you need to go ahead and just download tight VNC the current version is point three point one zero go ahead and do it you just do it by going to the download page just first thing you see here just do the self installing package and just real simple just go ahead click it right install and you'll be good to go so once you have tight VNC installed then you're about ready to go so let's go ahead and do the final step okay so once you have type B and C installed doesn't take just a second and you have this page it's very simple totally you don't have to do anything basically but you need to enter the IP address of your iPod or iPhone no-brainer you do need to be sure that it is connected to your Wi-Fi network but and you just need to punch in your IP address if you don't know how to do that it's very simple open up your iPod or iPhone and hit on settings okay then go ahead and go into Wi-Fi and then it will show the list of networks whichever one that you're hooked up to which like I said should be the one that is connected it's your computers case to go ahead and hit that little blue arrow and then the first thing that you'll see it will say IP address new usually like a 1 0-0 ba-ba-ba-ba just a few things so in this case you know you put like 1 0 0 I'm just gonna give you guys an example then the first thing be like 3 4 5 or whatever then be like 1.1 that be sure to put the dots in there and then once you do it you go ahead and hit connect so one second guys let me go ahead and get mine hooked up and yeah way to the next step ok so once you punch in your IP address and you do need to make sure that you got right go ahead punch in your IP address and go ahead and hit connect you will see a little pop up on your iPod or iPhone that says you know incoming connection from your IP address accept or deny go ahead and accept it and basically this is it you see you have your VNC window right here and you know you can go ahead obviously it's recording the screen or you can use your mouse you see right here grab it and pull it just by using your mouse just very cool now there sometimes you can have problems it is a little bit glitchy sometimes occasionally it won't connect so you'll either have to when it doesn't connect check your IP address make sure the IP addresses or you know punched in right and also sometimes just no shutoff tight VNC reboot your iPod or iPhone usually that'll fix it it can be a little glitchy little you know a little odd sometimes but you know 95% of the time it should work just fine now I will say that it's not fast I mean you see here if I scroll across it takes a second to you know to go ahead don't so don't expect miracles I mean you know if you're just sitting there you know showing you're just you know basic stuff like you know you're not really you know doing a lot of I know intense stuff that's you know was gonna be refreshing a lot because it will be pretty slow but besides that you know you guys are good to go feel free to you know use this in a screencast like I'm doing right now or you know you can just have your iPod or iPhone across the way and begin control it from your computer or you know just show off to your friends to do whatever you want don't you guys that's it that's how to control and show your iPod or iPhone screen from your computer so yeah anyways
