Installing the library on OSX was easier than I thought: path and startup under preferences.
Now I can create the objects. But... I still cannot open all the patches that I downloaded from the TouchOSC-site and Williams patch has the same problems. I just get a watch as mouse pointer. I can open and make new or other patches while this is going on but nothing happens. When I try it again sometimes PD crashes.

I did get a new patch to work. Basically I used the same objects as William described in his first reply ( that would be [udpreceive 8000], [unpackOSC], [print x] ) but to get a connection going I first had to connect from PD to the iPhone with the following comment and object:

[ connect 192.168.1.2 9000 \
|
[udpsend]

I hope this will help Richie as well.

Cheers,

Wilf

Thanks for the replies. I will comment on some quotes below:

OSCulator is really fantastic, yes.  In this case though, I think it's
easier to keep things streamlined and route everything in Pd.  I
didn't think of it until your reply, Richie, but I made this
abstraction for touchOSC's "simple" layout.  Just invoke it with a
port number [ipad-interface 8000] and you'll get all the parsed data
flowing to well-named sends.  For instance, to get the data from fader
4 on page 1 of the simple layout, you can receive from [r
ipad-8000-p1-fader4].  Comb through the rest of the patch to see how
other sends are named.

- Thanks. I will install the mrpeach library (I have updated my SVN-folder although I haven't used it in PD yet) and try your patch.

My problem with TouchOSC was getting it to see my laptop. I haven't been
able to set up a network with just the laptop and TouchOSC (though I haven't
tried for a while) this is supposed to work though.
As far as using OSC in Pd check out the mrpeach library. It is awesome.
I'm sure it's possible to get the OSC data to come straight into Pd but in
regards to getting those messages all nice and neat and easy I recommend
OSCulator (I have no connection to guy making it, I just like it). It's
third party software. Very easy to use and works very well. It's OSX only.
I've used OSCulator for wiimotes and wacom tablets... I'm not really using
OSC at the moment, so I haven't had a chance to give TouchOSC a good going
over yet, but OSCulator does support TouchOSC.
Hope that helps.

- Somehow I got the patch working once without any library-installation... I don't know how but now I know that it's not part of the normal extended because when I try to reproduce Richies patch PD prints "...couldn't create".

I have also downloaded and will buy OSCulator and got it up and running, I got it to control iTunes via Applescript (Apples native Remote app has issues here) and QLab. I also got LiveControl running to control ... Ableton Live.

My first attempt with TouchOSC and PD got a good connection too as print was working overtime with the xyz-axis. This was via direct connection via UDP from iPhone to PD. The hostname is mycomputer.local and I used outgoing port 8000.

I have recently purchased TouchOSC on the iPhone and have succesfully
controlled Ableton Live with LiveControl and iTunes and other programs with
OSCulator (AppleScript).

When I try the PD-examples from http://hexler.net/software/touchosc I have
no succes. When I want to open the .pd file with the most recent version of
PD extended (0.42.5) I get the old watch and nothing happpens. This is also
the case with older PD's I use.

I got the 'basic.pd' up and running before I installed one of the other
programs (LiveControl or OSCulator or TouchOSC Editor) but cannot remember
which one.

I know that the .pd files have a prefilled [OSCreceive] (don't remember
the correct syntax) with port 8000. OSCulator has a default port of 8000 as
well. So I tried a cold boot and did not start up any other program than PD.
Even this did not help.

Could this be the problem?

Are there more people working with TouchOSC and PD? Can someone help me
trying to make a new OSCreceive from scratch with the correct syntax?

System specs: iOS4.2.1 on iPhone 3G - OS X 10.6.6 on late 2008 15" MBP.
All software is up to date.

Thanks in advance!

Greets,

Wilfred
