Contacts—names, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, and more Â
Calendars—appointments and events Â
Email account settings Â
Webpage bookmarks Â
Music and audiobooks Â
Photos Â
Podcasts Â
Videos Â
Applications purchased or downloaded from the iTunes Store Â
You can adjust sync settings whenever iPod touch is connected to your computer.
6 Chapter 1 Getting Started
Chapter 1 Getting Started 7
Music, audiobooks, podcasts, video content, and purchased applications are synced
from your iTunes library. If you don’t already have content in iTunes, the iTunes Store
(available in some countries) makes it easy to purchase or subscribe to content and
download it to iTunes. You can also add music to your iTunes library from your CDs. To
learn about iTunes and the iTunes Store, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.
Contacts, calendars, and webpage bookmarks are synced from applications on your
computer, as described in the following section. Contacts and calendars are synced
both ways between your computer and iPod touch. New entries or changes you make
on iPod touch are synced to your computer, and vice versa. Webpage bookmarks are
also synced both ways. Photos can be synced from an application or from a folder.
Email account settings are only synced from your computer’s email application to
iPod touch. This allows you to customize your email accounts on iPod touch without
aecting email account settings on your computer.
Note: You can also set up email accounts directly on iPod touch. See “Mail, Contacts,
and Calendar Accounts” on page 11 .
Purchases made on iPod touch from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store or the App Store
are synced back to your iTunes library. You can also purchase or download music
and applications directly from the iTunes Store on your computer, then sync them to
iPod touch.
If you like, you can set iPod touch to sync with only a portion of what’s on your
computer. For example, you might want to sync only a group of contacts from your
address book, or only unwatched video podcasts.
Important: You can connect and sync with only one iPod touch at a time. Disconnect
one before connecting another. You should be logged in to your own computer user
account before connecting iPod touch. On a PC, if you sync more than one iPod touch
or iPod to the same computer user account, you must use the same sync settings for
each.
Set up iTunes syncing:
1 Connect iPod touch to your computer, and open iTunes (if it doesn’t open
automatically).
2 In iTunes, select iPod touch in the sidebar.
3 Congure the sync settings in each of the settings panes.
See the following section for descriptions of the panes.
Note: If you set up iPod touch to sync contacts, calendars, or bookmarks with
MobileMe or Microsoft Exchange, syncing for those items is turned o in iTunes. See
“Setting Up Accounts” on page 11 .
4 Click Apply in the lower-right corner of the screen.
By default, ”Open iTunes when this iPod is connected” is selected.
iPod touch Settings Panes in iTunes
The following sections provide an overview of each of the iPod touch settings panes.
For more information, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.
Summary Pane
Select ”Open iTunes when this iPod is connected” to have iTunes open and sync
iPod touch automatically whenever you connect it to your computer. Deselect
this option if you want to sync only by clicking the Sync button in iTunes. For
more information about preventing automatic syncing, see “Preventing Automatic
Syncing” on page 10 .
Select “Sync only checked songs and videos” if you want to sync only items that are
individually checked in your iTunes library.

Chapter 1 Getting Started 9
Info Pane
The Info pane lets you congure the sync settings for your contacts, calendars, email
accounts, and web browser.
Contacts Â
You can sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Microsoft
Entourage, Yahoo! Address Book, and Google Address Book on a Mac, or with Yahoo!
Address Book, Google Address Book, Windows Address Book (Outlook Express),
Vista Contacts, or Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync
contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with only one
application at a time.)
If you sync with Yahoo! Address Book, you only need to click Congure to enter your
new login information when you change your Yahoo! ID or password after you’ve
set up syncing.
Calendars Â
You can sync calendars from applications such as iCal and Microsoft Entourage on
a Mac, or from Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync
calendars with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync calendars with only one
application at a time.)
Mail Accounts Â
You can sync email account settings from Mail on a Mac, and from Microsoft
Outlook 2003 or 2007 or Outlook Express on a PC. Account settings are only
transferred from your computer to iPod touch. Changes you make to an email
account on iPod touch don’t aect the account on your computer.
Note: The password for your Yahoo! email account isn’t saved on your computer,
so it can’t be synced and must be entered on iPod touch. In Settings, choose “Mail,
Contacts, Calendars,” tap your Yahoo! account, and enter the password.
Web Browser Â
You can sync bookmarks from Safari on a Mac, or from Safari or Microsoft Internet
Explorer on a PC.
Advanced Â
These options let you replace the information on iPod touch with the information
on your computer during the next sync.
Music, Movies, TV Shows, and Podcasts Panes
Use these panes to specify the media you want to sync. You can sync all music, movies,
TV shows, and podcasts, or select the playlists and items you want on iPod touch.
If you want to watch rented movies on iPod touch, transfer them to iPod touch using
the Movies pane in iTunes.
If there’s not enough room on iPod touch for all the media you’ve specied, iTunes
asks if you want to create a special playlist. iTunes creates the playlist for you, and sets
it to sync with iPod touch.
Photos Pane
You can sync photos with iPhoto 4.0.3 or later, or Aperture on a Mac; or with Adobe
Photoshop Album 2.0 or later, or Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 or later on a PC. You
can also sync photos in any folder on your computer that contains images.
Applications Pane
Use the Applications pane to specify which App Store applications you want installed
on iPod touch. Any applications downloaded directly to iPod touch are automatically
backed up to your iTunes library when you sync. If you manually delete an application
on iPod touch, you can reinstall it from this pane as long as it was previously synced.
Preventing Automatic Syncing
You may want to prevent iPod touch from syncing automatically when you connect
iPod touch to a computer other than the one you usually sync with.
Turn o automatic syncing for iPod touch: Connect iPod touch to your computer. In
iTunes, select iPod touch in the sidebar, then click the Summary tab. Deselect “Open
iTunes when this iPod is connected.” You can always sync by clicking the Sync button.
Prevent automatic syncing for all iPod touchs: In iTunes choose iTunes > Preferences
(on a Mac) or Edit > Preferences (on a PC), click Syncing, and select “Disable automatic
syncing for all iPhones and iPods.”
If this checkbox is selected, iPod touch won’t sync automatically, even if “Open iTunes
when this iPod is connected” is selected in the Summary pane.
Prevent automatic syncing one time, without changing settings: Open iTunes. Then,
as you connect iPod touch to your computer, press and hold Command-Option (on a
Mac) or Shift-Control (on a PC) until you see iPod touch appear in the sidebar.
Sync manually: In iTunes, select iPod touch in the sidebar, then click Sync in the lower-
right corner of the window. Or, if you’ve changed any sync settings, click Apply.

Chapter 1 Getting Started 11
Mail, Contacts, and Calendar Accounts
iPod touch works with MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, and many of the most popular
email systems.
Setting Up Accounts
MobileMe and Microsoft Exchange provide not only email, but contact and calendar
information that can be synced to iPod touch automatically, over the air. MobileMe
can also sync your Safari bookmarks. You set up MobileMe, Exchange, and other email
accounts directly on iPod touch.
iPod touch uses the Exchange ActiveSync protocol to sync email, calendars, and
contacts with the following versions of Microsoft Exchange:
Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 Â
Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 Â
For many of the popular email accounts, iPod touch automatically enters most of the
settings for you.
If you don’t have already have one, you can get a free email account online at
www.yahoo.com, www.google.com, or www.aol.com. You can also try MobileMe,
free for 60 days. Go to www.me.com.
Add an account on iPod touch:
1 From iPod touch’s Home screen, tap Settings.
2 Tap “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” then tap Add Account.
3 Tap an account type:
Microsoft Exchange Â
MobileMe Â
Google email Â
Yahoo! Mail Â
AOL Â
Other Â
4 Enter your account information and tap Save.
Your service provider or system administrator can provide the accounts settings you
need.
5 If you’re setting up a MobileMe or Exchange account, tap to enable mail, contacts,
calendars, and bookmarks (MobileMe only). Then tap Save.
Important: If you turn on contacts or calendars in a MobileMe or Exchange account,
syncing for contacts or calendars in iTunes is turned o. Any contact or calendar
information on iPod touch is replaced by the contacts and calendars from your
MobileMe or Exchange account.
Push Accounts
MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, and Yahoo! Mail are known as “push” accounts. When
new information is available, such as the arrival of an email message, the information
is automatically delivered (pushed) to your computer or to iPod touch. (In contrast,
“fetch” services require your email software to periodically check with your service
provider to see if new messages have arrived, and then request them to be delivered.)
MobileMe and Exchange also sync your contacts, calendars, and bookmarks (MobileMe
only) in the same way. For example, if you add a contact to the address book on your
computer, the new contact is automatically pushed to iPod touch as well as to any
other computer or device congured with the service.
Synced information is transferred automatically over your wireless connection; you
don’t need to connect iPod touch to your computer to sync. iPod touch can receive
pushed data over a Wi-Fi connection only when iPod touch is awake (the screen is on,
or iPod touch is connected to your computer or a power adapter).
Installing Conguration Proles
If you’re in an enterprise environment, you may be able to set up accounts and
other items on iPod touch by installing a conguration prole. Conguration proles
provide a way for system administrators to quickly set up your iPod touch to work
with the information systems at your company, school, or organization. For example, a
conguration prole might set up your iPod touch to access the Microsoft Exchange
servers at work, enabling iPod touch to access your Exchange email, calendars, and
contacts.
Conguration proles can congure multiple settings on iPod touch all at once. For
example, a conguration prole can set up your Microsoft Exchange account, VPN
account, and certicates for secure access to your company’s network and information.
A conguration prole may turn on the Passcode Lock, requiring you to create and
enter a passcode for using iPod touch.
Your system administrator may distribute conguration proles by email or by putting
them on a secure webpage.
12 Chapter 1 Getting Started
Chapter 1 Getting Started 13
Install a conguration prole:
1 Using iPod touch, open the email message or download the conguration prole from
the website provided by your system administrator.
2 When the conguration prole opens, tap Install.
3 Enter passwords and other information as requested.
Important: You may be asked to verify that the conguration prole is trusted. If in
doubt, consult your system administrator before installing a conguration prole.
Settings provided by a conguration prole cannot be altered. If you want to change
these settings, you must rst remove the conguration prole or install an updated
conguration prole.
Remove a prole: In Settings, choose General > Prole, then select the conguration
prole and tap Remove.
Removing a conguration prole deletes the settings and all other information
installed by the conguration prole from iPod touch.
Disconnecting iPod touch from Your Computer
Unless iPod touch is syncing with your computer, you can disconnect it from your
computer at any time.
When iPod touch is syncing with your computer, iPod touch shows “Sync in progress.”
If you disconnect iPod touch before it nishes syncing, some data may not get
transferred. When iPod touch nishes syncing, iTunes shows ”iPod touch sync is
complete.”
Cancel a sync: Drag the slider on iPod touch.
