What You Need

To use iPod touch, you need:

A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 port and one of the following operating systems: Â

Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later Â

Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional (SP3) Â

iTunes 10.1.2 or later, available at Â www.itunes.com/download

An Apple ID (such as an iTunes Store account or MobileMe account) for purchases Â from the iTunes Store or App Store

An Internet connection for your computer (broadband is recommended) Â

Setting Up iPod touch

Before you can use iPod touch, you must set it up in iTunes. During setup, you can create a new Apple ID or specify an existing Apple ID for making purchases with iPod touch. (The iTunes Store may not be available in all countries or regions.) iTunes also records the serial number of your iPod touch in case you need it.

Set up iPod touch:

1 Download and install the latest version of iTunes from www.itunes.com/download.

2 Connect iPod touch to a USB 2.0 port on your Mac or PC using the cable that came

with iPod touch.

3 Follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to register iPod touch and sync iPod touch

with songs, videos, and apps from your iTunes library, and with your photos on your computer. For information about customizing your sync contacts, see “Syncing with iTunes” on page 45.

Note: If you have a visual impairment, VoiceOver can help you set up iPod touch without a sighted assistant. VoiceOver describes aloud what appears on the screen, so you can use iPod touch without seeing it. When you connect iPod touch to your computer, iTunes detects whether you’re using a compatible screen reader on your computer, such as VoiceOver (Mac) or GW Micro Window-Eyes (PC), and automatically enables VoiceOver on iPod touch. A sighted user can also enable VoiceOver on iPod touch using Accessibility settings. (VoiceOver may not be available in all languages.) See “VoiceOver” on page 191.

Chapter 2 Getting Started

Disconnecting iPod touch from Your Computer

You can disconnect iPod touch from your computer at any time. However, if you disconnect it while a sync is in progress, some data may not get synced until the next time you connect iPod touch to your computer.

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 the sync is complete, iTunes shows “iPod touch sync is complete.”

Cancel a sync: Drag the slider on iPod touch.

Connecting to the Internet

iPod touch connects to the Internet via Wi-Fi networks. iPod touch can join AirPort and other Wi-Fi networks at home, at work, or at Wi-Fi hotspots around the world.

When joined to a Wi-Fi network that’s connected to the Internet, iPod touch accesses

the Internet automatically whenever you use Mail, Safari, YouTube, FaceTime, Game Center, Stocks, Maps, Weather, the App Store, or the iTunes Store.

Joining a Wi-Fi Network

The Wi-Fi settings let you turn on Wi-Fi and join Wi-Fi networks.

Turn on Wi-Fi: Choose Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on.

Join a Wi-Fi network: Choose Settings > Wi-Fi, wait a moment as iPod touch detects

networks in range, then select a network (fees may apply to join some Wi-Fi networks).

If necessary, enter a password and tap Join (networks that require a password appear with a lock icon).

Once you join a Wi-Fi network manually, iPod touch automatically connects to it

whenever the network is in range. If more than one previously used network is in

range, iPod touch joins the one last used.

When iPod touch is connected to a Wi-Fi network, the Wi-Fi icon in the status bar at the top of the screen shows the connection strength. The more bars you see, the stronger the connection.

For information about conguring Wi-Fi settings, see “Wi-Fi” on page 156.

VPN Access

VPN (virtual private network) provides secure access over the Internet to private networks, such as the network at your company or school. Use Network settings to congure and turn on VPN. See “Network” on page 15 9.

Exchange Server 2010 Â

When setting up the account, you can choose which Exchange services you want to use with iPod touch:

Syncing and File Sharing

About Syncing

Syncing copies information from your computer or online account to iPod touch, then keeps the information in sync by copying changes made in one location to the other.

You use iTunes on your computer to sync contacts, calendars, and other information; iOS apps; photos and videos; and music and other iTunes content. By default, syncing

occurs whenever you connect iPod touch to your computer.

You can also congure iPod touch to access accounts with online service providers

such as MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, Google, Yahoo!, and others. Your information on those services is synced over the air.

Syncing Accounts

MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, Google, Yahoo!, and other online service providers sync information—which might include contacts, calendars, browser bookmarks, and notes (iPod touch 3rd generation or later)—wirelessly over the air, so you don’t have to connect iPod touch to your computer. Syncing notes over the air is available on iPod touch 3rd generation or later.

Some service providers—including MobileMe and Microsoft Exchange—push information updates. This means that syncing happens whenever any information is changed. The Push setting in Fetch New Data must be turned on (it’s on by default). Other providers sync by periodically “fetching” changes that have occurred. Use the Fetch setting to determine how frequently this happens. See “Fetch New Data” on page 171.

For information about setting up accounts on iPod touch, see “Adding Mail, Contacts, and Calendar Accounts” on page 20.

Syncing with iTunes

You can set iTunes to sync any or all of the following:

Music Â

Movies Â

TV Shows Â

Games and apps downloaded from the App Store Â

Music videos Â

Podcasts Â

Books and audiobooks Â

iTunes U collections Â

Photos and videos (in your computer’s photo application or folder) Â

Contacts—names, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, and more Â

Calendars—appointments and events Â

Notes Â

Email account settings Â

Webpage bookmarks Â

You can adjust sync settings whenever iPod touch is connected to your computer.

Music, audiobooks, podcasts, books, iTunes U collections, videos, and apps are synced from your iTunes library. If you don’t already have content in iTunes, the iTunes Store (not available in all countries or regions) makes it easy to preview 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, notes, and webpage bookmarks are synced with applications on your computer, as described in the following section. New entries or changes you make on iPod touch are synced to your computer, and vice versa.

iTunes also lets you sync photos and videos from an application or from a folder.

Email account settings are synced only from your computer’s email application to iPod touch. This allows you to customize your email accounts on iPod touch without

aecting email account settings on your computer.

Note: You can also set up email accounts directly on iPod touch. See “Adding Mail, Contacts, and Calendar Accounts” on page 20.

Purchases you make on iPod touch in the iTunes Store or the App Store are synced back to your iTunes library. You can also purchase or download content and apps from the iTunes Store on your computer, and then sync them to iPod touch.

Chapter 4 Syncing and File Sharing

FaceTime

About FaceTime

FaceTime lets you make video calls over Wi-Fi. Use the front camera to talk face-to-face, or the main camera to share what you see around you.

To use FaceTime, you need an iPod touch 4th generation and a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet. The person you call must also have a Wi-Fi connection, and either an iPod touch 4th generation, iPad 2, or iPhone 4. For more information, see “Connecting to the Internet” on page 19.

Note: FaceTime may not be available in all countries or regions.

Signing In

To sign in to FaceTime, you need an Apple ID. If you have an iTunes Store account, MobileMe account, or other Apple account, you can use that Apple ID with FaceTime. If you don’t have an Apple ID, you can create one when you open FaceTime.

You don’t need to sign in or out every time you use FaceTime. Once you sign in, you go straight to your contacts whenever you open FaceTime.

1 Open FaceTime, enter your Apple ID and password, then tap Sign In. If you don’t

already have an Apple account, you can tap Create New Account and set one up now.

2 On the Location screen, choose your current region and tap Next.

3 On the FaceTime screen, enter the email address others should use to call you in

FaceTime, then tap Next. If this is the rst time you’ve used this address for FaceTime, you may need to check for new email in that account and reply to the conrmation

message from Apple. (If you’ve already added the account to Mail on your iPod touch,

verication is automatic.)

Now you can choose a contact and start a FaceTime call, and others can call you using the email address you provided. If you use more than one email address, you can add the others as described below.

Create a new account:

1 Open FaceTime and tap Create New Account.

2 Enter your account information on the New Account screen, then tap Next. The email

address you enter will be the Apple ID for the new account.

3 On the Location screen, choose your current region and tap Next.

4 On the FaceTime screen, enter the email address you want others to use to call you,

then tap Next. This address doesn’t need to be the same as the address you entered for your account ID, but it must be a working email address.

5 Reply to the conrmation email sent from Apple to the email address you entered in

the previous step.

If you have more than one email address, you can let people call you using any of them.

Add email addresses: Choose Settings > FaceTime, then tap Add Another Email.

Sign out: Choose Settings > FaceTime, then tap Account.

You don’t need to sign out from FaceTime—just sign in once, and open FaceTime later

without being asked to sign in again. You can’t receive FaceTime calls while you’re signed out.

Change FaceTime settings: Choose Settings > FaceTime. See “FaceTime” on page 168.
