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 2007 Service Pack 1 Â

Exchange Server 2010 Â

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

eld.) Once you connect to the Exchange server, you may be prompted to change your

passcode to match the policies set on the server.
