Setting up iPod touch

To set up and activate iPod touch, turn on iPod touch and follow the Setup Assistant. The Setup Assistant steps you through the setup process, including connecting to a Wi-Fi network, signing in with or creating a free Apple ID, setting up iCloud, and turning on recommended features such as Location Services and Find My iPod. You can also restore from an iCloud or iTunes backup during setup.

Activation can be done over a Wi-Fi network. If you don’t have access to a Wi-Fi network, you can

connect iPod touch to your computer and nish activation using iTunes.

Connecting iPod touch to your computer

If you don’t have Wi-Fi access, you might need to connect iPod touch to your computer to complete setup. You can also connect iPod touch to your computer to sync music, videos, and other information with iTunes. You can also sync content with your computer wirelessly. See

iCloud on page 14 and Syncing with iTunes on page 15.

Connect iPod touch to your computer: Use the included Lightning to USB Cable (iPod touch 5th generation) or Dock Connector to USB Cable (iPod touch 4th generation).

Connecting to the Internet

iPod touch connects to the Internet via Wi-Fi networks. When joined to a Wi-Fi network that is connected to the Internet, iPod touch connects to the Internet automatically whenever you use Mail, Safari, FaceTime, Game Center, Stocks, Maps, Weather, the App Store, or the iTunes Store. For information about connecting to a Wi-Fi network, see Wi-Fi on page 119.

Setting up mail and other accounts

iPod touch works with iCloud, Microsoft Exchange, and many of the most popular Internet-based mail, contacts, and calendar service providers. If you don’t already have a mail account, you can set up a free iCloud account when you set up iPod touch, or any time in Settings > iCloud. See

iCloud on page 14.

Set up an iCloud account: Go to Settings > iCloud.

Managing content on your iOS devices

You can transfer information and les between your iOS devices and computers using iCloud

or iTunes.

•

iCloud stores your photos, apps, contacts, calendars, and more, and wirelessly pushes them to your devices, keeping everything up to date. See iCloud below.

•

iTunes syncs music, video, photos, and more between your computer and iPod touch. You can connect iPod touch to your computer using USB, or set it up to sync wirelessly using Wi-Fi. Changes you make on one device are copied to the other when you sync. You can also use

iTunes to copy a le to iPod touch for use with an app, or to copy a document you’ve created

on iPod touch to your computer. See Syncing with iTunes on page 15.

You can use iCloud, iTunes, or both, depending on your needs. For example, you can use Photo Stream to automatically put photos you take with iPod touch on all of your devices, and use iTunes to sync photo albums from your computer to iPod touch.

Important: Don’t sync items in the Info pane of iTunes (such as contacts, calendars, and notes)

if you use iCloud to keep that information up to date on your devices. Otherwise, you might see duplicate items.

iCloud

iCloud is a service that stores your content, including music, photos, contacts, calendars, and supported documents. Content stored in iCloud is wirelessly pushed to your other iOS devices and computers set up with the same iCloud account.

iCloud is available on an iOS device with iOS 5 or later, on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.2 or later, and on a PC with the iCloud Control Panel for Windows (Windows Vista Service Pack 2 or Windows 7 required).

Note: iCloud is not available in all areas, and iCloud features may vary by area. For more information, go to www.apple.com/icloud.

iCloud features include:

Tips for syncing with iTunes

•

If you use iCloud to store your contacts, calendars, and bookmarks, don’t also sync them to iPod touch using iTunes.

•

Purchases you make from the iTunes Store or the App Store on iPod touch 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.

•

In the device’s Summary pane, select “Encrypt iPod backup” if you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a lock icon , and a password is required to restore the backup. If you don’t select this option, other passwords (such as those for mail accounts) aren’t included in the backup and will have to be reentered if you use the backup to restore iPod touch.

Chapter 2 Getting Started 15

Siri

What is Siri?

Siri is the intelligent personal assistant that helps you get things done just by talking. Siri

understands natural speech, so you don’t have to learn specic commands or remember keywords. You can ask things in dierent ways. For example, you can say “Set the alarm for

6:30 a.m.” or “Wake me at 6:30 in the morning.” Either way, Siri gets it.

WARNING: For important information about avoiding distraction while driving, see Important

safety information on page 129.

Siri lets you write and send a message, schedule a meeting, place a FaceTime call, get directions, set a reminder, search the web, and much more—simply by talking naturally. Siri asks a question

if it needs clarication or more information. Siri also uses information from your contacts, music

library, calendars, reminders, and so forth to understand what you’re talking about.

Siri works seamlessly with most of the built-in apps on iPod touch, and uses Search and Location Services when needed. You can also ask Siri to open an app for you.

There’s so much you can say to Siri—here are some more examples, for starters:

•

FaceTime Joe

•

Set the timer for 30 minutes

•

Directions to the nearest Apple Store

•

Is it going to rain tomorrow?

•

Open Passbook

•

Post to Facebook

•

Note: Siri is available on iPod touch 5th generation, and requires Internet access. Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area.

Using Siri

What Siri heard you say

Tap to speak to Siri.

Siri’s response

Related info—tap to open the app.

Starting Siri

Siri comes to life with the press of a button.

Start Siri: Press the Home button until Siri appears. If you didn’t turn Siri on when you set up iPod touch, go to Settings > General > Siri.

You’ll hear two quick beeps and see “What can I help you with?” on the screen.

Just start speaking. The microphone icon lights up to let you know that Siri hears you talking. Once you’ve started a dialogue with Siri, tap the microphone icon to talk to it again.

Siri waits for you to stop speaking, but you can also tap the microphone icon to tell Siri you’re done. This is useful when there’s a lot of background noise. It can also speed up your conversation with Siri, since Siri won’t have to wait for your pause.

When you stop speaking, Siri displays what it heard and provides a response. Siri often includes related info that might be useful. If the info is related to an app—for example, a text message you’ve composed, or a location you asked for—just tap the display to open the app for details and further action.

What Siri heard you say

Siri’s response

Related info—tap to open the app.

Tap to speak to Siri.

Siri may ask you for clarication in order to complete a request. For example, tell Siri to “Remind

me to FaceTime mom,” and Siri may ask “What time would you like me to remind you?”

Cancel a request: Say “cancel,” tap , or press the Home button .

Telling Siri about yourself

The more Siri knows about you, the more it can use your information to help you. Siri gets your information from your personal info card (“My Info”) in Contacts.

Tell Siri who you are: Go to Settings > General > Siri > My Info, then tap your name.

Put your home and work addresses on your card, so you can say things like “Tell me how to get home.”

Chapter 4 Siri 36

Siri also wants to know about the important people in your life, so put those relationships on your personal info card—Siri can help you. For example, if you tell Siri to text your sister, Siri asks you who your sister is (if you don’t already have that info on your card). Siri adds that relationship to your personal info card so it doesn’t have to ask next time.

Create cards in Contacts for all your important relationships, and include information such as phone numbers, email addresses, home and work addresses, and nicknames you like to use.

Onscreen guide

Siri prompts you with examples of things you can say, right on screen. Ask Siri “what can you do” or tap when Siri rst appears. Siri displays a list of the apps it supports, with an example request. Tap an item in the list to see more examples.

Handsfree Siri

You can use Siri with a compatible headset, such as the Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic (available separately), and other wired or Bluetooth headsets.

Talk to Siri using a headset: Press and hold the center button (or the call button on a Bluetooth headset).

To continue a conversation with Siri, press and hold the button each time you want to talk.

When you use a headset, Siri speaks its responses to you. Siri reads back text messages and email messages that you’ve dictated before sending them. This gives you a chance to change the message if you want. Siri also reads back the subjects of reminders before creating them.

Location Services

Siri uses Location Services to know about such things as your local weather, and restaurants and other businesses near you.

Location information isn’t tracked or stored outside iPod touch. You can still use Siri if you turn

Location Services o, but Siri won’t do anything that requires location information.

Turn o Location Services for Siri: Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.

Chapter 4 Siri 37

Accessibility

Find the location in Maps.

See Yelp reviews.

Visit the website.

Make a reservation through OpenTable.

Siri is accessible to blind and visually impaired users through VoiceOver, the screen reader built into iOS. VoiceOver describes aloud what’s onscreen—including any text in Siri’s responses—so you can use iPod touch without seeing it.

Turn on VoiceOver: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility.

Turning on VoiceOver causes even your notications to be read aloud for you. For more

information, see VoiceOver on page 106.

Setting options for Siri

Turn Siri on or o: Go to Settings > General > Siri.

Note: Turning Siri o resets Siri, and Siri forgets what it’s learned about your voice.

Set options for Siri: Go to Settings > General > Siri.

•

Language: Select the language you want to use with Siri.

•

Voice Feedback: By default, Siri speaks its responses only when you use Siri with a headset. If you want Siri to always speak its responses, set this option to Always.

•

My Info: Let Siri know which card in Contacts contains your personal info. See Telling Siri about

yourself on page 36.

Allow or prevent access to Siri when iPod touch is locked with a passcode: Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock.

You can also disable Siri by turning on restrictions. See Restrictions on page 123.

Restaurants

Siri works with Yelp, OpenTable, and others to provide information about restaurants and help

you make reservations. Ask to nd restaurants by cuisine, price, location, outdoor seating, or a

combination of options. Siri can show you available photos, Yelp stars, price range, and reviews. Get more information by using the Yelp and OpenTable apps—iPod touch prompts you to download them if you don’t already have them installed.

Movies

Get theaters and showtimes.

Watch the trailer.

Read Rotten Tomato reviews.

Ask Siri about what movies are playing, or where you can see a specic movie. Find out when a lm premiered, who directed it, and what awards it won. Siri gives theater locations, show times,

and Rotten Tomato reviews.

Siri works with Fandango to help you purchase tickets (for theaters that support it). Ask about showtimes for a movie, or tell Siri you want to buy tickets. When you tap Buy Tickets, Fandango opens if it’s installed, or you’ll be prompted to install the app from the App Store.

See detailed info about a movie: Tap a movie that Siri suggests.

Watch the trailer.

Get theaters and showtimes.

Sports

Siri knows a lot about sports—including baseball, basketball, football, soccer, and hockey. Ask Siri for game schedules, scores from the current season’s games, or up-to-the minute scores from live games. Tell Siri to show you player stats and compare them against other players’ stats. Siri tracks team records, too. Here are some things you might ask:

•

What was the score of the last Giants game?

•

What are the National League standings?

•

When is the Chicago Cubs rst game of the season?

Dictation

When Siri is turned on, you can also dictate text. See Dictation on page 25.

Although you can compose email, text messages, and other text by talking directly with Siri, you might prefer dictation. Dictation lets you edit a message instead of replacing the entire text. Dictation also gives you more time to think while composing.

Siri understands a pause to mean you nished talking for the moment, and takes that

opportunity to respond. While this lets you have a natural conversation with Siri, Siri might interrupt you before you’re really done if you pause too long. With dictation, you can pause as much as you like, and resume talking when you’re ready.

You can also start composing text using Siri, then continue using dictation. For example, you can create an email with Siri, then tap the draft to open the message in Mail. In Mail, you can complete or edit the message and make other changes, such as adding or removing recipients, revising the subject, or changing the account you’re sending the email from.

Chapter 4 Siri 39

Correcting Siri

If Siri is having trouble

Siri may sometimes have trouble understanding you—in a noisy environment, for example. If you speak with an accent, it can take Siri some time to get used to your voice. If Siri doesn’t hear you exactly right, you can make corrections.

Siri shows what it heard you say, along with its response.

Correct what Siri hears you say: Tap the bubble showing what Siri heard you say. Edit your request by typing, or tap on the keyboard to dictate.

For information about using dictation, see Dictation on page 39.

If some of the text is underlined in blue, tap it and Siri suggests some alternatives. Tap one of the suggestions, or replace the text by typing or dictating.

Correct Siri by voice: Tap , then restate or clarify your request. For example, “I meant Boston.”

When correcting Siri, don’t say what you don’t want—just tell Siri what you do want.

Correct a mail or text message: If Siri asks if you want to send the message, say something like:

•

Change it to: FaceTime me tomorrow.

•

Add: See you there question mark.

•

No, send it to Bob.

•

No. (to keep the message without sending it)

•

Cancel.

To have Siri read the message to you, say “Read it back to me” or “Read me the message.” If it’s correct, say something like “Yes, send it.”

Noisy environments

In a noisy environment, hold iPod touch close to your mouth, but don’t talk directly into the bottom edge. Continue to speak clearly and naturally. Tap when you nish speaking.

Network connection

Siri might tell you it’s having trouble connecting to the network. Because Siri relies on Apple servers for voice recognition and other services, you need to have a good Wi-Fi connection to the Internet.
