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 account or specify an existing Apple account to enable purchases with iPod touch.

A numbered badge shows the total number of items you haven’t attended to, such as incoming email messages and updated apps to download. An alert badge indicates a problem with an app in the folder.
