by Apple isn’t collected in a form that personally identies you. When an app is using Location
Services, appears in the menu bar.
Turn Location Services on or o. Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services. You can turn it o
for some or for all apps and services. If you turn o Location Services, you’re prompted to turn it

that must be entered each time you turn on or wake up iPod touch.
Set a passcode. Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock and set a 4-digit passcode.
Setting a passcode turns on data protection, using your passcode as a key to encrypt Mail
messages and attachments stored on iPod touch, using 256-bit AES encryption. (Other apps may
also use data protection.)
Increase security. Turn o Simple Passcode and use a longer passcode. To enter a passcode that’s
a combination of numbers and letters, you use the keyboard. If you prefer to unlock iPod touch
using the numeric keypad, set up a longer passcode using numbers only.

AutoFill to have iPod touch enter your user name and password info, making login easy. See Fill
in forms on page 48.
Note: Some websites do not support AutoFill.
iCloud Keychain works on all your approved iOS 7 devices and Macs running OS X Mavericks.
iCloud Keychain is secured with 256-bit AES encryption during storage and transmission, and
cannot be read by Apple.
