Getting Started

WARNING: To avoid injury, read Important safety information on page 12 8 before using

iPod touch.

Set up iPod touch

With only a Wi-Fi connection, you can easily set up and activate iPod touch. You can also set up iPod touch by connecting to a computer and using iTunes (see the next section, Connect

iPod touch to your computer). An Apple ID is recommended for many features, including iCloud,

FaceTime, the App Store, and the iTunes Store.

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 (needed for many features, including iCloud, FaceTime, the App Store, and the iTunes Store)

•

Entering a passcode

•

Setting up iCloud and iCloud Keychain

•

Turning on recommended features such as Location Services and Find My iPod touch

You can also restore from an iCloud or iTunes backup during setup.

Note: If you turn on Find My iPod touch during setup, Activation Lock will be turned on in order to help deter theft. See Find My iPod touch on page 33.

Connect iPod touch to your computer

You can connect iPod touch to your computer to set it up. You also might need to connect it to complete wireless setup.

Connecting iPod touch to your computer lets you sync music, videos, and other information with iTunes. You can also sync content with your computer wirelessly. See Sync with iTunes on page 16.

To use iPod touch with your computer, you need:

•

An Internet connection for your computer (broadband is recommended)

•

A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port and one of the following operating systems:

•

OS X v10.6.8 or later

•

Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional (with Service Pack 3 or later)

Connect iPod touch to your computer. Use the Lightning to USB Cable provided with iPod touch.

Connect to Wi-Fi

If appears in the status bar at the top of the screen, you’re connected to a Wi-Fi network. iPod touch reconnects anytime you return to the same location.

Congure Wi-Fi. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi. You can:

•

Choose a network: Tap one of the listed networks and enter the password, if asked.

•

Ask to join networks: Turn “Ask to Join Networks” on to be prompted when a Wi-Fi network

is available. Otherwise, you must manually join a network when a previously used network isn’t available.

•

Forget a network: Tap next to a network you’ve joined before. Then tap “Forget this Network.”

•

Join a closed Wi-Fi network: Tap Other, then enter the name of the closed network. You must already know the network name, password, and security type to connect to a closed network.

•

Adjust the settings for a Wi-Fi network: Tap next to a network. You can set an HTTP proxy,

dene static network settings, turn on BootP, or renew the settings provided by a DHCP server.

Set up your own Wi-Fi network. If you have an uncongured AirPort base station turned on and within range, you can use iPod touch to set it up. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and look for “Set up an AirPort base station.” Tap your base station and the Setup Assistant will do the rest.

Manage an AirPort network. If iPod touch is connected to an AirPort base station, go to Settings > Wi-Fi, tap next to the network name, then tap Manage this Network. If you haven’t yet downloaded AirPort Utility, tap OK to open the App Store and download it.

Connect to the Internet

iPod touch connects to the Internet by joining 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.

Set 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.

You can set up a free iCloud account when you rst set up iPod touch, or later in Settings. See

iCloud on page 14.

Set up an account. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account. You can also set up an iCloud account in Settings > iCloud.

Chapter 2 Getting Started 13

You can add contacts using an LDAP or CardDAV account if your company or organization supports it. See Add contacts on page 97.

You can add calendars using a CalDAV calendar account, and you can subscribe to iCalendar (.ics) calendars or import them from Mail. See Use multiple calendars on page 60.

Apple ID

An Apple ID is the login you use for just about everything you do with Apple, including using iCloud to store your content, downloading apps from the App Store, and buying songs, movies, and TV shows from the iTunes Store.

You only need one Apple ID for everything you do with Apple. If you have an Apple ID, use it

when you rst set up iPod touch, and whenever you need to sign in to use an Apple service. If

you don’t already have an Apple ID, you can create one whenever you’re asked to sign in.

Create an Apple ID. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap Sign In. (If you’re already signed

in and want to create another Apple ID, rst tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.)

For more information, see appleid.apple.com.

Manage 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. Changes you make on one device are copied to the other when you sync. You can also use iTunes to

sync les and documents. See Sync with iTunes on page 16.

You can use iCloud or iTunes, or both, depending on your needs. For example, you can use iCloud to automatically send the photos you take on iPod touch to your other devices, and use iTunes to sync photo albums from your computer to iPod touch.

Important: If you use iCloud for syncing contacts, calendars, and notes, don’t also use iTunes to

sync those items. Otherwise, you might see duplicates.

You can also manually manage content from iTunes, in the device’s Summary pane. This lets you add songs and videos, by choosing a song, video, or playlist from your iTunes library and then dragging it to your iPod touch in iTunes. This is useful if your iTunes library contains more items

than can t on your device.

Note: If you’re using iTunes Match, you can manually manage only video.

iCloud

If you use the free iCloud account, iCloud 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 7 or Windows 8 is required).

Chapter 2 Getting Started 14

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

iCloud features include:

•

iTunes in the Cloud—Download your previous iTunes music and TV show purchases to iPod touch for free, anytime.

See iTunes Match on page 55.

•

Apps and Books—Download your previous App Store and iBooks Store purchases to iPod touch for free, any time.

•

Photos—Use My Photo Stream to push photos you take with your iPod touch to your other devices, automatically. Use iCloud Photo Sharing to share photos and videos with just the people you choose, and let them add photos, videos, and comments. See iCloud Photo

•

Documents in the Cloud—For iCloud-enabled apps, keep documents and app data up to date across all your devices.

Apple ID and password in order to turn o Find My iPod or erase your device. Your Apple ID

and password are also required before anyone can activate your iPod touch. See Find My

iPod touch on page 33.

•

iCloud Tabs—See the webpages you have open on your other iOS devices or computers with OS X. See Chapter 7, Safari, on page 45.

•

Chapter 2 Getting Started 15

Sync with iTunes

Syncing with iTunes copies information from your computer to iPod touch, and vice versa. You can sync by connecting iPod touch to your computer, or you can set up iTunes to sync wirelessly with Wi-Fi. You can set iTunes to sync photos, videos, podcasts, apps, and more. For help syncing iPod touch with your computer, open iTunes, then choose iTunes Help from the Help menu.

Sync wirelessly. Connect iPod touch. Then in iTunes on your computer, select your iPod touch,

click Summary, and select “Sync with this iPod over Wi-Fi.”

When Wi-Fi syncing is turned on, iPod touch syncs when it’s connected to a power source, both iPod touch and your computer are connected to the same wireless network, and iTunes is open on the computer.

Tips for syncing with iTunes on your computer

Connect iPod touch to your computer, select it in iTunes, and set options in the dierent panes.

•

In the Summary pane, you can set iTunes to automatically sync iPod touch when it’s attached to your computer. To temporarily override this setting, hold down Command and Option (Mac) or Shift and Control (PC) until you see iPod touch appear in the iTunes window.

•

In the 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 in order 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 you’ll have to reenter them if you use the backup to restore iPod touch.

•

In the Info pane, when you sync mail accounts, only the settings are transferred from your

computer to iPod touch. Changes you make to a mail account on iPod touch don’t aect the

account on your computer.

•

In the Info pane, click Advanced to select options that let you replace the information on iPod touch with the information from your computer during the next sync.

•

In the Photo pane, you can sync photos and videos from a folder on your computer.

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

Date and time

The date and time are usually set for you based on your location—take a look at the Lock screen to see if they’re correct.

Set whether iPod touch updates the date and time automatically. Go to Settings > General >

Date & Time, then turn Set Automatically on or o. If you set iPod touch to update the time

automatically, it gets the correct time based on your Wi-Fi connection. In some cases, iPod touch may not be able to automatically determine the local time.

Set the date and time manually. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time, then turn o Set Automatically. Tap Time Zone to set your time zone. Tap the Date & Time button, then tap Set Date & Time.

Set whether iPod touch shows 24-hour time or 12-hour time. Go to Settings > General >
