iCloud is available on iOS devices running iOS 5, on Macs running OS X Lion v10.7.2 or later, and on PCs with the iCloud Control Panel for Windows (Windows Vista Service Pack 2 or Windows 7 required).

iCloud features include:

Â iTunes in the Cloud—Download your previous iTunes music and TV show purchases to

iPod touch for free, anytime you like.

across all your devices.

Â Mail, Contacts, Calendars—Keep your mail contacts, calendars, notes, and reminders up to date

screen, or remotely wipe the data. See “Find My iPod” on page 33.

Â Find My Friends—Share your location with people who are important to you. Download the free

app from the App Store.

Â iTunes Match—With an iTunes Match subscription, all your music, including music you’ve

imported from CDs or purchased somewhere other than iTunes, appears on all of your devices and can be downloaded and played on demand. See “iTunes Match” on page 39.

Tips for syncing with iTunes

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

Purchases you make from the iTunes Store or the App Store on iPod touch are synced back to Â 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, you can set iTunes to automatically sync iPod touch when it’s Â 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 sidebar.

In the device’s Summary pane, select “Encrypt Â 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, 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.

In the device’s Info pane, when you sync mail accounts, only the settings are transferred from Â

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

If you listen to part of a podcast or audiobook, your place in the story is included if you sync the Â content with iTunes. If you started listening to the story on iPod touch, you can pick up where

you left o using iTunes on your computer—or vice versa.

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

Auto-correction and spell checking

Suggested word

For many languages, iPod touch corrects misspellings or makes suggestions as you type. When iPod touch suggests a word, you can accept the suggestion without interrupting your typing.

For a list of supported languages, see www.apple.com/ipodtouch/specs.html.

iPod touch uses the active dictionary to suggest corrections or complete the word you’re typing. You don’t need to interrupt your typing to accept the suggested word.

Accept the suggested word: Type a space, punctuation mark, or return character.

Reject the suggested word: Finish typing the word as you want it, then tap the “x”.

Each time you reject a suggestion for the same word, iPod touch becomes more likely to accept the word.

iPod touch also underlines words you type that might be misspelled.
