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 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.

Â Apps and Books—Download your previous App Store and iBookstore purchases to iPod touch

for free, any time you like.

Â Documents in the Cloud—For iCloud-enabled apps, keep documents and app data up to date

across all your devices.

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

across all your devices.

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.

With iCloud, you get a free mail account and 5 GB of storage for your mail, documents, and backups. Your purchased music, apps, TV shows, and books don’t count against your free space.

Set up wireless iTunes syncing: Connect iPod touch to your computer using the Dock Connector to USB Cable, and in iTunes turn on “Sync over Wi-Fi connection” in the device’s Summary pane.

When Wi-Fi syncing is turned on, iPod touch automatically 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. For more information, see “iTunes Wi-Fi Sync” on page 104.

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.

Shortcuts and your personal dictionary

Create a shortcut: Go to Settings > General > Keyboard, then tap Add New Shortcut.

Add a word to your personal dictionary so iPod touch won’t correct it: Create a shortcut, but

leave the Shortcut eld blank.

Select a keyboard layout: Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > International Keyboards, select a keyboard, and choose a layout.

For each language, you can choose dierent layouts for the onscreen software and any external

hardware keyboards. The software keyboard layout determines the layout of the keyboard on the iPod touch screen. The hardware keyboard layout determines the layout of an Apple Wireless Keyboard connected to iPod touch.

Chapter 3 Basics

Using an Apple Wireless Keyboard

You can use an Apple Wireless Keyboard (available separately; iPod touch 3rd generation or later) for typing on iPod touch. The Apple Wireless Keyboard connects via Bluetooth, so you must pair the keyboard with iPod touch. See “Pairing a Bluetooth device with iPod touch” on page 31.

Once the keyboard is paired with iPod touch, it connects whenever the keyboard is within range (up to 30 feet). You can tell that the keyboard is connected if the onscreen keyboard doesn’t

appear when you tap in a text eld. To save the battery, unpair the keyboard when not in use.

goes o. iPod touch disconnects the keyboard when it’s out of range.

In Settings, choose General > Bluetooth, tap next to the device name, then tap “Forget this Device.”

You can apply dierent layouts to a wireless keyboard. See Appendix A, “ International Keyboards,” on page 13 1 , and “Changing the keyboard layout” on page 25.
