An iTunes Store account (for purchases from the iTunes Store or App Store) 

An Internet connection for your computer (broadband recommended) 

Registering iPod touch

Before you can use any of the iPod touch features, you must use iTunes to set up iPod touch. You can also register iPod touch and create an iTunes Store account (not available in some countries) if you don’t already have one.

1 Download and install the latest version of iTunes from www.itunes.com/download.

2 Connect iPod touch to a USB 2.0 port on your Mac or PC using the cable that came

with iPod touch.

3 Follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to register iPod touch and sync iPod touch

with music, video, and other content from your iTunes library, and with your contacts, calendars, and bookmarks on your computer.

Syncing

About Syncing

With iPod touch, it’s easy to have instant access to your music, video, downloaded applications, and other iTunes library content. iTunes can sync all this information to iPod touch, and your contacts, calendars, and your browser bookmarks as well.

iTunes lets you specify the information and content on your computer that you want to sync with iPod touch. By default, iTunes syncs automatically with iPod touch whenever you connect iPod touch to your computer.

Syncing with iTunes

You can set iTunes to sync any or all of the following:

Music and audiobooks 

Movies 

Applications downloaded from the iTunes Store 

TV Shows 

Music videos 

Podcasts 

8 Chapter 1 Getting Started

Photos 

Contacts—names, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, and more 

Calendars—appointments and events 

Notes (requires Mac OS X version 10.5.7 on a Mac) 

Email account settings 

Webpage bookmarks 

You can adjust sync settings whenever iPod touch is connected to your computer.

Music, audiobooks, podcasts, video content, and applications are synced from your iTunes library. If you don’t already have content in iTunes, the iTunes Store (available in some countries) makes it easy to preview and download content to iTunes. You can also add music to your iTunes library from your CDs. To learn about iTunes and the iTunes Store, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.

Contacts, calendars, notes, and webpage bookmarks are synced with applications on your computer, as described in the following section. Contacts and calendars are synced both ways between your computer and iPod touch. New entries or changes you make on iPod touch are synced to your computer, and vice versa. Notes and webpage bookmarks are also synced both ways. Photos can be synced from an application or from a folder.

Email account settings are synced only from your computer’s email application to iPod touch. This allows you to customize your email accounts on iPod touch without

aﬀecting email account settings on your computer.

Note: You can also set up email accounts directly on iPod touch. See “Mail, Contacts, and Calendar Accounts” on page 12 .

Purchases you make on iPod touch in the iTunes Store or the App Store are synced back to your iTunes library. You can also purchase or download content and applications directly from the iTunes Store on your computer, and then sync them to iPod touch.

You can set iPod touch to sync with only a portion of what’s on your computer. For example, you might want to sync only certain music playlists, or only unwatched video podcasts.

Important: You should be logged in to your own computer user account before

connecting iPod touch.

Set up iTunes syncing:

1 Connect iPod touch to your computer, and open iTunes (if it doesn’t open automatically).

2 In iTunes, select iPod touch in the sidebar.

Chapter 1 Getting Started 9

3 Conﬁgure the sync settings in each of the settings panes.

See the following section for descriptions of the panes.

4 Click Apply in the lower-right corner of the screen.

By default, “Open iTunes when this iPod is connected” is selected.

iPod touch Settings Panes in iTunes

The following sections provide an overview of each of the iPod touch settings panes. For more information, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.

Summary Pane

Select “Open iTunes when this iPod is connected” to have iTunes open and sync iPod touch automatically whenever you connect it to your computer. Deselect this option if you want to sync only by clicking the Sync button in iTunes. For more information about preventing automatic syncing, see “Preventing Automatic Syncing” on page 12 .

Select “Sync only checked songs and videos” if you want iTunes to skip unchecked items in your iTunes library when syncing.

Select “Manually manage music and videos” to turn oﬀ automatic syncing in the Music

and Video settings panes. See “Manually Managing Content” on page 43.

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 padlock icon, and a password is required to restore the information to iPod touch. See “Backing Up iPod touch” on page 140.

Music, Movies, TV Shows, and Podcasts Panes

Use these panes to specify the media you want to sync. You can sync all music, movies, TV shows, and podcasts, or select the playlists and items you want on iPod touch.

If you want to watch rented movies on iPod touch, transfer them to iPod touch using the Movies pane in iTunes.

10 Chapter 1 Getting Started

If there’s not enough room on iPod touch for all the media you’ve speciﬁed, iTunes

asks if you want to create a special playlist. iTunes creates the playlist for you, and sets it to sync with iPod touch.

Photos Pane

You can sync photos with iPhoto 4.0.3 or later, or Aperture on a Mac; or with Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 or later, or Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 or later on a PC. You can also sync photos in any folder on your computer that contains images.

Info Pane

The Info pane lets you conﬁgure the sync settings for your contacts, calendars, email

accounts, and web browser.

Contacts 

You can sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo! Address Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts, Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), Windows Vista Contacts, or Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with only one application at a time.)

If you sync with Yahoo! Address Book, you only need to click Conﬁgure to enter your

new login information when you change your Yahoo! ID or password after you’ve set up syncing.

Calendars 

You can sync calendars from applications such as iCal on a Mac, or from Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync calendars with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync calendars with only one application at a time.)

Mail Accounts 

You can sync email account settings from Mail on a Mac, and from Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 or Outlook Express on a PC. Account settings are only transferred from your computer to iPod touch. Changes you make to an email

account on iPod touch don’t aﬀect the account on your computer.

Note: The password for your Yahoo! email account isn’t saved on your computer, so it can’t be synced and must be entered on iPod touch. In Settings, choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” tap your Yahoo! account, and enter the password.

Web Browser 

You can sync bookmarks from Safari on a Mac, or from Safari or Microsoft Internet Explorer on a PC.

Advanced 

These options let you replace the information on iPod touch with the information on your computer during the next sync.

Chapter 1 Getting Started 11

Applications Pane

Use the Applications pane to specify which App Store applications you want synced on iPod touch. Any applications downloaded directly to iPod touch are automatically backed up to your iTunes library when you sync. If you manually delete an application on iPod touch, you can reinstall it from this pane as long as it was previously synced.

Preventing Automatic Syncing

You may want to prevent iPod touch from syncing automatically when you connect iPod touch to a computer other than the one you usually sync with.

Turn oﬀ automatic syncing for iPod touch: Connect iPod touch to your computer. In iTunes, select iPod touch in the sidebar, then click the Summary tab. Deselect “Open iTunes when this iPod is connected.” You can always sync by clicking the Sync button.

Prevent automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods: In iTunes choose iTunes > Preferences (on a Mac) or Edit > Preferences (on a PC), click Devices, and select “Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods.”

If this checkbox is selected, iPod touch won’t sync automatically, even if “Open iTunes when this iPod is connected” is selected in the Summary pane.

Prevent automatic syncing one time, without changing settings: Open iTunes. Then, as you connect iPod touch to your computer, press and hold Command-Option (on a Mac) or Shift-Control (on a PC) until you see iPod touch appear in the sidebar.

Sync manually: In iTunes, select iPod touch in the sidebar, then click Sync in the lowerright corner of the window. Or, if you’ve changed any sync settings, click Apply.

Mail, Contacts, and Calendar Accounts

iPod touch works with MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, and many of the most popular email systems.

Setting Up Accounts

MobileMe and Microsoft Exchange provide not only email, but contact and calendar information that can be synced to iPod touch automatically, over the air. MobileMe can also sync your bookmarks on iPod touch with Safari on a Mac, or with Safari or Microsoft Internet Explorer on a PC. You set up MobileMe, Exchange, and other email accounts directly on iPod touch.

iPod touch uses the Exchange ActiveSync protocol to sync email, calendars, and contacts with the following versions of Microsoft Exchange:

Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 

Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 

For many of the popular email accounts, iPod touch automatically enters most of the settings for you.

12 Chapter 1 Getting Started

If you don’t already have an email account, you can get a free account online at www.yahoo.com, www.google.com, or www.aol.com. You can also try MobileMe, free for 60 days. Go to www.me.com.

Set up an account on iPod touch:

1 From the iPod touch Home screen, tap Settings.

2 Tap “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” then tap Add Account.

3 Tap an account type:

Microsoft Exchange 

MobileMe 

Google email 

Yahoo! Mail 

AOL 

Other 

4 Enter your account information and tap Save.

Your service provider or system administrator can provide the account settings you need.

Exchange accounts: Enter your complete email address, domain (optional), user name, password, and a description. The description can be whatever you like.

iPod touch supports Microsoft’s Autodiscovery service, which uses your user name and password to determine the address of the Exchange server. If the server’s address can’t be determined, you’re asked to enter it. (Enter the complete address in the Server

ﬁeld.) Once you connect to the Exchange server, you may be prompted to change your

passcode to match the policies set on the server.

5 If you’re setting up a MobileMe or Microsoft Exchange account, tap the items you want

to use on iPod touch—mail, contacts, calendars, and bookmarks (MobileMe only).

MobileMe includes the Find My iPhone feature that helps you locate iPod touch if it’s been lost or stolen, and remotely erase the information on iPod touch if necessary. See “Security Features” on page 34. If you enable Find My iPod touch for your MobileMe account, make sure that Push is turned on for Fetch New Data. In Settings, choose

“Mail, Contacts, Calendars” > Fetch New Data, and if Push is oﬀ, tap to turn it on.

For Exchange accounts, you can set how many days of email you want to sync to iPod touch.

If you already have contact or calendar information on iPod touch when you enable the account, iPod touch asks what you want to do with existing information on iPod touch. You can choose to merge the existing data into your MobileMe or Exchange account. If you don’t merge the data, you can choose to keep it in a separate account on iPod touch (the account is labeled “On My iPod touch”), or delete it. Existing bookmarks can only be merged or deleted.

Chapter 1 Getting Started 13

Similarly, when you disable contacts or calendars in an MobileMe or Exchange account, or if you delete an account, iPod touch asks if you want to keep information or delete it.

You can add contacts using an LDAP account if your company or organization supports it. See “Adding Contacts” on page 79.

You can subscribe to CalDAV or iCal (.ics) calendars. See “Subscribing to Calendars” on page 70.

Push Accounts

MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, and Yahoo! Mail are known as “push” accounts. When new information is available, such as the arrival of an email message, the information is automatically delivered (pushed) to iPod touch. (In contrast, “fetch” services require your email software to periodically check with your service provider to see if new messages have arrived, and then request them to be delivered.) MobileMe and Exchange also use push to sync your contacts, calendars, and bookmarks (MobileMe only) if you have those items selected in the account settings.

Synced information is transferred automatically over your wireless connection; you don’t need to connect iPod touch to your computer to sync. iPod touch can receive pushed data over a Wi-Fi connection only when iPod touch is awake (the screen is on, or iPod touch is connected to your computer or a power adapter).

Installing Conﬁguration Proﬁles

If you’re in an enterprise environment, you may be able to set up accounts and

other items on iPod touch by installing a conﬁguration proﬁle. Conﬁguration proﬁles

provide a way for system administrators to quickly set up your iPod touch to work with the information systems at your company, school, or organization. For example, a

conﬁguration proﬁle might set up your iPod touch to access the Microsoft Exchange

servers at work, enabling iPod touch to access your Exchange email, calendars, and contacts.

Conﬁguration proﬁles can conﬁgure multiple settings on iPod touch all at once. For example, a conﬁguration proﬁle can set up your Microsoft Exchange account, VPN account, and certiﬁcates for secure access to your company’s network and information. A conﬁguration proﬁle may turn on the Passcode Lock, requiring you to create and

enter a passcode for using iPod touch.

Your system administrator may distribute conﬁguration proﬁles by email or by putting them on a secure webpage. A system administrator may also install a conﬁguration proﬁle directly on iPod touch for you.

14 Chapter 1 Getting Started

Install a conﬁguration proﬁle:

1 Using iPod touch, open the email message or download the conﬁguration proﬁle from

the website provided by your system administrator.

2 When the conﬁguration proﬁle opens, tap Install.

3 Enter passwords and other information as requested.

Important: You may be asked to verify that the conﬁguration proﬁle is trusted. If in

doubt, consult your system administrator before installing a conﬁguration proﬁle.

Settings provided by a conﬁguration proﬁle cannot be altered. If you want to change these settings, you must ﬁrst remove the conﬁguration proﬁle or install an updated conﬁguration proﬁle.

Remove a proﬁle: In Settings, choose General > Proﬁle, then select the conﬁguration proﬁle and tap Remove.

Removing a conﬁguration proﬁle deletes the settings and all other information installed by the conﬁguration proﬁle from iPod touch.

Disconnecting iPod touch from Your Computer

Unless iPod touch is syncing with your computer, you can disconnect it from your computer at any time.

When iPod touch is syncing with your computer, iPod touch shows “Sync in progress.” If

you disconnect iPod touch before it ﬁnishes syncing, some data may not get transferred. When iPod touch ﬁnishes syncing, iTunes shows “iPod touch sync is complete.”

Cancel a sync: Drag the slider on iPod touch.

Viewing in Landscape

Many iPod touch applications let you view the screen in either portrait or landscape orientation. Rotate iPod touch and the display rotates too, adjusting automatically to

ﬁt the new screen orientation.

You may prefer landscape for viewing webpages in Safari, or when entering text, for example. Webpages automatically scale to the wider screen in landscape, making the text and images larger. Similarly, the onscreen keyboard is larger in landscape, which may help increase your typing speed and accuracy.

The following applications support both portrait and landscape orientation:

Music and Video 

Mail 

Safari 

Notes 

Contacts 

Stocks 

Photos 

Calculator 

Movies viewed in Video and YouTube appear only in landscape orientation. Street views in Maps also appear in landscape.

Onscreen Keyboard

Use the onscreen keyboard to enter text, such as contact information and web addresses.

Dictionary

Suggested word

For many languages, iPod touch has dictionaries to help you type. The appropriate dictionary is activated automatically when you select a supported keyboard.
