Registering iPod touchBefore 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.Register iPod touch: 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.Setting Up iPod touch Using VoiceOverIf you’re visually impaired, VoiceOver (available only on Fall 2009 models with 32 GB or more) can help you set up iPod touch without a sighted assistant. VoiceOver describes aloud what appears on the screen, so you can use iPod touch without seeing it. When you connect iPod touch to your computer, iTunes detects whether you’re using a compatible screen reader on your computer, such as VoiceOver on a Mac or GW Micro Window-Eyes on a PC, and automatically enables VoiceOver on iPod touch. A sighted user can also enable VoiceOver on iPod touch for you, using Accessibility settings. See “Using VoiceOver” on page 14 4.Note: VoiceOver isn’t available in all languages.8Chapter 1 Getting Started
SyncingAbout SyncingWith 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 iTunesYou can set iTunes to sync any or all of the following:Music and audiobooks• Movies• TV Shows• Games and applications downloaded from the iTunes Store• Music videos• Podcasts• iTunes U collections• Photos and videos (in your computer’s photo application or folder)• Contacts—names, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, and more• Calendars—appointments and events• Notes (requires Mac OS X version 10.5.7 or later on a Mac, or Microsoft Outlook 2003 • or 2007 on a PC)Email account settings• Webpage bookmarks• You can adjust sync settings whenever iPod touch is connected to your computer.Music, audiobooks, podcasts, iTunes U collections, videos, and applications can be 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 and videos (Mac only) can be synced from an application or from a folder.9Chapter 1 Getting Started
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 aecting email account settings on your computer.Note: You can also set up email accounts directly on iPod touch. See “Mail, Contacts, and Calendar Accounts.”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. 3 Congure 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 iTunesThe following sections provide an overview of each of the iPod touch settings panes.

For more information about preventing automatic syncing, see “Preventing Automatic Syncing” on page 13 .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 o automatic syncing in the Music and Video settings panes. See “Manually Managing Content” on page 41.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 156.Click Congure Universal Access to turn on Accessibility features (available only on Fall 2009 models with 32 GB or more). See Chapter 21, “Accessibility,” on page 139.Applications PaneUse the Applications pane to specify which App Store applications to sync on iPod touch, or to arrange your Home screen (requires iTunes 9 or later). 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.Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, and iTunes U PanesUse these panes to specify the media you want to sync. You can sync all music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and iTunes U collections, or select the content 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.If there’s not enough room on iPod touch for all the media you’ve specied, iTunes can create a special playlist and set it to sync with iPod touch.Note: The iTunes U pane appears only in iTunes 9 or later. In earlier versions of iTunes, iTunes U content appeared in the Podcasts pane.Photos PaneYou can sync photos and videos (Mac only, iTunes 9 required) with iPhoto 4.0.3 or later, or Aperture on a Mac; or with Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 or later on a PC.

In Settings, choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” tap your Yahoo! account, and enter the password.Advanced• These options let you replace the information on iPod touch with the information on your computer during the next sync.12 Chapter 1 Getting Started
Preventing Automatic SyncingYou can prevent iPod touch from syncing automatically when you connect iPod touch to a computer other than the one you usually sync with.Turn o 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 still 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, connect iPod touch to your computer, then 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 bottom-right corner of the window. Or, if you’ve changed any sync settings, click Apply.Mail, Contacts, and Calendar AccountsiPod touch works with MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, and many of the most popular email systems.Setting Up AccountsMobileMe 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 popular email accounts, iPod touch automatically enters most of the settings for you.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.13Chapter 1 Getting Started
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 eld.) 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 iPod touch feature that helps you locate iPod touch if it’s been lost or stolen, and remotely lock, set a passcode, or erase the information on iPod touch if necessary. See “Security Features” on page 37. 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 o, 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.14 Chapter 1 Getting Started
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 84.You can subscribe to CalDAV or iCal (.ics) calendars. See “Subscribing to and Sharing Calendars” on page 75.Push AccountsMobileMe, 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 Conguration ProlesIf you’re in an enterprise environment, you may be able to set up accounts and other items on iPod touch by installing a conguration prole. Conguration proles 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 conguration prole 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.Conguration proles can congure multiple settings on iPod touch all at once. For example, a conguration prole can set up your Microsoft Exchange account, VPN account, and certicates for secure access to your company’s network and information. A conguration prole may turn on the Passcode Lock, requiring you to create and enter a passcode for using iPod touch.Your system administrator may distribute conguration proles by email or by putting them on a secure webpage. A system administrator may also install a conguration prole directly on iPod touch for you.15Chapter 1 Getting Started
Install a conguration prole: 1 Using iPod touch, open the email message or download the conguration prole from the website provided by your system administrator. 2 When the conguration prole opens, tap Install. 3 Enter passwords and other information as requested.Important: You may be asked to verify that the conguration prole is trusted. If in doubt, consult your system administrator before installing a conguration prole.Settings provided by a conguration prole cannot be altered. If you want to change these settings, you must rst remove the conguration prole or install an updated conguration prole.Remove a prole: In Settings, choose General > Prole, then select the conguration prole and tap Remove.Removing a conguration prole deletes the settings and all other information installed by the conguration prole from iPod touch. Disconnecting iPod touch from Your ComputerUnless 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 nishes syncing, some data may not get transferred. When iPod touch nishes syncing, iTunes shows “iPod touch sync is complete.”Cancel a sync: Drag the slider on iPod touch. 16 Chapter 1 Getting Started
