What You Need
To use iPod touch, you need:
• A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 port and one of the following operating systems:
• Mac OS X version 10.4.11 or later; version 10.5.7 or later is required for
syncing Notes
• Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
• Windows Vista Home Premium, Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate edition
• Display resolution on your computer set to 1024 x 768 or higher
• iTunes 9 or later, available at www.itunes.com/download
• QuickTime 7.6.2 or later
• 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.
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 VoiceOver
If 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 144.
Note:  VoiceOver isn’t available in all languages.
Chapter 1    Getting Started
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
• 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.
Chapter 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
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.”
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 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.
10
Chapter 1    Getting Started
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 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 off 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 Configure 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 Pane
Use 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 Panes
Use 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 specified, 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 Pane
You 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. You can
also sync photos and videos in any folder on your computer that contains images.
Chapter 1    Getting Started
11
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.)
• Web Browser
You can sync bookmarks from Safari on a Mac, or from Safari or Microsoft Internet
Explorer on a PC.
• Notes
Sync notes in the Notes application on iPod touch with notes in Mail on a Mac or
with Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC. (On a Mac, you must have Mac OS
version 10.5.7 or later installed to sync notes.)
• 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.
• 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
Preventing Automatic Syncing
You can 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 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 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 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.
Chapter 1    Getting Started
13
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 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 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.
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 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.
Chapter 1    Getting Started
15
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.
