Accessibility Features
In addition to the many features that make iPod touch easy to use for everyone,
accessibility features (available only on Fall 2009 models with 32 GB or more) are
designed to make it easier for users with visual, auditory, or other physical disabilities
to use iPod touch. These accessibility features include:
VoiceOver•
Zoom•
White on Black•
Mono Audio•
Speak Auto-text•
With the exception of VoiceOver, these accessibility features work with all iPod touch
applications, including third-party applications you download from the App Store.
VoiceOver works with all applications that come preinstalled on iPod touch. In
addition, third-party developers can use the iPod touch Accessibility API to make their
applications accessible for VoiceOver users.
For more information about the accessibility features of iPod touch,
go to www.apple.com/accessibility.
Each accessibility feature can be turned on or o in the Accessibility settings on
iPod touch. You can also turn accessibility features on or o in iTunes when iPod touch
is connected to your computer.
Turn accessibility features on or o in iTunes:
1 Connect iPod touch to your computer.
2 In iTunes, select iPod touch in the sidebar.
3 In the Summary pane, click Congure Universal Access in the Options section.

4 Select the accessibility features that you want to use and click OK.
VoiceOver
VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so that you can use iPod touch
without seeing it. VoiceOver speaks in the language specied in International settings,
which may be inuenced by the Region Locale setting.
Note: VoiceOver isn’t available in all languages.
VoiceOver tells you about each element on the screen as it’s selected. When an
element is selected, it’s enclosed by a black rectangle (for the benet of those who can
see the screen) and VoiceOver speaks the name or describes the item. The enclosing
rectangle is referred to as the VoiceOver cursor. If text is selected, VoiceOver reads the
text. If a control (such as a button or switch) is selected and Speak Hints is turned on,
VoiceOver may tell you the action of the item or provide instructions for you—for
example, “double-tap to open.”
When you go to a new screen, VoiceOver plays a sound and automatically selects and
speaks the rst element of the screen (typically, the item in the upper-left corner).
VoiceOver also lets you know when the display changes to landscape or portrait, and
when the screen is locked or unlocked.
Setting Up VoiceOver
Important: VoiceOver changes the gestures used to control iPod touch. Once
VoiceOver is turned on, you have to use VoiceOver gestures to operate iPod touch—
even to turn VoiceOver o again to resume standard operation.
Turn VoiceOver on or o: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and
tap the VoiceOver On/O switch.
You can also set Triple-click Home to turn VoiceOver on or o. See “Triple-click
Home” on page 148.
Note: You cannot use VoiceOver and Zoom at the same time.

You can choose what kind of feedback you get when you type. You can set VoiceOver
to speak characters, words, both, or nothing. If you choose to hear both characters and
words, VoiceOver speaks each character as you type it, then speaks the whole word
when you nish it by entering a space or punctuation.

Practice gestures: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Practice
Gestures, then tap Practice VoiceOver Gestures. Practice the gestures described in
“VoiceOver Gestures,” below. When you’re nished practicing, tap Done.
VoiceOver Gestures
When VoiceOver is turned on, the standard touchscreen gestures have dierent eects.
These and some additional gestures allow you to move around the screen and to
control the individual elements when they’re selected. VoiceOver gestures include
using two and three ngers to tap or ick. For best results when using two- and three-
nger gestures, relax and let your ngers touch the screen with some space between
your ngers.
You can use standard gestures when VoiceOver is turned on, by double-tapping and
holding your nger on the screen. A series of tones indicates that normal gestures
are in force. They remain in eect until you lift your nger. Then VoiceOver gestures
resume.
You can use many dierent techniques to enter VoiceOver gestures. For example, you
can enter a two-nger tap using two ngers from one hand, or one nger from each
hand. You can also use your thumbs. Try dierent techniques to discover which works
best for you.
If your gestures don’t work, try quicker movements, especially for double-tap and
icking gestures. To ick, try quickly brushing the screen with your nger or ngers.
You can practice VoiceOver gestures in Settings: choose General > Accessibility >
VoiceOver > Practice Gestures and tap the Practice VoiceOver Gestures button.

Chapter 21 Accessibility
Here’s a summary of key VoiceOver gestures:
Navigate and Read
• Tap: Speak item.
• Flick right or left: Select the next or previous item.
• Flick up or down: Depends on the Rotor Control setting. See “Rotor Control” on
page 142.
• Two-nger tap: Stop speaking the current item.
• Two-nger ick up: Read all from top of screen.
• Two-nger ick down: Read all from current position.
• Three-nger ick up or down: Scroll one page at a time.
• Three-nger ick right or left: Go to the next or previous page (such as the Home
screen, Stocks, or Safari).
• Three-nger tap: Speak the scroll status (which page or rows are visible).
Select and Activate
• Double-tap: Activate selected item.
• Touch an item with one nger, tap the screen with another nger (“split-tapping”):
Activate item.
• Double-tap and hold (1 second) + standard gesture: Use a standard gesture.
The double-tap and hold gesture tells iPod touch to interpret the subsequent
gesture as standard. For example, you can double-tap and hold, then without lifting
your nger, drag your nger to slide a switch.
• Two-nger double tap: Play or pause in iPod, YouTube, Voice Memos, or Photos. Start
or pause recording in Voice Memos. Start or stop the stopwatch.
• Three-nger double tap: Mute or unmute VoiceOver.
• Three-nger triple tap: Turn the display on or o.
Do single-nger icking gestures quickly, to distinguish them from dragging gestures.
Rotor Control
The rotor control is an invisible dial that you can use to change the results of up and
down ick gestures when VoiceOver is turned on.
Operate the rotor: Rotate two ngers on the iPod touch screen to “turn” the dial to
choose between options.
142 Chapter 21 Accessibility
The eect of the rotor depends on what you’re doing. For example, if you’re reading
text in an email you received, you can use the rotor to switch between hearing text
spoken word-by-word or character-by-character when you ick up or down. If you’re
browsing a webpage, use the rotor to choose whether you hear text word-by-word
or character-by-character, hear just the headers, hear just the links (all of them, visited
links, or links not yet visited), hear form elements, or hear descriptions of images. In
other words, you can use the rotor setting to hear all the text, or to jump from one
element to another of a certain type, such as headers or links.
Rotor options depend on the context of what you’re doing.

Song, Video, or Other Items Won’t Play
The song may have been encoded in a format that iPod touch doesn’t support. The
following audio le formats are supported by iPod touch. These include formats for
audiobooks and podcasting:
AAC (M4A, M4B, M4P, up to 320 Kbps)•
Apple Lossless (a high-quality compressed format)•
MP3 (up to 320 Kbps)•
MP3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR)•
WAV•
AA (audible.com spoken word, formats 2, 3, and 4)•
AAX (audible.com spoken word, AudibleEnhanced format)•
AIFF•
The following video le formats are supported by iPod touch:
H.264 (Baseline Prole Level 3.0)•
MPEG-4 (Simple Prole)•
A song encoded using Apple Lossless format has full CD-quality sound, but takes up
only about half as much space as a song encoded using AIFF or WAV format. The same
song encoded in AAC or MP3 format takes up even less space. When you import music
from a CD using iTunes, it’s converted to AAC format by default.
Using iTunes for Windows, you can convert nonprotected WMA les to AAC or MP3
format. This can be useful if you have a library of music encoded in WMA format.
iPod touch doesn’t support WMA, MPEG Layer 1, MPEG Layer 2 audio les, or audible.
com format 1.
If you have a song or video in your iTunes library that isn’t supported by iPod touch,
you may be able to convert it to a format iPod touch supports. See iTunes Help for
more information.

Appendix A Troubleshooting
Backing Up iPod touch
iTunes creates backups of settings, downloaded applications and data, and other
information on iPod touch. You can use a backup to restore these items to your
iPod touch after a software restore or to transfer the information to another
iPod touch.
Backing up iPod touch or restoring from a backup is not the same as syncing content
and other items (such as music, podcasts, photos, videos, and applications that you
download via iTunes) with your iTunes library. Backups include settings, downloaded
applications and data, and other information that resides on iPod touch. You can
restore these items from a backup using iTunes, but you may also have to sync your
iTunes library content again.
Applications downloaded from the App Store are backed up the next time you sync
with iTunes. Afterwards, only application data is backed up when you sync with iTunes.
Creating Backups
Backups can be created in the following ways:
Once iPod touch has been congured to sync with a particular computer, iTunes •
automatically makes a backup of iPod touch on that computer when you sync.
iTunes won’t automatically back up an iPod touch that isn’t congured to sync with
that computer. If you’ve congured iPod touch to automatically sync with iTunes on
a specic computer, iTunes will back up iPod touch every time you connect it to that
computer. Automatic syncing is turned on by default. iTunes only makes one backup
each time you connect, even if you sync multiple times before disconnecting.
If you choose to update the software on iPod touch, iTunes will back up iPod touch •
automatically, even if it isn’t congured to sync with iTunes on that computer.
If you choose to restore the software on iPod touch, iTunes asks if you want to back •
up iPod touch before restoring.
If you use a Bluetooth headset or car kit with iPod touch and you restore settings, you
must pair the Bluetooth device with iPod touch again to use it.
For more information about backups, including the settings and information stored in
a backup, go to www.apple.com/support and search for HT1766.
156 Appendix A Troubleshooting
Restoring from a Backup
You can restore the settings, application data, and other information from a backup,
or use this feature to transfer these items to another iPod touch.
Restore iPod touch from a backup:
1 Connect iPod touch to the computer you normally sync with.
2 In iTunes, Control-click iPod touch in the sidebar and choose “Restore from Backup”
from the menu that appears.
3 Choose the backup that you want to restore from the pop-up menu, then click Restore.
If your backup is encrypted, you’ll need to enter your password.
After restoring from a backup, previous data is no longer accessible via the iPod touch
user interface, but it isn’t erased from your iPod touch. For information about erasing
all content and settings, see “Resetting iPod touch” on page 12 2 .
Important: Restoring iPod touch from a backup restores all data in the backup,
including data for other applications. If you choose an old backup, restoring from it
could replace the data for applications with data that is not current.
Removing a Backup
You can remove a backup of iPod touch from the list of backups in iTunes. You may
want to do this, for example, if a backup was created on someone else’s computer.
Remove a backup:
1 In iTunes, open iTunes Preferences.
• Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
• Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
2 Click Devices (iPod touch does not need to be connected).
3 Select the backup you want to remove, then click Delete Backup.
4 Conrm you wish to remove the selected backup by clicking Delete Backup.
5 Click OK to close the iTunes Preferences Window.
157
Appendix A Troubleshooting
Updating and Restoring iPod touch Software
You can use iTunes to update or reinstall iPod touch software, restore default settings,
and delete all data on iPod touch.
• If you update, the iPod touch software is updated. Your downloaded applications,
settings, and data aren’t aected.
Note: In some cases, an update may also include restoring iPod touch.
• If you restore, the latest version of iPod touch software is reinstalled, settings are
restored to their defaults, and data stored on iPod touch is deleted, including
downloaded applications, songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and
any other data. If you’ve backed up iPod touch with iTunes on your computer, you
can restore data from the backup at the end of the restore process.
Deleted data is no longer accessible via the iPod touch user interface, but isn’t erased
from your iPod touch. For information about erasing all content and settings, see
“Resetting iPod touch” on page 122 .
Update or restore iPod touch:
1 Make sure you have an Internet connection and have installed the latest version of
iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes.
2 Connect iPod touch to your computer.
3 Select iPod touch in the iTunes sidebar and click the Summary tab.
4 Click “Check for Update.” iTunes tells you if there’s a newer version of the iPod touch
software available.
5 Click Update to install the latest version of the software. Or click Restore to restore.
Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the restore process.
