General
The General settings include date and time, security, network, and other settings that
affect more than one application. This is also where you can find information about
your iPod touch, and reset iPod touch to its original state.
About
Choose General > About to get information about iPod touch, including:
• Number of songs, videos, and photos
• Total storage capacity
• Space available
• Software version
• Serial and model numbers
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth addresses
• Legal information
• Regulatory information
Wallpaper
You see a wallpaper background picture when you unlock iPod touch. You can
select one of the images that came with iPod touch, or use a photo you’ve synced to
iPod touch from your computer.
Set wallpaper: Choose Wallpaper and choose a picture.
Sounds
Adjust alerts volume: Choose General > Sounds and drag the slider. Or, if no song or
video is playing use the volume buttons on the side of iPod touch.
Note:  On the first-generation iPod touch, choose General > Sounds and select whether
you want sound effects to play over the internal speaker, through the headphones,
or both.
Set alert and effects sounds: Choose General > Sounds and turn items on or off.
You can set iPod touch to play a sound whenever you:
• Get an email message
• Send an email message
• Have an appointment that you’ve set up to alert you
• Lock iPod touch
• Type using the keyboard
Network
Use the Network settings to configure a VPN (virtual private network) connection,
or access Wi-Fi settings.
Chapter 18    Settings

Add a new VPN configuration: Choose General > Network > VPN > Add VPN
Configuration.
VPNs used within organizations allow you to communicate private information
securely over a non-private network. You may need to configure VPN, for example, to
access your work email on iPod touch.
iPod touch can connect to VPNs that use the L2TP, PPTP, or Cisco IPSec protocols.
Ask your network administrator which settings to use. In most cases, if you’ve set up
VPN on your computer, you can use the same VPN settings for iPod touch.
Once you’ve entered VPN settings, a VPN switch appears in the Settings menu that you
can use to turn VPN on or off.
VPN may also be automatically set up by a configuration profile. See “Installing
Configuration Profiles” on page 15.
Change a VPN configuration: Choose General > Network > VPN and tap the
configuration you want to update.
Turn VPN on or off: Tap Settings and turn VPN on or off.
Delete a VPN configuration: Choose General > Network > VPN, tap the blue arrow
to the right of the configuration name, and tap Delete VPN at the bottom of the
configuration screen.
Bluetooth
iPod touch can connect wirelessly to Bluetooth headphone devices for music listening
(not available on first-generation iPod touch). See “Bluetooth Headphones” on page 34.
Turn Bluetooth on or off: Choose General > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth on or off.
Location Services
Location Services allows applications such as Maps to gather and use data indicating
your location. Location Services doesn’t correlate the data it collects with your
personally identifiable information. Your approximate location is determined using
available information from local Wi-Fi networks (if you have Wi-Fi turned on).
You can turn Location Services off if you don’t want to use this feature. If you turn
Location Services off, you’ll be prompted to turn it on again the next time an
application tries to use this feature.
Turn Location Services on or off: Choose General > Location Services and turn
location services on or off.
To conserve battery life, turn Location Services off when you’re not using it.
Auto-Lock
Locking iPod touch turns off the display to save your battery and to prevent
unintended operation of iPod touch.

(which is encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption)
• On Fall 2009 models with less than 32 GB, and models prior to Fall 2009: by overwriting
the data
Important:  You can’t use iPod touch while data is being overwritten. This can take
up to four hours or more, depending on the model and storage capacity of your
iPod touch. (On Fall 2009 models with 32 GB or more, the removal of the encryption
key is immediate.)

Change an account’s settings: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” choose an account,
then make the changes you want.
Chapter 18    Settings
125
Changes you make to an account’s settings on iPod touch are not synced to your
computer, so you can configure your accounts to work with iPod touch without
affecting the account settings on your computer.
Stop using an account: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” choose an account, then
turn Account off.
If an account is off, iPod touch doesn’t display the account and doesn’t send or check
email from or sync other information with that account, until you turn it back on.
Adjust advanced settings: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” choose an account,
then do one of the following:
• To set whether drafts, sent messages, and deleted messages are stored on iPod touch or
remotely on your email server (IMAP accounts only), tap Advanced and choose Drafts
Mailbox, Sent Mailbox, or Deleted Mailbox.
If you store messages on iPod touch, you can see them even when iPod touch isn’t
connected to the Internet.
• To set how long before messages are removed permanently from Mail on iPod touch, tap
Advanced and tap Remove, then choose a time: Never, or after one day, one week, or
one month.
• To adjust email server settings, tap Host Name, User Name, or Password under
Incoming Mail Server or Outgoing Mail Server. Ask your network administrator or
Internet service provider for the correct settings.
• To adjust SSL and password settings, tap Advanced. Ask your network administrator or
Internet service provider for the correct settings.
Delete an account from iPod touch: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” choose an
account, then scroll down and tap Delete Account.
Deleting an account means you can no longer access the account with your
iPod touch. All email and the contacts, calendar, and bookmark information synced
with the account are removed from iPod touch. However, deleting an account doesn’t
remove the account or its associated information from your computer.
Fetch New Data
This setting lets you turn Push on or off for MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, Yahoo!
Mail, and any other push accounts you’ve configured on iPod touch. Push accounts
automatically deliver new information to iPod touch when new information appears
on the server (some delays may occur). To fetch or sync pushed data, iPod touch must
join a Wi-Fi network that is connected to the Internet. You might want to turn Push off
to suspend delivery of email and other information, or to conserve battery life.
When Push is off, and with accounts that don’t support push, data can still be
fetched—that is, iPod touch can check with the server and see if new information is
available. Use the Fetch New Data setting to determine how often data is requested.
For optimal battery life, don’t fetch too frequently.

messages when you’re in Mail, scroll to the bottom of your inbox and tap Load More
Messages.
Note:  For Microsoft Exchange accounts, choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” and choose
the Exchange account. Tap “Mail days to sync” and choose the number of days of mail
you want to sync with the server.
Set how many lines of each message are previewed in the message list: Choose
“Mail, Contacts, Calendars” > Preview, then choose a setting.
You can choose to see up to five lines of each message. That way, you can scan a list of
messages in a mailbox and get an idea of what each message is about.
Set a minimum font size for messages: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” > Minimum
Font Size, then choose Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large, or Giant.
Set whether iPod touch shows To and Cc labels in message lists: Choose “Mail,
Contacts, Calendars,” then turn Show To/Cc Label on or off.
If Show To/Cc Label is on, To or Cc next to each message in a list indicates whether
the message was sent directly to you or you received a copy.
Set whether iPod touch confirms that you want to delete a message: Choose “Mail,
Contacts, Calendars” and turn Ask Before Deleting on or off.
If Ask Before Deleting is on, to delete a message you must tap , then confirm by
tapping Delete.

This setting determines which of your accounts a message is sent from when you
create a message from another iPod touch application, such as sending a photo from
Photos or tapping the email address of a business in Maps. To send the message from
a different account, tap the From field in the message and choose another account.
Add a signature to your messages: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” > Signature,
then type a signature.
You can set iPod touch to add a signature—your favorite quote, or your name, title,
and phone number, for example—to the bottom of every message you send.

• To set whether Safari accepts cookies, tap Accept Cookies and choose Never, “From
visited,” or Always.
A cookie is a piece of information that a website puts on iPod touch so the website
can remember you when you visit again. That way, webpages can be customized for
you based on information you may have provided.
Some pages won’t work correctly unless iPod touch is set to accept cookies.
• To clear the history of webpages you’ve visited, tap Clear History.
• To clear all cookies from Safari, tap Clear Cookies.
• To clear the browser cache, tap Clear Cache.
The browser cache stores the content of pages so the pages open faster the next
time you visit them. If a page you open doesn’t show new content, clearing the
cache may help.
Developer
The debug console can help you resolve webpage errors. If it’s turned on, the console
appears automatically when a webpage error occurs.
Turn the debug console on or off: Choose Safari > Developer, and turn Debug
Console on or off.

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 off in the Accessibility settings on
iPod touch. You can also turn accessibility features on or off in iTunes when iPod touch
is connected to your computer.
Turn accessibility features on or off in iTunes:
1 Connect iPod touch to your computer.
2 In iTunes, select iPod touch in the sidebar.
3 In the Summary pane, click Configure 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 specified in International settings,
which may be influenced 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 benefit 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 first 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 off again to resume standard operation.
Turn VoiceOver on or off: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and
tap the VoiceOver On/Off switch.
You can also set Triple-click Home to turn VoiceOver on or off. See “Triple-click
Home” on page 148.
Note:  You cannot use VoiceOver and Zoom at the same time.

and tap the Speak Hints On/Off switch. Spoken hints are turned on by default.
Set the VoiceOver speaking rate: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility >
VoiceOver, and adjust the Speaking Rate slider.
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 finish it by entering a space or punctuation.
Choose typing feedback: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver >
Typing Feedback, then choose Characters, Words, Characters and Words, or Nothing.

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 finished practicing, tap Done.
VoiceOver Gestures
When VoiceOver is turned on, the standard touchscreen gestures have different effects.
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 fingers to tap or flick. For best results when using two- and threefinger gestures, relax and let your fingers touch the screen with some space between
your fingers.
You can use standard gestures when VoiceOver is turned on, by double-tapping and
holding your finger on the screen. A series of tones indicates that normal gestures
are in force. They remain in effect until you lift your finger. Then VoiceOver gestures
resume.
You can use many different techniques to enter VoiceOver gestures. For example, you
can enter a two-finger tap using two fingers from one hand, or one finger from each
hand. You can also use your thumbs. Try different techniques to discover which works
best for you.
If your gestures don’t work, try quicker movements, especially for double-tap and
flicking gestures. To flick, try quickly brushing the screen with your finger or fingers.
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-finger tap: Stop speaking the current item.
• Two-finger flick up: Read all from top of screen.
• Two-finger flick down: Read all from current position.
• Three-finger flick up or down: Scroll one page at a time.
• Three-finger flick right or left: Go to the next or previous page (such as the Home
screen, Stocks, or Safari).
• Three-finger tap: Speak the scroll status (which page or rows are visible).
Select and Activate
• Double-tap: Activate selected item.
• Touch an item with one finger, tap the screen with another finger (“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 finger, drag your finger to slide a switch.
• Two-finger 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-finger double tap: Mute or unmute VoiceOver.
• Three-finger triple tap: Turn the display on or off.
Do single-finger flicking 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 flick gestures when VoiceOver is turned on.
Operate the rotor: Rotate two fingers on the iPod touch screen to “turn” the dial to
choose between options.
142
Chapter 21    Accessibility
The effect 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 flick 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.
Reading text
• Select and hear text character-by-character
• Select and hear text word-by-word
Browsing a webpage
• Select and hear text character-by-character
• Select and hear text word-by-word

Using VoiceOver
Select items on the screen: Drag your finger over the screen. VoiceOver identifies
each element as you touch it. You can also move systematically from one element to
the next by flicking left or right with a single finger. Elements are selected from leftto-right, top-to-bottom. Flick right to go to the next element, or flick left to go to the
previous element.
“Tap” a selected item when VoiceOver is turned on: Double-tap anywhere on the
screen.
Speak the text of an element, character by character or word by word: With the
element selected, flick up or down with one finger. Flick down to read the next
character, or flick up to read the previous character. Twist the rotor control to read
word by word.
Adjust a slider: With a single finger, flick up to increase the setting or down to
decrease the setting. VoiceOver announces the setting as you adjust it.
Scroll a list or area of the screen: Flick up or down with three fingers. Flick down
to page down through the list, or flick up to page up through the list. When paging
through a list, VoiceOver speaks the range of items displayed (for example, “showing
rows 5 through 10”).
You can also scroll continuously through a list, instead of paging through it. Doubletap and hold. When you hear a series of tones, you can move your finger up or down
to scroll the list. Continuous scrolling stops when you lift your finger.
Use a list index: Some lists have an alphabetical index along the right side. The index
cannot be selected by flicking between elements; you must touch the index directly
to select it. With the index selected, flick up or down to move along the index. You can
also double-tap, then slide your finger up or down.
Unlock iPod touch: Select the Unlock switch, then double-tap the screen.
Rearrange the Home screen: On the Home screen select the icon you want to move.
Double-tap and hold, then drag the icon. VoiceOver speaks the row and column
position as your drag the icon. Release the icon when it’s in the location you want. You
can drag additional icons. Drag an item to the left or right edge of the screen to move
it to another page of the Home screen. When you’re finished rearranging the icons,
press the Home button.

When you select a text field with VoiceOver, you can use the onscreen keyboard to
enter text. You can use the editing features of iPod touch to cut, copy, or paste in the
text field.
Note:  Safari doesn’t support copying webpage content. The editing features work only
in editable text fields.
Enter text:
1 Use VoiceOver to select an editable text field, then double tap to display the insertion
point and bring up the onscreen keyboard. If the field already contains text, the
insertion point is placed at the beginning or at the end of the text. Double-tap again
to place the insertion point at the opposite end. VoiceOver tells you the position of the
insertion point.
The insertion point and onscreen keyboard may appear automatically when you select
a text field. VoiceOver announces when you’re in editing mode.
2 To type, select a key on the keyboard by flicking left or right, then double-tap to
enter the character. Or drag you finger around the keyboard to select a key, and,
while holding the key with one finger, tap the screen with another finger to enter the
character. VoiceOver speaks the key when it’s selected, and again when it’s entered.
To enter an accented character, double-tap and hold until you hear a sound that
indicates the alternate characters have appeared, then drag left or right to select and
hear the choices. Release your finger to enter the current selection.

backward in the text. VoiceOver makes a sound when the insertion point moves, and
speaks the character that the insertion point moved across. Use the rotor to choose
whether you want to move the insertion point by character or by word.
Select text: Use the rotor to choose edit. Flick up or down to choose between the
Select and Select All functions, then double tap. If you chose Select, the word closest

memo you want to trim, then double-tap. Then select Trim Memo and double-tap.
Select the beginning or end of the trim tool. Flick up to drag to the right, or flick down
to drag to the left. VoiceOver announces the amount of time the current position will
trim from the recording. To execute the trim, select Trim Voice Memo and double-tap.
Zoom
Many iPod touch applications let you zoom in and out specific elements. For example,
you can double-tap or use the pinch gesture to expand webpage columns in Safari.
Zoom is a special accessibility feature that lets you magnify the entire screen of any
application you’re using to help you see what’s on the display.
Turn Zoom on or off: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > Zoom and tap the
Zoom On/Off switch.
146
Chapter 21    Accessibility
Note:  You cannot use VoiceOver and Zoom at the same time.
Zoom in or out: Double-tap the screen with three fingers. By default, the screen is
magnified by 200 percent. If you manually change the magnification (by using the
tap-and-drag gesture, described below), iPod touch automatically returns to that
magnification when you zoom in by double-tapping with three fingers.
Increase magnification: With three fingers, tap and drag toward the top of the
screen (to increase magnification) or toward the bottom of the screen (to decrease
magnification). The tap-and-drag gesture is similar to a double-tap, except you don’t
lift your fingers on the second tap—instead, drag your fingers on the screen. Once you
start dragging, you can drag with a single finger.
Move around the screen: When zoomed in, drag or flick the screen with three fingers.
Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single finger so that you can see more
of the screen. Hold a single finger near the edge of the display to pan to that side of
the screen image. Move your finger closer to the edge to pan more quickly. When you
open a new screen, Zoom always goes to the top-middle of the screen.
White on Black
Use White on Black to invert the colors on the iPod touch display, which may make it
easier to read the screen. The screen looks like a photographic negative when White
on Black is turned on.
Invert the screen’s colors: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility and tap the
“White on Black” switch.
Mono Audio
Mono Audio combines the sound of the left and right channels into a mono signal
played on both sides. This enables users with hearing impairment in one ear to hear
the entire sound signal with the other ear.
Turn Mono Audio on or off: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility and tap the
Mono Audio switch.
Speak Auto-text
Speak Auto-text speaks the text corrections and suggestions iPod touch makes when
you’re typing.
Turn Speak Auto-text on or off: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility and tap
the Speak Auto-text switch.
Speak Auto-text also works with VoiceOver or Zoom.

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 file 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 file formats are supported by iPod touch:
• H.264 (Baseline Profile Level 3.0)
• MPEG-4 (Simple Profile)
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 files 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 files, 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.

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 configured 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 configured to sync with
that computer. If you’ve configured iPod touch to automatically sync with iTunes on
a specific 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 configured 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 122.
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 Confirm you wish to remove the selected backup by clicking Delete Backup.
5 Click OK to close the iTunes Preferences Window.

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 affected.
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.
For more information about updating and restoring iPod touch software, go to
www.apple.com/support and search for HT1414.
