 Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
 Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional (SP3)

Setting Up iPod touch
Before you can use iPod touch, you must set it up in iTunes. During setup, you can
create a new Apple account or specify an existing Apple account to enable purchases
with iPod touch. (The iTunes Store may not be available in all countries or regions.)
iTunes also records the serial number of your iPod touch in case you need it.
Set up 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 songs, videos, and apps from your iTunes library, and with your photos on your
computer. For information about customizing your sync contacts, see “Syncing with
iTunes” on page 46.
Note: If you have a visual impairment, VoiceOver (iPod touch 3rd generation or later)
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 (Mac) or
GW Micro Window-Eyes (PC), and automatically enables VoiceOver on iPod touch. A
sighted user can also enable VoiceOver on iPod touch using Accessibility settings. See
“VoiceOver” on page 190. VoiceOver may not be available in all languages.
Disconnecting iPod touch from Your Computer
You can disconnect iPod touch from your computer at any time. However, if you
disconnect it while a sync is in progress, some data may not get synced until the next
time you connect iPod touch to your computer.
When iPod touch is syncing with your computer, iPod touch shows “Sync in Progress.”

Syncing and File Sharing
About Syncing
Syncing copies information from your computer or online account to iPod touch, then
keeps the information “in sync” by copying changes made in one location to the other.
You use iTunes on your computer to sync:
 contacts, calendars, browser bookmarks, and notes
 iOS apps
 music, movies, and other iTunes content
 photos and videos
By default, syncing occurs whenever you connect iPod touch to your computer.
;QWECPCNUQEQP°IWTGK2QFVQWEJVQCEEGUUCEEQWPVUYKVJQPNKPGUGTXKEGRTQXKFGTU
such as MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, Google, Yahoo!, and others. Your information
on those services is synced over the air.
Syncing Accounts
MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, Google, Yahoo!, and other online service providers sync
information—which might include contacts, calendars, browser bookmarks, and notes
(iPod touch 3rd generation or later)—via your Wi-Fi Internet connection (over the air),
so that you don’t have to connect iPod touch to your computer. Syncing notes over
the air is available on iPod touch 3rd generation or later.
Some service providers—including MobileMe and Microsoft Exchange—push
information updates. This means that syncing happens whenever any information is
changed. The Push setting in Fetch New Data must be turned on (it’s on by default).
Other providers sync by periodically “fetching” changes that have occurred. Use the
Fetch setting to determine how frequently this happens. See “Fetch New Data” on
page 169.
For information about setting up accounts on iPod touch, see “Adding Mail, Contacts,
and Calendar Accounts” on page 19.

Syncing with iTunes
You can set iTunes to sync any or all of the following:
 Music
 Movies
 TV Shows
 Games and apps downloaded from the App Store
 Music videos
 Podcasts
 Books and audiobooks
 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
 Email account settings
 Webpage bookmarks
;QWECPCFLWUVU[PEUGVVKPIUYJGPGXGTK2QFVQWEJKUEQPPGEVGFVQ[QWTEQORWVGT
Music, audiobooks, podcasts, books, iTunes U collections, videos, and apps are synced
from your iTunes library. If you don’t already have content in iTunes, the iTunes
Store (not available in all countries or regions) makes it easy to preview content and
download it 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 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

Syncing Voice Memos
iTunes syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPod touch to
your computer. This lets you listen to voice memos on your computer and provides a
backup if you delete them from iPod touch.
Voice memos are synced to the Voice Memos playlist. iTunes creates the playlist if it
doesn’t exist. When you sync voice memos to iTunes, they remain in the Voice Memos
app until you delete them. If you delete a voice memo on iPod touch, it isn’t deleted
from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from
iTunes, it is deleted from iPod touch the next time you sync with iTunes.
You can sync the iTunes Voice Memos playlist to the Music app on iPod touch using
the Music pane in iTunes.
Sync the Voice Memos playlist to iPod touch:
1 Connect iPod touch to your computer.
2 In iTunes, select iPod touch in the Devices list.

About Contacts
Contacts makes it easy to keep track of your friends and associates. You can add
contacts directly on iPod touch, or sync contacts from applications on your computer.
If you have a MobileMe or Microsoft Exchange account with Contacts enabled, or
a supported CardDAV account, you can sync your contacts over the air without
connecting iPod touch to your computer.
Adding Contacts
You can add contacts to iPod touch in the following ways:
 In iTunes, sync contacts from Google or Yahoo!, or sync with applications on your
computer (see “iPod touch Settings Panes in iTunes” on page 47)
 Set up MobileMe or Microsoft Exchange accounts on iPod touch, with Contacts
enabled (see “Setting Up MobileMe Accounts” on page 20 or “Setting Up Microsoft
Exchange Accounts” on page 20)

Move the insertion point: Use the rotor to choose whether you want to move the
insertion point by character, by word, or by line. By default, VoiceOver moves the
insertion point character-by-character.
Flick up or down to move the insertion point forward or backward in the text.
VoiceOver makes a sound when the insertion point moves, and speaks the character
that the insertion point moves across.
When moving the insertion point by word, VoiceOver speaks each word as you
move across it. When moving forward, the insertion point is placed at the end of
the traversed word, before the space or punctuation that follows it. When moving
backward, the insertion point is placed the end of the word preceding the traversed
word, before the space or punctuation that follows it. To move the insertion point
past the punctuation at the end of a word or sentence, use the rotor to switch back to
character mode.
When moving the insertion point by line, VoiceOver speaks each line as you move
across it. When moving forward, the insertion point is placed at the beginning of the
next line (except when you reach the last line of a paragraph, when the insertion point

Backing Up iPod touch
iTunes creates backups of settings, downloaded apps 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. See “Updating
and Restoring iPod touch Software” on page 207.
205
Backing up iPod touch or restoring from a backup isn’t the same as syncing content
and other items (such as music, podcasts, photos, videos, and apps that you download
via iTunes) with your iTunes library. Backups include settings, downloaded apps and
data, and other information on iPod touch. After you restore iPod touch, you need
to sync again to get your music, videos, photos, apps, and other content back on
iPod touch. See “Restoring from a Backup” on page 208.
Apps downloaded from the App Store are backed up the next time you sync with
iTunes. Afterwards, only app data is backed up when you sync with iTunes.
Creating a Backup
iTunes creates a backup of iPod touch when you:
 Sync with iTunes
By default, iTunes syncs iPod touch each time you connect iPod touch to your
computer. See “Syncing with iTunes” on page 46. iTunes won’t automatically back

sync with iTunes on that computer.
 Restore iPod touch (if you choose to back up)
iTunes asks if you want to back up iPod touch before restoring it.
For more information about backups, including the settings and information stored in
a backup, go to support.apple.com/kb/HT1766.
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 doesn’t need to be connected).
3 Select the backup you want to remove, then click Delete Backup.

 If you update, the iPod touch software is updated. Your downloaded apps, settings,
CPFFCVCCTGP¨VCÒGEVGF
Note: In some cases, an update may also involve restoring iPod touch.
 If you restore, the latest version of iPod touch software is reinstalled, settings are
restored to their default, and all data stored on iPod touch is deleted, including
downloaded apps, 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 it isn’t
erased from iPod touch. For information about erasing all content and settings, see
“Resetting iPod touch” on page 165.
If you use a Bluetooth headset with iPod touch and you restore settings, you must pair
the Bluetooth device with iPod touch again to use it.
For more information about updating and restoring iPod touch software, go to
support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.
Updating iPod touch
Make sure you have an Internet connection and have installed the latest version of
iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes.
Update iPod touch:
1 Connect iPod touch to your computer.
2 In iTunes, select iPod touch in the Devices list, then click Summary at the top of
the screen.
3 Click “Check for Update.” iTunes tells you if there’s a newer version of the iPod touch
software available.
4 Click Update to install the latest version of the software.
Restoring iPod touch
Make sure you have an Internet connection and have installed the latest version of
iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes.
Restore iPod touch:
1 Connect iPod touch to your computer.

4 Click Restore. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the restore process. When
restoring, it is recommended that you back up iPod touch when prompted.
When the iPod touch software has been restored, you can either set it up as a new
iPod touch, or restore your music, videos, app data, and other content from a backup.
After you restore from a backup, previous data is no longer accessible through the
iPod touch user interface, but it isn’t erased from iPod touch. For information about
erasing all content and settings, see “Resetting iPod touch” on page 165.
Restoring from a Backup
You can restore the settings, app data, and other information from a backup, or
use this feature to transfer these items to another iPod touch. Make sure you have
an Internet connection and have installed the latest version of iTunes from
www.apple.com/itunes.
Important: Restoring from a backup is not the same as restoring iPod touch from the
Summary pane in iTunes. See “Restoring iPod touch” on page 207. Restoring from a
backup does not fully restore iPod touch software. Also, restoring iPod touch from a
backup restores all data in the backup, including data for apps. If you choose an old
backup, restoring from it could replace the app data with data that is not current.
If you restore iPod touch from a backup of some other iPhone or iPod touch, some
passwords and settings may not be restored. (Additional, but still not all, passwords
and settings may be restored if the backup is encrypted.) For more information about
the settings and information stored in a backup, go to support.apple.com/kb/HT1766.
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 Devices list 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, enter your password.
