Getting Started · 1 WARNING: To avoid injury, read all operating instructions in this guide and safety information in the Important Product Information Guide at www.apple.com/support/manuals/ipodtouch before using iPod touch. What You Need To use iPod touch, you need: ÂÂ A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 port and one of the following operating systems: ÂÂ Mac OS X version 10.4.
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 your contacts, calendars, and bookmarks on your computer. Syncing with iTunes With iPod touch, it’s easy to have instant access to your contacts, calendars, and even your browser bookmarks. iTunes can sync all this information to iPod touch, and your music, video, and other iTunes library content as well.
Music, audiobooks, podcasts, video content, and purchased applications are 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 purchase or subscribe to 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.
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. 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.
Info Pane The Info pane lets you configure the sync settings for your contacts, calendars, email accounts, and web browser. ÂÂ Contacts You can sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Microsoft Entourage, Yahoo! Address Book, and Google Address Book on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Address Book, Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), Vista Contacts, or Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync contacts with multiple applications.
Music, Movies, TV Shows, and Podcasts Panes Use these panes to specify the media you want to sync. You can sync all music, movies, TV shows, and podcasts, or select the playlists and items 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 asks if you want to create a special playlist.
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 Safari bookmarks. You set up MobileMe, Exchange, and other email accounts directly on iPod touch.
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 your computer or 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.
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.
