6 Chapter 1 Getting Started

Chapter 1 Getting Started 7

Music, audiobooks, podcasts, video content, and purchased applications are synced from your iTunes library. If you dont 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.

Contacts, calendars, and webpage bookmarks are synced from 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. Webpage bookmarks are also synced both ways. Photos can be synced from an application or from a folder.

Email account settings are only synced from your computers 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 on page 10.

Purchases made on iPod touch from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store or the App Store are synced back to your iTunes library. You can also purchase or download music and applications directly from the iTunes Store on your computer, then sync them to iPod touch.

If you like, you can set iPod touch to sync with only a portion of whats on your computer. For example, you might want to sync only certain music playlists, or only unwatched video podcasts.

Important: You can connect and sync with only one iPod touch at a time. Disconnect one before connecting another. You should be logged in to your own computer user account before connecting iPod touch. On a PC, if you sync more than one iPod touch or iPod to the same computer user account, you must use the same sync settings for each.

Set up iTunes syncing: 1 Connect iPod touch to your computer, and open iTunes (if it doesnt 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.

Note: If you set up iPod touch to sync contacts, calendars, or bookmarks with MobileMe or Microsoft Exchange, syncing for those items is turned off in iTunes. See Setting Up Accounts on page 10.

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.

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 10.

Select Sync only checked songs and videos if you want to sync only items that are individually checked in your iTunes library.

Select Manually manage music and videos to turn off automatic syncing in the Music and Video settings panes. See Manually Managing Content on page 30.

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 theres not enough room on iPod touch for all the media youve specified, iTunes asks if you want to create a special playlist. iTunes creates the playlist for you, and sets it to sync with iPod touch.

Chapter 1 Getting Started 9

Photos Pane You can sync photos with iPhoto 4.0.3 or later, or Aperture on a Mac; or with Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 or later, or Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 or later on a PC. You can also sync photos in any folder on your computer that contains images.

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, 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. 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 youve set up syncing.

Calendars

You can sync calendars from applications such as iCal and Microsoft Entourage 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.)

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 dont affect the account on your computer.

Note: The password for your Yahoo! email account isnt saved on your computer, so it cant be synced and must be entered on iPod touch. In Settings, choose Mail, Contacts, Calendars, tap your Yahoo! account, and enter the password.

Web Browser

You can sync bookmarks from Safari on a Mac, or from Safari or Microsoft Internet Explorer on a PC.

Advanced

These options let you replace the information on iPod touch with the information on your computer during the next sync.

Applications Pane Use the Applications pane to specify which App Store applications you want installed on iPod touch. 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.

Preventing Automatic Syncing You may want to 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 always sync by clicking the Sync button.

Prevent automatic syncing for all iPod touchs: 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 wont 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. Then, as you connect iPod touch to your computer, 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 lower- right corner of the window. Or, if youve 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 Safari bookmarks. 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 of the popular email accounts, iPod touch automatically enters most of the settings for you.

10 Chapter 1 Getting Started

Chapter 1 Getting Started 11

If you dont have already have one, you can get a free email 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.

Add an account on iPod touch: 1 From iPod touchs 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 Microsofts Autodiscovery service, which uses your user name and password to determine the address of the Exchange server. If the servers address cant be determined, youre 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 youre setting up an Exchange or MobileMe account, tap the items you want to syncmail, contacts, calendars, and bookmarks (MobileMe only). For Exchange accounts, you can also set how many days of email you want to sync to iPod touch. Then tap Save.

Important: If you sync contacts or calendars using your Exchange or MobileMe account, syncing for contacts or calendars in iTunes is turned off. Any contact or calendar information on iPod touch is replaced by the contacts and calendars from your Exchange or MobileMe account.

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 dont 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 youre 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 companys 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.

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.

12 Chapter 1 Getting Started

Chapter 1 Getting Started 13

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.

106 Appendix A Troubleshooting

You must disable any items in MobileMe or Exchange that you want to sync through iTunes. In Settings, tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars, tap the MobileMe or Exchange account, and deselect any items you want to sync through iTunes. If you have both MobileMe and Exchange accounts, you must deselect those items in both accounts.

Note: When you deselect Contacts or Calendars in your MobileMe or Exchange account, the contact or calendar information is no longer accessible via iPod touch.

Replace iPod touch information: 1 Open iTunes.

2 As you connect iPod touch to your computer, press and hold Command-Option (if youre using a Mac) or Shift-Control (if youre using a PC) until you see iPod touch in the iTunes sidebar. This prevents iPod touch from syncing automatically.

3 Select iPod touch in the iTunes sidebar and click the Info tab.

4 Under Replace information on this iPod touch, select Contacts, Calendars, Mail Accounts, or Bookmarks. You can select more than one, if you like.

5 Click Apply.

Appendix A Troubleshooting 107

Sound, Music, and Video

No Sound Unplug and reconnect the headset. Make sure the connector is pushed in all the way.

Make sure the volume isnt turned down all the way.

Music on iPod touch might be paused. From the Home screen tap Music, tap Now Playing, then tap .

Check to see if a volume limit is set. From the Home screen choose Settings > iPod > Volume Limit. For more information, see Music on page 97.

Make sure you are using the latest version of iTunes (go to www.apple.com/itunes).

If you are using the optional docks line out port, make sure your external speakers or stereo are turned on and working properly.

Song, Video, or Other Items Wont Play The song may have been encoded in a format that iPod touch doesnt 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 is 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 doesnt support WMA, MPEG Layer 1, MPEG Layer 2 audio files, or audible. com format 1.

108 Appendix A Troubleshooting

If you have a song or video in your iTunes library that isnt 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, ringtones, 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.

110 Appendix A Troubleshooting

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 wont automatically back up an iPod touch that is not configured to sync with that computer. If you have 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 is not 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.

Restoring from a Backup You can restore the settings, downloaded applications, 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, select iPod touch in the sidebar and click the Summary tab.

3 Click Restore to reinstall the iPod touch software, restore its default settings, and delete data stored on iPod touch. In iTunes, you can also restore from a backup without deleting data stored on iPod touch.

Note: Deleted data is no longer accessible via the iPod touch user interface, but is not permanently erased from your iPod touch until it is overwritten by new data. For information about permanently erasing all content and settings, see Resetting iPod touch on page 96.

When prompted, select the option to restore your settings, downloaded applications, and other information from a backup and select the backup you want to use. Multiple backups are listed by device in chronological order with the most recent backup for a device listed first.

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 elses computer.

Appendix A Troubleshooting 111

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 and 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.

For more information about backups, including the settings and information stored in a backup, see support.apple.com/kb/HT1766.

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 but your downloaded applications,

settings, and songs are not affected.

If you restore, the latest version of iPod touch software is reinstalled, default settings are restored, and data stored on iPod touch is deleted, including downloaded applications, songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data. In iTunes, you can also restore from a backup without deleting data stored on iPod touch.

Note: Deleted data is no longer accessible via the iPod touch user interface, but is not permanently erased from your iPod touch until it is overwritten by new data. For information about permanently erasing all content and settings, see Resetting iPod touch on page 96.

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 theres 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, see support. apple.com/kb/HT1414.
