What You Need To use iPod touch, you need:  A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 port and one of the following operating systems:  Mac OS X version 10.4.10 or later  Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later  Windows Vista Home Premium, Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate edition  iTunes 7.6 or later, available at www.apple.com/itunes  iTunes Store account (to purchase music over Wi-Fi)  An Internet connection Setting Up iPod touch Before you can use any of the iPod touch features, you must use iTunes to set up iPod touch. You can also register iPod touch and create an iTunes Store account (available in some countries) if you don't already have one. Set up iPod touch 1 Download and install the latest version of iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes. 2 Connect iPod touch to a USB 2.0 port on your Mac or PC using the included cable. 4 The USB port on most keyboards doesn't provide enough power. Unless your keyboard has a high-powered USB 2.0 port, you must connect iPod touch to a USB 2.0 port on your computer. 3 Follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to set up iPod touch and sync your music, video, photos, and other content. Your computer must be connected to the Internet. By default, iTunes automatically syncs all songs and videos in your iTunes library to iPod touch. If you have more content in your library than will fit on iPod touch, iTunes alerts you that it can't sync your content. You'll need to use iTunes to select some of your songs, videos, and other content to sync. The following section tells you how. Getting Music, Videos, and Other Content onto iPod touch iPod touch lets you enjoy music, videos, photos, and much more, with its great sound and stunning 3.5-inch widescreen display. You get media and other content onto iPod touch by connecting iPod touch to your computer and using iTunes to sync your iTunes library and other information on your computer. You can set iTunes to sync any or all of the following:  Music and audiobooks  Movies  TV Shows Chapter 1 Getting Started 5       Podcasts Photos Contacts--names, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, and so on Calendars--appointments and events Email account settings Webpage bookmarks Music, movies, TV shows, and podcasts are synced from your iTunes library. If you don't already have content in iTunes, the iTunes Store (part of iTunes and available in some countries) makes it easy to purchase or subscribe to content and download it to iTunes. You can also get music into iTunes from your CDs. To learn about iTunes and the iTunes Store, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help. Photos, contacts, calendars, and webpage bookmarks are synced from applications on your computer, as described below. Email account settings are only synced from your computer's email application to iPod touch. This allows you to customize your email accounts on iPod touch without affecting email account settings on your computer. You can set iPod touch to sync with only a portion of what's on your computer. For example, you might want to sync certain playlists, the most recent unwatched movie, the most recent episodes of your favorite TV shows, and all unplayed podcasts. The sync settings make it easy to get just what you want onto iPod touch. You can adjust sync settings whenever iPod touch is connected to your computer. Important: You cannot connect and sync more than one iPod at a time. Disconnect one before connecting another. You should be logged in to your own user account on the computer before connecting iPod touch. On a PC, if you sync more than one iPod to the same user account, use the same sync settings for each. Syncing iPod touch You use the iPod touch settings panes in iTunes to specify the iTunes content and other information you want to sync to iPod touch. Sync iPod touch 1 Connect iPod touch to your computer, and open iTunes (if it doesn't open automatically). 6 Chapter 1 Getting Started The USB port on most keyboards doesn't provide enough power. You must connect iPod touch to a USB 2.0 port on your computer, unless your keyboard has a highpowered USB 2.0 port. 2 Select iPod touch in the iTunes source list (below Devices, on the left). 3 Configure the sync settings in each of the settings panes. 4 Click Apply in the lower-right corner of the screen. 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 page 9. Select "Sync only checked songs and videos" if you want to sync only items that are checked in your iTunes library. Select "Manually manage music and videos" to turn off syncing in the Music, Movies, and TV Shows settings panes. Music, Movies, TV Shows, and Podcasts Panes Use these panes to specify the iTunes library content that you want to sync. You can sync all music, movies, TV shows, and podcasts, or select the specific playlists and items you want on iPod touch. Audiobooks and music videos are synced along with music. Chapter 1 Getting Started 7 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 content you've specified, iTunes asks if you want to create a special playlist and set it to sync with iPod touch. Then iTunes randomly fills the playlist. Photos Pane You can sync photos from iPhoto 4.0.3 or later on a Mac, or from Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 or later or Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 or later on a PC. You can also sync photos from any folder on your computer that contains images. Info Pane The Info pane lets you configure the sync settings for your contacts, calendars, and web browser bookmarks. Contacts You can sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Microsoft Entourage, and Yahoo! Address Book on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), or Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync contacts on your computer with more than one application. On a PC, you can sync contacts with only one application.) 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 you've set up syncing. Note: Syncing won't delete any contact in Yahoo! Address Book that contains a Messenger ID, even if you've deleted the contact from your address book on your computer. To delete a contact with a Messenger ID, log in to your Yahoo! account and delete the contact using Yahoo! Address Book online. Calendars You can sync calendars from applications such as iCal and Microsoft Entourage on a Mac, or Microsoft Outlook on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync calendars on your computer with more than one application on your computer. On a PC, you can sync calendars with only one application.) 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 don't affect the account on your computer. 8 Chapter 1 Getting Started The password for your Yahoo! email account isn't saved on your computer. If you sync a Yahoo! email account, you must enter the password on iPod touch. From the Home screen choose Settings > Mail, choose your Yahoo! account, then enter your password in the password field. Web Browser You can sync bookmarks from Safari on a Mac, or 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.

Sync manually m Select iPod touch in the iTunes source list, then click Sync in the lower-right corner of the window. Or, if you've changed any sync settings, click Apply. 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, it shows "Sync in progress." If you disconnect iPod touch before it finishes syncing, some data may not be transferred. When iPod touch finishes syncing, iTunes shows "iPod sync is complete." To cancel a sync so you can disconnect iPod touch, drag the "slide to cancel" slider.

Syncing Content from Your iTunes Library If you've turned on syncing, iTunes automatically syncs content from your iTunes library to iPod touch each time you connect it to your computer. iTunes lets you sync all of your media, or specific songs, movies, videos, and podcasts. For example, you could set iTunes to sync selected music playlists, the most recent unwatched movie, and the three most recent episodes of your favorite TV show. If there are more songs in your iTunes library than can fit on iPod touch, iTunes asks if you want to create a special playlist and set it to sync with iPod touch. Then iTunes randomly fills the playlist. You can add or delete songs from the playlist and sync again. If you set iTunes to sync more songs, videos, and other content than can fit on iPod touch, you can have iTunes automatically delete random content from iPod touch to make room, or you can stop the sync and reconfigure your sync settings.
