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 music, video, downloaded applications, and other iTunes library content.
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.
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.
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.
