Transferring Purchased Content to Another Computer

You can transfer content on iPod touch that was purchased using iTunes on one computer to an iTunes library on another authorized computer. The computer must be authorized to play content from your iTunes Store account. To authorize the computer, open iTunes on the computer and choose Store > Authorize Computer.

Transfer purchased content: Connect iPod touch to the other computer. iTunes asks if you want to transfer purchased content.

Converting Videos for iPod touch

You can add videos other than those purchased from the iTunes Store to iPod touch, such as videos you create in iMovie on a Mac, or videos you download from the Internet and then add to iTunes.

If you try to add a video from iTunes to iPod touch and a message says the video can’t play on iPod touch, you can convert the video.

Convert a video to work with iPod touch: Select the video in your iTunes library and choose Advanced > “Create iPod or iPhone Version.” Then add the converted video to iPod touch.

Music and Other Audio

The high-resolution Multi-Touch display makes listening to songs on iPod touch as much a visual experience as a musical one. You can scroll through your playlists, or use Cover Flow to browse through your album art.

You can listen to audio from the internal speaker (not available on first-generation iPod touch), headphones attached to the headphones port, or Bluetooth stereo headphones paired wirelessly. When headphones are attached or paired, no sound comes out of the speaker.
