Downloading Applications

When you find an application you want in the App Store, you can purchase and download it to iPod touch. If the application is free, you can download it without charge after providing your iTunes account information.

Once you download an application, it’s immediately installed on iPod touch.

Purchase and download an application:

1Tap the price (or tap Free), then tap Buy Now.

2Sign in to your account as requested, then tap OK.

If you don’t have an iTunes Store account, tap Create New Account to set one up.

Downloads for purchase are charged to your iTunes Store account. For additional downloads made within the next fifteen minutes, you don’t have to enter your password again.

Some applications allow you to make purchases within the application. You can restrict in-app purchases in Settings. See “Restrictions” on page 119.

Some applications use push notifications to alert you of new information, even when the application isn’t running. Notifications differ depending upon the application, but may include text or sound alerts, and a numbered badge on the application’s icon on the Home screen. See “Notifications” on page 116.

You can redeem iTunes Store gift cards, gift certificates, or other promotional codes to make purchases. When you’re signed in to your account, your remaining store credit appears with your account information at the bottom of most App Store screens.

Enter a redemption code: Tap Redeem near the bottom of the Featured screen, then follow the onscreen instructions.

See the status of downloading applications: After you begin downloading an application, its icon appears on the Home screen and shows a progress indicator.

If a download is interrupted, iPod touch starts the download again the next time it has an Internet connection. Or, if you open iTunes on your computer, iTunes completes the download to your iTunes library (if your computer is connected to the Internet and signed in to the same iTunes account).
