Updating Applications

Whenever you access the App Store, it checks for updates to applications you’ve installed. The App Store also automatically checks for updates every week. The App Store icon shows the total number of application updates available.

If an update is available and you access the App Store, the Updates screen appears immediately. Application updates are downloaded and automatically installed when you choose to update them. Application upgrades are new releases that can be purchased or downloaded through the App Store on iPod touch or the iTunes Store on your computer.

Update an application:

1At the bottom of the screen, tap Updates.

2Tap an application to see more information about the update.

3Tap Update.

Update all applications: At the bottom of the screen, tap Updates, then tap Update All.

If you try to update an application purchased from a different iTunes Store account, you’re prompted for that account’s ID and password in order to download the update.

Syncing Purchased Applications

iTunes automatically syncs applications you’ve downloaded or purchased on iPod touch to your iTunes library when you connect iPod touch to your computer. This lets you access the downloads on your computer and provides a backup if you delete applications from iPod touch.

Downloaded applications are backed up the next time you sync with iTunes. Afterwards, only application data is backed up when you sync with iTunes.

Applications are synced to the Applications list in your iTunes library. iTunes creates the list if it doesn’t exist.
