Syncing with iTunes

Syncing with iTunes copies information from your computer to iPod touch, and vice versa. You can sync by connecting iPod touch to your computer, or you can set up iTunes to sync wirelessly with Wi-Fi. You can set iTunes to sync photos, videos, podcasts, apps, and more. For information about syncing iPod touch, open iTunes on your computer, then select iTunes Help from the Help menu.

Set up wireless iTunes syncing: In iTunes on the computer, select your iPod touch, click Summary, then turn on “Sync with this iPod over Wi-Fi.”

When Wi-Fi syncing is turned on, iPod touch syncs when it’s connected to a power source, both iPod touch and your computer are connected to the same wireless network, and iTunes is open on the computer. For more information, see iTunes Wi-Fi Sync on page 122.

Tips for syncing with iTunes

If you use iCloud to store your contacts, calendars, and bookmarks, don’t also sync them to iPod touch using iTunes.

Purchases you make from the iTunes Store or the App Store on iPod touch are synced back to your iTunes library. You can also purchase or download content and apps from the iTunes Store on your computer, and then sync them to iPod touch.

In the device’s Summary pane, you can set iTunes to automatically sync iPod touch when it’s attached to your computer. To temporarily override this setting, hold down Command and Option (Mac) or Shift and Control (PC) until you see iPod touch appear in the iTunes window.

In the device’s Summary pane, select “Encrypt iPod backup” if you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a lock icon , and a password is required to restore the backup. If you don’t select this option, other passwords (such as those for mail accounts) aren’t included in the backup and will have to be reentered if you use the backup to restore iPod touch.
