Setting Up MobileMe Accounts

To use MobileMe on iPod touch, you need to add an account with your MobileMe account settings. When setting up the account, you can choose which MobileMe services you want to use with iPod touch:

ÂÂ Mail

ÂÂ Contacts

ÂÂ Calendars

ÂÂ Bookmarks

ÂÂ Notes (iPod touch 3rd generation or later) ÂÂ Find My iPod touch

Services you turn on are synced automatically over the air without having to connect iPod touch to your computer. See “Syncing Accounts” on page 45.

The Find My iPod touch service (not available in all countries or regions) helps you locate iPod touch if it’s been lost or stolen, and remotely lock, set a passcode, or erase the information on iPod touch if necessary. See “Security Features” on page 42.

You can set up multiple MobileMe accounts; however, only one MobileMe account at a time can be used for Find My iPod touch and for syncing contacts, calendars, and bookmarks.

Set up a MobileMe account:

1In Settings, tap “Mail, Contacts, Calendars.”

2Tap Add Account, then tap MobileMe.

3Enter your name, complete email address, password, and a description. The description can be whatever you like.

4Tap the items you want to use on iPod touch—mail, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, notes, and Find My iPod touch.
