Syncing with iTunes

You can set iTunes to sync any or all of the following: ÂÂ Music

ÂÂ Movies

ÂÂ TV Shows

ÂÂ Games and apps downloaded from the App Store ÂÂ Music videos

ÂÂ Podcasts

ÂÂ Books and audiobooks ÂÂ iTunes U collections

ÂÂ Photos and videos (in your computer’s photo application or folder)

ÂÂ Contacts—names, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, and more ÂÂ Calendars—appointments and events

ÂÂ Notes

ÂÂ Email account settings ÂÂ Webpage bookmarks

You can adjust sync settings whenever iPod touch is connected to your computer.

Music, audiobooks, podcasts, books, iTunes U collections, videos, and apps are synced from your iTunes library. If you don’t already have content in iTunes, the iTunes Store (not available in all countries or regions) makes it easy to preview content and download it to iTunes. You can also add music to your iTunes library from your CDs. To learn about iTunes and the iTunes Store, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.

Contacts, calendars, notes, and webpage bookmarks are synced with applications on your computer, as described in the following section. Contacts and calendars are synced both ways between your computer and iPod touch. New entries or changes you make on iPod touch are synced to your computer, and vice versa. Notes and webpage bookmarks are also synced both ways. Photos and videos can be synced from an application or from a folder.

Email account settings are synced only from your computer’s email application to iPod touch. This allows you to customize your email accounts on iPod touch without affecting email account settings on your computer.

Note: You can also set up email accounts directly on iPod touch. See “Adding Mail, Contacts, and Calendar Accounts.”

Purchases you make on iPod touch in the iTunes Store or the App Store 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.
