Converting Videos for iPod touch

You can add videos other than those purchased from the iTunes Store to iPod touch, such as videos you create in iMovie on a Mac, or videos you download from the Internet and then add to iTunes.

If you try to add a video from iTunes to iPod touch and a message says the video can’t play on iPod touch, you can convert the video.

Convert a video to work with iPod touch: Select the video in your iTunes library and choose Advanced > “Create iPod or iPhone Version.” Then add the converted video to iPod touch.

Deleting Videos from iPod touch

You can delete videos from iPod touch to save space.

Delete a video: In the videos list, swipe left or right over the video, then tap Delete.

Deleting a video from iPod touch (other than a rented movie or TV show) doesn’t delete the video from your iTunes library. It may reappear on iPod touch if the video in iTunes is still set to sync.

Important: If you delete a rented movie or TV show from iPod touch, it’s deleted permanently and cannot be transferred back to your computer.

Setting a Sleep Timer

You can set iPod touch to stop playing music or videos after a period of time.

Set a sleep timer: From the Home screen choose Clock > Timer, then flick to set the number of hours and minutes. Tap When Timer Ends and choose Sleep iPod, tap Set, then tap Start to start the timer.

When the timer ends, iPod touch stops playing music or video, closes any other open app, and then locks itself.
