VPN settings
A VPN (virtual private network) provides secure access over the Internet to private networks, such as the network at your organization. You may need to install a VPN app from the App Store that configures your iPod touch to access a network. Contact your system administrator for information about the app and settings you need.
Profiles settings
Configuration profiles define settings for using iPod touch with corporate or school networks or accounts. You might be asked to install a configuration profile that was sent to you in an email, or one that is downloaded from a web page. iPod touch asks for your permission to install the profile, and displays information about what it contains, when you open the file. You can see the profiles you have installed in Settings > General > Profiles. If you delete a profile, all of the settings, apps, and data associated with the profile are also deleted.
Back up iPod touch
You can use iCloud or iTunes to automatically back up iPod touch (in iTunes, use File > Device > Back Up). If you choose to back up using iCloud, you can’t also use iTunes to automatically back up to your computer, but you can use iTunes to manually back up to your computer. iCloud backs up iPod touch daily over
iCloud backs up your:
•• Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
•• Photos and videos in your Camera Roll
•• iPod touch settings
•• App data
•• Home screen, folders, and app layout
•• Messages
•• Ringtones
Note: Purchased content is not backed up in all areas.
Turn on iCloud backups. Go to Settings > iCloud, then log in with your Apple ID and password, if required. Go to Storage & Backup, then turn on iCloud Backup. To turn on backups in iTunes, go to File > Device > Back Up.
Back up immediately. Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, then tap Back Up Now.
Encrypt your backup. iCloud backups are encrypted automatically so that your data is protected from unauthorized access both while it’s transmitted to your devices and when it’s stored
in iCloud. If you’re using iTunes for your backup, select “Encrypt iPod backup” in the iTunes Summary pane.
Manage your backups. Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage. Tap the name of your iPod touch. You can manage which apps are backed up to iCloud, and remove existing backups. In iTunes, remove backups in iTunes Preferences.
View the devices being backed up. Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage.
Stop iCloud backups. Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, then turn off iCloud Backup.
