You can add contacts using an LDAP or CardDAV account if your company or organization
supports it. See
on page 98.
You can add calendars using a CalDAV calendar account, and you can subscribe to iCalendar (.ics)
calendars or import them from Mail. See
on page 61.
Apple ID
An Apple ID is the login you use for just about everything you do with Apple, including using
iCloud to store your content, downloading apps from the App Store, and buying songs, movies,
and TV shows from the iTunes Store.
You only need one Apple ID for everything you do with Apple. If you have an Apple ID, use it
when you first set up iPod touch, and whenever you need to sign in to use an Apple service. If
you don’t already have an Apple ID, you can create one whenever you’re asked to sign in.
Create an Apple ID. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap Sign In. (If you’re already signed
in and want to create another Apple ID, first tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.)

Manage content on your iOS devices
You can transfer information and files between your iOS devices and computers, using iCloud
or iTunes.
•
iCloud stores your photos, apps, contacts, calendars, and more, and wirelessly pushes them to
your devices, keeping everything up to date. See
below.
•
iTunes syncs music, video, photos, and more between your computer and iPod touch. Changes
you make on one device are copied to the other when you sync. You can also use iTunes to
sync files and documents. See
on page 17.
You can use iCloud or iTunes, or both, depending on your needs. For example, you can use
iCloud to automatically send the photos you take on iPod touch to your other devices, and use
iTunes to sync photo albums from your computer to iPod touch.
Important:
To avoid duplicates, keep contacts, calendars, and notes in sync using iCloud or
iTunes, but not both.
You can also manually manage content from iTunes, in the device’s Summary pane. This lets you
add songs and videos, by choosing a song, video, or playlist from your iTunes library and then
dragging it to your iPod touch in iTunes. This is useful if your iTunes library contains more items
than can fit on your device.
Note: If you’re using iTunes Match, you can manually manage only video.
iCloud
If you use the free iCloud account, iCloud stores your content, including music, photos, contacts,
calendars, and supported documents. Content stored in iCloud is wirelessly pushed to your other
iOS devices and computers set up with the same iCloud account.
iCloud is available on an iOS device with iOS 5 or later, on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.2 or later,
and on a PC with the iCloud Control Panel for Windows (Windows 7 or Windows 8 is required).
