Applications Pane
Use the Applications pane to specify which App Store applications you want installed
on iPod touch. Any applications downloaded directly to iPod touch are automatically
backed up to your iTunes library when you sync. If you manually delete an application
on iPod touch, you can reinstall it from this pane as long as it was previously synced.

Preventing Automatic Syncing

You may want to prevent iPod touch from syncing automatically when you connect
iPod touch to a computer other than the one you usually sync with.

Turn off automatic syncing for iPod touch: Connect iPod touch to your computer. In
iTunes, select iPod touch in the sidebar, then click the Summary tab. Deselect “Open
iTunes when this iPod is connected.” You can always sync by clicking the Sync button.

Prevent automatic syncing for all iPod touchs: In iTunes choose iTunes > Preferences
(on a Mac) or Edit > Preferences (on a PC), click Devices, and select “Disable automatic
syncing for all iPhones and iPods.”

If this checkbox is selected, iPod touch won’t sync automatically, even if “Open iTunes
when this iPod is connected” is selected in the Summary pane.

Prevent automatic syncing one time, without changing settings: Open iTunes. Then,
as you connect iPod touch to your computer, press and hold Command-Option (on a
Mac) or Shift-Control (on a PC) until you see iPod touch appear in the sidebar.

Sync manually: In iTunes, select iPod touch in the sidebar, then click Sync in the lower-
right corner of the window. Or, if you’ve changed any sync settings, click Apply.

Mail, Contacts, and Calendar Accounts

iPod touch works with MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, and many of the most popular
email systems.

Setting Up Accounts

MobileMe and Microsoft Exchange provide not only email, but contact and calendar
information that can be synced to iPod touch automatically, over the air. MobileMe
can also sync your Safari bookmarks. You set up MobileMe, Exchange, and other email
accounts directly on iPod touch.

iPod touch uses the Exchange ActiveSync protocol to sync email, calendars, and
contacts with the following versions of Microsoft Exchange:

Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2

Â

Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1

Â

For many of the popular email accounts, iPod touch automatically enters most of the
settings for you.
