in world clocks and calendars.

Set whether iPod touch shows 24-hour time or 12-hour time: Choose General > Date
& Time and turn 24-Hour Time on or off.

Set the date and time: Choose General > Date & Time. Tap Time Zone and enter the
name of a major city in your time zone. Tap the “Date & Time” return button, then tap

Keyboard

Turn Auto-Capitalization on or off: Choose General > Keyboard and turn Auto-
Capitalization on or off.

By default, iPod touch automatically capitalizes words after you type sentence-ending
punctuation or a return character.

Set whether caps lock is enabled: Choose General > Keyboard and turn Enable Caps
Lock on or off.

If caps lock is enabled and you double-tap the Shift key on the keyboard, all letters
you type are uppercase. The Shift key turns blue when caps lock is on.

Turn the “.” shortcut on or off: Choose General > Keyboard and turn “.” Shortcut on or
off.

The “.” shortcut lets you double-tap the space bar to enter a period followed by a space
when you’re typing. It is on by default.

Turn international keyboards on or off: Choose General > Keyboards > International
Keyboards and turn on the keyboards you want.

If more than one keyboard is turned on, tap to switch keyboards when you’re
typing. When you tap the symbol, the name of the newly active keyboard appears
briefly.

See “International Keyboards” on page 23.
