You can adjust sync settings whenever iPod touch is connected to your computer.
Music, audiobooks, podcasts, video content, and applications are synced from your 
iTunes library. If you don’t already have content in iTunes, the iTunes Store (available 
in some countries) makes it easy to preview and download content to iTunes. You can 
also add music to your iTunes library from your CDs. To learn about iTunes and the 
iTunes Store, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.
Contacts, calendars, notes, and webpage bookmarks are synced with applications 
on your computer, as described in the following section. Contacts and calendars are 
synced both ways between your computer and iPod touch. New entries or changes 
you make on iPod touch are synced to your computer, and vice versa. Notes and 
webpage bookmarks are also synced both ways. Photos can be synced from an 
application or from a folder.
Email account settings are synced only from your computer’s email application to 
iPod touch. This allows you to customize your email accounts on iPod touch without 
affecting email account settings on your computer.
Note:  You can also set up email accounts directly on iPod touch. See “Mail, Contacts, 
and Calendar Accounts
” on page 12.
Purchases you make on iPod touch in the iTunes Store or the App Store are synced 
back to your iTunes library. You can also purchase or download content and 
applications directly from the iTunes Store on your computer, and then sync them  
to iPod touch.
You can set iPod touch to sync with only a portion of what’s on your computer.  
For example, you might want to sync only certain music playlists, or only unwatched 
video podcasts. 
Important:  
You should be logged in to your own computer user account before 
connecting iPod touch.
Set up iTunes syncing:
 
1
  Connect iPod touch to your computer, and open iTunes (if it doesn’t open automatically).
 
2
  In iTunes, select iPod touch in the sidebar.
