If you’re setting up a MobileMe or Microsoft Exchange account, tap the items you want
to use on iPod touch—mail, contacts, calendars, and bookmarks (MobileMe only).
MobileMe includes the Find My iPod touch feature that helps you locate iPod touch if
it’s been lost or stolen, and remotely lock, set a passcode, or erase the information on
iPod touch if necessary. See “Security Features” on page 37.
If you enable Find My iPod touch for your MobileMe account, make sure that Push is
turned on for Fetch New Data. In Settings, choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” > Fetch
New Data, and if Push is off, tap to turn it on.
For Exchange accounts, you can set how many days of email you want to sync to
iPod touch.
If you already have contact or calendar information on iPod touch when you enable
the account, iPod touch asks what you want to do with existing information on
iPod touch. You can choose to merge the existing data into your MobileMe or
Exchange account. If you don’t merge the data, you can choose to keep it in a separate
account on iPod touch (the account is labeled “On My iPod touch”), or delete it.
Existing bookmarks can only be merged or deleted.
