About Syncing
Syncing copies information from your computer or online account to iPod touch, then
keeps the information “in sync” by copying changes made in one location to the other.
You use iTunes on your computer to sync:
contacts, calendars, browser bookmarks, and notes
Â
iOS apps
Â
music, movies, and other iTunes content
Â
photos and videos
Â
By default, syncing occurs whenever you connect iPod touch to your computer.
You can also configure iPod touch to access accounts with online service providers
such as MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, Google, Yahoo!, and others. Your information
on those services is synced over the air.
Syncing Accounts
MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, Google, Yahoo!, and other online service providers sync
information—which might include contacts, calendars, browser bookmarks, and notes
(iPod touch 3rd generation or later)—via your Wi-Fi Internet connection (over the air),
so that you don’t have to connect iPod touch to your computer. Syncing notes over
the air is available on iPod touch 3rd generation or later.
Some service providers—including MobileMe and Microsoft Exchange—
push
information updates. This means that syncing happens whenever any information is
changed. The Push setting in Fetch New Data must be turned on (it’s on by default).
Other providers sync by periodically “fetching” changes that have occurred. Use the
Fetch setting to determine how frequently this happens. See “Fetch New Data” on
page 169.
For information about setting up accounts on iPod touch, see “Adding Mail, Contacts,
and Calendar Accounts” on page 19.
