Preventing Automatic Syncing You can 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 still sync by clicking the Sync button. Prevent automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods: 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, connect iPod touch to your computer, then 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 bottom-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 bookmarks on iPod touch with Safari on a Mac, or with Safari or Microsoft Internet Explorer on a PC. 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 • Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 For many popular email accounts, iPod touch automatically enters most of the settings for you. If you don't already have an email account, you can get a free account online at www.yahoo.com, www.google.com, or www.aol.com. You can also try MobileMe, free for 60 days. Go to www.me.com.
