Syncing Purchased Content

iTunes automatically syncs songs, albums, podcasts, and applications you’ve
downloaded or purchased on iPod touch to your iTunes library when you connect
iPod touch to your computer. This lets you listen to the downloads on your computer
and provides a backup if you delete applications or purchased content from
iPod touch.

Songs are synced to the “Purchased on <name of your iPod touch>” playlist. iTunes
creates the playlist if it doesn’t exist. iTunes also copies your purchases to the
Purchased playlist that iTunes uses for purchases you make on your computer, if that
playlist exists and is set to sync with iPod touch.

Downloaded podcasts are synced to the Podcast list in your iTunes library.

Downloaded applications are backed up the next time you sync with iTunes.
Afterwards, only application data is backed up when you sync with iTunes.

Applications are synced to the Applications list in your iTunes library. iTunes creates
the list if it doesn’t exist.

Verifying Purchases

You can use iTunes to verify that all the music, videos, applications, and other items
you bought from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store or App Store are in your iTunes library.
You might want to do this if a download was interrupted.

Verify your purchases:

1

Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet.

2

In iTunes, choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.

3

Enter your iTunes Store account ID and password, then click Check.

Purchases not yet on your computer are downloaded.

The Purchased playlist displays all your purchases. However, because you can add or
remove items in this list, it might not be accurate. To see all your purchases, make sure
you’re signed in to your account, choose Store > View My Account, and click Purchase
History.

Updating Your Account

iPod touch gets your iTunes Store account information from iTunes. You can view and
change your iTunes Store account information using iTunes on your computer.
View and change your iTunes Store account information: In iTunes, choose Store >
