Apple iPod touch iOS 4.3 - Manual (Page 18)

What You Need
To use iPod touch, you need:
A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 port and one of the following operating systems: Â
Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later Â
Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional (SP3) Â
iTunes 10.1.2 or later, available at  www.itunes.com/download
An Apple ID (such as an iTunes Store account or MobileMe account) for purchases Â
from the iTunes Store or App Store
An Internet connection for your computer (broadband is recommended)
Â
Setting Up iPod touch
Before you can use iPod touch, you must set it up in iTunes. During setup, you can
create a new Apple ID or specify an existing Apple ID for making purchases with
iPod touch. (The iTunes Store may not be available in all countries or regions.) iTunes
also records the serial number of your iPod touch in case you need it.
Set up iPod touch:
1 Download and install the latest version of iTunes from www.itunes.com/download.
2 Connect iPod touch to a USB 2.0 port on your Mac or PC using the cable that came
with iPod touch.
3 Follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to register iPod touch and sync iPod touch
with songs, videos, and apps from your iTunes library, and with your photos on your
computer. For information about customizing your sync contacts, see “Syncing with
iTunes” on page 45.
Note: If you have a visual impairment, VoiceOver can help you set up iPod touch without
a sighted assistant. VoiceOver describes aloud what appears on the screen, so you can
use iPod touch without seeing it. When you connect iPod touch to your computer, iTunes
detects whether you’re using a compatible screen reader on your computer, such as
VoiceOver (Mac) or GW Micro Window-Eyes (PC), and automatically enables VoiceOver on
iPod touch. A sighted user can also enable VoiceOver on iPod touch using Accessibility
settings. (VoiceOver may not be available in all languages.) See “VoiceOver” on page 191.
