Adding Mail, Contacts, and Calendar Accounts
About Accounts
iPod touch works with MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, and many of the most popular
Internet-based email, contacts, and calendar service providers. 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, at
www.me.com.
You can add contacts using an LDAP or CardDAV account if your company or
organization supports it. See “Adding Contacts” on page 175.
You can add a CalDAV calendar account. See “Syncing Calendars” on page 105.
You can subscribe to iCal (.ics) calendars or import them from Mail. See “Subscribing to
Calendars” and “Importing Calendar Files from Mail” on page 110.
Setting Up MobileMe Accounts
To use MobileMe on iPod touch, you need to set up a MobileMe Free Account or a
MobileMe Paid Subscription.
A MobileMe Free Account lets you use Find My iPod touch (not available in all
countries or regions), a feature that helps you locate and protect the information on
your iPod touch if it’s lost or stolen. See “Security Features” on page 41.
A MobileMe Paid Subscription lets you use Find My iPod touch, plus the following
features:
Mail account at me.com Â
Over-the-air syncing for contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes Â
MobileMe Gallery for sharing photos and videos Â
MobileMe iDisk for storing and sharing files Â
You can try out these features with a 60-day free trial at www.apple.com/mobileme.
A MobileMe Free Account is available to any customer who has an iPod touch 4th
generation with iOS 4.2 or later. If you’ve already created an account for the App Store
or Game Center, you can use that Apple ID for your MobileMe Free Account. You can
create a new Apple ID if you don’t already have one, or if you want a different Apple ID
for your MobileMe account.
Set up a MobileMe Free Account:
1 In Settings, tap “Mail, Contacts, Calendars.”
2 Tap Add Account, then tap MobileMe.
3 Enter your Apple ID and password, or tap Create Free Apple ID.
