Select “Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC” if you want iTunes to convert
larger audio files to the standard iTunes audio format during syncing.
Select “Manually manage music and videos” to turn off automatic syncing in the Music
and Video settings panes. See “Manually Managing Content” on page 50.
Select “Encrypt iPod backup” if you want to encrypt the information stored on your
computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a
lock icon, and a password is required to restore the information to iPod touch.
See “Backing Up iPod touch” on page 214.
To turn on Accessibility features (iPod touch 3rd generation or later), click Configure
Universal Access. See Chapter 27, “Accessibility,” on page 190.
Apps Pane
Use the Apps Pane to sync App Store apps, arrange apps on the iPod touch Home
screen, or copy documents between iPod touch and your computer.
Select “Automatically sync new apps” to sync new apps to iPod touch that you
downloaded or synced from another device. If you delete an app on iPod touch, you
can reinstall it from the Apps pane as long as it was previously synced.
You can create documents on iPod touch with apps that support file sharing, and then
copy those documents to your computer. You can also copy documents from your
computer to iPod touch, and use them with apps that support file sharing. See “File
Sharing” on page 51.
Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, iTunes U, and Books Panes
Use these panes to specify the media you want to sync. You can sync all music, movies,
TV shows, podcasts, iTunes U collections, books and audiobooks, or select the content
you want.
If you create a playlist folder (collection of playlists) in iTunes, the folder and its playlists
will be synced to iPod touch. You can’t create playlist folders directly on iPod touch.
If you listen to part of a podcast or audiobook, your place in the story is included if you
sync the content with iTunes. If you started listening to the story on iPod touch, you
can pick up where you left off using iTunes on your computer—or vice versa.
If you want to watch a rented movie from your computer on iPod touch, sync it to
iPod touch using the Movies pane in iTunes.
Only songs and videos encoded in formats that iPod touch supports are synced
to iPod touch. For information about which formats iPod touch supports, go to
www.apple.com/ipodtouch/specs.html.
Important: If you delete an item from iTunes, it will also be deleted from iPod touch
the next time you sync.
