File sharing
You can use iTunes to transfer files between iPod touch and your computer. You can also view
files received as email attachments on iPod touch. See
on page 64. If you have the
same apps that work with iCloud on more than one device, you can use iCloud to automatically
keep your documents up to date across all your devices. See
on page 14.
Transfer files using iTunes: Connect iPod touch to your computer using the included cable.
In iTunes on your computer, select iPod touch, then click the Apps button. Use the File Sharing
section to transfer documents between iPod touch and your computer. Apps that support file
sharing appear in the File Sharing Apps list in iTunes. To delete a file, select the file in the Files list,
then press the Delete key.
Security features
Security features help protect the information on iPod touch from being accessed by others.
Passcodes and data protection
For security, you can set a passcode that you must enter each time you turn on or wake up
iPod touch, or when you access the passcode lock settings.
Setting a passcode turns on data protection. Data protection uses your passcode as the key for
encrypting mail messages and their attachments stored on iPod touch. (Some apps available
from the App Store may also use data protection.) A notice at the bottom of the Passcode Lock
screen in Settings shows whether data protection is enabled.
Set a passcode: Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock, then tap Turn Passcode On and enter
a 4-digit passcode.
Use a more secure passcode: To increase security, turn off Simple Passcode and use a longer
passcode with a combination of numbers, letters, punctuation, and special characters.
To unlock iPod touch when it’s protected by a combination passcode, you enter the passcode
using the keyboard. If you prefer to unlock iPod touch using the numeric keypad, you can set up
a longer passcode using numbers only.
