Searching Video

You can search the titles of movies, TV shows, and video podcasts you’ve synced to
iPod touch.

Search video: Enter text in the search field at the top of the list of videos.
Search results appear automatically as you type. Tap Search to dismiss the keyboard
and see more of the results.

Watching Rented Movies

You can rent movies in standard (480p) definition from the iTunes Store and watch
them on iPod touch. You can download rented movies directly to iPod touch, or
transfer them from iTunes on your computer to iPod touch. You can also transfer
rented movies back to iTunes from iPod touch. (Rented movies aren’t available in
all regions.)

The movie must be fully downloaded before you can start watching. You can pause
a download and resume it later. Rented movies expire after a certain number of
days, and once you start a movie you have a limited amount of time to finish
watching it. The time remaining appears near a movie’s title. Movies are automatically
deleted when they expire. Check the iTunes Store for the expiration time before
renting a movie.

Transfer rented movies to iPod touch: Connect iPod touch to your computer. Then
select iPod touch in the iTunes sidebar, click Movies, and select the rented movies you
want to transfer. Your computer must be connected to the Internet.
View a rented movie: Choose Videos and select a movie.

Watching Videos on a TV

You can connect iPod touch to your TV and watch your videos on the larger screen.
Use the Apple Component AV Cable, Apple Composite AV Cable, or other authorized
iPod touch compatible cable. You can also use these cables with the Apple Universal
Dock to connect iPod touch to your TV. (The Apple Universal Dock includes a remote,
which allows you to control playback from a distance.) Apple cables and docks are
available for purchase separately in many countries. Go to www.apple.com/ipodstore.

Deleting Videos from iPod touch

You can delete videos from iPod touch to save space.

Delete a video: In the videos list, swipe left or right over the video, then tap Delete.
