Auto-Lock

Locking iPod touch turns off the display to save your battery and to prevent
unintended operation of iPod touch.

Set the amount of time before iPod touch locks: Choose General > Auto-Lock and
choose a time.

Passcode Lock

By default, iPod touch doesn’t require you to enter a passcode to unlock it.

Set a passcode: Choose General > Passcode Lock and enter a 4-digit passcode,
then enter the passcode again to verify it. iPod touch then requires you to enter the
passcode to unlock it.

Turn passcode lock off: Choose General > Passcode Lock and tap Turn Passcode Off,
then enter your passcode.

Change the passcode: Choose General > Passcode Lock and tap Change Passcode,
enter your current passcode, then enter and reenter your new passcode.

If you forget your passcode, you must restore the iPod touch software. See “Updating
and Restoring iPod touch Software
” on page 110.

Set how long before your passcode is required: Choose General > Passcode Lock
> Require Passcode, then select how long iPod touch can be idle before you need to
enter a passcode to unlock it.

Show SMS Preview when iPod touch is locked: Choose General > Passcode Lock and
tap to turn SMS preview on.

Restrictions

You can set restrictions for iPod content for the use of some applications on
iPod touch. For example, parents can restrict explicit music from being seen on
playlists, or turn off YouTube access entirely.

Explicit music or video content purchased from the iTunes Store will be hidden. Explicit
content is marked as such by content providers (such as record labels) when sold
through the iTunes Store.

Safari is disabled and its icon is removed from the Home screen. You cannot browse the
web or access web clips.

YouTube is disabled and its icon is removed from the Home screen.
