Operation Manual

Watching Videos on a TV

You can watch videos on your TV by connecting iPod touch to your TV or AV receiver

with an AV cable. Or, you can stream videos wirelessly to your TV using AirPlay and

Apple TV.

Connect using an AV cable: 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 that lets you control playback from a distance.

Stream videos using AirPlay: Start video playback, then tap and choose your

Apple TV from the list. If doesn’t appear or if you don’t see your Apple TV in the

list of AirPlay devices, make sure it’s on the same wireless network as iPod touch.

To return playback to iPod touch, tap again and choose iPod touch from the list.

Apple cables and docks are available for purchase separately. Go to

www.apple.com/ipodstore (may not be available in all countries or regions) or

check with your local Apple retailer.

Converting Videos for iPod touch

You can add videos other than those purchased from the iTunes Store to iPod touch,

such as videos you create in iMovie on a Mac, or videos you download from the

Internet and then add to iTunes.

If you try to add a video from iTunes to iPod touch and a message says the video can’t

play on iPod touch, you can convert the video.

Convert a video to work with iPod touch: Select the video in your iTunes library and

choose Advanced > “Create iPod or iPhone Version.” Then add the converted video to

iPod touch.

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.

Deleting a video from iPod touch (other than a rented movie or TV show) doesn’t

delete the video from your iTunes library. It may reappear on iPod touch if the video in

iTunes is still set to sync.

Important: If you delete a rented movie or TV show from iPod touch, it’s deleted

permanently and cannot be transferred back to your computer.
