Disabled iPod touch
If iPod touch is disabled because you forgot your passcode or entered an incorrect passcode too
many times, you can restore iPod touch from an iTunes or iCloud backup and reset the passcode.
For more information, see Restore iPod touch on page 139.
If you get a message in iTunes that your iPod touch is locked and you must enter a passcode, see
support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.
VPN settings
A VPN (virtual private network) provides secure access over the Internet to private networks,
such as the network at your organization. You may need to install a VPN app from the App Store
that congures your iPod touch to access a network. Contact your system administrator for
information about the app and settings you need.
Proles settings
Conguration proles dene settings for using iPod touch with corporate or school networks or
accounts. You might be asked to install a conguration prole that was sent to you in an email,
or one that is downloaded from a web page. iPod touch asks for your permission to install the
prole, and displays information about what it contains, when you open the le. You can see
the proles you have installed in Settings > General > Proles. If you delete a prole, all of the
settings, apps, and data associated with the prole are also deleted.
Back up iPod touch
You can use iCloud or iTunes to automatically back up iPod touch. If you choose to back up using
iCloud, you can’t also use iTunes to automatically back up to your computer, but you can use
iTunes to manually back up to your computer. iCloud backs up iPod touch daily over Wi-Fi, when
it’s connected to a power source and is locked. The date and time of the last backup is listed at
the bottom of the Storage & Backup screen.
iCloud backs up your:
•
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
•
Photos and videos in your Camera Roll
•
iPod touch settings
•
App data
•
Home screen, folders, and app layout
•
Messages
•
Ringtones
Note: Purchased content is not backed up in all areas.
Turn on iCloud backups. Go to Settings > iCloud, then log in with your Apple ID and password if
required. Go to Storage & Backup, then turn on iCloud Backup. To turn on backups in iTunes, go
to File > Devices > Back Up.
Back up immediately. Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, then tap Back Up Now.
Encrypt your backup. iCloud backups are encrypted automatically so that your data is protected
from unauthorized access both while it’s transmitted to your devices and when it’s stored in iCloud.
If you’re using iTunes for your backup, select “Encrypt iPod backup” in the iTunes Summary pane.
