Set up other mail, contacts, and calendar accounts
iPod touch works with Microsoft Exchange, and many of the most popular Internet-based mail,
contacts, and calendar service providers.
Set up an account. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account.
You can add contacts using an LDAP or CardDAV account if your company or organization
supports it. See Add contacts on page 127.
You can add calendars using a CalDAV calendar account, and you can subscribe to iCalendar (.ics)
calendars or import them from Mail. See Use multiple calendars on page 72.
Manage content on your iOS devices
You can transfer information and les between your iOS devices and computers, using iCloud
or iTunes.
•
iCloud stores your photos and videos, documents, music, calendars, contacts, and more. It all
gets pushed wirelessly to your other iOS devices and computers, keeping everything up to
date. See iCloud on page 14.
•
iTunes syncs music, videos, photos, and more between your computer and iPod touch.
Changes you make on one device are copied to the other when you sync. You can also use
iTunes to sync les and documents. See Sync with iTunes on page 17.
You can use iCloud or iTunes, or both, depending on your needs. For example, you can use
iCloud to automatically keep your contacts and calendars up to date on all your devices, and use
iTunes to sync music from your computer to iPod touch.
Important:To avoid duplicates, keep contacts, calendars, and notes in sync using iCloud or
iTunes, but not both.
You can also manually manage content from iTunes, in the device’s Summary pane. This lets you
add songs and videos, by choosing a song, video, or playlist from your iTunes library and then
dragging it to your iPod touch in iTunes. This is useful if your iTunes library contains more items
than can t on your device.
Note:If you’re using iTunes Match, you can manually manage only video.
