Buy or rent videos from the iTunesStore. Tap Store in the Videos app, or open the iTunes Store
app on iPod touch, then tap Videos. See Chapter 22, iTunes Store, on page 104. The iTunes Store
is not available in all areas.
Transfer videos from your computer. Connect iPod touch, then sync videos from iTunes on your
computer. See Sync with iTunes on page 17.
Stream videos from your computer. Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer. Then,
on iPod touch, go to Settings > Videos and enter the Apple ID and password you used to set up
Home Sharing on your computer. Then open Videos on iPod touch and tap Shared at the top of
the list of videos.
Convert a video for iPodtouch. If you try to sync a video from iTunes to iPod touch and a
message says the video can’t play on iPod touch, you can convert the video. Select the video in
your iTunes library and choose File > Create New Version > “Create iPod or iPhone Version.” Then
sync the converted video to iPod touch.
Delete a video. Tap Edit in the upper right of your collection, then tap on the video thumbnail.
If you don’t see the Edit button, look for on your video thumbnails—those videos haven’t
been downloaded to iPod touch, so you can’t delete them. To delete an individual episode of a
series, swipe left on the episode in the Episodes list.
Deleting a video (other than a rented movie) from iPod touch doesn’t delete it from the iTunes
library on your computer, and you can sync the video back to iPod touch later. If you don’t want
to sync the video back to iPod touch, set iTunes to not sync the video. See Sync with iTunes on
page 17.
Important:If you delete a rented movie from iPod touch, it’s deleted permanently and cannot be
transferred back to your computer.
