Chapter 3 Basics 31 Bluetooth devices You can use Bluetooth devices with iPod touch, such as stereo headphones or an Apple Wireless Keyboard. For supported Bluetooth profiles, go to support.apple.com/kb/HT3647. WARNING: For important information about avoiding hearing loss and avoiding distraction while driving, see Important safety information on page 13 3 . Note: The use of certain accessories with iPod touch may affect wireless performance. Not all iPhone and iPad accessories are fully compatible with iPod touch. Turning on airplane mode may eliminate audio interference between iPod touch and an accessory. Reorienting or relocating iPod touch and the connected accessory may improve wireless performance. Turn on Bluetooth. Go to Settings > Bluetooth. Connect to a Bluetooth device. Tap the device in the Devices list, then follow the onscreen instructions to connect to it. See the documentation that came with the device for information about Bluetooth pairing. For information about using an Apple Wireless Keyboard, see Use an Apple Wireless Keyboard on page 24 . iPod touch must be within about 30 feet (10 meters) of the Bluetooth device. Return audio output to iPod touch. Turn off or unpair the device, turn off Bluetooth in Settings > Bluetooth, or use AirPlay to switch audio output to iPod touch. See AirPlay on page 30 . Audio output returns to iPod touch whenever the Bluetooth device is out of range. Unpair a device. In Settings > Bluetooth, tap next to the device, then tap “Forget this Device.” If you don’t see the Devices list, make sure Bluetooth is on. Restrictions You can set restrictions for some apps, and for purchased content. For example, parents can restrict explicit music from appearing in playlists, or disallow changes to certain settings. Use restrictions to prevent the use of certain apps, the installation of new apps, or changes to accounts or the volume limit. Turn on restrictions. Go to Settings > General > Restrictions, then tap Enable Restrictions. You’ll be asked to define a restrictions passcode that’s necessary in order to change the settings you make. This can be different than the passcode for unlocking iPod touch. Important: If you forget your restrictions passcode, you must restore the iPod touch software. See Restore iPod touch on page 13 9 . Privacy Privacy settings let you see and control which apps and system services have access to Location Services, and to contacts, calendars, reminders, and photos. Location Services lets location-based apps such as Maps, Camera, and Passbook gather and use data indicating your location. Your approximate location is determined using available information from local Wi-Fi networks (if you have Wi-Fi turned on). The location data collected by Apple isn’t collected in a form that personally identifies you. When an app is using Location Services, appears in the menu bar. Turn Location Services on or off. Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services. You can turn it off for some or for all apps and services. If you turn off Location Services, you’re prompted to turn it on again the next time an app or service tries to use it.
Chapter 3 Basics 32 Turn Location Services off for system services. Several system services, such as location-based iAds, use Location Services. To see their status, turn them on or off, or show in the menu bar when these services use your location, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services. Turn off access to private information. Go to Settings > Privacy. You can see which apps and features have requested and been granted access to the following information: •Contacts •Calendar •Reminders •Photos •Bluetooth Sharing •Microphone •Twitter •Facebook You can turn off each app’s access to each category of information. Review the terms and privacy policy for each third-party app to understand how it uses the data it’s requesting. Security Security features help protect the information on your iPod touch from being accessed by others. Use a passcode with data protection For better security, you can set a passcode that must be entered each time you turn on or wake up iPod touch. Set a passcode. Go to Settings > Passcode and set a 4-digit passcode. Setting a passcode turns on data protection, using your passcode as a key to encrypt Mail messages and attachments stored on iPod touch, using 256-bit AES encryption. (Other apps may also use data protection.) Increase security. Turn off Simple Passcode and use a longer passcode. To enter a passcode that’s a combination of numbers and letters, you use the keyboard. If you prefer to unlock iPod touch using the numeric keypad, set up a longer passcode using numbers only. Allow access to features when iPod touch is locked. Go to Settings > Passcode. Optional features include: •Siri (if enabled; see Siri settings on page 37 ) •Passbook (see Chapter 24, Passbook, on page 95) •Reply with Message (see Make and answer calls on page 58 ) Allow access to Control Center when iPod touch is locked. Go to Settings > Control Center. See Control Center on page 27 . Erase data after ten failed passcode attempts. Go to Settings > Passcode and tap Erase Data. After ten failed passcode attempts, all settings are reset, and all your information and media are erased by removing the encryption key to the data. If you forget your passcode, you must restore the iPod touch software. See Restore iPod touch on page 13 9 .
Chapter 3 Basics 33 iCloud Keychain iCloud Keychain keeps your website user names and passwords, and credit card information that you set up with Safari, up to date on iPod touch and your other designated iOS devices and Macs running OS X Mavericks. iCloud Keychain works with Safari Password Generator and AutoFill. When you’re setting up a new account, Safari Password Generator suggests unique, hard-to-guess passwords. You can use AutoFill to have iPod touch enter your user name and password info, making login easy. See Fill in forms on page 48. Note: Some websites do not support AutoFill. iCloud Keychain works on all your approved iOS 7 devices and Macs running OS X Mavericks. iCloud Keychain is secured with 256-bit AES encryption during storage and transmission, and cannot be read by Apple. Set up iCloud Keychain. Go to Settings > iCloud > Keychain. Turn on iCloud Keychain and follow the onscreen instructions. If you’ve set up iCloud Keychain on other devices, you need to approve the use of iCloud Keychain from one of those devices, or use your iCloud Security Code. Important: If you forget your security code, you’ll have to start over and set up your iCloud Keychain again. Set up AutoFill. Go to Settings > Safari > Passwords & AutoFill. Make sure Names and Passwords, and Credit Cards, are turned on (they’re on by default). To add credit card info, tap Saved Credit Cards. The security code for your credit card is not saved—you have to enter that manually. To automatically fill in names, passwords, or credit card info on sites that support it, tap a text field, then tap AutoFill. To protect your personal information, set a passcode if you turn on iCloud Keychain and AutoFill. Limit Ad Tracking Restrict or reset Ad Tracking. Go to Settings > Privacy > Advertising.

WARNING: For important safety information about the battery and charging iPod touch, see Imp ortant safety information on page 13 3. Charge the battery. Connect iPod touch to your computer using the included cable. You can sync iPod touch with iTunes at the same time. It may take longer to charge, however, if you sync or use iPod touch while it is charging. Unless your keyboard has a high-power USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, you must connect iPod touch to a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port on your computer. Important: The iPod touch battery may drain instead of charge, if iPod touch is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode. Charge the battery using a power adapter. Connect iPod touch to a power outlet using the included cable and a USB power adapter (available separately).
Chapter 3 Basics 35 Note: Connecting iPod touch to a power outlet can start an iCloud backup or wireless iTunes syncing. See Back up iPod touch on page 13 8 and Sync with iTunes on page 17. The battery icon in the upper-right corner shows the battery level or charging status. Important: If iPod touch is very low on power, it may display an image of a nearly depleted battery, indicating that iPod touch needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it. If iPod touch is extremely low on power, the display may be blank for up to two minutes before one of the low-battery images appears. Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced. The iPod touch battery isn’t user replaceable; it can be replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider. See www.apple.com/batteries/replacements.html.
