Set up iPod touch
- Download and install the latest version of iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes.
- Connect iPod touch to a USB 2.0 port on your Mac or PC using the included cable. The USB port on most keyboards doesn't provide enough power. Unless your keyboard has a high-powered USB 2.0 port, you must connect iPod touch to a USB 2.0 port on your computer.
- Follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to set up iPod touch and sync your music, video, photos, and other content.
Your computer must be connected to the Internet.
By default, iTunes automatically syncs all songs and videos in your iTunes library to iPod touch. If you have more content in your library than will fit on iPod touch, iTunes alerts you that it can't sync your content. You'll need to use iTunes to select some of your songs, videos, and other content to sync.
