How to Connect an iPod Touch to Computer Software
- 1). Install the iTunes software on your computer (it is available as a free download at apple.com).
- 2). Plug one end of the iPod Touch USB cable into a USB port of your laptop or computer.
- 3). Insert the other end of the cable into the bottom slot of your iPod Touch. After a few seconds, iTunes will automatically open on your computer. Your computer will automatically "sync" your iPod Touch, uploading all relevant files to your iPod Touch.
- 4). Disconnect the USB cable once a message appears on both your iTunes and the iPod Touch that says it is safe to disconnect. Disconnecting the iPod Touch too quickly could cause damage files or interrupt their transfer.
