Similarly, when you disable contacts or calendars in an MobileMe or Exchange account,

or if you delete an account, iPod touch asks if you want to keep information or delete it.

You can add contacts using an LDAP account if your company or organization

supports it. See “Adding Contacts” on page 79.

You can subscribe to CalDAV or iCal (.ics) calendars. See “Subscribing to Calendars”

on page 70.

Push Accounts

MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, and Yahoo! Mail are known as “push” accounts. When

new information is available, such as the arrival of an email message, the information

is automatically delivered (pushed) to iPod touch. (In contrast, “fetch” services require

your email software to periodically check with your service provider to see if new

messages have arrived, and then request them to be delivered.) MobileMe and

Exchange also use push to sync your contacts, calendars, and bookmarks (MobileMe

only) if you have those items selected in the account settings.

Synced information is transferred automatically over your wireless connection; you

don’t need to connect iPod touch to your computer to sync. iPod touch can receive

pushed data over a Wi-Fi connection only when iPod touch is awake (the screen is on,

or iPod touch is connected to your computer or a power adapter).

Installing Conﬁguration Proﬁles

If you’re in an enterprise environment, you may be able to set up accounts and

other items on iPod touch by installing a conﬁguration proﬁle. Conﬁguration proﬁles

provide a way for system administrators to quickly set up your iPod touch to work

with the information systems at your company, school, or organization. For example, a

conﬁguration proﬁle might set up your iPod touch to access the Microsoft Exchange

servers at work, enabling iPod touch to access your Exchange email, calendars, and

contacts.

Conﬁguration proﬁles can conﬁgure multiple settings on iPod touch all at once. For

example, a conﬁguration proﬁle can set up your Microsoft Exchange account, VPN

account, and certiﬁcates for secure access to your company’s network and information.

A conﬁguration proﬁle may turn on the Passcode Lock, requiring you to create and

enter a passcode for using iPod touch.

Your system administrator may distribute conﬁguration proﬁles by email or by putting

them on a secure webpage. A system administrator may also install a conﬁguration

proﬁle directly on iPod touch for you.
