Adding applications to iPhone or iPod touch

You can download applications for your iPhone or iPod touch from the App Store. Purchases are made through your iTunes Store account. Many applications are free.

To download applications for iPhone and iPod touch:

  • In iTunes, click iTunes Store.

  • In the iTunes Store, near the top of the homepage, click App Store.

  • Browse for an application, and then click Buy App (if it’s a free application, click Get App).

To sync applications to iPhone or iPod touch:

  • Connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your computer.

  • In iTunes, select iPhone or iPod touch (below Devices), and then click the Applications tab.

  • Select “Sync Applications” and then select the applications you want to sync.

    If you have iPhone OS 3.1 or later, you can also do the following:

  • Drag applications from the list on the left to the home screen on the right.

  • Arrange the appearance of your device’s home screens by dragging application icons to where you want them to appear.

  • Click apply and then click Sync.

You can use the applications you download only on your iPhone or iPod touch (not on your computer).

If you’re connected to 3G or a Wi-Fi network, you can also buy applications directly from your iPhone or iPod touch (some applications might not work on all devices). For more information, see the documentation that came with your iPhone or iPod touch.
