How to Sync an iPod Touch With Microsoft Outlook

Although the iPod Touch cannot place calls like the iPhone, it does contain a Contacts application that holds all of your contacts from various email clients, including Microsoft Outlook 2007. In order to access your contacts on your iPod Touch you'll need to sync your Outlook 2007 program with the iPod Touch, using iTunes to transfer the information. As you continue to add new contacts or edit existing contacts in Outlook, the iPod Touch will automatically update your current contacts during synchronization.

Things You'll Need

• Microsoft Outlook 2007
• USB cable
• iTunes 7.7 or later

Instructions

1. Click "Start," "All Programs," "Apple" and "iTunes" to run iTunes.

2. Insert the USB cable into the iPod Touch dock connector, located on the bottom of the device. Insert the other end of the USB cable into an empty USB slot on your computer.

3. Click the "iPod Touch" icon under the "Devices" section in your iTunes sidebar.

4. Click the "Info" tab, and check the "Sync contacts from" box. Check the box next to "Outlook Contacts."

5. Select "All Contacts" or "Selected Groups." In "Selected Groups," check the boxes next to the contact groups you wish to sync.

6. Click "Apply" and disconnect the device when the synchronization is complete.
