iPod Touch Text Tips

Text Entry on an iPod Touch can be challenging, so here are a few tips:

• iPod Touch will auto correct and auto suggest as you type, so look for the suggestion bubbles and tap them to insert text and save time.
• Press and hold on a word to get a blue highlight over the word with blue buttons/circles at the top, bottom and/or left, right.  Drag the buttons/circles to highlight text you wish to copy. Tap the Copy balloon.  Next, go into the Notes app or any text app, tap and hold, and choose paste to enter the copied text.
• (Love this one!)  When entering text, tap the space bar twice at the end of a sentence, and the iTouch will automatically add a period, a space, and capitalize the next letter typed.  Sweet!
• iPod Touch will "learn" words from the words typed and recognize names from the Contacts entered.
• Hold down the back arrow to delete quickly.
• Hold down on text you have entered to get the "cursor bubble" and drag the cursor to the position you want.
• Go to Settings > General > Reset > Keyboard Dictionary to clear “learned” words you may not want in the iPod Touch Dictionary.

Miscellaneous Info

• Each iPod touch screen will house 20 icons; 9 screens per iPod Touch is the maximum.
• Tap and hold an icon until all icons wiggle.  You can then drag the icons to rearrange them or click the red X to delete.
• iPod Touch apps will play on the iPad, but iPad apps will not play on iPod Touch.
