You're not going to find a manual for the iPod touch in the small plastic box that the device comes in. But that doesn't mean that no manual exists.
The amount of people with iPads is growing more than anyone could have originally imagined. If you have been thinking of getting an iPad or just got an iPad and want to know more about how to use. These operating system manuals are marked alongside the iPad model with which they debuted, however, you should use the manual that corresponds to the version of iOS you use rather than your iPad model. Most iPad users are now on iOS 9, so if you are unsure of your version, download the iOS 9 manual.
These days, it's pretty rare to get hardcopy, physical versions of things that can be delivered digitally. Just like more people stream music than buy it on CD and more people download software than get it on a disc, there are also fewer and fewer printed user manuals for consumer electronics. Instead, companies offer downloadable PDFs that we can print if we want or store on our hard drives to consult when we need them.
That's the case with Apple's iPod touch. While the iPod touch does come with a few slight pages of documentation, you don't get a robust user manual in the box. Apple offers iPod touch manuals at its website for every version of the iOS that the touch can run, as well as some additional information. So, whatever model of touch you have and what OS version you're using, you'll find the manual for it below.
iPod touch Manuals
These manuals provide overall instructions for using the iPod touch, with instructions and details specific to the version of the iOS noted below.

Recently, Apple has stopped offering manuals as PDFs and has replaced those options with iBooks documents. The iBooks app comes pre-loaded on iOS devices and Macs, so you can download those documents and open them in the app without getting any new software.
Model-Specific iPod touch Documentation
Apple also provides documentation specific to a number of different models of the iPod touch. While the first three items on this list are for specific models, everything else applies to any model that can run the listed version of the iOS.
