Using iPod

51

The next time you want to sync iPod, you can simply open iSync and click Sync Now.

You can also choose to have iPod sync automatically when you connect it.

Note: iSync transfers information from your computer to iPod. You can’t use iSync to

transfer information from your iPod to your computer.

If you are using Windows, or you don’t want to import using iSync, you can transfer

information to iPod manually. iPod must be enabled as a hard disk (see “Using iPod as

an External Hard Disk” on page 48).

To import contact information manually:

1

Connect iPod and open your favorite email or contacts application. Importing contacts

works with Palm Desktop, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Entourage, and Eudora, among

others.

2

Drag contacts from the application’s address book to the iPod Contacts folder.

In some cases you may need to export contacts, then drag the exported file or files to

the iPod Contacts folder. See the documentation for your email or contacts application.

To import appointments and other calendar events manually:

1

Export calendar events from any calendar application that uses the standard iCalendar

format (filenames end in .ics) or vCal format (filenames end in .vcs).

2

Drag the files to the Calendars folder on iPod.

Note: You can only transfer to-do lists to iPod using iSync and iCal.

To view contacts on iPod:

n

Select Extras > Contacts.
