iPod Instructions - Is It That Hard To Figure Out How To Use It?

Maybe you just got an iPod as a gift. Of course, you open the box in a hurry and now you're looking for the iPod instructions but you can't find one. Your last resort would be to go online and find one fast. There are a lot of iPod instructions out there. Some are free and others are for sale.

Here's a tip though. You don't have to read and learn everything in one day, let alone in one hour or thirty minutes. To be able to enjoy your iPod, just learn how you can put your songs into your iPod first. Then later on as you think of a feature you want to use, learn how you can do it.

Getting the Basic iPod Instructions

First off, inspect your iPod physically. Look at all the keys and buttons that it has. Then you can try turning it on by clicking on any key. But wait a minute because you don't have any songs on it yet. You must first load your favorite songs on your iPod.

For loading songs, you will need to download iTunes into your computer. Again familiarize yourself with its interface. If you have existing songs in MP3 format, load them to iTunes. Find where these songs are and then click on them and drag them to the iTunes window. To check if they were added to iTunes, look for a plus sign beside its name on iTunes.

You can also add songs from your CDs. Get your favorite CD and load it while you are online. Then look for the import button on the iTunes window and click it. iTunes would then start adding the songs on your CD.

Another option you have also is going to iTunes music store. You can look for the songs which you don't have yet. Or, you can also find new songs of your favorite artists. Listen to them through a 30-second preview. If you like them, then buy them.

Once you've got everything in there. You can now sync the playlist on iTunes to your iPod. Get the USB cord that came with your iPod and connect it to your computer. Go to the files menu and hit sync iPod. The time you have to wait would depend on how many songs you have on iTunes. But be patient. Do not touch anything on your iTunes window on your first sync if you don't want to incur any problems.

Whew! You are all set to listen to your favorite songs on your iPod. Use the click wheel in browsing through the menu items. Click on it to view and press to the right to go to the next song and to the left to go to the preceding song on the playlist. To rewind, press it to the left and hold it; to forward a song, press it to the right and hold instead.

More Tips

The next time you sync your iPod, you may also want to add just a few songs. What you can do is to go on manual mode. Then just click and drag the songs to the iPod icon to add them. Just like any other storage device, you would have to eject it properly before physically disconnecting when you are done. Perhaps that's enough iPod instructions for now.
