Full Description
Learn what you can do with iPod Touch and its multi-touch interface, 3.5-inch widescreen display and Wi-Fi browsing capabilities. Get to know the redesigned iPod Nano with its larger display and video storage capacity. It's all right here. The 6th edition sports easy-to-follow color graphics, crystal-clear explanations, and guidance on the most useful things your iPod can do. Topics include:
- Out of the box and into your ears. Learn how to install iTunes, load music on your iPod, and get rid of that dang flashing "Do not disconnect" message.
- Bopping around the iPod. Whether you've got a tiny Shuffle, a Nano, the Classic, or the new Touch, you'll learn everything from turning your iPod off and on to charging your iPod without a computer. Special coverage for iPod owners with trickster friends: How to reset the iPod's menus to English if they've been changed to, say, Korean.
- In tune with iTunes. iTunes can do far more than your father's jukebox. Learn how to pick and choose which parts of your iTunes library loads onto your iPod, how to move your sacred iTunes Folder to a bigger hard drive, and how to add album covers to your growing collection.
- The power of the 'Pod. Download movies and TV shows, play photo slideshows, find cool podcasts, and more: this book shows you how to unleash all your iPod's power.
iPod is simply the best music player available, and this is the manual that should have come with it.

Media reviews
"One of the beauties of the Missing Manuals is that there is always something new to discover and the research is quite thorough...I kept finding snippets of information, in the way of Tips or Notes, that would give just that bit extra."
-- Graham K. Rogers, Bangkok Post
"The iPod is deceptive in its sleek design, compact size, and minimal consumer packaging. It looks simple and uncomplicated, yet all of its various models contain a tightly packaged array of high technology that requires a learned owner in order to enjoy maximum benefit. Here is the book that both shows and tells how to accomplish the activities that will open all of the capabilities, of all of the current iPod models, including the iPod Touch. (Reprinted with

-- Michael Kleper, The Kleper Report on Digital Publishing
"Reading this book is a must for iPod users. Most uses are thought to be limited to music or audio books, but a review takes it far beyond. This book closely ties in with iTunes. It also demonstrates its use for photos, videos, calendars, schedules, address book, clock and stop watch, games, portable hard drives and others. It clearly explains how to install, amend and delete entire playlists plus shopping the iTunes store. Its chapter on maintenance, battery charging and preservation is a “must read.”
"
-- Bill Lauerman, Macs West
"This book is small, but it is packed with useful information, formatted in such a way as to be able to quickly find what you want or need to know. It covers set up, iTunes, and how to work with Nano, Shuffle, and video iPods. Once the basics of working with iTunes and your iPod are covered, then there is in-depth information on music, but also videos, pictures, audiobooks, podcasts, etc. There is even a section on things like battery replacement, speakers, accessories, etc. The book is an easy read (I read it on vacation) as well as a really hand reference."
-- Glenda Alley, Northwest Apple Pickers
"Pogue, the New York Times computer columnist, is among the world's best explainers."
-- Kevin Kelly, co-founder of Wired
"The manual goes way beyond loading music. Users can become experts in podcasts, loading videos and photos, creating customized playlists and going deep into explaining the settings to customize them for your needs. Ever try to burn a playlist on a CD and end up giving up? And where is the music stored on my computer? These and many more topics are explained in great detail along with user-friendly color graphics to help understand what the authors are saying."
-- Gregg Ellman, Star-Telegram
"Forget looking at that skimpy manual that came with your iPod! Whether you are discovering the features of that new iPod you received for the holidays or just want to know what’s new with the newest generation of iPods, iPod: The Missing Manual is for you."
-- Irv Hass, Apple Pickers Macintosh User Group
"I have reviewed quite a number of Missing Manual books and I am always impressed with them. David Pogue is a Mac master and the depth of his knowledge shines through."
-- Roger Bernau, ACT Apple User Group Incorporated
