How to Use the Calendar on an iPod

You can use the calendar on an iPod as a quick reminder for things that you have to do or to keep track of important dates and events when you do not have access to a pocket PC. You will need to sync with your desktop computer to add or alter events on the calendar, although you can choose to add calendar items manually to your iPod.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Computer
• iPod

1. Connect the iPod to the desktop computer using the USB sync cables. Open iTunes and start the synchronization process.
2. Sync your iPod up to your desktop computer. Depending on your operating system or individual settings, you may need to manually open up the programs that have calendars which you wish to sync up to the iPod.
3. Allow the syncing process to finish. Now, pull up the main menu on the iPod. You can do this by turning the iPod on or by clicking the center button twice. This will open the main menu, no matter where you were on the iPod.
4. Choose the "Extras” option from the menu. Now, select “Calendar” to view dates and calendars.

Tips & Warnings

• You can also open the program that created the calendar event on your computer and drag the file name over to the iPod while you are syncing. This only works with files that end in .ics or .vcs.
• If you need more detailed notes about a calendar date or event, consider creating a .txt file using a word processing program and exporting the file to the Notes folder.
• Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your desktop computer. As the programming evolves, the tasks to get an iPod to do what you want become simpler and quicker to perform.
• Back-up the information on your computer and iPod frequently to prevent data loss.
