To turn the iPod off, hold the same button until a red slider appears on the screen. Drag the red slider and the iPod powers down.

2. Tap to open an application. To open any application on the iPod Touch, simply tap the corresponding icon. If you want to go back to the main or previous men simply press the single physical button at the bottom of the iPod.

3. Scroll around. You can scroll around any page by simply placing your finger on the screen and sliding it in the direction that you want the page to scroll in.

4. Zoom photos. When viewing photos, pinch the photo and then separate your fingers to zoom in. Do the opposite to zoom out. Alternatively, you can double tap to zoom in and then double tap again to zoom out.

Tap the submenu (such as "Artist," "Album" or "Genre") from which you want to choose your song. When you find the song you want simply tap it to start playing. Use the onscreen controls to pause, skip to the next or previous track or move to a different part of the track.
