How to Use the iPod Click Wheel

One of the best things about owning an iPod is the fact that it is easy to use because of its signature navigation tool, the click wheel.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Begin by checking the hold switch at the top of the iPod. When the switch indicator is red, the buttons on the click wheel will be inactive. To activate the click wheel, slide the hold switch to where the indicator is white.
2. Start up the iPod by pressing the circular button at the center of the click wheel. Hold this button down until the Apple logo appears. After a moment or two, the main menu will light up.
3. Navigate your way up and down the menu list by using the touch-sensitive click wheel. Without pressing down, slide your finger over the gray circular area. Clockwise motions will take you down the menu list, while counter-clockwise circles will take you back up.
4. Click the center button to choose the highlighted selection on the menu. The center button and touch-sensitive motions will continue to serve you as you navigate your way through the various menus.
5. Click the top of the wheel marked "Menu" to be taken back to the previous menu screen. To get back to the initial menu screen, click the menu button until the top of the screen reads "iPod."
6. Click the Play/Pause button on the bottom of the wheel to play and pause music, movies and videos. Pressing and holding the play/pause button will put the iPod into standby mode. Activate the hold switch when the iPod is put on standby.
7. The buttons on the left and right of the click wheel are for track back and track forward. Click these to skip songs or move to various scenes of a movie or video.
8. Use the click wheel to reset your iPod if it has frozen. Begin by toggling the hold switch on and off. Next, press and hold the menu and center buttons, simultaneously, for about 6 seconds. Hold the buttons until the Apple logo appears on your screen.
