"Hey, it's Rokosz, your digital lifestyle expert here and I'm going to show you how to set the alarm on your iPod. Now for this demonstration, just you know, I'm going to be using a Six Generation iPod and also works on the Fifth and Fourth; so follow along. The first thing we want to do is continue to hit your menu button until you're all the way back to your main screen. Okay. Now you're going to see; you'll know you're there because it will be your major designation. First of all, well, once you hit menu you're not going to go back any further; but you'll see music, videos, photos, podcasts. What we're looking for is extras. So hit the center button and we're in extras; move it up to or down rather, to alarms and there. You can create an alarm or sleep timer. We're going to create a new alarm right here; we're going to turn it on, we can set the date. Well let's go ahead and set the date here, alright. We're going to make it today and toggling through it's going to be this year. We're going to set the time that we want it to. We're just going to hit the center button and we're just going to move the wheels. I move the wheel; you're going to see the numbers change and you're going to see a move on the real clock. So let's set it a; see here; 4:00; by hitting center button I'm moving it over and let's set it to 4:21. Click there; we do want it to be PM and click it over. Now we can choose to repeat it; if you want to do that everyday; just on the weekends; weekdays; every week; every month; every year; you decide. We're going to leave it on once here. We're going to put down to the sound, aha. The fun part about the sound is you can do a tone just like a beep. Oh is that fun? No. We go down to our playlist here and now we can decide to put on some real fun songs. So instead of just having, "Bebebep-bebebep", you know, you want the Beastie Boys Fight For Your Right To Party, "Ha ha ha ha", you just decide. That's the thing about the iPod. Now we can go down the label here and if you have a bunch of different ones, you can choose that. Is that alarm? Let's see here. Yeah. I'm going to use that alarm to remind me to take my medication. And then if we want to make it go away, we could just simply hit delete. So remember it's as easy as going menu all the way back; extra; alarms and then just go down this thing and set the different things that you want. How long you want it to be; what time; what date; what you want to call it; what should it play; you decide, the iPod put you in control; like me, Rokosz, your digital lifestyle expert saying, "Stream you later." Stream you later."
