iPod: The Missing Manual

by J.D.Biersdorfer (Author)

Synopsis

The iPod is not just a music player. It can also download your address book, calendar, favorite Web sites, news headlines and more. This manual covers not only all of the secrets and unlocked potential of this data jukebox, but also covers the software that drives it: iTunes 4 for the Mac, MusicMatch for Windows - and even the new Apple Music Store that fills it. New York Times computer columnist J.D. Biersdorfer writes with humour and expertise. This manual not only covers all iPod models for both Mac and Windows, including the 2003 series, it's also a guide to iTunes, MusicMatch Jukebox Plus, and even the new iTunes Music Store. With humour and authority, New York Times tech columnist J. D. Biersdorfer lays bare a collection of useful tips, tricks, and shortcuts. No matter what kind of music moves you, "iPod: The Missing Manual" should help you get much more out of your iPod - and much more into it. The book presents useful tips, tricks, and shortcuts including: iPod as PalmPilot - the iPod can suck in your calendar, address book, to-do list, and notes from a Mac or PC, and then display them at the touch of a buttonl; it also doubles as an alarm clock and stopwatch; iPod as hard drive - you can use your iPod to carry gigantic files from place to place; iPod as e-book - the iPod is also a book reader, capable of scrolling through recipes, driving directions, and even Web pages; and iPod as GameBoy. The iPod's games are perfect time-killers for waiting rooms, bus rides and the Department of Motor Vehicles.
