For Our Info

Now you have it. You went out and bought a $250 gadget and don’t have the first clue as to how it works. Haven’t we all did this at one time? Sure, we have, so don’t feel bad. It be nice if we could just beat half the technical devices we own up against a rock and it starts working forever. Unfortunately, this is not how it works.

Installing Software

Whether you have a Mac or PC, your IPOD came complete with software, which you will need to install. If you own a MAC, the software will mechanically convert your information over to the proper functional formats. Windows converts to FAT32 while MAC converts or optimizes rather to HFS. Sorry, don’t yell, didn’t realize you were technically disadvantaged. No big deal. I went to school and achieved two Associate degrees in computers and now I am technically disadvantaged also. Anyway, FAT is a File Allocation Table that stores files onto your system. If this table is corrupted, your computer is out of business. Macs HFS is a Hierarchical File Sys. This is where Mac stores files onto the hard drive. You won’t need to worry about optimizing, since the software will automatically handle this process for you.

Windows Optimizing Installation
You may need to follow steps in optimizing the software programs if you are installing on a standard computer. You will have a pop-up box with a systematic guide.
Downloading ITUNES Programs onto a Hard Drive

You will also need to download and install iTunes program, since this is what most IPODS refer as their friends. This program enables you to download, purchase, and play music from a play list or library. You can also rip, burn, download, and transfer files from this program. Rather, this program is what you will need to perform all the named actions. I recommend the latest version, since it is up-to-date and has more to offer than the previous versions. Not only this, if you keep all software on your computer updated it will spare you in the future from performing technical actions.
Transferring Files

Once you have installed the program or software that came with your IPOD you are now ready to plug your IPOD into your computer. You will notice a cord that came with your IPOD, which is called a USB Cable. This cable connects to a USB Port at the back or front of your computer. Now you are ready for transferring files, data, photos, music and more to your hard drive. The FIREWIRE is what you will need to charge your IPOD if it exceeds the battery limit.

During Transfer

After you have selected the music to transfer and the process is in the making, DO NOT stop, or unplug the device until the update is fully completed. Doing so could corrupt files. Once you see a message that the process is completed near the source list, then you can hit eject and unplug your device. Now you have completed the transferring process and are on your way to listening to your favorite tunes.

Tip

Use your IPOD cautiously, since I’ve learnt that these gadgets are easily scratched. Who in the heck wants to pay almost three hundred bucks for a machine all to find it is corrupted.

Since IPODS first came out, they have certainly made new headway. Now everyone and their brother is buying these wacky gadgets. Therefore, if you have a IPOD, you also have a manual, which we recommend you employ to learn more about your new Nano IPOD.
