Using iPod mini

Importing Addresses, Phone Numbers, Calendar Events,
and To-Do Lists

Your iPod mini can store contacts, calendar events, and to-do lists, for viewing on the

go. If you are using a Mac and iSync, it’s as easy as clicking a button.

To import all information using a Mac and iSync:

1

Connect iPod mini to your computer.

2

Open iSync and choose Devices > Add Device. You only need to do this step the

first time you use iSync with your iPod mini.

3

Select iPod mini and click Sync Now.

The next time you want to sync iPod mini, you can simply open iSync and click Sync

Now. You can also choose to have iPod mini sync automatically when you connect it.

iSync imports information from iCal and Mac OS X Address Book.

Note: iSync transfers information from your computer to your iPod mini. You can’t use

iSync to transfer information from your iPod mini to your computer.

If you are using Windows, or you don’t want to import using iSync, you can transfer

information to iPod mini manually. iPod mini must be enabled as a hard disk (see

“Using iPod mini as an External Hard Disk” on page 35).

To import contact information manually:

1

Connect iPod mini to your computer and open your favorite email or contacts

application. Importing contacts works with Palm Desktop, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft

Entourage, and Eudora, among others.

2

Drag contacts from the application’s address book to the iPod mini Contacts folder.
