About the Author

Tony Bove has written about every iPad, iPod, and iPhone model and every update to iTunes from the very beginning, and not only provides free tips on his website (www.tonybove.com/tonytips) but also developed an app (Tony’s Tips for iPhone Users). Tony is a technical publications manager for a software company and has written more than two dozen books on computing, desktop publishing, and multimedia, including iPod touch For Dummies, iLife® ’11 For Dummies, iPad Application Development For Dummies, iPhone Application Development All-in-One For Dummies (all from Wiley), Just Say No to Microsoft (No Starch Press), The GarageBand Book (Wiley), The Art of Desktop Publishing (Bantam), and a series of books about Macromedia Director, Adobe Illustrator, and PageMaker. Tony also founded Desktop Publishing/Publish magazine and the Inside Report on New Media newsletter, and he wrote the weekly Macintosh column for Computer Currents for a decade, as well as articles and columns for a variety of publications including NeXTWORLD, the Chicago Tribune Sunday Technology Section, Macintosh Today, the Prodigy online network, and NewMedia. Tracing the personal computer revolution back to the 1960s counterculture, Tony produced a CD-ROM interactive “rockumentary” in 1996, Haight-Ashbury in the Sixties (which explains his taste in music in this book’s examples). He also developed the Rockument music site, www.rockument.com, with commentary and podcasts focused on rock music history. As a founding member of the Flying Other Brothers, which toured professionally for a decade and released three commercial CDs (52-Week High, San Francisco Sounds, and Estimated Charges), Tony performed with Hall of Fame rock musicians.

Dedication

This book is dedicated to my sons, nieces, nephews, their cousins, and all their children . . . the iPod generation.

Author’s Acknowledgments

I want to thank Kathy for putting up with my hectic writing schedule, and John and Jimi for being perfect examples of the iPod generation. I also want to thank Rich Tennant for his wonderful cartoons, and Dennis Cohen for technical expertise beyond the call of duty. And let me not forget my Wiley editor Jean Nelson for ongoing assistance that made my job so much easier. A book this timely places a considerable burden on a publisher’s production team, and I thank the production crew at Wiley for diligence beyond the call of reason. I owe thanks and a happy hour or three to my agent, Carole Jelen at Waterside. And finally, I have executive editor Bob Woerner at Wiley to thank for coming up with the idea for this book and helping me to become a professional dummy — that is, a Dummies author.

Cheat Sheet

Introduction

Launched on October 23, 2001, the iPod is ubiquitous throughout the world. How the first device came to be called “iPod” is still, to this day, a mystery, but the name not only stuck, it also spawned “iPhone” and “iPad.” Some say a freelance copywriter came up with it after thinking of the phrase “Open the pod bay door, Hal!” from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. According to a team member quoted by Steve Levy in The Perfect Thing (Simon & Schuster), back in 2001, the late Apple chairman Steve Jobs “just came in and went, ‘iPod.’ We all looked around the room, and that was it.” It’s certainly true that the late Steve Jobs rode hard on its design and user interface, making all final decisions. When one of the designers said that, obviously, the device should have a power button to turn the unit on and off, Jobs simply said no. And that was that. (We will all miss his insight.)

There were other MP3 audio players when the iPod was introduced, but none that offered as much capacity for holding music, and none that could change the entire experience of acquiring, playing, and storing your music the way the iPod did. And that’s because the iPod is not alone: It is an integral part of an ecosystem that centers on the iTunes application on your computer, and includes iCloud and the iTunes Store and App Store on the Internet.

iTunes is the center of my media universe and the software that manages content for all my iPods, iPhones, and iPads. I bring all my content into iTunes — from CDs, the iTunes Store, and other sources — and then sync it wirelessly to my iPod touch, iPhones, and iPads for playback. Even though I buy content and apps directly with my iPod touch, everything I obtain is automatically synchronized with my iTunes library on my computer, and just about all my music is synchronized with my iTunes Match library in iCloud.

iTunes was originally developed by Jeff Robbin and Bill Kincaid as an MP3 player called SoundJam MP, and released by Casady & Greene in 1999. It was purchased by Apple in 2000 and redesigned and released as iTunes. Since then, Apple has released numerous updates of iTunes to support new devices, fix bugs, and add new features to improve your content library and your iPod experience. All the important features are covered in this book. iTunes is getting better all the time, and this book gets you started.

About This Book

The publishers are wise about book matters, and they helped me design iPod & iTunes For Dummies, 10th Edition, as a reference. With this book, you can easily find the information you need when you need it. I wrote it so that you can read from beginning to end to find out how to use iTunes and your iPod models from scratch. But this book is also organized so that you can dive in anywhere and begin reading the info you need to know for each task.

I didn’t have enough pages to cover every detail of every function, and I intentionally left out some detail so that you won’t be befuddled with technospeak when it isn’t necessary. I wrote brief but comprehensive descriptions and included lots of cool tips on how to get the most out of your iPod touch.

At the time I wrote this book, I covered the most recent iPod models and the latest version of iTunes. Although I did my best to keep up for this print edition, Apple occasionally slips in a new model or new version of iTunes between book editions. If you’ve bought a new iPod with features not covered in the book, or if your version of iTunes looks a little different, be sure to check out the free Tony’s Tips section of my website (www.tonybove.com/tips) for more tips, bonus chapters, and updates on the latest releases from Apple.

Conventions Used in This Book

Like any book that covers computers, mobile devices, and information technology, this book uses certain conventions:

Choosing from a screen or menu: With an iPod touch, when I write “Choose Settings⇒General from the Home screen,” you tap Settings on the Home screen and then tap General on the Settings screen.

With an iPod classic or iPod nano, when you see “Choose Settings⇒Brightness from the iPod main menu,” you scroll (rotate your finger clockwise around) the click wheel to highlight Settings on the main menu, press the Select button (the center button) to choose Settings, and then highlight and choose Brightness from the Settings menu.

With iTunes, when I write “Choose iTunes⇒Preferences in iTunes,” you click iTunes in the menu bar at the top of the display and then click Preferences in the iTunes menu that appears.

Sliding, scrolling, and flicking on an iPod touch: When you see “Scroll the screen” I mean you need to drag your finger to slide the screen slowly. When I write “scroll the list on the iPod touch Settings screen,” I mean you should drag your finger over the list so that it slides horizontally or vertically. When I write “Flick the screen,” you should flick the screen with your finger to slide it quickly.

Clicking and dragging on the computer: When you see “Drag the song over the name of the playlist,” I mean you need to click the song name (in iTunes), hold the mouse button down, and then drag the song — while holding the mouse button down — over to the name of the playlist before lifting your finger off the mouse button.

Keyboard shortcuts on the computer: When you see Command Key-I, press the Command Key key on a Mac keyboard along with the appropriate shortcut key. (In this case, after selecting a content item or app, press Command Key-I, which opens the Information window in iTunes.) In Windows, the same keyboard shortcut is Ctrl-I (which means press the Ctrl key along with the I key). Don’t worry — I always tell you what the equivalent Windows keys are.

Step lists: When you come across steps that you need to do in iTunes or on the iPod touch, the action is in bold, and the explanatory part follows. If you know what to do, read the action and skip the explanation. But if you need a little help along the way, check out the explanation.

Pop-up menus: I use the term pop-up menu for menus on the Mac that literally pop up from dialogs and windows; in Windows, the same type of menu actually drops down and is called a drop-down menu. I use the term pop-up menu for both.

A Quick Peek Ahead

This book is organized into six parts, and each part covers a different aspect of using your iPod touch and iTunes. Here’s a quick preview of what you can find in each part.

Part I: Touching All the Basics

This part gets you started with your iPod: powering it up, recharging its battery, connecting it to your computer, and so on. You discover how to set up your iPod and install iTunes. You also find out how to use an iPod touch multi-touch interface and onscreen keyboard. I also impart all the techniques I use as an iPod road warrior: organizing apps into folders, setting your alarm and multiple clocks for time zones, keeping time with your stopwatch, changing your display settings, setting the passcode to lock up the device so others can’t use it, and setting restrictions on content and the use of applications.

Part II: Managing Your Library

This part gets you started with iTunes on your computer, including playing and ripping audio CDs, adding videos, and downloading songs, albums, podcasts, audio books, movies, TV shows, and music videos from the iTunes Store, and applications from the App Store. You find out how to buy music, podcasts, videos, and applications directly on your iPod touch. I also show you how to synchronize your iPod touch with iCloud and synchronize all iPod models with the iTunes library on your computer, including your content, personal contacts, e-mail accounts, web bookmarks, and calendars. You also find out how to browse the content in your iTunes library, add and edit content information, and arrange content into iTunes playlists that you can transfer to your iPod. This part also contains crucial information about locating and backing up your iTunes library.

Part III: Playing It Back with Interest

In this part, I show you how to locate and play music on your iPod shuffle, and all types of content on your iPod touch, iPod classic, and iPod nano — music, audio books, podcasts, iTunes U courses, movies, TV shows, videos, and slide shows of your own photos. You also discover how to take photos and record videos with an iPod touch.

Part IV: Touching the Online World

This part describes how to use your iPod touch and the Safari application to surf the web. You also find out how to check and send e-mail, look at your stock portfolio, and check the weather in your city and other cities. I also show you how to display maps and driving directions.

Part V: Staying in Touch and Up-to-Date

In this part, I explain how to use your iPod touch to locate and communicate with friends on Facebook, Twitter, and Game Center; use the Messages app to send and receive text; and use the FaceTime app to make and receive video calls. I also show you how to enter and edit calendar entries, how to enter and sort contacts, and how to use the Siri personal assistant on your iPod touch. You also find out how to update or restore your iPod, and reset its settings.

Part VI: The Part of Tens

In this book’s Part of Tens chapters, I provide ten tips that can help make your iPod experience a completely satisfying one, and I describe ten iPod touch apps that will rock your world.

Bonus Chapters and Tips

Lucky reader! You can take advantage of my previous forays into iPodland by checking out the online bonus chapters and free tips associated with this book in the Tony’s Tips section of my website (www.tonybove.com/tips). Scattered through those tips and bonus chapters, you’ll find even more great informational nuggets. Topics include the following:

Choosing audio encoding formats and quality settings for importing music

Adjusting the volume and equalizing the sound

Preparing photo libraries, videos, address books, and calendars

Managing multiple iTunes libraries and copying your library to other hard drives or computers

Getting wired for playback and using accessories

Icons Used in This Book

The icons in this book are important visual cues for information you need.

Remember icons highlight important things you need to keep in mind.

Technical Stuff icons highlight technical details you can skip unless you want to bring out your inner technical geek.

Tip icons highlight tips and techniques that save you time and energy — and maybe even money.

Warning icons save your butt by preventing disasters. Don’t bypass a Warning without reading it. This is your only warning!

On the Web icons let you know when a topic is covered further online on a website. For example, I call your attention to specific areas within Apple’s site (www.apple.com), and I refer to the free tips and bonus chapters I provide on my site at www.tonybove.com/tips.

Part I

Touching All the Basics

I touch all the basics in this first part to get you started with your iPod as quickly as possible.

I start you out with a power punch in Chapter 1: opening the box and powering up the iPod. You also find out how to get the most from your battery.

Chapter 2 describes how to set up your iPod and install the iOS operating system software on an iPod touch. It also describes how to install iTunes — on a Mac or Windows PC.

Next, in Chapter 3, I show you how to touch an iPod touch, tap an iPod nano, and thumb your iPod classic and iPod shuffle. You get a quick tour of the iPod touch Home screen, the icons, and the onscreen keyboard, including tricks like how to quickly type numbers, symbols, and accent marks.

Then, in Chapter 4, I set you up with the right time and date, clocks for different time zones, alarms, the timer, and the stopwatch. You discover how to set a passcode to lock your iPod so that no one else can use it. You learn how to set the display’s brightness, turn the sound effects and ringtone on or off, and change the wallpapers that appear on the locked screen and behind the Home screen. You find out how to set notifications for your apps, and set restrictions so that your kids can’t jump onto the web or download tunes or videos categorized as explicit in the iTunes Store. You also find out how to connect an iPod touch to the Internet using Wi-Fi.
