iPod—The Missing Manual

Apple continues to set the bar for music players, with bold new features like the iPod Touch’s electronic billfold and seamless Facebook integration. But iPods still don’t come with a guide to help you get started. This full-color Missing Manual shows you how to play music, videos, and slideshows, shop the iTunes store, and create and manage your media library. It’s the most comprehensive (and popular) iPod book available.

The important stuff you need to know:

• Fill it up. Load your iPod with music, photos, movies, TV shows, games, and ebooks.
• Tune it in. Download media from the iTunes Store, rip CDs, and then organize your entire media collection.
• Tackle the Touch. Shoot photos and video, send and receive email and text messages, and make FaceTime video calls.
• Go wireless. Sync your content and surf the Web over the air, using the Touch’s new iOS 6 software.
• Keep tabs. Hold your boarding passes, movie tickets, loyalty cards, and more in Touch’s electronic Passbook.
• Move with the redesigned Nano. Go to your main screen any time with the new Home button and enjoy video and photos on the expanded screen.
• Master the Shuffle and Classic. Get your Shuffle talking with VoiceOver, and play music, video, and slideshows on your Classic.
