Locked out side you iPod and can’t get in? Forgot the combination to your ipod screen lock? There is a solution! Let’s see how to unlock your ipod so you can reuse it.
If you are lucky, all you need to do is to connect the ipod to your computer. If you’ve worked with itunes on this computer, the ipod should simply unlock itself.
Didn’t work? Well, restoring your ipod to its factory settings might be the only way for you to unlock your ipod. Even though restoring it would erase all the content, you can easily sync all of it from your itunes. However, any settings you had changed before will be reset.

If you think your ipod touch or ipod nano is too sensitive and jumps from song to song even when you don’t mean it, you can always disable the “shake to shuffle”:- From the ipod’s home page go to Settings
- Go to Music
- Find “Shake to Shuffle” and turn it off.
Even though restoring an ipod to factory setting would erase all the content on it, don’t worry. You can easily sync anything you want from your itunes. However, any settings you had changed on the ipod will be reset.
So here’s how restore an ipod to its factory settings:
You can easily do it by following the “How to update your iPod software” section in our iTunes video guides.
Or follow this actions:
- Connect your ipod to the computer, and make sure the internet connection is on.
- In iTunes, select your ipod from the device list.
- Select the “summary” tab.
- Click “restore”.
- itunes will download the ipod software (this might be a big file, so it may take a while! please wait patiently) and install it on your ipod.
If sync doesn’t start automatically, sync your ipod manually, and you are ready to go!

Even actions like adding music to your ipod, which some people might find easy, others are struggling to understand how to do it. An ipod tutorial focused on these people can make a world of a difference.
Take for example the iTunes & iPod Video Tutorials. It doesn’t assume instructions like: “Download and install iTunes” are easy to follow. So it actually shows you how to do it. The same goes for ipod tutorial videos which cover how to operate the ipod, use its controls, change settings and more.
Whoever was looking for an ipod tutorial is expecting it to teach and not just to instruct. This means the level of the ipod tuorial should match the person who is using it. It should be easy to follow, focus on how to operate the important and common features, and make sure you start enjoying your new ipod as soon as possible.
]]>It goes down to this: using ipods is not easy for everyone! using itune is not easy for everyone.
I’m not talking about people who are used to working with gadgets and computers. Just think about all the “regular” people who just want to enjoy their new ipod and their music.
What these people might find handy – are you one of them? – is some good quality, fully detailed and easily understood apple ipod help, in the form of a manual, tutorial or even video guides.
It’s a simple question of whether this information helps you setup and enjoy your ipod today and now. How easy is it to follow? Is it updated? Does it assume you are familiar with ipods before, or is it targeted to your level? So the next time you are searching for apple ipod help, think about it, and good luck!

]]>Whoever came up with the ipod and itunes software didn’t realize there are many people who do not find it easy to use these things. There are many websites and ipod-for-experts stuff out there. It’s time we have some ipod-for-dummies things as well!
So what should ipod-for-dummies information include?
First of all: simple, straight-forward and detailed instructions on how to download and install itunes. And when I say simple and detailded – I mean it! You should actually see how to do it, and not just read about it.
How to sync (that means copy in “dummy” language) music and videos from itunes to your ipod. The “experts” might know how find all those hidden advanced checkboxes, but ipod for dummies information should make you click as few times as possible!
And last – how to operate your ipod. Are you a dummy? I say good for you! Here’s how to play music, watch videos and enjoy your ipod. Do you really want to know about every single boring settings and option??? maybe later… not now!
Don’t forget, ipod manuals are for YOU, not for the ipod experts. If you are looking for an ipod for dummies manual, like these video guides, make sure they match your level, so you can make the most out of them.
]]>What’s that? Do I hear all those geeky guys asking: who needs ipod instructions?!?! I never used any.
Well, apparently, not all of us were born with an ipod manual inside our brain. So us, the “normal people” would appreciate some good ipod instructions. It’s common sense, isn’t it?

My friend Jane had her birthday 2 weeks ago. All she wanted was a gorgeous red ipod nano. She had no idea she would have to learn how to use iTunes as well! She doesn’t use the computer that often, and she took one look at the iTunes interface and just gave up.
She looked inside the ipod box for the ipod instructions. But you know what?
There are no good, simple, detailed ipod instructions that come with your new ipod!
You heard me right! No ipod instructions!
But don’t get discouraged. You can learn how to use an ipod by using ipod instructions, an ipod manual, ipod tutorial videos or other resources. There are easy ways to do it. Learning how to use your new ipod can make such a difference in how much you would love and enjoy your new cool ipod.
