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!

1. How to download and install iTunes?
2. How to buy (or get for free!) music and videos and organize them?
3. How to sync your stuff from the computer to the ipod?
4. How to work with your ipod: controls, menus, settings…
5. Basic troubleshooting: what to do when things just don’t work!
Now obviously there are a million other things you can find in an apple nano ipod instruction manual. But THINK – what do you really want? Start using your new ipod NOW! So what you need to start with is exactly that list of 5 bullets.
A great way to do that is actually watching how to do it, like the ipod nano video guides. It’s the instruction manual that cover everything you need to know in order to start using your new ipod today.
]]>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.
]]>When talking about the different ipod models out there, the write, Jay Dougherty, encourages people who are thinking about buying an ipod, to go to an apple store, and get a real feeling (in your hand!) of the different ipods. That’s a very good idea, cause it’s exactly what you are going to do with your ipod.
But to the question: “I jog, which ipod should I use?” Dougherty forgets the perfect ipod for that kind of exercise. The ipod shuffle! It’s the smallest, very light, and plays music, which is the only think you need. It’s not like you are going to watch videos while you jog!
You can check out the full article. And I’ll be happy to hear if you found it useful.

I think a lot of people, who are not custom to work with computers, are quite surprised by the fact that they need itunes in order to manage their ipod. Thus making how to use itunes a critical issue for them. And lets face it: itunes is not an easy software for everyone.
Don’t take my word for it. I’ve googled “itunes” and “difficult to use” and got 73,700 answers! It is truly a common problem shared by a lot of people. This guy on yahoo answers was telling he couldn’t find an easy way to mark more than one song to be played in a row. Wouldn’t you expect this to one of the more easiest tasks?!?! something like how to use itunes in the most basic way?
The sad thing is that some people won’t ask how to use itunes, they’ll just give up! And that’s just a shame. All these people need are some good quality, super organized and detailed ipod instructions. The kind “normal-and-not-high-tech” people would understand. That would make a world of a difference between owning anipod and actually using and enjoying it.
]]>This is especially true when it comes to music. On the 80GB ipod classic you can store 20,000 songs. On the 160GB ipod classic you can store 40,000. You don’t need no ipod classic instructions to realize we are talking about approx 3000 albums!
How many albums do you own??!!? How many albums do you think you will own until the rest of your life?
And even with videos it is still amazing: up to 200 hours on the 160GB ipod classic, which means around 80 movies. That’s a movie every 4.5 days for a whole year.
And check out this helpful screen right out of your typical ipod classic instructions guide. With a single glance you know exactly where you stand. How much storage is already used, and how much is free. And as I said before, it will take you a long time until the free bar will get smaller!

You can watch videos
Previous models of ipod nano couldn’t only play music, so this is a big improvement. With a 2 inch display, the 8GB ipod nano can hold up to 8 hours of videos.
Enhaced interface
The new operating systems comes with the split-screen menus, and of course the famous cover flow. All the ipod nano beginners out there should rest a sure their ipod nano manual will cover the cover flow with great detail. It is very cool!
Redesigned look
Would you believe the new ipod nano is only 6.5mm thin? And its full aluminum cover and stainless steel polish gives it such a slick look!
There is no doubt the new ipod nano is a great combination for who ever wants to combine a very small device with still powerful capabilities. However since operating these new features is not always easy for new ipod users, more people are likely to search for a good and detailed ipod nano manual.
]]>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.
