 Great help for Ipod dummies January 27, 2007

Two weeks ago I did not even know for sure what an Ipod was and only a vague idea of what an MP3 player was. I have never owned anything made by Apple. Today I am the proud owner of an Ipod Nano and believe that much of my happiness with it is due to this book. I read up on the Ipod first before I tried using it. It got me up and running without a hitch and has plenty of information to help me get more and more sophisticated as I go!
This book is a wealth of Ipod information for those of us who are clueless!! I highly recommend it!

Being relatively new to the iPod and ITunes world I was a bit intimidated by the overwhelming amount of options out there just for music, much less for all the other incredible things that an iPod can do. So when an opportunity came to review "iPod and iTunes for Dummies" I jumped at it.
I was pleasantly surprised as I scanned the book. It was laid out very well for a reference book. The eight-page table of contents is easy and straightforward to negotiate. It is broken down into six parts including an introduction with a short synopsis of each part. The parts include set-up and acquisition of media, managing the media, playing the iPod, advanced techniques, traveling with the iPod, and of course problem solving. The index is also user friendly. A problem I often have with other computer reference books is trying to figure out the right words to identify the problem I am trying to resolve. I did not have that problem with this book. Both the table of contents and the index are easy to use. It was refreshing to say the least.
The book not only is well organized, but it is well written. Great cartoons introduce each new part and the writing style is informative, light and often humorous. In fact, I actually found myself reading some chapters just for pleasure.
This is an invaluable reference book for the beginner and advanced beginner to the iPod and ITunes. It opens up a whole new world of opportunities to music, pictures, videos, pod casts, and audio books. Organizing all these data is also critical to really enjoying the IPod and iTunes. Part II, Managing Your Media Content, covers it all from adding, editing, and deleting to updating and backing up.
The iPod is an incredible. Part V was a real eye opener for me. I had no idea of all the extras an iPod can do. Clock, alarms, games, voice recording, contact lists, and even a hard drive are things your iPod can and will do for you. These are certainly handy features when traveling or to just reduce the amount of files and papers carried around during every day business.
One thing that was useful for me was that the iPod discharges battery power whether or not it is in use. This was very perplexing to me and I thought mine was defective. However, I come to find out with the help of this book that it is OK and normal. A relief to say the least and I have the book to thank for my peace of mind.
"iPod and iTunes for Dummies" is a must have reference book for new and beginning users of iPods. It is pertinent for both Mac and PC users and will make your iPod time much more enjoyable and productive.

Excellent source for help in setting up my new iPod, which I knew nothing about except from my son. The book was easy to navigate and answered my questions without a lot of searching through information to get to them.

I've been grooving out on iTunes ever since they made the service available to us pathetic Windows drones. I was a little bummed when I realized that all the music I've downloaded will only play on an iPod, not any other mp3 player. But, since I've checked out this books, I've realized that's OK. Reading this book encouraged me to go for it and get the iPod. The iPod is a great system, with wonderful functionality. And even though it seems really easy to use (it is) there are a lot of things you can do with an iPod that you might not realize until you read this book. From choosing the right iPod, to cataloguing downloaded music and music from your CD collection, to the right way to get through the menus of inof, this is the book you need! Dummies also wrote a book on iLife, so if you're a real Mac user, and want info on iPhoto, etc, check out that book!
