Introduction to iPod Calendar Sync

Did you know that the iPod can also be used like a PDA - to hold your address book and calendar?

If you use Apple’s iCal calendar program or Address Book application on the Mac, or Microsoft’s Outlook or Outlook Express on Windows, each time you sync your music, you can also update your contacts and calendars.

It’s simple (these instruction assume you're using iTunes 7 or higher).

Start by syncing your iPod with your computer.
