Storing and reading notes with your iPod

To put text files onto iPod, it must first be enabled as a hard disk (see Using your iPod as a hard disk).

1. Save a document in any word-processing application as a text (.txt) file.
2. In the Macintosh Finder or in Windows Explorer, drag the file in the Notes folder on iPod.
   
   

Tip: Every word processor has a different way to save a text (sometimes known as ASCII or plain text) file. Check the manual or online help for your word processor. The example pictures below are for TextEdit in Mac OS X and WordPad in Windows XP.



In TextEdit: From the Format menu, choose Make Plain Text and then save the document.




In WordPad: On the File menu, click Save As. Then from the Save as type menu, click Text Document and then save the document.

The Notes feature is available on iPods that have a dock connector. This includes iPod mini, iPod (with Dock Connector), and iPod (Click Wheel) models.
