Resolution

When you view a long note on your iPod, it will be truncated (automatically shortened). To see all of the contents of a long note, just break it up into files that are smaller than 4 KB, then copy them to the Notes folder on your iPod.

The Notes feature is available on iPod models with a dock connector including:

  • iPod mini
  • iPod with color display (iPod photo)
  • iPod (Click Wheel)
  • iPod (with Dock Connector)
  • iPod nano
  • iPod with video
