54 Using iPod
To update calendars, click Calendars, click “Synchronize iCal calendars,” and select an
option:
If you are using Windows, or you don’t want to use iSync to import your contacts or
calendar information, you can manually transfer information to iPod. iPod must be
enabled as a hard disk (see “Using iPod as an External Hard Disk” on page 50).
To import contact information manually:
1 Connect iPod and open your favorite email or contacts application. Importing contacts
works with Palm Desktop, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Entourage, and Eudora, among
others.
2 Drag contacts from the application’s address book to the iPod Contacts folder.
In some cases you may need to export contacts, then drag the exported file or files to
the iPod Contacts folder. See the documentation for your email or contacts application.
To import appointments and other calendar events manually:
1 Export calendar events from any calendar application that uses the standard iCalendar
format (filenames end in .ics) or vCal format (filenames end in .vcs).
