Customizing the Main Menu Screen of Your iPod Nano 5G: Part 2/2

This the second and last part of my post yesterday. Go and get informed with this post and feel free to comment in any of my posts.

The same playback settings menu includes a volume limit feature to prevent you or your children from turning the iPod Nano up too loud.

Annoyed to find your music playback shuffled every time the Nano gets jostled? Apple's "shake-to-shuffle" feature is fun at first, but can become tiresome after a few misfires. You can turn the feature off using the playback settings menu.

Under general settings, you can enable a large font option to make menus easier to read on the Nano's relatively small screen.

Another feature that wears thin after a while is the Cover Flow view that appears when you turn the Nano on its side. If you'd rather that your screen not rotate every time the Nano is held sideways, use the general settings menu to deactivate the feature.

WOW! This really something that can help beginner users of iPod Nano 5G to start with.

Customizing the Main Menu Screen of Your iPod Nano 5G: Part 1/2

OK, so now you know how to manage your iPod Nano in iTunes. Let's also look at some ways you can personalise the Nano using settings on the device itself.

One thing a lot of users miss is the ability to customize the main menu screen.

Let's say you're really into TV shows and dislike having to click around to find them. If you dive into the settings menu and select General and Main Menu, you'll find a list of media options you can add or remove from the main menu.

We also recommend browsing and previewing the selection of EQ presets in the playback section of the settings menu to help make the most of the iPod's sound quality.

I try to post the whole information from cnet.com, but I think this could be annoying for reader to look for long image after image with simple steps on customizing your iPod Nano 5G image. If you think not, you can still go to cnet.com.au.

How to Set-Up an iPod Nano: Fifth Step

The Photos and Contacts tabs are the only two sections that don't reference media contained within iTunes. Depending on whether you're on a Mac or PC, the Contacts tab (a rarely used feature) will allow you to pull data from whatever preferred contact and calendar programs you have on your computer.

For photos (shown here), users have the option to sync entire folders of images stored on your computer, or select specific sub-folders within larger collections. Users also have the option of importing videos from these folders or transferring high-resolution versions of the photos for playback on a connected television (accessory required).

This is another optional step, we can instead use our mobile phone to manage your contact. But this was just another great feature from iPod Nano 5G.

How to Set-Up an iPod Nano: Fourth Step

On the top edge of the window you'll find a selection of tabs for your iPod, including the current summary page, music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, iTunes U, photos, contacts and games. In each of these tabs you get to decide what media from your iTunes collection gets transferred to your Nano.

For instance in the music tab, you can decide to sync your entire music library, or just the specific playlists, artists and genres listed below. When you're happy with the selections, hit the apply button in the bottom right corner and iTunes will start moving your music over to the Nano.

I think this is optional, this is just another way to manage your file.

How to Set-Up iPod Nano: Third Step

Now we come to the iPod summary panel. You can see the name and model of your iPod here, along with options for how the iPod syncs media from iTunes and another section for voice features.

The big thing to note here is that if you check the "manually manage music and videos" box, iTunes will no longer push music and video onto your iPod automatically. Instead, you'll need to drag selections and playlists from your library and onto the player's icon. Some people like the precise control that manual management gives them, but most users tend to leave this unchecked and let the iPod do its thing automatically.

Nice, managing your files is about doing your own thing your just letting iPod do its own thing.

How to Set-Up Your iPod Nano: Second Step

Next, connect your Nano using the included cable to one of your computer's USB ports. If iTunes isn't already open, connecting the iPod should launch the program and kick you into a set-up assistant.

Here's where you can name your iPod and designate whether you want the iPod to automatically sync your music and photo collections. Checking these is the right way to go if you have a modest-size media collection and you want the easiest way to just load up and go.

Leaving the boxes unchecked means that you'll need to manually select what music or photos get added later on. Either way, don't think too hard about this because you can always go back and change your selection down the road.

On the Nano, you also have an option called VoiceOver, where the iPod can speak the currently playing song and artist to you in a synthetic voice when you press and hold the headphone clicker. If it's not a feature that attracted you to the Nano to begin with, we say leave it checked off to save some set-up time. Again, you can always go back later and enable the feature if you want it, so right now just go with your gut and check it on or off.
