Synchronizing Contacts, Calendars, and To-Do Lists
Your iPod can store contacts, calendar events, and to-do lists for viewing on the go.
If you’re using Mac OS X v10.4 or later, you can use iTunes to synchronize your Address
Book contacts and iCal calendar information with iPod. If you’re using any version of
Mac OS X earlier than 10.4, you can use iSync to synchronize your information.
Synchronizing information using iSync requires iSync 1.1 or later, and iCal 1.0.1 or later.
If you are using Windows 2000 or Windows XP, and you use Outlook Express or
Microsoft Outlook 2003 or later to store your contact information, you can use iTunes
to synchronize contacts with iPod. If you use Microsoft Outlook 2003 or later to keep a
calendar, you can also synchronize calendar information.
To synchronize contact or calendar information (using Mac OS X v10.4 or later):
1 Connect iPod to your computer.
2 In iTunes, select iPod in the Source list and click the Options button.

and select an option:

selected groups only” and check the boxes next to the groups you want to update
When you click OK, iTunes updates the iPod with the Address Book contact
information you specified. If contacts include pictures, the pictures are copied to
iPod. When you view a contact on iPod, you see the picture.

select an option:
 To synchronize all calendars automatically, select “Synchronize all calendars.”
