Synchronizing Contacts, Calendars, and To-Do Lists

Your iPod nano 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 nano. 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.
