Moving Calendar Information to an iPod Using iSync and iCal (Mac)

Synchronizing your iCal calendar on your iPod is very straightforward, and you can even configure this to happen each time you connect your iPod to your Mac. Follow these steps:

1. Connect your iPod to your Mac and open the iSync application.
2. If you have never used iSync to synchronize your iPod before, choose Devices, Add Device.
3. Click the Scan button. You will see the iPod in the window.
4. Double-click the iPod’s icon, and the iSync options dialog box will appear
5. Check the Turn on ipodname synchronization check box, where ipodname is the name of your iPod.
6. Check the Automatically synchronize when iPod is connected check box.
7. Check the Contacts check box and choose the specific contacts you want to move to your iPod on the Synchronize menu. For example, to have all your contacts synchronized, choose All contacts. If you want only a specific group of contacts to be moved, select that group instead.
8. Check the Calendars check box and choose the calendars you want to be moved to your iPod. Choose all your calendars by clicking the All radio button or choose specific calendars by clicking the Selected radio button and then checking the check box next to each calendar you want to place on your iPod.
9. Click the Sync Now button. The information you selected will be moved onto your iPod.

You only need to do these steps the first time you synch your iPod with iCal and your Address Book. If you configure automatic synchronization, this information will be updated each time you connect your iPod to your Mac.
