OMG!!!!!! This website helped me so much! I just got my first iPod yesterday and this helped alot.
SallyAnne, USA

You are a genius, I thought I had downloaded iTunes 7... I didn't have to reset, everything came up as was on it when it crashed. I cannot thank you enough for not giving up, this one had sentimental value that you cannot believe and they do not make the black nanos anymore. I tried everything on the internet, and you are the only one that replied and kept at it until you solved the problem.
Thank you.

Wow Daniel! What a fantastic service. I really didn't expect such a prompt response, if at all. And thanks for your advice. I certainly will be downloading from the sites you have listed. We are bathing in summer heat here, whilst I guess you are sheltering from the approaching winter. As a student it is not unusual to work through the night and I must say, how fantastic it is to have music all night. And such excellent quality sound too. So thrilled to have iPod up and running!
Thanks again.

How To Use Your iPod As A Clock

How to use your iPod as a clock by Daniel Dwase…

If you need to keep track of date, time, set an alarm to go off at a particular time or even use a stopwatch look no further than your iPod. On your iPod you can even set multiple clocks for various time zones.

This means you don't have to start fumbling with your clock every time you move to a different time zone.

Time is only kept on the new generation iPods, those that come with a screen i.e iPod video and the iPod nano.

How to use your iPod as a Clock by Adding World Clocks or clocks for various time zones:

On Fifth/Sixth generation iPods and the latest iPod nanos you can have multiple clocks set for various cities around the world.

To add a clock follow the procedure below:

1. Select Extras > Clock > New Clock.

2. In the Region menu, choose a region from the list.

3. In the resulting City menu, choose a city that represents the clock you wish to add for that city.

The Clock menu now displays your new clock. If you decide to add more, repeat the above instructions; all subsequent clocks will appear in the Clock menu in the order in which you create them.

Follow the procedure below on how to use your iPod as a clock to set the date and time:

1. Select Extras > Clock > Date & Time. On Fifth/Sixth Generation iPods and iPod nanos choose Settings then choose Date & Time.

2. From the Date & Time menu, choose Set Time Zone, and then choose the appropriate region for your location.

3. Set the date and time by choosing Set Date & Time and in the resulting screen, scroll the Click Wheel to choose the current hour and then press the Next/Fast-forward button to move to the minutes increment. Continue in this manner to set AM or PM, and then the day, the month, and finally the year.

4. Select the Time from the Date & Time menu to toggle the selection to a 12-hour or 24-hour clock.

5. To make the time appear in the title bar... when enabled, the time appears in place of a menu name... choose Time In Title to toggle the display to On.

This short tutorial is how you use your iPod as a clock!
