How do I send to my iPod?
You must have a 2nd generation or newer iPod. To export documents to your iPod, you must first enable "Firewire disk mode." To do this, connect your iPod to your Mac, then open iTunes. Click on the iPod Options icon on the bottom of the iTunes window:

Then check "Enable Firewire disk use."

From this point on, xPad will automatically discover your iPod when it's attached to your Mac and you'll be able to send documents to it.

To send a document (or multiple) to your iPod, simply select the document(s) you wish to send and click the "Documents" menu at the top of your screen, then the "Send to [your iPod's name]" item.

You can also use the document drawer's context menu to send documents to your iPod by control- or right-clicking on a document or a selection of several documents and clicking the "Send to [your iPod's name]" item.

The documents will be sent to your iPod's notes section (in plain text). If documents already exist in the notes section with identical filenames, xPad will overwrite those files. You can view these documents on your iPod by ejecting your iPod, and selecting the Extras » Notes section.

To remove a document from your iPod, you'll need to manually remove it (unfortunately, there is no efficient way to do this from xPad). To do this, simple open your iPod by double-clicking it's icon on the desktop, and browse to the Notes folder. Then trash any document you wish to remove.
