iPod Touch Help Needed

[purplecat41877]

I bought an iPod touch, which I'm really enjoying. What I need help on is how to highlight, minimize/maximize, and switching between tasks without going to the home menu each time.

Also, this iPod touch is able to take pictures. How would I get the pictures into my profile & social groups albums.

Ok... to highlight, hold down your finger on whatever bit of text you want to highlight. When the magnification thinger appears, release, then choose "Select" from the popup menu.

EDIT: To switch between currently open apps... Double-tap on the Home Button (that's the round one at the bottom, on the face of the device).

As for uploading pictures to the intenret, you will need an App from one of the big picture uploading sites. For example, Photobucket has an iDevice app that will let you upload photos (aval. in the App Store).

If the photos are ones you've taken with your iPods camera, they'll be listed under the "camera roll" folder on your iPod. To access these just plug your iPod into your pc.

Goto "my computer"
Your iPod will be listed as an extra drive. Double click.
I can't remember the correct names of the folders that appear (if no-ones provided the names I'll update when I get home). But there is only 1 or 2.

Just browse these and you'll find your photos that you've taken. You can just copy these to any location you like, just as with normal files.

Pics stored in other folders on your iPod can't be copied the same way unfortunately.

Thanks, I've gotten that hang of switching between tasks and uploading music which I do on the laptop and then the music goes on the iPod touch. Also, I got the Photobucket app and any pictures I plan to post will be done directly from the iPod.
