TopXNotes Features and Preferences

    To use TopXNotes Version first do the following:

    1. Be sure your iPod is plugged in before you launch TopXNotes Version

    2. Be sure the features you want enabled are checked in the the new the iPod Preferences tab (see below).

    TopXNotes Version is very similar to TopXNotes but adds features specifically designed for the iPod. These features all are available only if TopXNotes Version finds an iPod connected when it is launched. Then if the features are checked in the new the iPod Preferences tab they will be available. Those features are:

    • iPod Preferences tab-- to customize your iPod related features
    • Export notes to iPod (automatic and manual modes)-- If you choose to export notes to iPod all notes that have their category set to “iPod Note” will be exported to the iPod notes folder along with the groups heirarchy.
    • Auto put notes on window close-- automatically put (export) your iPod notes on window close
    • Sync data file via iPod-- put your entire TopXNotes file on your iPod and carry it with you
    • iPod note size warning-- the iPod only handles notes up to 400 K. This warning helps you make notes conform to iPod limits
    • Export Notes to iPod-- If you choose to export notes to iPod all notes that have their category set to “iPod Note” will be exported to the iPod's Notes folder along with the Groups heirarchy. So an iPod note in a group will be in the same group on your iPod.

    To make any note an iPod note, just select it in the category menu below the note as shown below:

    Then just choose Export iPod Notes from the File Menu (or press the button with the iPod icon) in the lower toolbar, and all notes that have their category set to “iPod Note” will be exported to the iPod Notes folder along with the note's group, if it is in a group. An iPod note in a Group will be in the same Group on your iPod. You can export your entire Group heirarchy if you wish by designating one note in each group an iPod note.

    After Export of your iPod Notes to your iPod, your iPod notes can be found in the Notes folder on the iPod, in the same order as they were on your Mac, as shown below.
