Importing Addresses, Phone Numbers, Calendar Events, and To-Do Lists
Your iPod mini can store contacts, calendar events, and to-do lists for viewing on the go.

To import all information using a Mac and iSync (using Mac OS X v10. 3. 9 or earlier): 1 Connect iPod mini to your computer. You only need to do this step the first time you use iSync with your iPod mini. iSync transfers information from iCal and Mac OS X Address Book to your iPod mini.

You can't use iSync to transfer information from your iPod mini to your computer. If you are using Mac OS X v10. 4 or later, you can use iTunes to synchronize your Address Book contacts and iCal calendar information.
