3. To see which version of the iPod software you have on your iPod... Go to the "Settings" item selection in your iPod (on the same screen with "Music", "Extras", "Clock"...) select "Settings, then select "About". Usually towards the bottom of the screen, right above your "Model" and "S/N" you should see "Version", then on the right side of the screen you will see your iPod Software Version. If it is not one of the above versions (or later) you will need to update your iPod software for proper operation.

4. Very important! Do not rename or delete any of the files or folders in the iPod version as it could cause the guide to not function. Just install the guide on your iPod as it is and use it and enjoy it.

To read the guides
1. From the main menu of your iPod choose Extras.

2. From the Extras menu choose Notes

3. The first time you select the Notes folder after you install notes or make changes to the notes folder, the iPod will go through an initialization process. During this time you will see the message on your iPod “Notes Loading” and an increasing count. The iPod is counting the pages you have installed in your Notes folder. Allow this process to complete and your iPod is ready for you to read the Notes installed.

4. Choose the guide you want to read, WDW_ToGo_Full, WDW_ToGo_Menus, or WDW_ToGo_Live

5. You will see two items in each folder. Walt Disney World To Go, Walt Disney World Live Entertainment, or Menus of Walt Disney World. These are the opening pages you will also see an item titled “zguide, zlive, or zmenus”. These are the folders that contain the pages that make up the guides. You can open these pages, however I recommend that you open the entry page and follow the links presented.

6. To read any section just scroll to it using the scroll wheel, available links will show with a darker underline, just click (press your select button) to open it.

Note: The first time you select a link to open a specific page, it may take longer than you might expect. This is normal, it is just a process used by the iPod to open pages and keep track of pages you have opened.

If you’ve not read text on an iPod before, it is nice and easy, as you’d expect. In fact it will probably take you less time to work it out for yourself than it does to read these instructions, but just i case you like reading instructions...

Use the scroll wheel to scroll up and down the text. The iPod even supports simple linking, which we’ve taken advantage of in the Walt Disney World To Go guides. At the top of each section you’ll find links to its subsections. Links are shown as a subtle underline. The current link has a solid underline. To select the current link just click the select button, in the center of the click wheel. As you scroll through the text, the iPod automatically jumps to the next link, and it becomes the current link.

The menu button takes you up to the next level.

To Get back to the Notes Folder (close the guide and use other iPod functions), press and hold the “Menu” button for about 1/2 second and you will be presented with the main iPod menu list.

Help For iSilo and Plucker

In order to use the Walt Disney World To Go guides, you need a viewer application on your Palm OS device. Currently there are two that are usable with the Walt Disney World To Go guides. They are the commercial viewer (iSilo) and the open source (free) viewer (Plucker). The doc readers (iSilo and Plucker) are available at the following locations:

iSilo - http://www.isilo.com
Plucker - http://www.plkr.org
Be sure to get the proper version for your device and PDA OS.

The commercial version (iSilo) has better technical support, but you will pay $19.95 for a single user license. The Plucker version is a very good viewer, many of the registered users of the Walt Disney World To Go guides use the Plucker version (the price is right), but lots of folks also use the iSilo version. You should try both and decide which you like best.

Registered users can download the Plucker version from The (Walt Disney World To Go) Registered Users download page using the link and information presented in the email you received when you registered the guide.

Just follow the instructions to get to the download page, towards the bottom of the page are download links to download the Plucker viewer. For most Palm OS devices you need to download the Plucker v1.8 For Palm OS (hi-res version ) (just select the link “Download”). The hi-res version should work on most Palm OS devices. If you have an older Palm OS device running Palom OS 3.x or earlier, you might try Plucker version 1.2, also some devices are bettter with the non-hires version. If unsure, try the hi-res version first, if that wokrs OK, you’re good. If not then try the other versions. There is also some limited information about the Plucker version on the eGuidesToGo site at:

http://www.eguidestogo.com/eguide/help.html

If you want you can download the Plucker version directly from the Plucker web site at:

http://www.plkr.org/dl

On the right side of the page you will see the following text ---

Pucker 1.8 Viewer Package (viewer only, no distiller)
This package does NOT contain any distiller components. This ONLY contains the Plucker viewer application, and a sample User Guide in Plucker format.

Hires Plucker viewer, English only, no distiller components.
torrent for .zip
torrent for .bz2
zip / bzip2

Be sure to download the zip version not the torrent or bzip2 version. As another benefit to registered users, it is easier to just to download this viewer from the Registered Users Download page.

There is also a tour of the Plucker viewer on the Plucker site, this tour is for an older version, so there are some differences, but the major description is there, this is because it is community supported, it is usually done in spare time, but this is still an excellent viewer, just not as much support as for iSilo.
Anyway, read the tour to help with some understanding of Plucker at:


http://www2.parc.com/isl/members/janssen/pubs/plucker-tour/

Note: Plucker does not function from expansion cards. You must install Plucker (viewer_en.prc), the Zlib file (SysZLib.prc) and all Plucker documents (like Walt Disney World To Go) in main memory to work.

To Download the iSilo version go to the iSilo site and download iSilo version 4.28 for Palm OS at:


http://www.isilo.com/download/index.htm

iSilo™ 4.28 for Palm OS®: The iSilo™ document reader for Palm OS® handhelds.

http://www.isilo.com/download/iSiloPalmOS.htm

There is also an online manual for iSilo, should you decide to get the iSilo version, be sure to read the online manual at:

http://www.isilo.com/support/manual/iSilo/iSiloManual.htm

Remember, when you choose a viewer, you also need to download the appropriate version of the guides, (Plucker or iSilo) from the Registered Users Download Page.

After you have downloaded the viewer(s) and guides you want, you need to copy them to your Palm OS device. This usually involves a HotSync. During the HotSync setup, you will need to select the components (viewers and guides) you want to copy to your Palm OS device. The setup usually involves launching your Palm Desktop application (you got this with your Palm OS device, you may also be using it to synchronize your calendars and contact lists.

After you launch the Palm Desktop application you should see a menu that just says “HotSync”

There should be a menu option, “Install HandHeld Files...” From there you will be presented with a dialog box and you can browse your desktop (laptop) computer for the files you want to install.

Keep in mind, you MUST have a viewer to see the document (Walt Disney World To Go guide) files, these files are only visible using the viewer (Plucker or iSilo).

After you install the application(s) (Plucker and/or iSilo) and the guide files you should then access them using your Palm OS device, be sure to read the viewer manuals to become familiar with usage.

Additional Help for iSilo with PocketPC

How can I copy files from my Windows® PC computer to the "\My Documents\iSilo" directory of my Pocket PC device?

If the "Pocket_PC My Documents" directory does not exist on your Windows® PC desktop, then you need to enable ActiveSync®'s File synchronization option. Do this:

1. On your Windows® PC, start ActiveSync® by double-clicking the ActiveSync® icon in the icon tray in the lower right of the task bar.
2. In the Tools menu, click Options.
3. Check the Files - Synchronized Files icon.
4. Click OK.

The "Pocket_PC My Documents" directory should then be created on your desktop. You can then open the directory, create the "iSilo" directory within it, and then copy your documents to that directory.
