Have you seen this pop-up menu?

It can pop-up at the Home screen, and just about anywhere (except in the music and the video players) at anytime you want it to. Let’s say you’re surfing in Safari and want to start listening to some grooves…, or you want to change track while calculating, or lower the volume while checking out your delicious spam, or whatever else you do on your iPod touch, you can quickly pop-up the special Play Menu. There’s absolutely no need to switch to the Music Player!

How to do it?

Double-press the Home button. Try it now.

Oh, there’s even a unique one for the Unlock Screen!

    What!? There’s a manual? Shame on me!

    Alright, I’ve found Apple’s Manual Page for all kinds of iPods… for those of us who don’t like to read hard copies. :)

  1. Thank you so much for your incredibly useful and helpful tips for the iPod Touch! I didn’t know about the pop-up menu, and it’s very useful, and I was delighted to find your tip on how to make TV shows appear. You have so much here that’s useful. Thank you. :)

    Lol now I can’t bring it up anymore. Infact I can’t even go back to the home menu… So I have to get by with the mini imitation-dock. But that doesn’t seem to work in music. I’ve tried resetting the settings, but don’t want to restore since I’m afraid that won’t help… Hmmm. Will have to ponder on this a while.
