Installation Instructions for iPod/media player using iTunes
For PC Users:
BEFORE YOU BEGIN: If you do not have iTunes installed on your PC, download and install the free software from itunes.com.
Right-click on the VergilCards.zip file you downloaded and extract the files to your “iTunes Photos” directory on your PC. This directory is normally found in your “My Documents” folder.
NOTE: If you do not have an “iTunes Photos” directory, you will need to create one.
Open the “My Documents” folder. Right-click inside the folder and choose “New” and then “Folder”. Name the folder “iTunes Photos” (without the quotes).
Once the files are extracted to your PC, connect your iPod/media player to your computer. Your device will sync with iTunes and will upload the vocabulary cards.
Depending on the speed of your connection and other data that you might be synching, the upload may take approximately five minutes.
NOTE: Download times will vary if you have an older computer or a dial-up Internet connection.
When the photos have finished uploading, iTunes will display a “sync complete” message.

Depending on the speed of your connection and other data that you might be synching, the upload may take approximately five minutes.
When the photos have finished uploading, iTunes will display a “sync complete” message.
How to Use the Vocabulary Cards on your iPod/media player
Once your vocabulary cards are uploaded to your iPod/media player, you can view them on a by-frequency basis.
From the menu, use your Click Wheel to select “Photos”.
Select the cards grouped by frequency that you would like to review.
When the cards appear, click the center button to begin your review.
Use your Next/Fast-forward or Previous/Rewind buttons to move between the cards.
When you have finished viewing the cards for a specific frequency of usage, press the Menu button twice to return to the list of Vergil cards.
NOTE: For iPod users, customize how you view the cards by using your iPod’s Settings feature to select time-per-slide (card) and repeat (on or off). If you are using a device other than an iPod, consult its user’s manual for instructions on configuring slide-show settings.
Installation Instructions for Mobile Phones
If your mobile phone has the ability to display pictures, you may choose to upload your vocabulary cards to it. As many mobile phones and carriers use different software to connect your computer to your phone for uploading and downloading media, please consult your carrier for detailed instructions on how to upload photos to your phone.
