1.1 About the Application

Nero Mobile Sync desktop application is a services platform for the new generation of mobile
phones. Nero Mobile Sync lets you conveniently play back your music files, plus manage
and create playlists. You can play back your photos and videos right on your PC with all the
convenience of a built-in player. Nero Mobile Sync also allows you to create your own album
collections for photos and videos. You can preview all your collections within a slide show
mode.

Nero Mobile Sync automatically downsizes videos to clips that need only a fraction of the
storage space, to a video resolution that is dedicated to viewing on a handset and also trans­codes them to a format your handset supports. You do not need to worry about file format,
codecs and video resolution.

By taking the advantage of the iTunes library integration, you can also play back your iTunes
playlists and manage your media contents without running two applications together.

In addition, Nero Mobile Sync conveniently saves all important device data in a backup and
restores it to your SD card.

1.2 Versions of the Application

Nero Mobile Sync is available in various versions that differ in a more or less broad
functional range. Thereby, the feature limitations of your single version depend on the co­contractor's choice.

single functions may be limited or not available in your individual version of the program.

1.3 Working with the Program

Nero Mobile Sync allows you to browse and share your data with remote computers in the

Click the Skip button in the lower right of the welcome screen to directly display the main
browsing screen with navigation tree on the left. The navigation tree provides access to the
three major media libraries, locally attached devices, network PCs as well as albums and
playlists you are creating in Nero Mobile Sync.

To actually start working with Nero Mobile Sync, you have to show the application where

Mobile Sync offers to remove the listing from the library.

In addition, files can be imported to your media libraries from mobile devices and the network
PCs connected to your local computer. It is also possible to rip single tracks or a whole
album from Audio CD. All media files that are imported to the Nero Mobile Sync library will

2 Music Browsing

In the music browsing screen you can browse the items of your Music library group. An
overview is displayed when you choose the Music library entry in the navigation tree on the
left.

The overview is the entry point into the detailed browsing view. By default, your music is
sorted by album. Content can be arranged by different sorting criteria such as by Genre or
Folder. Each stack then shows information about the amount of albums included.

With a double-click on any stack you can switch into the detailed browsing view. Only the
albums of the chosen stack are displayed, the stack works like a filter. The detailed browsing
view is displayed with focus on the first item. All other items of the selected stack are listed
below, a scrollbar on the right screen margin enables you to scroll the detailed browsing
view.

Double-clicking a single item in the detailed browsing view starts its playback. Playback
controls are displayed on the lower task bar. Switching to another screen will not stop the
playback. A small display in the lower left corner of the main window stays visible and shows
the title and play back time. You can click this display to get back to the music browsing
screen.

If you hover the mouse pointer over a stack in the overview, a check box is displayed in its
upper left corner. In the detailed browsing view, the check box is listed in the rightmost table
column. Activate the check box to select the item. This way, you can make a selection.
Album covers also work as selector. If you click the cover art all album items will be marked
as selected. With a click on another item (clicking the thumbnail itself instead of the check
box) the previous selection will be removed and you can start a new sample. A preselection
may be useful if you want to create a playlist of selective tracks.
