SD card

A MicroSD card is a small, portable memory device that is designed to either function with wireless phones that use a MicroSD card port, or larger devices such as digital cameras that have a standard SD card slot. Because the card is nothing more than a memory unit you can copy data to the card, including music from your iTunes media player.

Step 1

Connect the SD card reader to your computer. Insert the USB cable running out the back of the card reader into a USB port on your computer. You can purchase such a device at most computer and electronic stores.
