In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Although different tick species have different characteristics, most ticks have an oval-shaped body with a small head. They're usually reddish brown, dark brown, black, or grey in color. Ticks are generally no bigger than 1/4 inch long and some species may be much smaller. Note that fully fed females can dramatically swell up to 1/2 inch in size when they're full of blood. Unlike fleas, ticks aren't insects. They're arachnids, like spiders, so the adults have 8 legs. The younger or smallest ticks (larvae) have 6 legs. Ticks can't jump or fly, so they crawl onto the host's body. When the tick bites your cat, it will stay firmly attached until it's done feeding. You won't be able to see the tick's head while it's feeding, which might make it hard to tell if you're looking at a tick or dark skin growth. To tell the difference, look for the tick's legs. Ticks also tend to accumulate in warm, protected areas of the body, like between the paw pads, in the ears, and armpits. However, they can be found anywhere on your cat’s body.  If you are not sure whether the insect is a tick, you can place it in a completely sealed plastic bag and bring it to your cat’s veterinarian. Check your cat closely if she's been outside or somewhere where she may have been exposed to ticks (tall grassy fields, barns, farm, etc). If you notice a tick on your cat, make sure that the object is in fact a tick. Look for the legs to be sure it's a tick and not just growth on your cat's skin. If it is a tick, put on gloves and grasp the tick with fine-tipped tweezers, as close to the skin as possible. Pull back slowly, taking care not to twist your hand. You need to remove the tick's head along with the body. If not, the head could cause infection. Put the tick into a small container filled with rubbing alcohol to kill and preserve it, in case you want to show it to the vet. You should check your cat every day from head to tail for ticks if there's a tick infestation or your cat's been exploring areas where ticks live (like tall grassy fields). The vet will make sure that you choose a safe and effective product. You should also purchase tick treatments directly from your vet, since some of the medications sold at pet stores can be dangerous for cats. Topical "spot-on" treatments are available to treat fleas and ticks, while there are no oral products for treating ticks. Let the vet know if there are any small children or pregnant women in the home. This is an important factor in determining the safest course of medication for both you and your pet. You may have several options when it comes to choosing a topical tick treatment. Many of these monthly treatments should be used year round as a preventative treatment. Make sure that the product you choose is labeled for cats and not dogs. Cats can get very sick (or even die) if they are treated with a tick medication that is meant for dogs. Some common tick medications include:  Fipronil and (S)-methoprene (known as Frontline Plus for Cats): Apply this once a month to kill the larvae, eggs, and adult fleas. It also kills ticks and chewing lice.  Selamectin (known as Revolution): Apply this once a month to kill adult fleas and their eggs. It may also kill ticks, heartworms, ear mites, and sarcoptic mites, but it is not licensed as a product to kill ticks. It only has partial success with some ticks, and it not effective against Ixodes, which is the species that carries Lyme disease. Generally, you'll need to hold the applicator upright to keep it from spilling and open it according to the instructions. Spread the fur on your cat's neck (at the base of the skull or between the shoulder blades) to expose the skin. This way, your cat won't be able to lick the medication off when grooming. Turn the applicator upside down and squeeze all of the medication into a single spot directly on the skin. Make sure to get it on the skin and not just the fur. Check the applicator to make sure it's empty. Always read the product label for complete instructions, since they are different for each medication. Your vet may be able to recommend other options to keep ticks off your cat. One popular option is the Seresto collar, manufactured by Bayer. This collar can be used on kittens older than 10 weeks and adult cats. It repels and kills ticks for up to 8 months. Other brands of tick collar exist. You should consult with your veterinarian to see what is recommended for your cat.
Summary: Learn what ticks look like. Look for signs of ticks on your cat. Properly remove ticks. Talk with the veterinarian about tick medications. Choose a spot-on medication. Correctly apply the spot-on medication. Ask your vet about other tick control options.

Problem: Article: New iPod Touches will come with a partial charge, which will be enough to get you up and running. If you purchased your iPod Touch from someone else instead of a store, you may need to charge it before you can use it. When you first power on the iPod, you will be greeted by the "Hello" screen. Swipe this screen from left to right to begin the setup process. If your iPod is secondhand and you want to start the setup process from the beginning, tap Settings → General → Reset, and then tap "Erase All Content and Settings". The next time the iPod Touch is turned on, the initial setup assistant will begin. The first settings you will need to choose are your language and location. Choose your primary language, as this is what the iPod's interface will be displayed. If you travel a lot, choose your home country as your location, as this is what your iTunes store is based on. You will be asked to connect to a wireless network during the setup process so that the iPod can connect to Apple's servers. You will be provided a list of available networks. Choose yours and enter in the password. If you can't connect to a wireless network, you will need to plug your iPod into a computer and continue the setup process through iTunes. After you connect to a wireless network, you will be given the option to restore your settings from an old backup or set up your iPod as a new device. If you are transferring your settings from another device, select whether the backup is located on your computer or on iCloud. If you don't have a previous backup, tap the "Set Up as New iPod" button.  If you are restoring from an iCloud backup, it will be downloaded and installed automatically. If you are restoring from an iTunes backup, tap the button and then connect your iPod to your computer. Finish the backup restore process through the iTunes program. Your Apple ID is what you use to log in with all of your Apple devices. It gives you access to iCloud, and allows you to make purchases from the iTunes and App Stores. If you don't have an Apple ID yet, you can tap the button to create a new one. You can enable iCloud functionality for your iPod, which will allow you to backup your apps and settings to the cloud. This will allow you to restore your iPod quickly if something ever goes wrong. There are a variety of other benefits for using iCloud, including accessing documents stored in the cloud, re-downloading iTunes purchases, and using the iTunes Match service (if you signed up for it). Since iCloud is free, it is usually recommended that you enable it, even if you don't think you'll be using most of the features. Newer iPod Touches have Siri capability, which is the voice-command feature on iOS. You can choose whether or not you want to use it, but enabling it won't interfere with the normal functioning of the iPod.
Summary:
Power it on. Start the Setup process. Choose your language and location. Connect to a wireless network. Decide between restoring an old backup or setting up the iPod as new. Log in with your Apple ID. Choose whether or not to use iCloud. Enable or disable Siri.
