Using iPod
Connecting and Disconnecting iPod
You connect iPod to your computer to transfer and manage music, and, in most cases,
to charge the battery.
•
If you have a Mac or if you have a Windows PC with a 6-pin FireWire port
, you can
connect iPod using the included iPod Dock Connector to FireWire cable.
•
If your computer has a high-power USB 2.0 port,
you can also connect using the
included iPod Dock Connector to USB 2.0 cable (see page 10 for illustrations and
more information).
To connect iPod to your computer:
n
Plug the appropriate cable in to a FireWire or high-power USB 2.0 port on your
computer, then connect the other end to iPod. Be sure to orient the connectors on the
cable correctly. Each connector can only be inserted one way.
n
Or, if you have an iPod Dock (see page 23), connect the appropriate cable to a FireWire
or high-power USB 2.0 port on your computer and connect the other end to the Dock.
Then put iPod in the Dock.
By default, iPod imports songs automatically when you connect it to your computer.
When this automatic transfer is done, you can disconnect iPod.
