Using iPod mini

Note:  
 
If your computer doesn’t have a USB 2.0 port but has a FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394) 
port, you can use an iPod Dock Connector to FireWire Cable (available for purchase at 
www.ipod.com/store).
By default, iPod mini imports songs automatically when you connect it to your 
computer. When this automatic transfer is done, you can disconnect iPod mini.
If you connect iPod mini to a different computer and it is set to transfer songs 
automatically, iTunes prompts you before transferring any music.
 
Disconnecting iPod mini
 
You shouldn’t disconnect iPod mini while music is being transferred. You can easily see 
if it’s OK to disconnect iPod mini by looking at the screen.
If you set iPod mini to transfer songs manually (see page 27) or enable iPod mini for 
use as a hard disk (see page 36), you must eject iPod mini before disconnecting it.
If you see the main menu or 
a large battery icon, you can 
disconnect iPod mini from 
your computer.
If you see this message, 
you must eject iPod mini 
before disconnecting it 
from your computer.
