Setting Up iPod nano

Before you can use iPod nano, you must set it up in iTunes. During setup, you can 
create an iTunes Store account or specify an existing account. (The iTunes Store may 
not be available in all countries or regions.) iTunes also displays and records the serial 
number of your iPod nano when it’s connected, in case you need it.

  Download and install the latest version of iTunes from www.itunes.com/download.

  Connect iPod nano to a high-power USB 2.0 port on your Mac or PC, using the cable 

that came with iPod nano.

  Follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to register iPod nano and sync iPod nano 

with songs from your iTunes library.
If you need help using the iPod nano Setup Assistant, see “To set up iTunes syncing the 
first time:” on page 21.
When iPod nano is syncing with your computer, iPod nano shows “Sync in Progress.” 
When syncing is complete, iTunes shows “iPod sync is complete.” For information 
about syncing, see Chapter 4, “Syncing with iTunes,” on page 21.

  Leave iPod nano connected to your computer for up to three hours, to fully charge  

the battery.
You can disconnect iPod nano before the battery is fully charged, and you can sync 
while the battery charges. For more information, see “About the Battery” on page 16.

  Disconnect the cable from iPod nano when you’re ready to use it.

Don’t disconnect iPod nano if you see the “Connected” or “Synchronizing” message. To 
avoid damaging files on iPod nano, you must eject iPod nano before disconnecting 
when you see these messages.
For more information about safely disconnecting iPod nano, see “Disconnecting 
iPod nano from Your Computer” on page 15.
