Setting Up iPod to Play Music
To set up iPod, you charge the battery, install software from the iPod CD, and import songs from your music CD collection to your computer. Then you transfer the songs to iPod and start listening to music. Step 1: Charge the Battery Connect iPod to the iPod Power Adapter using the iPod Dock Connector to FireWire Cable. The built-in battery is 80-percent charged in about two hours, and fully charged in about four hours.
LL0200_Q21UG.book Page 9 Wednesday, June 30, 2004 5:02 PM
Step 2: Install the Software Insert the iPod CD into your computer and install iTunes and the iPod software. Step 3: Import Music to Your Computer Complete this step if you havent already transferred music to your computer. You can import music from your audio CDs, or if you have an Internet connection, you can buy music online and download it to your computer using the iTunes Music Store. You can browse hundreds of thousands of songs and listen to a 30-second preview of any song. The iTunes Music Store is available in some countries only. To import music to your computer from an audio CD: 1 Insert a CD into your computer. iTunes opens automatically and the CD is selected in the iTunes Source list. 2 Uncheck songs you dont want to transfer, then click Import. 3 Repeat for any other CDs with songs youd like to import. To buy music online: 1 Open iTunes and click Music Store in the Source list. 2 Click the Account button and follow the onscreen instructions to set up an account or enter your existing Apple Account or America Online (AOL) account information. For an in-depth tutorial on transferring music to and playing music on iPod, see the iPod Tutorial on the iPod CD.

LL0200_Q21UG.book Page 10 Wednesday, June 30, 2004 5:02 PM
Step 4: Connect iPod and Transfer Music Connect iPod to your computer using one of the two included cables. Be sure the connectors on both ends of the cable are oriented correctly. They can only be inserted one way. If you have a Mac, or if you have a Windows PC with a 6-pin FireWire 400 port, you can use the iPod Dock Connector to FireWire Cable. If your computer has a high-power USB 2.0 port, you can also use the iPod Dock Connector to USB 2.0 Cable. You can also use the optional iPod Dock (see page 23).
If you are connecting to a FireWire 400 port, use the iPod Dock Connector to FireWire Cable. If you are connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port, use the iPod Dock Connector to USB 2.0 Cable.
LL0200_Q21UG.book Page 11 Wednesday, June 30, 2004 5:02 PM
When you connect iPod to your computer, iTunes opens automatically and transfers the songs and playlists in your music library to iPod. Note: If youre connecting using USB 2.0, be sure to connect iPod to a high-power USB 2.0 port directly on your computer, or to a powered USB 2.0 hub thats connected to your computer. iPod wont work if its connected to a low-power USB 2.0 port, such as those sometimes found on keyboards or other peripherals. While songs or files are transferred using USB 2.0, the iPod loses charge. Transferring songs or files when iPod isnt sufficiently charged can cause incomplete transfer, loss of the information being transferred, and may require a restore (see page 53). Its best to charge iPod before transferring songs or files. You can charge the iPod by connecting it to your computer without transferring files or by using the iPod Power Adapter. Note: If youre using a portable or laptop computer with a high-power USB 2.0 port, connect the computer to a power outlet before connecting iPod for best results. If your Windows PC doesnt have a 6-pin FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394) port or a high-power USB 2.0 port, here are other ways you can connect iPod: Purchase a FireWire card or USB 2.0 card, and install it. Or, if your computer has a 4-pin FireWire port, you can use an optional 6-pinto4-pin FireWire adapter. Note: You cant charge iPod through your computer using a 4-pin FireWire port. For more information on cables and compatible FireWire and USB cards, go to www.apple.com/ipod.

Safety and Cleaning

Read on to learn about using iPod safely and cleaning iPod.
Important Safety Instructions
When setting up and using your iPod, remember the following: Read all the installation instructions carefully before you plug your iPod Power Adapter in to a power outlet. Keep these instructions handy for reference by you and others. Follow all instructions and warnings dealing with your iPod. Warning Electrical equipment may be hazardous if misused. Operation of this product, or similar products, must always be supervised by an adult. Do not allow children access to the interior of any electrical product and do not permit them to handle any cables.

LL0200_Q21UG.book Page 58 Wednesday, June 30, 2004 5:02 PM

Avoid Hearing Damage

Warning Permanent hearing loss may occur if earbuds or headphones are used at high volume. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound, which may sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing. Set your iPod volume to a safe level before that happens. If you experience ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use of your iPod.

Do Not Use While Driving

Important: Use of headphones while operating a vehicle is not recommended and is illegal in some areas. Be careful and attentive while driving. Stop listening to your iPod if you find it disruptive or distracting while operating any type of vehicle or performing any other activity that requires your full attention.

Connectors and Ports

Never force a connector into a port. If the connector and port do not join with reasonable ease, they probably dont match. Make sure that the connector matches the port and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.

Battery

Do not attempt to remove the iPod battery. iPod must be disposed of according to local environmental regulations.
LL0200_Q21UG.book Page 59 Wednesday, June 30, 2004 5:02 PM

Using the Power Adapter

Use only the power adapter that came with your iPod. Adapters for other electronic devices may look similar, but they may damage your iPod. The only way to shut off power to your power adapter completely is to disconnect it from the power source. Always leave space around your power adapter. Do not use this equipment in a location where airflow around the power adapter is confined, such as a bookcase. When connecting or disconnecting your power adapter, always hold the power adapter by its sides. Keep fingers away from the metal part of the plug. Before connecting the FireWire cable to the power adapter, make sure there are no foreign objects inside the power adapters FireWire port. The power adapter for your iPod is a high-voltage component and should not be opened for any reason, even when the iPod is off. If the power adapter needs service, see Learning More, Service, and Support on page 55. Never force a connector into the power adapter FireWire port.

Updating iPod nano Automatically
By default, iPod nano is set to update automatically with all songs and playlists when you connect it to your computer. This is the simplest way to download music to your iPod nano. You just connect iPod nano to your computer, let it add songs, audiobooks, and other items automatically, and then disconnect it and go. If you added any songs to iTunes since the last time you connected iPod nano, they are downloaded to iPod nano. If you deleted songs from iTunes, they are deleted from iPod nano.
To download songs to iPod nano: m Simply connect iPod nano to your computer. If iPod nano is set to update automatically, the download begins. Important: The first time you connect iPod nano to a computer, a message asks if you want to transfer songs automatically. If you accept, all songs, audiobooks, and other items are deleted from iPod nano and replaced with the songs and other items from that computer. If you dont accept, you can still download songs to iPod nano manually without deleting any of the songs already on iPod nano. While music is being downloaded from your computer to iPod nano, the iTunes status window shows progress, and the iPod nano icon in the Source list flashes red.
When the download is complete, a message in iTunes says iPod update is complete. If you set iTunes to download music manually, you can reset it later to update iPod nano automatically. For more information, see Updating iPod nano Manually on page 22. To reset iTunes to update iPod nano automatically with all songs and playlists: 1 Open iTunes and select iPod nano in the Source list. 2 Click the Options button and click Music.

To make an On-The-Go playlist: 1 Select a song and press and hold the Center button until the song title flashes. 2 Choose other songs you want to add. 3 Choose Music > Playlists > On-The-Go to view your list of songs. You can also add entire lists of songs at once. For example, to add an album, highlight the album title and press and hold the Center button until the album title flashes.
To play songs in the On-The-Go playlist: m Choose Music > Playlists > On-The-Go and choose a song. To remove a song from the On-The-Go playlist: m Select a song in the playlist, and hold down the Center button until the song title flashes. To clear the entire On-The-Go playlist: m Choose Music > Playlists > On-The-Go > Clear Playlist. To save On-The-Go playlists on your iPod nano: m Choose Music > Playlists > On-The-Go > Save Playlist > Save Playlist. The first playlist is saved as New Playlist 1 in the Playlists menu. The On-The-Go playlist is cleared. You can save as many On-The-Go playlists as you like. After you save an On-The-Go playlist, you can no longer remove songs from it. To copy On-The-Go playlists to your computer: m If iPod nano is set to update songs automatically (see Updating iPod nano Automatically on page 20), and you make an On-The-Go playlist, the playlist automatically copies to iTunes when you connect iPod nano. You see the new On-TheGo playlist in the iTunes Source list. You can rename or delete the new playlist, just as you would any other playlist in iTunes.

Rating Songs
