Apple iPod mini (User’s Guide) - Manual (Page 19)

Using iPod mini 19
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.
