Tips and Troubleshooting

If you can’t see videos or photos on your TV
 You must use RCA-type cables made specifically for iPod nano, such as the Apple

Component or Apple Composite AV cables, to connect iPod nano to your TV. Other
similar RCA-type cables won’t work.

 Make sure your TV is set to display images from the correct input source (see the

documentation that came with your TV for more information).

 Make sure all cables are connected correctly (see “Watching Videos on a TV

Connected to iPod nano” on page 45).

 Make sure the yellow end of the Apple Composite AV Cable is connected to the

video port on your TV.

 If you’re trying to view a video, choose Videos > Settings and set TV Out to On, and

then try again. If you’re trying to view a slideshow, choose Photos > Slideshow
Settings and set TV Out to On, and then try again.

 If that doesn’t work, choose Videos > Settings (for video) or Photos > Settings (for a

slideshow) and set TV Signal to PAL or NTSC, depending on which type of TV you
have. Try both settings.

If you want to double-check the system requirements
To use iPod nano, you must have:

 One of the following computer configurations:

 A Mac with a USB 2.0 port
 A Windows PC with a USB 2.0 or a USB 2.0 card installed

 One of the following operating systems:

 Mac OS X v10.4.11 or later
 Windows Vista
 Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later

 iTunes 8.0 or later (iTunes can be downloaded from www.apple.com/ipod/start)

If your Windows PC doesn’t have a USB 2.0 port, you can purchase and install a USB 2.0
card. For more information about cables and compatible USB cards, go to
www.apple.com/ipod.

On the Mac, iPhoto 6 or later is recommended for adding photos and albums to
iPod nano. This software is optional. iPhoto might already be installed on your Mac.
Check the Applications folder.

On a Windows PC, iPod nano can sync photo collections automatically from Adobe
Photoshop Album 2.0 or later, and Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 or later, available at
www.adobe.com. This software is optional.

On both Mac and Windows PC, iPod nano can sync digital photos from folders on your
computer’s hard disk.
