Tips and Troubleshooting

If that doesn’t work, you may need to update or restore iPod with the latest software.

Be sure you have installed the software from the iPod CD, or go to www.apple.com/

ipod to get the latest software. Then follow the instructions on page 67 to update or

restore the iPod software.

If Songs or Data Transfer More Slowly Over USB 2.0

If you transfer a large amount of songs or data using USB 2.0 and the iPod battery is

low, iPod will go into power-saving mode. Transfer speeds will slow down

considerably. This is normal.

If you want to transfer at higher speeds, you can stop the transfer, eject the iPod, and

connect it to a power outlet using the iPod Power Adapter. Let iPod charge for about

an hour, then connect it to your computer again to transfer music.

If You Connect iPod to a USB Port and It Doesn’t Work Correctly

You must use a USB 2.0 port or a FireWire port to connect iPod. USB 1.1 is not

supported and is significantly slower than FireWire and USB 2.0. If your Windows PC

doesn’t have a FireWire port or USB 2.0 port, you can purchase and install a Windows-

certified USB 2.0 card and install it. For more information, go to www.apple.com/ipod.

If you’re using a Mac or a Windows PC that doesn’t have a high-power USB 2.0 port

but has a 6-pin FireWire port, you can connect iPod to a FireWire port using the

optional iPod Dock Connector to FireWire Cable, available at www.apple.com/

ipodstore.

To charge the battery, you must connect iPod to a high-power USB 2.0 port on your

computer. Connecting iPod to a USB port on your keyboard will not charge the

battery.
