iPod nano.

Setting up iPod nano

To get started, set up iPod nano using iTunes on your computer. During setup, you create an
iTunes Store account or use 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.

To use iPod nano, you need a Mac or PC with a high-power USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port and one of
the following operating systems:

OS X v10.7.5 or later

Windows 8 or later, Windows 7, 32-bit edition of Windows Vista, (with Windows Service Pack 3
or later)

Set up iPod nano:

1

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

iTunes 12.1.1 or later.

2

Connect iPod nano to the USB port on your Mac or PC, using the cable that came with

iPod nano.

3

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

Setting up iTunes syncing

on page 15.

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 best results, the first time you use iPod nano, let it charge for about three hours or until the

battery icon shows that the battery is fully charged.
