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 haven’t 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 don’t want to transfer, then click Import.
3
Repeat for any other CDs with songs you’d 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

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.
10
Quick Start
When you connect iPod to your computer, iTunes opens automatically and transfers
the songs and playlists in your music library to iPod.
Note:
If you’re 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 that’s connected
to your computer. iPod won’t work if it’s 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 isn’t sufficiently charged can cause incomplete transfer, loss of
the information being transferred, and may require a restore (see page 53). It’s 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 you’re 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 doesn’t have a 6-pin FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394) port or a high-power
USB 2.0 port,
•
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
here are other ways you can connect iPod:
6-pin–to–4-pin FireWire adapter.
Note:
You can’t 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.
