computer, connect the other end to the Dock, and then put iPod nano in the Dock.
Note: The USB port on most keyboards doesn’t provide enough power. Connect
iPod nano to a USB 2.0 port on your computer.
By default, iTunes syncs songs on iPod nano automatically when you connect it to your
computer. When iTunes is finished, you can disconnect iPod nano. You can sync songs
while your battery is charging.
If you connect iPod nano to a different computer and it’s set to sync music
automatically, iTunes prompts you before syncing any music. If you click Yes, the songs
and other audio files already on iPod nano will be erased and replaced with songs and
other audio files on the computer iPod nano is connected to. For information about
adding music to iPod nano and using iPod nano with more than one computer, see

About the iPod nano Battery
iPod nano has an internal, non-user-replaceable battery. For best results, the first time
you use iPod nano, let it charge for about three hours or until the battery icon in the
status area of the display shows that the battery is fully charged. If iPod nano isn’t used
for a while, the battery might need to be charged.
Note: iPod nano continues to use battery power after it’s been turned off.
The iPod nano battery is 80-percent charged in about one and a half hours, and fully
charged in about three hours. If you charge iPod nano while adding files, playing
music, watching videos, or viewing a slideshow, it might take longer.
Charging the iPod nano Battery
You can charge the iPod nano battery in two ways:
 Connect iPod nano to your computer.
 Use the Apple USB Power Adapter, available separately.
To charge the battery using your computer:
m Connect iPod nano to a USB 2.0 port on your computer. The computer must be turned
on and not in sleep mode.
If the battery icon on the iPod nano screen shows the Charging screen, the battery is
charging. If it shows the Charged screen, the battery is fully charged.
If you don’t see the Charging screen, iPod nano might not be connected to a
high-power USB port. Try another USB port on your computer.
Chapter 1 iPod nano Basics17
Important: If a “Charging, Please Wait” or “Connect to Power” message appears on the
iPod nano screen, the battery needs to be charged before iPod nano can communicate
with your computer. See“If iPod nano displays a “Connect to Power” message” on
page 66.
If you want to charge iPod nano when you’re away from your computer, you can
purchase the Apple USB Power Adapter.
To charge the battery using the Apple USB Power Adapter:
1 Connect the AC plug adapter to the power adapter (they might already be connected).
2 Connect the iPod Dock Connector to USB 2.0 cable to the power adapter, and plug the
other end of the cable into iPod nano.

To set up iPod nano, you use iTunes on your computer to
import, buy, and organize your music, video, podcasts,
audiobooks, games, and other media content. Then you
connect iPod nano to your computer and sync it to your
iTunes library.
Using iTunes
iTunes is the software application you use with iPod nano. iTunes can sync music,
audiobooks, podcasts, and more with iPod nano. When you connect iPod nano to your
computer, iTunes opens automatically.
This guide explains how to use iTunes to download songs and other audio and video to
your computer, create personal compilations of your favorite songs (called playlists),
sync them to iPod nano, and adjust iPod nano settings.
20
iTunes also has a feature called Genius that creates instant playlists of songs from your
iTunes library that go great together. You can sync Genius playlists that you create in
iTunes to iPod nano, and you can create Genius playlists on iPod nano. To use Genius,
you need iTunes 8.0 or later and an iTunes Store account.
iTunes has many other features. You can burn your own CDs that play in standard CD
players (if your computer has a recordable CD drive); listen to streaming Internet radio;
watch videos and TV shows; rate songs according to preference; and much more.
For information about using these iTunes features, open iTunes and choose
Help > iTunes Help.
If you already have iTunes 8.0 installed on your computer and you’ve set up your iTunes
library, you can skip ahead to the next section, “Syncing iPod nano.” To learn how to set

 Add music and other audio that’s already on your computer to your iTunes library.
Purchasing Songs and Downloading Podcasts Using the iTunes Store
If you have an Internet connection, you can easily purchase and download songs,
albums, audiobooks, and videos online using the iTunes Store. You can also subscribe
to and download podcasts.
To purchase music online using the iTunes Store, you set up an Apple account in
iTunes, find the songs you want, and then buy them. If you already have an Apple
account, or if you have an America Online (AOL) account (available in some countries
only), you can use that account to sign in to the iTunes Store and buy songs.
You don’t need an iTunes Store account to download or subscribe to podcasts.
To sign in to the iTunes Store:
m Open iTunes and then:
 If you already have an iTunes account, choose Store > Sign In.
 If you don’t already have an iTunes account, choose Store > Create Account and follow
the onscreen instructions to set up an Apple account or enter your existing Apple
account or AOL account information.
You can browse or search the iTunes Store to find the album, song, or artist you’re
looking for. Open iTunes and select iTunes Store in the source list.
 To browse the iTunes Store, choose a category (for example, Music) on the left side of
the main page in the iTunes Store. You can choose a genre, look at new releases, click
one of the featured songs, look at Top Songs and more, or click Browse under Quick
Links in the main iTunes Store window.
Chapter 2 Setting Up iPod nano21
 To browse for podcasts, click the Podcasts link on the left side of the main page in the
iTunes Store.
 To search the iTunes Store, type the name of an album, song, artist, or composer in the

what you want. (If your network connection is slower than 128 kbps, choose iTunes >
Preferences, and in the Store pane, select the “Load complete preview before playing”
checkbox.)
2 Click Buy Song, Buy Album, Buy Video, or Buy Book.
The song or other item is downloaded to your computer and charged to the credit card
listed on your Apple or AOL account.
To download or subscribe to a podcast:
1 Select iTunes Store in the source list.
