Connecting and Disconnecting iPod mini
You connect iPod mini to your computer to transfer and manage music, and in most
cases, to charge the battery. If you have a Mac, you connect iPod mini using the
included FireWire cable. If you have a Windows PC, use the FireWire or the USB 2.0
cable, depending on which port your computer has (see page 10 for illustrations and
more information).
To connect iPod mini to your computer:
n
Plug the cable in to a FireWire or high-power USB 2.0 port on your computer, then
connect the other end to iPod mini. Be sure to orient the connectors on both ends of
the cable correctly. Each connector can only be inserted one way.
n
Or, if you have an optional iPod mini Dock (see page 38), connect the cable to a
FireWire or high-power USB 2.0 port on your computer and connect the other end to
the Dock. Then put iPod mini in the Dock. The iPod mini Dock is available at
www.apple.com/store.
By default, iPod mini imports songs automatically when you connect it to your
computer. When this automatic transfer is done, it’s OK to disconnect iPod mini.
