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 12 for illustrations and
more information).
To play songs through headphones or speakers connected to the Headphones port,
iPod mini must be disconnected from your computer.
To connect iPod mini to your computer:
n
Plug the appropriate 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 40), connect the appropriate
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.
