54 Tips and Troubleshooting
If Your Optional iPod Remote Isn’t Working
• Make sure the remote’s Hold switch is off.
• Make sure the remote is plugged firmly in to iPod mini, and that the headphones are
plugged firmly in to the remote.
The iPod Remote can be purchased separately at www.ipod.com/store.
If You Want to Use Your iPod mini With a Mac and a Windows PC
If you are using your iPod mini with a Mac and you want to use it with a Windows PC
(or vice versa), you must restore the iPod mini software for use with the other
computer using iPod mini Software Update (see “iPod mini Software Update and
Restore” below). Restoring the iPod mini software erases all data from iPod mini,
including all songs.
You cannot switch from using iPod mini with a Mac to using it with a Windows PC (or
vice versa) without erasing all data on iPod mini.
iPod mini Software Update and Restore
Apple periodically updates iPod mini software to improve performance or add features.
It is recommended that you update your iPod mini to use the latest software.
You can choose either to update or to restore the iPod mini software.
• If you choose to update, the software is updated, but your settings and songs are not
affected.
• If you choose to restore, all data is erased from your iPod mini, including songs, files,
contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data. All iPod mini settings are
restored to their original state.
