16 Chapter 2 Lesson 2: Transferring Music to iPod
If you have a Macintosh, you can also charge the iPod battery by connecting iPod to
your computer (see below). If you have a Windows PC, in most cases you can charge
the iPod battery by connecting iPod to your computer. If the battery is charging, the
battery icon on the iPod screen animates.
Note: Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and may
eventually need to be replaced. Battery life and number of charge cycles vary by use
and settings. For more information, go to www.apple.com/batteries.
Connecting iPod to Your Computer
You connect iPod to your computer to transfer music to iPod and organize music
on iPod.
To connect iPod to your computer:
1 Determine which cable to use to connect iPod to your computer.
• If your computer has a 6-pin FireWire port, you can use the iPod Dock Connector to
FireWire Cable.
Note: All iPod-compatible Macintosh computers can use this cable.
• If your computer has a high-power USB 2.0 port, you can use the iPod Dock Connector
to USB 2.0 Cable.
• If you have a Windows PC that doesn’t have any FireWire or USB 2.0 ports, here are other
ways you can connect iPod:
• Purchase a FireWire card or USB 2.0 card and install it. For more information about
