One of the following operating systems: Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later, Windows 2000

with Service Pack 4 or later, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2

or later

Â

iTunes 6.0.2 or later (iTunes is included on the iPod CD)

Â

iPod software (included on the iPod CD)

If your Windows PC doesn’t have a high-power USB port

, you can purchase and install a

USB 2.0 card. For more information, go to www.apple.com/ipodstore.

Note:

You can connect iPod nano to a FireWire port (IEEE1394) for charging but not for

transferring music and other audio files.

In addition, on the Macintosh, iPhoto 4.0.3 or later is recommended for downloading

photos and albums to iPod nano. This software is optional. iPhoto might already be

installed on your Mac. Check the Applications folder. If you have iPhoto 4 you can

update it by choosing Apple (



) > Software Update.

On a Windows PC, iPod nano can import photo collections automatically from Adobe

Photoshop Album 2.0 or later, and Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 or later, available at

www.adobe.com. This software is optional.

On both Macintosh and Windows PC, iPod nano can import digital photos from folders

on your computer’s hard disk.

If you want to use your iPod nano with a Mac and a Windows PC

If you are using your iPod nano with a Mac and you want to use it with a Windows PC

(or vice versa), you must restore the iPod software for use with the other computer

using iPod Updater (see “Updating and Restoring iPod Software” below). Restoring the

iPod software erases all data from iPod nano, including all songs.

You cannot switch from using iPod nano with a Mac to using it with a Windows PC (or

vice versa) without erasing all data on iPod nano.
