Connecting and Disconnecting iPod shuffle Connect iPod shuffle to your computer to load songs and other audio files, and to charge the battery. Disconnect iPod shuffle when you're done. Connecting iPod shuffle To connect iPod shuffle to your computer: m Plug the included iPod shuffle Dock into a USB port on your computer. Then put iPod shuffle in the Dock. Note: Connect the Dock to a high-power USB port to charge the battery. A USB 2.0 port is recommended. Do not use the USB port on your keyboard. The first time you connect iPod shuffle to your computer, the iPod Setup Assistant helps you configure iPod shuffle and sync it with your iTunes library. Important: Once you've synced iPod shuffle with the iTunes library on a computer, a message appears whenever you connect iPod shuffle to another computer, asking if you want to sync with the iTunes library on the new computer. Click Cancel if you want to keep the current music content on iPod shuffle. Or, click Transfer Purchases to keep the contents on iPod shuffle and copy the purchased songs on it to the iTunes library on the new computer. See iTunes Help for more information. Disconnecting iPod shuffle It's important not to disconnect iPod shuffle from your computer while audio files are being loaded or when iPod shuffle is being used as an external disk. You can see if it's OK to disconnect iPod shuffle by looking at the top of the iTunes window or by checking the iPod shuffle status light. Important: If you see the "Do not disconnect" message in iTunes or if the status light on iPod shuffle is blinking orange, you must eject iPod shuffle before disconnecting it. Otherwise, you could damage files on iPod shuffle. If you enable iPod shuffle for disk use (see page 19), you must always eject iPod shuffle before disconnecting it. Chapter 1 iPod shuffle Basics 5
