Tips and Troubleshooting

On a Windows PC, iPod classic can sync 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 Mac and Windows PC, iPod classic can sync digital photos from folders on

your computer’s hard disk.

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

If you’re using iPod classic with a Mac and you want to use it with a Windows PC, you

must restore the iPod software for use with the PC (see “Updating and Restoring iPod

Software” on page 63). Restoring the iPod software erases all data from iPod classic,

including all songs.

You cannot switch from using iPod classic with a Mac to using it with a Windows PC

without erasing all data on iPod classic.

If you lock the iPod classic screen and can’t unlock it

Normally, if you can connect iPod classic to the computer it’s authorized to work with,

iPod classic automatically unlocks. If the computer authorized to work with iPod classic

is unavailable, you can connect iPod classic to another computer and use iTunes to

restore iPod software. See the next section for more information.

If you want to change the screen lock combination and you can’t remember the

current combination, you must restore the iPod software and then set a new

combination.

Updating and Restoring iPod Software

You can use iTunes to update or restore iPod software. It’s recommended that you

update iPod classic to use the latest software. You can also restore the software, which

puts iPod classic back to its original state.

Â

If you choose to update,

the software is updated, but your settings and songs aren’t

affected.

Â

If you choose to restore,

all data is erased from iPod classic, including songs, videos,

files, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data. All iPod classic

settings are restored to their original state.

To update or restore iPod classic:

1

Make sure you have an Internet connection and have installed the latest version of

iTunes from www.apple.com/ipod/start.

2

Connect iPod classic to your computer.

3

In iTunes, select iPod classic in the source list and click the Summary tab.

The Version section tells you whether iPod classic is up to date or needs a newer

version of the software.
