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 (IEEE 1394) port for charging, but not for

transferring music and other audio files.

On the Macintosh, iPhoto 4.0.3 or later is recommended for loading photos and albums

onto 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 load 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 load digital photos from folders on

your computer’s hard disk.

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

If you are using iPod nano 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

nano Software” on page 50). 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

without erasing all data on iPod nano.

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

Normally, if you can connect iPod nano to the computer it is authorized to work with,

iPod nano automatically unlocks. If the computer authorized to work with iPod nano is

unavailable, you can connect iPod nano to another computer and use iTunes to restore

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