Tips and Troubleshooting

If your iPod is exceptionally low on power and you connect it to a USB port, it might

charge for up to 30 minutes before it turns on. The display could be dark for up to 30

minutes while it charges. Leave iPod connected until it charges sufficiently. If you

have an iPod USB Power adapter (available separately), you can use that to charge

iPod more quickly.

If you’re connecting iPod to a portable or laptop computer using the iPod Dock

Connector to USB 2.0 Cable, connect the computer to a power outlet before

connecting iPod.

Make sure you have the required computer and software. See “If you want to double-

check the system requirements” on page 59.

Check the cable connections. Unplug the cable at both ends and make sure no

foreign objects are in the USB ports. Then plug the cable back in securely. Make sure

the connectors on the cables are oriented correctly. They can be inserted only one

way.

If that doesn’t work, restart your computer.

If that doesn’t work, you might need to restore iPod software. See “Updating and

Restoring iPod Software” on page 61.

Note:

You can only use an iPod Dock Connector to FireWire Cable for charging and not

for downloading songs and other audio files to iPod.

If you see a folder with an exclamation point on the iPod display

iPod might need to be reset (see page 55).

If that doesn’t work, your iPod battery might need to be recharged. Connect iPod to

your computer and let the battery recharge. If you still see the folder, reset iPod

again.

If that doesn’t work, you might need to update or restore iPod with the latest

software. Make sure you have installed the software from the iPod CD, or go to

www.apple.com/ipod to get the latest software. Follow the instructions on page 61

to update or restore the iPod software.
