Question 1: How do I transfer music between my computer and iPod?
Answer: iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update
modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes:
- Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music
library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your
computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
- Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists
you have selected to iPod when you connect it to the computer.
- Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to iPod manually. This allows
you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to iPod.

Question 2: Is iPod compatible with my computer?
Answer: iPod is compatible with both Macintosh computers and PCs. |
Question 3: How long does it take to transfer my music collection to iPod?
Answer: Connect iPod to your Mac or PC and all of your songs and playlists are automatically downloaded into
iPod. You can download an entire CD's worth of music in 10 seconds or less. |
Question 4: I have both a Mac and a PC. Will my iPod work on both?
Answer: No, not at the same time. iPod is configured for either Mac or PC. You can use the iPod Software
Updater utility to restore iPod to work with a Mac or a PC (depending on which version of the utility you use).
See technical document 60983, "iPod: How to Restore" for more information. |
Question 5: What if my music collection exceeds the storage capacity of iPod?
Answer: If you have more music in iTunes than you can fit on iPod, you can choose to update selected
playlists only or update manually. With the first option, only the tracks in the selected playlists (rather
than the entire music library) are downloaded to iPod when you connect. With the manual update option, you
manage what goes into your iPod by dragging and dropping selected songs or playlists into iPod. |
Question 6: How much music does iPod hold?
Answer: iPod comes in many storage capacities from 5 GB to 40 GB. (See Note 2.) The amount of music iPod
can hold depends on the compression rate of your songs. At 128 kilobits per second (kbit/s), the most common
compression rate used for MP3s, 20 GB is equivalent to over 5000 four-minute songs, or more than 500 CDs. At
the near-CD-quality 160 kbit/s compression rate, 20 GB equals over 4000 four-minute songs, or 400 CDs.

Question 7: How does iPod provide skip protection?
Answer: In addition to the hard drive, iPod has a memory cache. It is made up of solid-state
memory, meaning that it has no mechanical or moving parts, so it is not affected by movement of the
device. iPod skip protection works by preloading up to 25 minutes of music to the cache at a time.
iPod plays music from the memory cache rather than the hard drive, so even rigorous activities won't
cause music to skip.

Question 8: What is the equalization (EQ) feature on iPod?
Answer: An equalizer allows you to adjust various audio frequencies within the sound spectrum
(much like the bass and treble controls on a stereo system). Equalization can be used to optimize audio
playback for a specific room, genre of music, or individual's listening preference. The iPod comes
standard with over 20 equalization presets, such as Jazz, Rock, or Bass Booster. Choose your EQ preset
in the Settings menu. |
