Is iPod compatible with my computer?

For additional information, see iPod: System Requirements. |
How do I tell which iPod I have?
It's easy to see which iPod model you have. Some of the things you can do include checking if it has a scroll wheel,
a touch wheel, or a Click Wheel and checking the size of its hard drive. See Identifying different iPod models
for more details. |
What music (jukebox) software do I need on my computer to use iPod?
Pod comes with iTunes for Macintosh and iTunes for Windows. |
How do I transfer music between my computer and iPod?
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. |
Can I use an iPod formatted for Mac on a PC, or an iPod formatted for Windows on a Mac?
It is not possible to use an iPod formatted for Mac with Windows. This is because Windows does not support the HFS
Plus file system and therefore will not see the drive. |
Can I use iPod while running, or doing other activities? Will my music skip?
iPod was designed for people with an active lifestyle. It is compact and lightweight enough to take with you
wherever you go. It was designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand or to be slipped into a pocket or
purse for easy transport. iPod offers up to 20 minutes of skip protection - twice that of other hard drive-based
MP3 players on the market - so you can enjoy outdoor athletic activities without missing a beat. Also check out
the skip-free iPod shuffle and iPod nano. |
