Note: Don’t connect iPod shuffle to a USB port on your keyboard for charging.

The first time you connect iPod shuffle to your computer, iTunes helps you set up iPod shuffle and sync it with your iTunes library. By default, iTunes automatically syncs songs on iPod shuffle when you connect it to your computer. You can sync songs while your battery is charging.

If you connect iPod shuffle to a different computer and iPod shuffle is set to sync music automatically, iTunes prompts you before syncing any music. If you click Yes, the songs and other audio files already on iPod shuffle are erased and replaced with songs and other audio files from the new computer iPod shuffle is connected to. For information about adding music to iPod shuffle or using iPod shuffle with more than one computer, see Chapter 4, Listening to Music, on page 17.

Disconnecting iPod shuffle

It’s important not to disconnect iPod shuffle from your computer while audio files are syncing or when iPod shuffle is being used as an external disk. It’s OK to disconnect iPod shuffle if the status light isn’t blinking orange, or if you see the “OK to disconnect” message at the top of the iTunes window.

Important: If you see the “Do not disconnect” message in iTunes or if the status light on

iPod shuffle is blinking orange, you must first eject iPod shuffle before disconnecting it. Failing to do so may damage files on iPod shuffle and require you to restore iPod shuffle in iTunes. For information about restoring, see Updating and restoring iPod shuffle software on page 26.

If you enable iPod shuffle for disk use (see Using iPod shuffle as an external disk on page 22), you must always eject iPod shuffle before disconnecting it.
