52 Tips and Troubleshooting

If You Connect iPod to a USB Port and It Doesn’t Work Correctly

•You must use a FireWire port or a USB 2.0 port to connect iPod. USB 1.1 is not

supported and is significantly slower than FireWire and USB 2.0. If your Windows PC

doesn’t have a FireWire port or USB 2.0 port, you can purchase a Windows-certified

FireWire card or USB 2.0 card and install it. For more information, go to

www.apple.com/ipod.

•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.

•If you’re using a Mac or a Windows PC with a 6-pin FireWire port, connect iPod to a

FireWire port using the FireWire cable that came with iPod.

If the Screen is Too Light or Too Dark

1Select Settings > Contrast.

2Use the Click Wheel to adjust the contrast.

If you accidentally set the screen contrast too light or too dark, you can reset it to the

default by pressing and holding the Menu button for about 4 seconds.

If You Accidentally Set iPod to Use a Language You Don’t

Understand

You can reset the language.

1Push Menu repeatedly until the main menu appears.

2Select the fourth menu item (Settings).

3Select the last menu item (Reset All Settings).
