On the Macintosh, iPhoto 4.0.3 or later is recommended for loading photos and albums to iPod. This software is optional. iPhoto might already be installed on your Mac. Check the Applications folder. If you have iPhoto 4 you can update it by choosing Apple () > Software Update.

On a Windows PC, iPod can load photo collections automatically from Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 or later, and Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 or later, available at www.adobe.com. This software is optional.

On both Macintosh and Windows PC, iPod can load digital photos from folders on your computer’s hard disk, and import directly from most digital cameras (using the optional iPod Camera Connector).

If you want to use iPod with a Mac and a Windows PC

If you are using iPod with a Mac and you want to use it with a Windows PC, you must restore the iPod software for use with the PC using iPod Updater (see “Updating and Restoring iPod Software” below). Restoring the iPod software erases all data from iPod, including all songs.

You cannot switch from using iPod with a Mac to using it with a Windows PC without erasing all data on iPod.
