Note: If you added or removed items from the iPod classic main menu (see “Adding or Removing Items from the Main Menu” on page 10) the Settings menu item may be in a different place. If you can’t find the Reset Settings menu item, you can restore

iPod classic to its original state and choose a language you understand. See “Updating and Restoring iPod Software” on page 63.

If you can’t see videos or photos on your TV

ÂYou must use RCA-type cables made specifically for iPod classic, such as the Apple Component or Apple Composite AV cables, to connect iPod classic to your TV. Other similar RCA-type cables won’t work.

ÂMake sure your TV is set to display images from the correct input source (see the documentation that came with your TV for more information).

ÂMake sure all cables are connected correctly (see “Watching Videos on a TV Connected to iPod classic” on page 40).

ÂMake sure the yellow end of the Apple Composite AV Cable is connected to the video port on your TV.

ÂIf you’re trying to watch a video, go to Videos > Settings and set TV Out to On, and then try again. If you’re trying to view a slideshow, go to Photos > Slideshow Settings and set TV Out to On, and then try again.

ÂIf that doesn’t work, go to Videos > Settings (for video) or Photos > Settings (for a slideshow) and set TV Signal to PAL or NTSC, depending on which type of TV you have. Try both settings.

If you want to double-check the system requirements

To use iPod classic, you must have:

ÂOne of the following computer configurations:

ÂA Mac with a USB 2.0 port

ÂA Windows PC with a USB 2.0 or a USB 2.0 card installed

ÂOne of the following operating systems:

ÂMac OS X v10.4.11 or later

ÂWindows Vista

ÂWindows XP (Home or Professional) with Service Pack 3 or later

ÂiTunes 8.0 or later (iTunes can be downloaded from www.apple.com/ipod/start)

If your Windows PC doesn’t have a USB 2.0 port, you can purchase and install a USB 2.0 card. For more information on cables and compatible USB cards, go to www.apple.com/ipod.

On the Mac, iPhoto 4.0.3 or later is recommended for adding photos and albums to iPod classic. 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.

Battery life remains a crucial characteristic, with these models providing hours of use on a single charge, ensuring productivity without frequent interruptions.

The MacBook models are equipped with a solid-state drive (SSD) in certain configurations, enhancing boot speeds and application loading times significantly. The inclusion of NVIDIA graphics cards in specific models like the MB150ZP/A provides better graphics performance for graphic design, video editing, and gaming.

Another notable feature is the presence of the latest version of Mac OS during launch, alongside the ability to seamlessly integrate with other Apple devices through iCloud. This ecosystem allows users to access and sync their data easily across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, streamlining workflow and enhancing user experience.
