42 ipod & itunes: the missing manual
The iPod Software CD
The CD that comes with the iPod contains all the software you need to get up and
iPodding in no time (Figure 2-5). (There’s only one CD in the box of the latest iPod
models. The iPod CD installer program is smart enough to figure out what kind of
computer youre using and show you only the Mac or Windows installer on the
disc.)
The Macintosh CD
Early versions of the iPod CD included software for both Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X.
But beginning with the 2003 iPods, Apple expects you to use Mac OS X 10.1.5 or
later. Recent versions of the iPod CD come with iTunes 4; if that’s not the version
you have, download the latest version of iTunes at www.apple.com/itunes.
Note: If you’re a stalwart Mac OS 9 fan, there’s still hope. Some people have reported being able to get a
new iPod to work with iTunes 2 and the latest version of Mac OS 9, although sometimes erratically. A few
folks have come up with detailed workarounds (like those described at www.phaster.com/ipod_hacks),
but they’re not for the technically faint of heart. If you want to use a new iPod in all its glory—with the
iTunes Music Store, iSync, and other goodies described in this book—it’s best to do it with the operating
system Apple recommends.

Software CD
Figure 2-5:
The typical iPod CD (for
Mac, top, and Windows)
contains the iPod installer
software, a copy of iTunes
or MusicMatch Jukebox,
an electronic copy of the
iPod instruction booklet,
and a folder of samples
of spoken-word audio
files from Audible.com.
An Acrobat PDF file of
legal and regulatory
information is also
included for those who
really love to read the fine
print. (Installation CDs
are constantly evolving
creatures, so don’t be
alarmed if your screen
looks different from those
pictured here.)
