chapter 2: the ipod sync connection 45
Although you might never suspect it, however, all 2003 and later iPods come out of
their boxes formatted for Macintosh. When you run the setup program on a Win-
dows PC, behind the scenes, it actually reformats your iPod’s hard drive for Win-
dows. See Figure 2-6 for details.
Your Very First Sync
For most people, the goal with any new electronics purchase is to get the new toy
working right away so the fun can begin. For new iPod owners, getting to The Fun
can be a very short wait. After unpacking the iPod and all its accessories, charging it
up as described in Chapter 1, and installing the software, you’re ready to dive in.
The First Sync (If You Use iTunes)
You may already have Apple’s free iTunes program and plenty of songs stored in its
music library. If so, the first synchronization between iPod and computer can be
astoundingly simple. As soon as you connect the new iPod to the Mac or PC, iTunes
opens automatically and begins copying your entire music library to the player (see
Figure 2-7).
Tip: If you don’t want iTunes to appear automatically every time the iPod is connected, you can turn off
this option in the iPod Preferences dialog box (Figure 2-9).
If you don’t have iTunes or any MP3 files on your hard drive already, you’ll have to
install iTunes and snag some music files from your music CDs (Chapter 4) or down-
load some songs from the Web (Chapter 3). Once you have a library of music built
up that you’d like to transfer to the iPod, just plug it in, let iTunes open, and watch
the two machines talk music together.
