Four Steps to Playing Music on iPod mini
To set up iPod mini, you install software from the iPod CD, and import songs from your
music CD collection or purchase songs from the iTunes Music Store (available in some
countries only). Then you transfer the songs to iPod mini as the battery charges, then
start listening to music.
Step 1: Install the Software
Insert the iPod CD into your computer and install iTunes and the iPod mini software.
Step 2: Import Music to Your Computer
Complete this step if you haven’t already transferred music to your computer. You can
import music from your audio CDs, or if you have an Internet connection, you can buy
music online and download it to your computer using the iTunes Music Store. You can
browse over a million songs and listen to a 30-second preview of any song. The iTunes
Music Store is available in some countries only.
To import music to your computer from an audio CD:
1
Insert a CD into your computer. iTunes opens automatically and the CD is selected in
the iTunes Source list.
2
Uncheck songs you don’t want to transfer, then click Import.
3
Repeat for any other CDs with songs you’d like to import.
To buy music online:
1
Open iTunes and click Music Store in the Source list.
2
Click the Account button and follow the onscreen instructions to set up an account or
enter your existing Apple Account or America Online (AOL) account information (this
option is available in some countries only).

Step 3: Connect iPod mini to Charge the Battery and Transfer Music
Connect iPod mini to a high-power USB 2.0 port on your computer using the included
iPod Dock Connector to USB 2.0 Cable.
When you connect iPod mini to your computer, iTunes opens. Follow the simple
onscreen instructions to transfer songs and playlists to iPod mini.
To charge the battery:
When iPod mini is connected to your computer, the battery charges. Before
disconnecting iPod mini the first time, let the battery charge for at least an hour.
If you are connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port,
use the iPod Dock Connector to USB 2.0 Cable. If you
are connecting to a FireWire 400 port, use an iPod Dock
Connector to FireWire Cable (available separately).
10
Quick Start
Important:
Be sure to connect iPod mini to a high-power USB 2.0 port directly on your
computer, or to a powered USB 2.0 hub that’s connected to your computer. iPod mini
won’t work if it’s connected to a low-power USB 2.0 port, such as those sometimes
found on keyboards or other peripherals.
If the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the iPod mini screen shows a lightning
bolt, iPod mini is connected to a high-power USB 2.0 port and the battery is charging
(see page 42 for more information).
If you’re using a portable or laptop computer with a high-power USB 2.0 port,
connect the
computer to a power outlet before connecting iPod mini for best results.
If your computer doesn’t have a high-power USB 2.0 port, but has a 6-pin FireWire 400 (IEEE
1394) port,
you can connect iPod mini using the optional iPod Dock Connector to
FireWire Cable, available at www.ipod.com/store.
If your Windows PC doesn’t have a high-power USB 2.0 port or a 6-pin FireWire 400 (IEEE
1394) port,
you can purchase and install a USB 2.0 card or a FireWire card.
For more information on cables and compatible USB and FireWire cards, go to
www.apple.com/ipod.
