1.2. Using FireWire or USB 2.0

The iPod photo comes with two cables:

  • iPod Dock Connector to FireWire cable (see Figure 1-5)

  • iPod Dock Connector to USB 2.0 cable (see Figure 1-6)

If your computer (Mac or PC) has a 6-pin FireWire connector, you should use the iPod Dock Connector to FireWire cable to connect your iPod photo to the computer. Using this cable, you can sync and charge your iPod at the same time.

If your computer (Mac or PC) has a USB 2.0 connector, you can use the iPod Dock Connector to USB 2.0 cable to connect your iPod photo to the computer.

Note that only USB 2.0 ports can charge your iPod. USB 1.1 ports do not have enough power to charge your iPod photo.


If you are a PC user and your computer comes with a 4-pin FireWire port (most commonly found in notebook computers), you need to buy a 6-pin to 4-pin FireWire adapter (see Figure 1-7).

You cannot charge the iPod photo using a 4-pin FireWire port.
