You can install the iPod’s software on a Macintosh using the following steps:
- Insert the iPod or iPod mini CD in your Mac. It will be mounted.
- Using the Finder, open the installation CD so you can see its folders.
- Open the iPod Installer folder.
- If you are installing software for an iPod, open the iPod installer package. If you are installing software for an iPod mini, open the iPod mini installer package.
- Allow the installer to check for the appropriate software by clicking OK. The install window will appear.
- Click Continue. The installer will start and you will see the next screen in the process.
- Read the information on each screen that appears and click Continue to move to the next screen.
- When you get to the license agreement page, click Agree. You’ll see the Select a Destination screen.
- Choose the destination on which you want to install the iPod software. Typically, you should install the software on your active start-up drive. When you select a drive, it will be marked with a green arrow to show you the drive you have selected. In the lower part of the screen, you will see information about the drive on which you have elected to install the software.
- Click Continue.
- If prompted to do so, authenticate yourself as an administrator and click OK. The installer will run. When the process is complete, you will see the installation complete screen.
- Click Close. The installer will quit. The iPod Updater application will launch. To enable you to update the iPod’s software, you will need to connect the iPod to your computer. You’ll learn how to do that in the next section.
- For now, quit the iPod Update by choosing iPod Updater, Quit. You also need to have iTunes installed on your computer. Because you are using a Mac and I have assumed that you are running Mac OS X, you probably already have a copy installed on your computer. You should update the version you have installed to make sure you are using the most current version of the application.
