62 Chapter 6 Tips and Troubleshooting
Note: If you added or removed items from the iPod classic main menu (see “Adding or
Removing Items from the Main Menu” on page 10) the Settings menu item may be in a
different place. If you can’t find the Reset Settings menu item, you can restore
iPod classic to its original state and choose a language you understand. See “Updating
and Restoring iPod Software” on page 63.
If you can’t see videos or photos on your TV
 You must use RCA-type cables made specifically for iPod classic, such as the Apple
Component or Apple Composite AV cables, to connect iPod classic to your TV. Other
similar RCA-type cables won’t work.
 Make sure your TV is set to display images from the correct input source (see the
documentation that came with your TV for more information).
 Make sure all cables are connected correctly (see “Watching Videos on a TV
Connected to iPod classic” on page 40).
 Make sure the yellow end of the Apple Composite AV Cable is connected to the
video port on your TV.
 If you’re trying to watch a video, go to Videos > Settings and set TV Out to On, and
then try again. If you’re trying to view a slideshow, go to Photos > Slideshow Settings
and set TV Out to On, and then try again.
 If that doesn’t work, go to Videos > Settings (for video) or Photos > Settings (for a
slideshow) and set TV Signal to PAL or NTSC, depending on which type of TV you
have. Try both settings.
If you want to double-check the system requirements
To use iPod classic, you must have:
 One of the following computer configurations:
 A Mac with a USB 2.0 port
 A Windows PC with a USB 2.0 or a USB 2.0 card installed
 One of the following operating systems:
 Mac OS X v10.4.11 or later
 Windows Vista
 Windows XP (Home or Professional) with Service Pack 3 or later
 iTunes 8.0 or later (iTunes can be downloaded from www.apple.com/ipod/start)
If your Windows PC doesn’t have a USB 2.0 port, you can purchase and install a USB 2.0
card. For more information on cables and compatible USB cards, go to
www.apple.com/ipod.
On the Mac, iPhoto 4.0.3 or later is recommended for adding photos and albums to
iPod classic. This software is optional. iPhoto might already be installed on your Mac.
Check the Applications folder. If you have iPhoto 4 you can update it by choosing
Apple () > Software Update.
