Mac Forum / General / Portable Macs / August 2005ipod install disk necessary?
I just got an ipod shuffle, and it came with a software CD. It says to install the software before connecting the ipod to your computer, but is this necessary on my PowerBook? I'm running Tiger, and I've done all the recent software updates. I'm hesitant (I'm sure for no reason) to install more stuff if it's unnecessary. Thanks for any advice anyone can offer. > I just got an ipod shuffle, and it came with a software CD.

If you have kept up to date then you install disk will have an older version of software anyway. Nigel Australia > I just got an ipod shuffle, and it came with a software CD.

I think if you have iTunes you don't need anything else. I have an iPod and I've never installed any software -- don't need it. It's already there as part of your regular system. In general, I don't use install disks since the software/drivers on them are usually out of date. Always go to the vendor's site -- including Apple's -- for the most up-to-date stuff. |
