Introduction to Setting up the Third Generation iPod Shuffle

third generation ipod shuffle set up, step 1

The third-generation iPod Shuffle is different from the other iPods: it doesn’t have a screen. And while there are a few other differences, setting one up is fairly similar to setting up other models. If you're setting up an iPod for the first time with this Shuffle, take heart: it's pretty easy.

Begin by plugging the Shuffle into the included USB adapter and plugging that into a USB 2 port on your computer (the USB ports on Macs' keyboards won't work; they’re not USB 2).
