iPod + iTunes Operation
Plugging your Mac or PC into the mStation Orb’s™ USB or FireWire jack provides your
iPod access to your computer and iTunes music library without disconnecting it from
the docking port. To download or make changes to the music on your iPod, follow the
instructions that came with your iPod.
Whenever you plug your computer into the mStation Orb’s™ USB or FireWire
jack while an iPod is connected to the docking port, the computer will auto-
matically detect the iPod and, depending on your settings, launch iTunes.
Remember, newer generation iPods do not support FireWire connections. For more in-
formation, see the instructions that came with your iPod.
While linking to the computer, music playback, as well as access to your iPod, will be
interrupted briefly. Playback will resume once the computer has successfully linked with
your iPod. Your iPod’s screen will display the message “Do Not Disconnect.”
When you are finished accessing your iPod, follow the instructions that came with your
iPod to eject (disconnect) it from the computer.
!
While connected to your computer, if you see a message on your iPod that says
“Do not disconnect,” it is not safe to remove the iPod from the docking port or
unplug the computer from the USB or FireWire jack. To avoid damage to your files,
follow the instructions that came with your iPod to properly eject (disconnect) the iPod
before undocking or disconnecting the USB or FireWire cable from the mStation Orb™.
Once you have successfully ejected (disconnected) the iPod, you can safely unplug the
computer or undock the iPod from the mStation Orb™.
To continue listening to your iPod, make sure it is connected to the mStation Orb™
properly and follow the steps outlined in “iPod Operation.”
