For most iPods, the cable used to connect an iPod to a computer (Mac or PC) is an iPod USB cable. On the iPod end, there is an iPod dock connector, and on the other end, there is a USB connector. There have been (and are) several exceptions as of this writing (November 2007): The original 1st and 2nd generation iPods were only available for Mac, and connected via 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire (IEEE 1394a) cables. These models had an actual scrolling wheel that moved, and are arguably the iPods that most resemble 'bricks'. The 3rd generation iPod was the first model available for use with Windows, and is distinguished by the row of four round buttons below the screen, separate from the clickwheel. This model came with an iPod USB cable and/or an iPod FireWire cable, and could sync via either interface. The 4th generation iPod did away with the four buttons, and was available at first in black and white, then in color as the 'iPod Photo.' This generation could also use both iPod USB and iPod FireWire cables for syncing and charging. All iPod mini models could also sync and charge on both iPod USB and iPod FireWire cables. iPod shuffles (1st generation) had a USB plug built right into them, and could plug directly into a USB port. The iPod shuffle (2nd generation) has a custom dock that ships with it. The dock has a custom cradle with single plug that resembles a headphone plug that charges and syncs the iPod shuffle on one end, and a USB plug on the other end.
