SAN FRANCISCO, July 12 (Reuters) - Apple Computer Inc. could warn that its fourth-quarter profit and revenue might fall short of Wall Street expectations, as it cuts back on shipments of its iPod digital music player ahead of a new version, an analyst said on Wednesday.

Apple shares slipped to a 9-month low after Credit Suisse First Boston analyst Robert Semple said he expects Apple, which dominates the market for digital music players, to forecast revenue of $4.6 billion to $4.8 billion, shy of the $4.9 billion seen by Reuters Estimates.
