Managing iPod nano Manually

Setting iTunes to let you manage iPod nano manually gives you the most flexibility for managing music and video on iPod nano. You can add and remove individual songs (including music videos) and videos (including movies and TV shows). Also, you can add music and video from multiple computers to iPod nano without erasing items already on iPod nano.

Setting iPod nano to manually manage music and video turns off the automatic sync options in the Music, Movies, and TV Shows panes. You cannot manually manage one and automatically sync another at the same time.

To set iTunes to let you manage music and video on iPod nano manually:

1In iTunes, select iPod nano in the source list and click the Summary tab.

2In the Options section, select “Manually manage music and video.”

3Click Apply.

When you manage songs and video yourself, you must always eject iPod nano from iTunes before you disconnect it.

To add a song, video, or other item to iPod nano:

1Click Music or another Library item in the iTunes source list.

2Drag a song or other item to iPod nano in the source list.

To remove a song, video, or other item from iPod nano:

1In iTunes, select iPod nano in the source list.

2Select a song or other item on iPod nano and press the Delete or Backspace key on your keyboard.

If you manually remove a song or other item from iPod nano, it isn’t deleted from your iTunes library.
