Important: The first time you connect iPod nano to a different computer and have the automatic sync option set, a message asks if you want to sync songs and videos automatically. If you accept, all songs, videos, and other items are deleted from

iPod nano and replaced with the songs, videos, and other items in the iTunes library on that computer. If you don’t accept, you can still add videos to iPod nano manually without deleting any of the videos already on iPod nano.

iTunes includes a feature to sync purchased items from iPod nano to another computer. For more information, see iTunes Help.

While videos are being synced from your computer to iPod nano, the iTunes status window shows progress and the iPod nano icon in the source list flashes red.

When the update is done, a message in iTunes says “iPod update is complete.”

Syncing Selected Videos to iPod nano

Setting iTunes to sync selected videos to iPod nano is useful if you have more videos in your iTunes library than will fit on iPod nano. Only the videos you specify are synced with iPod nano. You can sync selected videos or selected playlists that contain videos.

To set iTunes to sync unwatched or selected movies to iPod nano:

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

2Select “Sync movies.”

3Select the movies or playlists you want.

Unwatched movies: Select “… unwatched movies” and choose the number you want from the pop-up menu.

Selected movies or playlists: Click “Selected …,” choose “movies” or “playlists” from the pop-up menu, and then select the movies or playlists you want.

4Click Apply.

If “Only sync checked items” is selected in the Summary pane, iTunes syncs only movies that are checked.

To set iTunes to sync most recent episodes or selected TV shows to iPod nano:

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

2Select “Sync … episodes” and choose the number of episodes you want from the pop-up menu.
