Managing Videos Manually

Setting iTunes to let you manage iPod nano manually gives you the most flexibility for managing videos on iPod nano. You can add and remove movies, TV shows, and other items individually. You can also add videos from multiple computers to iPod nano without removing videos already on iPod nano. See “Managing iPod nano Manually” on page 29.

If you set iTunes to manage movies and TV shows manually, you can reset iTunes later to sync them automatically. If you set iTunes to sync automatically after you’ve been manually managing iPod nano, you lose any items on iPod nano that aren’t part of your iTunes library.

To set iTunes to sync all movies automatically on iPod nano:

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

2Select “Sync movies” and then select “All movies.”

3Click Apply.

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

To set iTunes to sync all TV shows automatically on iPod nano:

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

2Select “Sync … episodes” and choose “all” from the pop-up menu.

3Select “All TV shows.”

4Click Apply.

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

Adding Video Podcasts to iPod nano

You add video podcasts to iPod nano the same way you add other podcasts

(see “Adding Podcasts to iPod nano” on page 30). If a podcast has a video component, the video plays when you choose it from Podcasts.
