Syncing Genius playlists and Genius Mixes to iPod classic

You can set iTunes to sync Genius playlists and Genius Mixes to iPod classic.

Genius playlists can be added to iPod classic manually. Genius Mixes can only be synced automatically, so you can’t add Genius Mixes to iPod classic if you manage your content manually.

If you select any Genius Mixes to sync, iTunes may select and sync additional songs from your library that you didn’t select.

Set iTunes to sync Genius playlists and selected Genius Mixes to iPod classic:

1In iTunes, select iPod classic in the device list and click Music.

2Select “Sync music,” and then choose “Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.”

3Under Playlists, select the Genius playlists and Genius Mixes you want.

4Click Apply.

If you choose to sync your entire music library, iTunes syncs all your Genius playlists and Genius Mixes.

If “Sync only checked songs and videos” is selected in the Summary pane, iTunes syncs only items that are checked.

Adding videos to iPod classic

You add movies and TV shows to iPod classic much the same way you add songs. You can set iTunes to sync all movies and TV shows to iPod classic automatically when you connect iPod classic, or you can set iTunes to sync only selected playlists. Alternatively, you can manage movies and TV shows manually. Using this option, you can add videos from more than one computer without erasing videos already on iPod classic.

Note: Music videos are managed with songs, in the Music pane in iTunes. See Adding music, videos, and other content to iPod classic on page 18.

Important: You can view a rented movie on only one device at a time. So, for example, if you rent a movie from the iTunes Store and add it to iPod classic, you can only view it on iPod classic. If you transfer the movie back to iTunes, you can only watch it there and not on iPod classic. Be aware of the rental expiration date.

Syncing videos automatically

By default, iPod classic is set to sync all videos when you connect it to your computer. This is the simplest way to add videos to iPod classic. You just connect iPod classic to your computer, let it add videos and other items automatically, and then disconnect it and go. If you added any videos to iTunes since the last time you connected iPod classic, they’re added to iPod classic. If you deleted videos from iTunes, they’re removed from iPod classic.

If there isn’t enough space on iPod classic for all your videos, you can set iTunes to sync only the videos you specify. You can sync selected videos or selected playlists that contain videos.

The settings for syncing movies and TV shows are unrelated. Movie settings don’t affect TV show settings, and vice versa.
