Adding iTunes U content to iPod classic

The settings for adding iTunes U content to iPod classic are unrelated to the settings for adding other content. iTunes U settings don’t affect other settings, and vice versa. You can set iTunes to automatically sync all or selected iTunes U content, or you can add iTunes U content to iPod classic manually.

Set iTunes to update the iTunes U content on iPod classic automatically:

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

2In the iTunes U pane, select “Sync iTunes U.”

3Select the collections and items you want, and set your sync options.

4Click Apply.

When you set iTunes to sync iTunes U content automatically, iPod classic is updated each time you connect it to your computer.

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

Adding audiobooks to iPod classic

You can purchase and download audiobooks from the iTunes Store or audible.com, or import audiobooks from CDs, and listen to them on iPod classic.

Use iTunes to add audiobooks to iPod classic. If you sync iPod classic automatically, all audiobooks in your iTunes library are included in a playlist named Audiobooks, which you can sync to iPod classic. If you manage your content on iPod classic manually, you can add audiobooks one at a time.
