Loading Videos onto iPod

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

Note: Music videos are managed with songs, under the Music tab in iTunes. See “Loading Music and Podcasts onto iPod” on page 21.

Syncing Videos Automatically

By default, iPod is set to sync all videos when you connect it to your computer. This is the simplest way to load videos onto iPod. You just connect iPod 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, they are added to iPod. If you deleted videos from iTunes, they are deleted from iPod.

You can set iPod to sync videos automatically when you connect it to your computer.

To sync videos to iPod:

mSimply connect iPod to your computer. If iPod is set to sync automatically, the update begins.

Important: The first time you connect iPod to a different computer and have the automatic sync option set, a message asks if you want to update songs and videos automatically. If you accept, all songs, videos, and other items are deleted from iPod and replaced with the songs, videos, and other items from that computer. If you don’t accept, you can still load videos onto iPod manually without deleting any of the videos already on iPod. iTunes includes a feature to sync purchased items from iPod to another computer. For more information, see iTunes Help.
