iPod touch Settings Panes in iTunes

The following sections provide an overview of each of the iPod touch settings panes. For more information, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.

Summary Pane

Select “Open iTunes when this iPod is connected” to have iTunes open and sync iPod touch automatically whenever you connect it to your computer. Deselect this option if you want to sync only by clicking the Sync button in iTunes. For more information about preventing automatic syncing, see “Preventing Automatic Syncing” on page 10.

Select “Sync only checked songs and videos” if you want to sync only items that are individually checked in your iTunes library.

Select “Manually manage music and videos” to turn off automatic syncing in the Music and Video settings panes. See “Manually Managing Content” on page 30.

Music, Movies, TV Shows, and Podcasts Panes

Use these panes to specify the media you want to sync. You can sync all music, movies, TV shows, and podcasts, or select the playlists and items you want on iPod touch.

If you want to watch rented movies on iPod touch, transfer them to iPod touch using the Movies pane in iTunes.

If there’s not enough room on iPod touch for all the media you’ve specified, iTunes asks if you want to create a special playlist. iTunes creates the playlist for you, and sets it to sync with iPod touch.
