Apple MC086LL/A Music and Video, Getting Music, Video, and More, Syncing Content from iTunes

Music and Video 3

iPod touch syncs with iTunes on your computer to get songs, videos, and other content you’ve collected in your iTunes library. For information about adding music and other media to your iTunes library, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.

Getting Music, Video, and More

To get music, video, and other content onto iPod touch, you can set up iTunes on your computer to automatically sync content in your library, or you can manually manage the media you put on iPod touch.

Syncing Content from iTunes

You can transfer music, video, and more onto iPod touch by syncing content from iTunes. You can sync all of your media, or you can select specific songs, videos, podcasts, and iTunes U collections.

Set iTunes to sync iPod content automatically:

1Connect iPod touch to your computer.

2In iTunes, select iPod touch in the sidebar.

3On the Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, and iTunes U tabs, select the content you want to sync to iPod touch. For example, you could set iTunes to sync selected music playlists and the three most recent episodes of your favorite video podcast.

4Click Apply.

Important: If you delete an item from iTunes, it will also be deleted from iPod touch the next time you sync.

Only songs and videos encoded in formats that iPod touch supports are transferred to iPod touch. For information about which formats iPod touch supports, see “Song, Video, or Other Items Won’t Play” on page 153.
