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 podcasts 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 get 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, and podcasts.
Set iTunes to sync iPod content automatically:
1 Connect iPod touch to your computer.
2 In iTunes, select iPod touch in the sidebar.
3 On the Music, Movies, TV Shows, and Podcasts tabs, select the content you want
to transfer 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.
4 Click 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 136.
