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 specic songs, videos,
podcasts, and iTunes U collections.
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, 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.
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
