Apple ipod touch first gen 16gb User Guide

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 sync content in your library, or you can manually manage the media you 
put on iPod touch.

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.

  Connect iPod touch to your computer.

  In iTunes, select iPod touch in the sidebar.

  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.

  Click Apply.

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 107.

If there are more songs in your iTunes library than can fit on your iPod touch, iTunes 
offers to create a special playlist to sync with iPod touch. iTunes fills the playlist with 
selections from your library. You can add or delete songs from the playlist and sync 
again.
