38 Chapter 3 Video Features
Important: The first time you connect iPod classic to a different computer and have the
automatic sync option set, a message asks if you want to sync songs and videos
automatically. If you accept, all songs, videos, and other items are deleted from
iPod classic and replaced with the songs, videos, and other items in the iTunes library
on that computer. If you don’t accept, you can still add videos to iPod classic manually
without deleting any of the videos already on iPod classic.
iTunes includes a feature to sync purchased items from iPod classic to another
computer. For more information, see iTunes Help.
While videos are being synced from your computer to iPod classic, the iTunes status
window shows progress and the iPod classic icon in the source list flashes red.
When the update is done, a message in iTunes says “iPod update is complete.”
Syncing Selected Videos to iPod classic
Setting iTunes to sync selected videos to iPod classic is useful if you have more videos
