Note: If “Only sync checked items” is selected in the Summary pane, iTunes syncs only
items that are checked in your TV Shows and other libraries.
Managing Videos Manually
Setting iTunes to let you manage iPod classic manually gives you the most flexibility for
managing videos on iPod classic. You can add and remove movies, TV shows, and other
items individually. You can also add videos from multiple computers to iPod classic
without removing videos already on iPod classic. See “Managing iPod classic Manually”
on page 25.
Adding Video Podcasts to iPod classic
You add video podcasts to iPod classic the same way you add other podcasts (see
page 26). If a podcast has a video component, the video plays when you choose it from
Podcasts.
If you set iTunes to manage movies and TV shows manually, you can reset iTunes later
to sync them automatically. If you set iTunes to sync automatically after you’ve been
manually managing iPod classic, you lose any items on iPod classic that aren’t part of
your iTunes library.
To reset iTunes to sync all movies automatically on iPod classic:
1 In iTunes, select iPod classic in the source list and click the Movies tab.
2 Select “Sync movies” and then select “All movies.”
3 Click Apply.
Note: If “Only sync checked items” is selected in the Summary pane, iTunes syncs only
items that are checked in your Movies and other libraries.
To reset iTunes to sync all TV shows automatically on iPod classic:
1 In iTunes, select iPod classic in the source list and click the TV Shows tab.
2 Select “Sync … episodes” and choose “all” from the pop-up menu.
3 Select “All TV shows.”
4 Click Apply.
Note: If “Only sync checked items” is selected in the Summary pane, iTunes syncs only
items that are checked in your TV Shows and other libraries.
Viewing and Listening to Videos
You can view and listen to videos on iPod classic. If you have an AV cable from Apple
(available separately at www.apple.com/ipodstore), you can watch videos from
iPod classic on TV.
