While music is being downloaded from your computer to iPod, the iTunes status
window shows progress, and the iPod icon in the Source list flashes red.
When the download is complete, a message in iTunes says “iPod update is complete.”
If you set iTunes to download music manually (see “Updating iPod Manually” on
page 23), you can reset it later to update iPod automatically.
To reset iTunes to update iPod automatically with all songs and playlists:
1 Open iTunes and select iPod in the Source list.
2 Click the Options button and click Music.
3 Select “Automatically update all songs and playlists.”
The download begins automatically.

1 Open iTunes and select iPod in the Source list.
2 Click the Options button and click Music.
