22 Chapter 2 Music Features
While music is being loaded from your computer onto iPod, the iTunes status window
shows progress, and the iPod icon in the Source pane flashes red.
When the update is done, a message in iTunes says “iPod update is complete.”
If you set iTunes to manage music manually, you can reset it later to sync automatically.
To reset iTunes to sync all music automatically on iPod:
1 In iTunes, select iPod in the Source pane and click the Music tab.
2 Select “Sync music” and then choose “All songs and playlists.”
3 Click Apply.
The update begins automatically.
Note: If “Only sync checked items” is selected in the Summary pane, iTunes syncs only
items that are checked in your Music and other libraries.
Syncing Music From Selected Playlists onto iPod
Setting iTunes to sync selected playlists to iPod is useful if the music in your iTunes
library doesn’t all fit on iPod. Only the music in the playlists you select is synced to iPod.
To set iTunes to sync music from selected playlists onto iPod:
1 In iTunes, select iPod in the Source pane and click the Music tab.
2 Select “Sync music” and then choose “Selected playlists.”
3 Select the playlists you want.
4 To include music videos and display album artwork, select those options.
5 Click Apply.
Note: If “Only sync checked items” is selected in the Summary pane, iTunes syncs only
items that are checked in your Music and other libraries.
Managing iPod Manually
Setting iTunes to let you manage iPod manually gives you the most flexibility for
managing music and video on iPod. You can add and remove individual songs
(including music videos) and videos (movies and TV shows). Also, you can load music
and videos from multiple computers to iPod without erasing items already on iPod.
Note: Setting iPod to manually manage music and video turns off the automatic sync
options in the Music, Movies, and TV Shows panes. You cannot manually manage one
and automatically sync another at the same time.
To set iTunes to let you manage music and video on iPod manually:
1 In iTunes, select iPod in the Source pane and click the Summary tab.
2 In the Options section, select “Manually manage music and video.”
3 Click Apply.
