iPod is a versatile portable music player. You can sync your iPod with your iTunes library so that you can listen to your music while you're on the go. You can also add photos, video, and games to some iPod models.
By default, iTunes automatically syncs your iPod when you connect it to your computer; you can change settings so that you can add items manually. Depending on the type of iPod you have, you may also be able to synchronize contact and calendar information from your computer.
The latest iTunes can be free downloaded from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
How to sync songs/music to iPod with iTunes - Adding songs to iPod automatically
You can set up iTunes so that when you connect your iPod to your computer, the songs and playlists on your iPod automatically update to match the iTunes library on your computer.
Step 1. Connect your iPod to your computer.
Step 2. When the iPod icon appears in the iTunes window (below Devices), select it.
Step 3. If the Summary pane isn't showing, click the Summary tab.
Step 4. Make sure that "Manually manage music" is not selected. (If you have an iPod that displays video, the checkbox says "Manually manage music and video.")
Step 5. Click the Music tab and do one of the following:
- To automatically update your iPod with all the songs and playlists in your library, select "Sync music" and then select "All songs and playlists."
- To automatically update your iPod with only certain playlists, select "Sync music" and "Selected playlists," and then select the playlists you want synchronized.
To sync only items in your library that have a checkmark next to them, click the Summary tab and select "Only sync checked items."
After you sync, if you add songs or playlists to your iTunes library before you disconnect the iPod, choose "File > Sync iPod to update it again".
You can sync your iPod with only one iTunes library at a time. To use your iPod with more than one computer, set up iTunes to manage songs manually. You also might want to manage songs manually if your iTunes library has more music than your iPod can hold.
