Manually Managing Content The manually managing feature lets you choose just the music, videos, and podcasts you want to have on iPod touch. Set up iPod touch for manually managing content: 1 Connect iPod touch to your computer. 2 In iTunes, select iPod touch in the sidebar. 3 Click Summary at the top of the screen and select "Manually manage music and videos." 4 Click Apply. Add items to iPod touch: Drag a song, video, podcast, or playlist in your iTunes library to iPod touch (in the sidebar). Shift-click or Command-click (Mac) or Control-click (Windows) to select multiple items to add at the same time. iTunes syncs the content immediately. If you deselect "Manually manage music and videos," the content you added manually is removed from iPod touch the next time iTunes syncs content. Remove items from iPod touch: With iPod touch connected to your computer, select iPod touch in the iTunes sidebar, and click its disclosure triangle to show contents. Select a content area, such as Music or Movies, then select the items you want to delete and press the Delete key on the keyboard. Removing an item from iPod touch doesn't delete it from your iTunes library. Note: Genius does not work if you manually manage content. See "Using Genius on iPod touch" on page 59. Transferring Purchased Content to Another Computer You can transfer content on iPod touch that was purchased using iTunes on one computer to an iTunes library on another authorized computer. The computer must be authorized to play content from your Apple account. To authorize the computer, open iTunes on the computer and choose Store > Authorize Computer. Transfer purchased content: Connect iPod touch to the other computer. In iTunes, choose File > Transfer Purchases from iPod touch. Chapter 4 Syncing and File Sharing 51
