How do I put music on my Apple iPod?I've just bought a new Apple iPod Mini and am really excited about getting started loading my music onto it, but I can't figure out how to do so! Windows Media Player can synchronize music with the iPod, but the iPod itself doesn't then seem to know the music is there. HELP! This is a surprisingly common question for new iPod owners who are using Microsoft Windows on their PC, and the basic answer is that you must use Apple iTunes to get music onto your iPod. Windows Media Player can see the iPod, but only as a hard disk, the section on the iPod where the music is stored is "hidden" and only iTunes knows how to get to it. Let me take you through the steps of getting some music onto an Apple iPod with iTunes on a Windows XP system, then I'll show you quickly why WMP can't do the same thing. The first time you plug your iPod into your PC via the included USB cable, you'll probably see something like this:  What's happened is that the underlying drivers for this class of device have been updated by Microsoft and the changes have been automatically applied - thankfully! - but you need to reboot. Do so, and then the next time you start up, your iPod will not generate any messages of this nature. Now you really need to get a recent copy of iTunes onto your PC. There's a CDROM that's included with your iPod that has the iTunes program thereon, but if you don't want to mess with that, you can simply go to apple.com/itunes to download the latest version. The next step is to actually launch the iTunes program. If you don't have the very latest version, you might well see this dialog window:  Generally, it's a good idea to make sure you always have the latest version, so click "yes" and it'll pop up your Web browser and take you directly to the download page, at which point you want to enter your email address, uncheck any boxes to skip certain types of email, and start the download:  I always uncheck these boxes, personally, as I already get too darn much email, but you might enjoy learning about free music available from the popular iTunes Music Store, etc., as indicated. Either way, eventually you'll be able to launch iTunes and have it start up, rather than ask you to do other stuff. At that point it will recognize the iPod that you've plugged in and step you through the registration process. It'll look like this:  You can stick with the default name for your device, but I always try to pick something more fun. For this 30GB iPod Video, I'm going to call it "MicroTV", because, well, it's a pretty tiny video screen. I also uncheck "automatically update music" because I like to control what happens to my iPod manually rather than have things magically occur and then not be what I want. You may find that having iTunes sync your iPod automatically works better for you, however. When you're done with this configuration step, click "Next" and you'll see:  If you're so inclined, register your iPod, or just click "Finish". Now, finally, you can see iTunes in all its glory:  All the colorful material in the middle is from the Apple iTunes Music Store. On the left side column, notice all the various categories of music and content, very similar to Microsoft Windows Media Player. Just below the Music Store, however, is what we seek. It says "MicroTV", as that's the name of my iPod. Click on this entry, whatever name you've given your own iPod, and you'll see your music list, which is completely blank:  Now click on the "Library" link also on the left column and you'll see what albums or music you've ripped or otherwise copied into your iTunes library. If you haven't ripped any CDs, put one into your computer and click on the "Import" button in iTunes that'll show up. On this particular computer, I've already ripped a few audio CDs, as you can see:  There's a much nicer way to explore the music, however. Click on the "Browse" button on the top right (it looks like an all-seeing eye) and a new panel will show up that lists genre, artists and albums too:  I'm going to go ahead and copy my jazz album, by Jeff Lorber, onto my iPod. I do that by clicking on the "Jazz" genre, then dragging and dropping that onto the name of the iPod on the left side. Then I can see the music being copied onto the iPod itself:  Doesn't take very long, and once it's done, I can eject my iPod and start enjoying the tiny music player. However, let's have a quick peek at the basic iPod configuration while it's still plugged in by clicking on the "iPod Preferences" button on the bottom of the window:  The preferences look like this:  You can probably leave them all as-is, but that's how you get to them if you want to change anything about your iPod. At this point we're done. The easiest way to disconnect the iPod from your computer is to click on the little "eject" button, but before we do, let's have a very quick look at how Windows Media Player sees the iPod and why it's so darn hard to get music from WMP to an iPod.  WMP certainly doesn't show a "MicroTV" option to make life easy. Click on the "Sync" button, however, and you'll see that it can indeed see the iPod that's plugged in:  This is deceptive, though, because the section of the iPod that holds the music that the iPod player itself can access isn't what's listed. The iPod can serve as a convenient and portable hard disk, and it's that section of the device that WMP can access. Copy music and it'll be accessible by another Windows system, but the iPod itself won't see it. Not good! To actually get music out of WMP and onto an iPod involves some conversion and fiddling around, as detailed here: Convert WMA into MP3 for use with iPods. Let's go back to iTunes, however, and eject the iPod. That's done by clicking on the tiny upward triangle adjacent to the iPod name:  Now the device is disconnected and you can unplug it, plug in some headphones or earbuds and enjoy your music! Working with the iPod ItselfThe easiest way to do that? Push the play button once on your iPod to wake it up, and you'll see this:  Now use the scrollwheel to highlight either "Playlists", "Artists", "Albums", "Songs" or "Genres", the push the button in the middle of the scrollwheel to select that choice:  I'll select "songs", and here's what I see:  Now I can pick a specific song by again using the scrollwheel, then click "OK" (the button in the middle of the wheel) and the song starts playing:  And now, let's relax with our own personal jam! Hope that helps you get up to speed with the iPod. You'll find it gets a lot easier to work with after a few minutes of fiddling around.

Then when you hook up the new iPod it'll ask if you want to "pair" it to your computer. Say yes, and when it's done, you should be able to drag and drop all your music from your library onto the iPod entry in iTunes and copy it all across. If you're talking about two COMPUTERS, then, again, you can use the iPod as the carrier, or you can use a program like ipodcopy (see download.com for a copy) or Senuti (Mac version). Posted by: Dave Taylor at December 15, 2006 10:01 AMmy computer isn compadable for itunes does that mean i cant use my new ipod nano at all?

THERE IS NO CHANGE TO THE ITUNES WINDOW NOR CAN I FIND A PREFEWRENCES BUTTON. THANKS How do you marry two songs, such as "We will rock you" and "We are the Champions" by Queen so that the songs always play consecutively as originally intended. I didn't find a response to this question in other articles. Thanks, I've had an iPod mini for the past 3 years and I had to buy some kind of new iPod because my mini is broken. So I got this 30GB iPod and I have all my music on it, but I try to put music videos onto it and it says "ACDC - Highway To Hell" was not copied to the iPod "Mariah's iPod" because it cannot be played on this iPod" WHAT THE HECK DOES THAT MEAN? How can I make it so I can watch my music videos?? Posted by: Mariah at February 28, 2007 8:40 PMThat's an interesting question! I think that if you're talking about two MP3 files, you can just open them up in something like Audacity, join them, then resave it as a new MP3 file that you can import back into iTunes. If it's an AAC or Apple's proprietary iTunes format, you might be stuck. :-0 You can find Audacity at http://www.versiontracker.com/ [it's a Mac and PC app, btw] Posted by: Dave Taylor at February 28, 2007 10:41 PMhow do u get the "do not disconnect" of the screen of ur ipod while its charging?

I try to drag the songs from my library to my ipod but that no entry sign won't let me. I also cant seem to delete the songs that are on my ipod that I dont want anymore. Please help.... Posted by: Naz at April 16, 2007 11:19 PMThe main reason that you get the "no entry" sign, in my experience, is that you've configured your iPod to automatically sync with one or more playlists. If you do that, you can't just drag additional music or videos onto the device. Instead, you need to go into the iTunes preferences area for your iPod and set it to "manually manage songs and playlists" then you can drag and drop to your heart's content!

Mr. Irby, you want to check out a slick program called Senuti (see versiontracker.com for a download link) which will let you copy the music from your iPod to your Mac without using iTunes.

I have looked all over and cant find an answer. Basically I have no problem uploading music onto my ipod. However I have an audio book. It is converted into MP3 format. When I try to add it to Itunes there is no response its as if I didnt try to add anything at all. I tried the drag and drop- no response, tried file add- no response. I even tried to play around with configurations (the files properties are 80kbps so I went into Itunes and selected 80kbps again no response. This is difficult to figure out whats wrong since I dont get any error messages not even an hourglass saying its loading nothing at all. All it does is right after I drop it into itunes nothing happens. Is there a way to solve this I am running XP on a PC. The file is an audiobook in MP3 format and runs absolutely fine on Windows Media Player. Itunes even changed the files icon to the Itunes icon but it doesnt respond to it even when I double click on the file to play the file. The file does have two languages in it- I mean its a learning spanish file so theres english and spanish. Your help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Posted by: Zinky at June 4, 2007 8:22 AMhey well i just got a ipod nano and i followed your instructions and it still says i have no music even after i downloaded it not to mention my cds i had converted and it wont work did i do something wrong or is it just the ipod Posted by: makia at June 5, 2007 8:38 PMHi, I have a 40 GB white IPOD and when I connect it to my laptop, it says do not disconnect with a circle and line inside flashing....I want to down load music; but what do I do? How can I get this "Do not disconnect" OFF? Thanks in advance Alma :) Posted by: Alma at June 6, 2007 10:10 AMAlma, you need to have Apple's iTunes program running on your computer when you hook up your iPod. That lets you synchronize music and "eject" the iPod when you're done so the "do not disconnect" message goes away! You can grab a copy of the software for free at mr taylor i have an apple ipod nano but i dnt know hw to downlaod music and video clips inside.plz help me out. Posted by: joseph at June 30, 2007 3:58 AMeverytime i connect my 30gb ipod into my computer,all it does is charge and im trying to put music on it but it doesnt say "DO NOT DISCONNECT" and when I plug the USB cord into the computer it says theres an unknown usb and when I plug the ipod into my other computer it detects the component and says "DO NOT DISCONNECT". I hope this makes sense and if it does...can you help me? Posted by: Mikal at July 2, 2007 12:51 AMI was wondering the song that you buy with itunes can be put on to my ipod.

Posted by: Mac at July 12, 2007 2:17 PMMac, yes you can. If you're on a PC, go to download.com and grab a copy of "ipodcopy" from there, and if you're on a Mac, get "Senuti" from versiontracker.com. They offer the same basic functionality and I've written about both here on my blog too.

However now i have a new computer which i have downloaded itunes onto but it wont let me delete my old songs, please help. I have to say that I f'ing LOVE you. I love you, I love you, I love you. I just bought an iPod (30GB; video) and I couldn't figure out how to put songs on it, so I decided on burning discs, then just putting them on the iPod. Well, I'm pretty much kinda stupid sometimes, and the new iTunes (7) confused me wayyy much. Then, I found the sync button, and it's SO MUCH EASIER THAN THE CD TRANSFERING. Just download songs from limewire (or something), drag them from the folder that they're in and into the iTunes library, then hit "sync" when you click your iPod's name(go to the music tab, and make sure that you have it set to manually editing your songs.) I was saved, but I wouldn't have figured it out AT ALL if it weren't for you. I love you, I love you, I lovpefajoifj;lkafh lkagndsalfj. <3 Thankyou sosososososososoososososososososososososo much!!
