Congratulations, you just received a shiny new iPod Nano, iPod Shuffle, iPod Touch or iPod Classic as a present from someone, someone who was willing to pony up the big bucks for a gift. Nothing to complain about. Except, of course, if you’re not yet part of the iPod world, someone who has already figured out the basics of getting music on and off the device.
If that’s you, we’ve got ya covered. This tutorial will show you how to get music onto your iPod from your computer using iTunes 11, then it’ll also show you how to perform the reverse trick: get music off your iPod and onto your computer.
Why both? Sometimes you just want to grab songs off someone else’s iPod, or off an old iPod of your own, and perhaps that device is no longer sync’d to your current computer.
