Create Versions of Your Own Videos to Work with iPod nano
You can view other video files on iPod nano, such as videos you create in iMovie on a Mac or videos you download from the Internet. Import the video into iTunes, convert it for use with iPod nano, if necessary, and then add it to iPod nano. iTunes supports many of the video formats that QuickTime supports. For more information, see If you cant add a song or other item to iPod nano on page 89. Some videos may be ready for use with iPod nano after you import them to iTunes. If you try to add a video to iPod nano (see Syncing Videos Automatically on page 27), and a message says the video cant play on iPod nano, then you must convert the video for use with iPod nano. Depending on the length and content of a video, converting it for use with iPod nano can take several minutes to several hours. When you create a version of a video for use with iPod nano, the original video also remains in your iTunes library. For more about converting video for iPod nano, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help, or go to www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n302758.
Adding Music, Videos, and Other Content to iPod nano
After your music and video are imported and organized in iTunes, you can easily add them to iPod nano. To manage how music, videos, photos, and other content are added to iPod nano from your computer, you connect iPod nano to your computer, and then use iTunes to choose iPod nano settings.
Connecting iPod nano to a Computer for the First Time
The first time you connect iPod nano to your computer (after installing iTunes), iTunes opens automatically and the iPod nano Setup Assistant appears:
To use the iPod nano Setup Assistant: 1 Enter a name for iPod nano. This is the name that will appear in the device list on the left side of the iTunes window.
2 Select your settings. Automatic syncing and VoiceOver are selected by default. If you dont want to enable VoiceOver at this time, deselect Enable VoiceOver. If you change your mind, you can enable VoiceOver any time you connect iPod nano to your computer. See Setting Up VoiceOver on page 32. 3 Click Done. If you selected to enable VoiceOver during setup, follow any onscreen instructions for downloading and installing the VoiceOver Kit. For more information, see Using VoiceOver in iPod nano on page 44. To learn how to set up VoiceOver in iPod nano, see Setting Up VoiceOver on page 32.

2 Select Sync music, and then choose Selected playlists, artists, and genres. 3 Select the playlists you want. 4 To include music videos, select Include music videos. 5 To set iTunes to automatically fill any remaining space on iPod nano, select Automatically fill free space with songs. 6 Click Apply. If Sync only checked songs and videos is selected in the Summary pane, iTunes syncs only items that are checked.
Syncing Genius Playlists and Genius Mixes to iPod nano
You can set iTunes to sync Genius playlists and Genius Mixes to iPod nano. Genius Mixes can only be synced automatically. You cant add Genius Mixes to iPod nano if you manage your content manually. Genius playlists can be added manually to iPod nano. If you select any Genius Mixes to sync, iTunes may select and sync additional songs from your library that you didnt select.
To set iTunes to sync Genius playlists and selected Genius Mixes to iPod nano: 1 In iTunes, select iPod nano in the device list and click the Music tab. 2 Select Sync music, and then choose Selected playlists, artists, and genres. 3 Under Playlists, select the Genius playlists and Genius Mixes you want. 4 Click Apply.

If Sync only checked songs and videos is selected in the Summary pane, iTunes syncs only items that are checked.
Adding Videos to iPod nano
You add movies and TV shows to iPod nano much the same way you add songs. You can set iTunes to sync all movies and TV shows to iPod nano automatically when you connect iPod nano, or you can set iTunes to sync only selected playlists. Alternatively, you can manage movies and TV shows manually. Using this option, you can add videos from more than one computer without erasing videos already on iPod nano. Note: Music videos are managed with songs, under the Music tab in iTunes. See Adding Music, Videos, and Other Content to iPod nano on page 24. Important: You can view a rented movie on only one device at a time. For example, if you rent a movie from the iTunes Store and add it to iPod nano, you can only view it on iPod nano. If you transfer the movie back to iTunes, you can only view it there and not on iPod nano. All standard time limits apply to rented movies added to iPod nano.
Syncing Videos Automatically
By default, iPod nano is set to sync all movies and TV shows when you connect it to your computer. This is the simplest way to add videos to iPod nano. You just connect iPod nano to your computer, let it add videos and other items automatically, and then disconnect it and go. If you added any videos to iTunes since the last time you connected iPod nano, theyre added to iPod nano. If you deleted videos from iTunes, theyre removed from iPod nano. If there isnt enough space on iPod nano for all your videos, you can set iTunes to sync only the videos you specify. You can sync selected videos or selected playlists that contain videos. The settings for syncing movies and TV shows are unrelated. Movie settings dont affect TV show settings, and vice versa.

2 In the iTunes U pane, select Sync iTunes U. 3 Select the collections, items, and playlists you want, and set your sync options. 4 Click Apply. When you set iTunes to sync iTunes U content automatically, iPod nano is updated each time you connect it to your computer.

Adding Audiobooks to iPod nano
You can purchase and download audiobooks from the iTunes Store or audible.com, or import audiobooks from CDs, and listen to them on iPod nano. Use iTunes to add audiobooks to iPod nano. If you sync iPod nano automatically, all audiobooks in your iTunes library are included in a playlist named Audiobooks, which you can sync to iPod nano. If you manage your content on iPod nano manually, you can add audiobooks one at a time.
To sync audiobooks to iPod nano: 1 In iTunes, select iPod nano in the device list and click the Music tab.
2 Select Sync Music, and then do one of the following: Select Entire music library. Select Selected playlists, artists, and genres, and then select Audiobooks (below Playlists). 3 Click Apply. The update begins automatically.

Managing iPod nano Manually

You can also add music and video from multiple computers to iPod nano without erasing items already on iPod nano.

To set iTunes to manage content on iPod nano manually: 1 In iTunes, select iPod nano in the device list and click the Summary tab.
