34 Chapter 3 Video Features
While videos are being synced from your computer to iPod, the iTunes status window
shows progress, and the iPod icon in the Source pane flashes red.
When the update is done, a message in iTunes says “iPod update is complete.”
If you set iTunes to manage movies and TV shows manually, you can reset iTunes later
to sync them automatically. If you set iTunes to sync automatically after you’ve been
manually managing iPod, you lose any items on iPod that are not part of your library.
To reset iTunes to sync all movies automatically on iPod:
1 In iTunes, select iPod in the Source pane and click the Movies tab.
2 Select “Sync movies” and then select “All movies.”
3 Click Apply.
Note: If “Only sync checked items” is selected in the Summary pane, iTunes syncs only
items that are checked in your Movies and other libraries.
To reset iTunes to sync all TV shows automatically on iPod:
1 In iTunes, select iPod in the Source pane and click the TV Shows tab.
2 Select “Sync … TV show episodes” and choose “all” from the pop-up menu.

4 Click Apply.
Note: If “Only sync checked items” is selected in the Summary pane, iTunes syncs only
items that are checked in your TV Shows and other libraries.
Syncing Selected Videos to iPod
Setting iTunes to sync selected videos to iPod is useful if you have more videos in your
iTunes library than will fit on iPod. Only the videos you specify are loaded onto iPod.
You can sync selected videos or selected playlists that contain videos. You can also sync
the most recent videos and only videos you haven’t watched.
To set iTunes to sync unwatched or selected movies to iPod:
1 In iTunes, select iPod in the Source pane and click the Movies tab.
2 Select “Sync movies.”
3 Select the movies or playlists you want.
Unwatched movies: Select “… unwatched movies” and choose the number you want
from the pop-up menu.
Selected movies or playlists: Click “Selected …,” choose “movies” or “playlists” from the
pop-up menu, and then select the movies or playlists you want.
4 Click Apply.
