Move MP3 files in Music Library to iPod iOS 4.2.1

Hello,

I can add files to my Music Library, but can anyone tell me how I can put them on my iPod 2 Gen iOS 4.2.1? Is it possible to keep them in the same folders I have the MP3 files in on my computer? I even tried "Sync" and it did nothing. I would apprecaite any and all suggestions. I'm not a big iTunes user, but I would like to put the music my mother likes on the iPod and I just bought a Copello Wireless Speaker/Docking system so that she can listen to her music without using those ear plugs and/or head phones.

Thank You.

David

When the iPod is seen by your iTunes Library, look on the Device/Music pane; is it as shown in the screenshot?

  • You need Sync Music "on"
  • If Selected Playlists... is selected, make sure that the new songs are in a Playlist you are syncing and look at the next screenshot
  • If Entire Library is selected, look at the next screenshot

If this option is selected, make sure the songs are ticked:

If you have to change any of these settings, make sure you press the Sync button to ensure these new changes take effect.
