How to Sync an iPod to a New Computer With Windows 7


1. Connect your new computer to the Internet if you haven't already done so.
2. Download iTunes from the Internet. Make sure the version that you download is as new as possible; older versions might not work as well on Windows 7. You can find a link to version 10.1 in the 'Resources' section at the bottom of this page. This version is compatible with Windows 7.
3. Install iTunes on your new PC. Double-click the file that you downloaded and follow the installation instructions. Once you have installed it, open it up.
4. Click 'File' in the top, left corner of iTunes, and then click 'Add folder to library.' Select the folder that contains your music, videos or any other content that you want to sync with your iPod, then click 'OK.' Your files will start transferring to your iTunes library. The time this takes varies depending on the amount of files you are adding to iTunes.
5. Plug your iPod into a USB port on your computer. It will appear in the sidebar of iTunes. Click on it and the iPod options will appear in the main window. iTunes will start automatically syncing all of your content to your iPod.
6. Click the 'Summary' tab, and click the checkbox that says 'Manually manage music and videos,' then click 'Apply' if you want to choose which files to sync with your iPod.
7. Highlight the files that you want to sync with your iPod and drag them over to your iPod in the sidebar. To select more than one file, hold the 'Ctrl' button on your keyboard and click all the files that you want to highlight.
8. Unplug your iPod from your computer when you have finished syncing your files.
