The iPod is a device made by Apple, just as a Mac computer is. The iPod, iPodTouch, iPhone, and iPads connect to the Mac with a USB cable. Depending on the age of the device, the cable may differ. Plug the device into the Mac using the Cable. They don't need to be 'installed' on the Mac.

The device is organized using iTunes. It will appear in iTunes. Music, Audiobooks, Apps, and Tones and other files are put on the device by selecting the type of media, and checking which files you want on the device, and then clicking the "SYNC" icon.

All you have to do is use the USB to connect it.

Some i-pods are tricky. For some i-pods, when you connect them, you should make sure it's on the main menu with no music playing and the i-pod on 'sleep' otherwise it might get stuck.

(PS: this problem may only occur for the older i-pods)

If you've genuinely bought the songs from iTunes Store to your iPod, you should be able to transfer purchases without any problems, as long as you authorize your new computer with the same iTunes account that you bought your songs with.

To link an old iPod to your computer find your USB cord. Plug the cord into the USB slot on the computer and the other end into the iPod. Download and install iTunes if you want to access your media.
