How do you transfer music from iTunes to the iPod Touch?

Answer 1

First, you need to have iTunes 8.0 or later and a charging cable for your iPod Touch (iTunes 8.0 or later is required to work with the iPod Touch). Here is a step-by-step process on how to transfer music from iTunes to your iPod Touch:

1. Connect your iPod Touch to the computer, and then open iTunes.
2. Wait for iTunes to recognize your iPod Touch, which will show in the navigation bar at the left.
3. Go to Music in the navigation bar.
4. Select all music you wish to transfer to the iPod Touch.
   
5. (Optional) On a PC, you can choose individual separate songs in a group by holding the Control (Ctrl) key and clicking all songs you want to choose. On a Mac, you can choose individual separate songs in a group by holding the Command/Apple key while clicking on all songs you want to choose.
6. Click and drag one highlighted song (if a group is selected, it will drag the rest with it) onto the iPod menu in the navigation bar.
7. Wait for it to transfer the music. Depending on how much music you are transferring, it can take anywhere from a few seconds to five minutes or more.
8. After syncing is done (which you can tell by looking at your iPod Touch screen because it shows the word 'Sync in Progress' if it is syncing) you have successfully transferred music to your iPod Touch.
   
9. To insure a safe and complete disconnection, click the eject button next to the iPod Touch menu in the navigation bar. Once the iPod Touch menu disappears, it is safe to remove the cord.
10. Now just listen to your iPod Touch!
