Sync'ing your iPod in iTunes

Using iTunes to sync music and podcasts on your computer is easy to do, and Apple provides several video tutorials to guide you through the process. I'd like to refer you to two: Sync Your Music to Your Ipod, and Subscribe and Listen to Podcasts. Both are part of the iTunes tutorial library.

Sync'ing allows you to automatically update content on your iPod from your iTunes library whenever you connect your iPod to your computer. You've got a lot of control over the ways that your iTunes library and you iPod hook up and update content. However, although you can have more than one iPod sync'd to a computer; your iPod can only be sync'd to one computer at a time. Plugging it into another computer will not automatically delete all the content on your iPod; however, if you choose to link your iPod to that new computer (And you'd have to answer "yes" to a prompt for that to happen.) all your iPod's content will be deleted and replaced with content from the new computer. See the sync your music tutorial for more information.
