How to create an iTunes account

An iTunes account (commonly referred to as an Apple ID) is among the most useful and versatile things you can have if you own an iOS device or Mac. It gives you access to all of the music, movies, and other content that you purchase from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. It also lets you sync all of your devices, so that your music, movies, and other content is available on whatever device you’re using. Plus, it allows you to shop for new content from any of your devices.

7. Tap OK when asked if you’d like to receive emails from Apple about special offers and updates; This is optional and can be changed later in your account settings
8. You may be asked to verify your account via email; Follow the instructions in the verification email to complete setup

How to listen to music on your iPod

Most people know how to buy music on iTunes and get it onto their iPod, but some might not know how to transfer music from their iPod back to iTunes. Here are some quick and easy instructions on how to do just that.

First, connect your iPod to your computer using the USB cable that came with your iPod. Once it is connected, open up iTunes. On the left side of the iTunes window, under “Devices,” you should see your iPod listed. Select it.

Now, go to the “Library” section on the left side of the iTunes window. This is where all of the music files that are currently on your computer are stored. Find the song or album that you want to transfer to your iPod and drag it over to your iPod’s icon in the “Devices” section. The song will now start transferring over to your iPod.

You can also transfer entire playlists by selecting them in the “Library” section and dragging them over to your iPod’s icon in the “Devices” section. This can be a quick way to transfer a bunch of songs at once rather than doing them one by one.

Once the songs are done transferring, you can eject your iPod from iTunes by clicking on the eject button next to its name in the “Devices” section, or by going up to “File” in the menu bar and choosing “Eject [your iPod’s name].”
