Add videos to your library
Buy or rent videos on the iTunes Store. Tap Store in the Videos app, or open the iTunes Store
app on iPod touch and tap Videos. See Chapter 22, iTunes Store, on page 91. Videos you purchase
using your iTunes account are available in Videos on iPod touch, no matter which iOS device or
computer you use to purchase them. The iTunes Store is not available in all areas.
Transfer videos from your computer. Connect iPod touch, then sync videos from iTunes on your
computer. See Sync with iTunes on page 17.
Stream videos from your computer. Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer. Then,
on iPod touch, go to Settings > Videos and enter the Apple ID and password you used to set up
Home Sharing on your computer. Then open Videos on iPod touch and tap Shared at the top of
the list of videos.
Convert a video to work with iPod touch. If you try to sync a video from iTunes to iPod touch
and a message says the video can’t play on iPod touch, you can convert the video. Select the
video in your iTunes library and choose File > Create New Version > “Create iPod or iPhone
Version.” Then sync the converted video to iPod touch.
Delete a video. Tap Edit in the upper right of your collection. To delete an individual episode of a
series, swipe left on the episode in the Episodes list. Deleting a video (other than a rented movie)
from iPod touch doesn’t delete it from the iTunes library on your computer, and you can sync the
video back to iPod touch later. If you don’t want to sync the video back to iPod touch, set iTunes
to not sync the video. See Sync with iTunes on page 17.
Important: If you delete a rented movie from iPod touch, it’s deleted permanently and cannot be
transferred back to your computer.
