the way to update my nano

last post: I had an ipod Nano before I bough the Ipod classic and I want to update my nano for my mother.

When you plug your iPod Nano into your computer, a screen will pop up on iTunes that should have a picture of your iPod nano and on the bottom there should be a horizontal bar. This bar indicates how much space is left on your Nano. Blue is for audio files like music, podcasts, audiobooks, etc. Purple is for video like movies, tv shows, and music videos. (If the Nano you have is an older Nano, you probably can't get video onto the iPod.) Yellow is for pictures and orange is for other files. Above that bar there should be a box that says "Sync only checked items to iPod" If you click this, the iPod will sync only the songs in your music library that are checked. If they aren't checked, they don't go onto the Nano. Go back to your music library, uncheck the majority of your songs and the rest should fit onto the iPod. Being a fellow Nano owner, I can tell you that around 500 songs will fit comfortably. If you ever want to take a song that is currently on the Nano off, just uncheck that unwanted song in your music library and the next time you sync the Nano, the computer will automatically take the song off.One more thing you should knowWhen you import new CD's onto iTunes, they will automatically be checked in your library.Hope this helps.
