How do I put my folders of music on my iPod

Hello
I just brought an iPod Classic
I have installed iTunes
I have the cable
I have the following music folders that are like this
Singer Name
      Albums
Basically Folder 1 is a singer name and then inside folder 1 is several sub folders (albums) that contain the music)
How do I put this stuff on my iPod (on I tunes) while maintaining the current structure?
I have a windows pc and Mac book so which ever is easy I guess
Help please

Hi there. What you want to do is drag the folders with all your music into itunes.  That way all your music will be on your itunes library on mac or pc.  Next, you want to connect your device to your pc or mac, wait until is shows up, and then, sync all the albums/songs you want of your choice. That is how you get the music on your ipod. Now, to your actual question. Do you want the folders to show up ON your ipod classic, with the singer name, then sub folders of the artists discography? If so, all you do is go to itunes with your music, then go to where it says "artists" and click and hold on the artists name, and drag it to your ipod which is connected. This will sync all the tracks of your artist to your ipod classic, so that when you go on, what you will see is the artist name, then you click on that, to view all your albums. There aren't really "Folders" like there are on a pc, but you can have a nice layout on ipod. Basically what you wanna do is just sync whatever album or song you want by manually dragging and dropping, and however it turns out on your ipod classic, is what it's supposed to look like. Best of luck, hope this helped, reply back if you need more help.

  • How do I put my non-itunes music from my iPad to iTunes?

    I put lots of music that I did not purchase on iTunes (downloaded online) onto my iPad but recently, my whole computer crashed and I need a way to put all of that music onto my new computer/iTunes. When I try and Sync it, only my purchased music will show up and if I try and sync the music, it will delete all of my downloaded music. I use iTunes Windows and have an iPad Mini. Is there some sort of program I can use or is there some way to do it manually?
    I am selling my iPad and have to transfer everything quickly.

    Restore your computer from your backup...
    See this -> Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    After you recover it all, make sure you complete a full backup of your computer.

  • How can I download movie trailer from Music Store for iPod?

    Movie trailers are produced to attract audience to see the film, so there shouldn't be any coryright issues. But why is it that I cannot copy and paste or download movie trailers from Music Store onto my iTunes and iPod? If Apple puts it on the Music Store, it expects people want to transfer it to their iPod. Sometimes just could not understand what these people think!

    Thanks ALpinaoman, I am afraid things (and life in the world of Apple) are not as simple as you described it. First of all, some movie trailers - when they are played - do not have a little drop down menu arrow to the far right. Secondly, after transferring (i.e. saving) the movie trailer onto the iTunes on my iMac, only a few can be updated onto the iPod, most can't. The error message on the iMac is: "Some of the videos in you iTunes library, including the video "breakfastonpluto.ref" were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod. Click More Info to visit www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n301461 for more information on creating videos compatible with your iPod." What the xxxx is this ".ref" format? Why can't these stupid IT people sit down and agree on ONE format instead of MP4, MOV, AVi, WMV, asx etc etc etc.
    I have used the video iPod for a month now and have all kinds of hurdles transferring video to the unit (easier for DVD, very difficult for VCD, got visual but no sound, etc etc). I have no idea how technically complex the whole thing was when I bought the iPod. I thought it was like recording your TV show on VCR which was low tech (well tech has advanced quite a bit since VCR was invented and tech was supposed to make life easier not more complicated). I guess I need to attend a one year training on computer engineering before I know how to use "user friendly" Apple products.

  • How do you put previously bought software upgrades on replacement ipod?

    Back in July I bought the 2.0 software upgrade for my iPod. Just a few days ago I sent my iPod in for WiFi problems, and just got my replacement today. How do I put the 2.0 software upgrade on this new iPod?

    Hi fraxh,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    If you've bought the update from the the iTunes Music Store you should be re-purchase it, that failing click the "restore" button on the iPod Touch summary page, as it may have the update archived, in which case it should re-install.

    There's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

  • How do I use itunes to transfer music to my ipod while offline?

    as it is right now (itunes v7.1), i get a message "cannot access itunes store", and will not bring up the usual menus on the left side of the itunes window where i view my music, vids, photos, and playlists.
    needless to say, i dont even HAVE and itunes store account. it would be lovely if i could disable itunes store, but hey, i'm sure thats been made impossible.
    thanks in advance!

    for some reason when itunes first installs a new version, it opens up to the iTunes Store. Since you don't have net connection, its going to error out.
    But the fact that you can't see any of the other items, I would recommend redownloading iTunes (and Quicktime to be sure) and reinstalling it and see if that helps.
    Just for the record, can you click on the Library icon?
