Hello, Martin, First of all, once you connect your drive, go to Itunes and press command-o to add items to your library. You can browse in that dialog for your drive. Import your files. Then, in the sources list, go to "recently added". Your files should be there. Turn cursor tracking off with VO-shift-f3. This will allow you to move the VO cursor around without moving the system cursor, so you can select the files you want. Go to a file and press command-option-control space to tell VO to select it. Keep doing this for each file you want to copy. Hit command-c to copy, then turn cursor tracking back on with VO-shift-f3. Once you have your IPod connected, find it in your sources area. Once you have it, VO right once and there you should find a table. Press command-v to paste the files you have copied there.
You might have noticed that your Ipod area has some settings available. The setings here will depend on your Ipod model. These will allow you to sync your music in various ways. Once you have done the manual method I've outlined, you might want to try setting these up, so that your Ipod will sync your music for you. Personally, I do everything manually, but that is just my own preference. Hope this helps, Teresa On Oct 6, 2011, at 5:22 AM, Martin Brown wrote: > Everyone, > > I would like to create playlists so that I might put specific music into them > in order to use my iPod Touch.
