How to Download Music Videos for the iPod Classic

The iPod Classic features 160 GB of memory, allowing users to download endless hours of music and videos. And, like other video iPods, the Classic can play music videos. Syncing music videos to your iPod Classic might be confusing since music videos fall under the "Music" section rather than the "Video" section. It also requires an extra step during the iTunes syncing process that may not be evident to some users.

Step 1

Connect your iPod Classic to your computer via the USB cable that came with your device and run iTunes.

Step 2

Select your iPod Classic from the source pane on the left. This allows you to view your iPod's settings in the "Summary" tab.

Step 3

Click the "Music" tab and choose to "Sync Music."

Step 4

Place a check in the box next to "Include music videos."

Step 5

Choose to either sync the entire music library or only select music. If you choose the latter, browse and select genres, artists or playlists, ensuring that you have selected your desired music videos.

Step 6

Click "Apply" to begin syncing your music videos.
