How to Input Into an iPod
The accessories that come with an iPod allow users to quickly import data from their computers. Media files and applications can be transferred via a USB sync. First-generation iPod users can not add applications to their iPod. Use iTunes on your Mac or PC to conduct the file transfer and update your iPod with the latest software, if necessary. You can customize which songs you want to keep on your computer and which media files you want to access on your iPod.
