How to install iPod software

Ipod software on what? The iPod? Plug it into your Mac and open a finder window. Click on the iPod in the left sidebar. The familiar iTunes window should appear and you can format it, manage your music, etc.


I recently returned to Apple after 20-something years away. I plugged in my 5th Generation iPod Video. It blinked. The Mac updated the time and date. It verified it had the latest software on the iPod and was ready to go. A 2006 device. Amazing.
