iTunes 101 The Basics
What is iTunes Exactly?
Organize and manage all of your media in one place. iTunes can be used for syncing Apple compatible technology such as iPads, iPhones and iPods with music, apps, contacts and more. Now you can utilize the cloud to save and protect all of your purchases.
Main Screen: My Music
The default screen in most iTunes users is the My Music screen. Also known as the music library. From this screen, you can see all the music you have on your computer and purchased on the cloud. You can also use the search bar at the top right of the screen to search for specific items within your library.
Main Screen: Playlists
This view looks similar to the My Music screen but has a list of user and system created playlists to the left. You can add songs to playlists by selecting them and dragging them to the playlist of your choice. You can create a new playlist by selecting the plus button in the bottom left of the Playlists screen.
Main Screen: iTunes Store
The iTunes Store can be used to make purchases for all types of media such as: • Music • Apps • Games • Podcasts • Movies
Search, browse and find the items you want. Use the drop down button to purchase the entire album.
Album Screen: iTunes Store
Buy an entire album or just buy individual songs. There are some records that contain explicit language and will be noted underneath the album description. Many artists will have a clean version available and the album page will contain the option of clean or explicit for purchase.
Importing Music Into Your iTunes Library
