Here’s How to Connect Your iPod to a PC
You may already have iTunes installed on your PC. If not, download it from Apple—it’s free—and install it on your desktop or laptop computer. Your iPod came with a cable that has a USB connector at one end and a dock connector on the other. It probably came with a partial charge, but if not, charge the iPod before you connect it to your computer. Your iPod is set up and ready for use.

Each time you want to add or remove content from your iPod, plug it into your PC and manage what’s being synced to it in iTunes.
Computer Connection No Longer Required
You may have an iPod that Apple no longer requires you to sync to a computer. Recent models of the iPod Touch are capable of streaming and downloading music directly to the iPod, as long as a high-speed internet connection is available. It is still possible to connect these models to a computer, but it isn’t required. Check the documentation that came with your iPod.
