Transfer files between iPod touch and your computer
You can use iCloud Drive to keep your files up to date and accessible on all your devices, including Windows PCs. You can also transfer files between iPod touch and other devices by using AirDrop and sending email attachments.
Alternatively, you can transfer files for apps that support file sharing by connecting iPod touch to a Mac (with a USB port and OS X 10.9 or later) or a Windows PC (with a USB port and Windows 7 or later).
Transfer files between iPod touch and your Mac
-
Connect iPod touch to your Mac.
You can connect using USB, or if you set up Wi-Fi syncing, you can use a Wi-Fi connection.
In the Finder sidebar on your Mac, select your iPod touch.
Note: To use the Finder to transfer files, macOS 10.15 or later is required. With earlier versions of macOS, use iTunes to transfer files.
At the top of the Finder window, click Files, then do one of the following:
Transfer from Mac to iPod touch: Drag a file or a selection of files from a Finder window onto an app name in the list.
Transfer from iPod touch to Mac: Click the disclosure triangle beside an app name to see its files on your iPod touch, then drag a file to a Finder window.
To delete a file from iPod touch, select it below an app name, press Command-Delete, then click Delete.
Transfer files between iPod touch and your Windows PC
Install or update to the latest version of iTunes on your PC.
See the Apple Support article Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Connect iPod touch to your Windows PC.
You can connect using USB, or if you set up Wi-Fi syncing, you can use a Wi-Fi connection.
In iTunes on your Windows PC, click the iPod touch button near the top left of the iTunes window.
Click File Sharing, select an app in the list, then do one of the following:
Transfer a file from your iPod touch to your computer: Select the file you want to transfer in the list on the right, click “Save to,” select where you want to save the file, then click Save To.
Transfer a file from your computer to your iPod touch: Click Add, select the file you want to transfer, then click Add.
To delete a file from iPod touch, select the file, press the Delete key, then click Delete.
File transfers occur immediately. To view items transferred to iPod touch, go to On My iPod touch in the Files app on iPod touch. See View files and folders in Files on iPod touch.
Important: Syncing has no effect on file transfers, so syncing doesn’t keep transferred files on iPod touch up to date with the files on your computer.
See Transfer files from your Mac to iPhone or iPad in the macOS User Guide or Transfer files between your PC and devices with iTunes in the iTunes User Guide for Windows.
