I bought a new iPod - I have a lot of music on my mac that I want to download onto the new iPod - I do not download music - I have CDs - my Itunes icon is labeled music - this is a change - how can I download my music
iPod, iOS 12
As you did with iTunes, connect it with a USB. Notice that the device will register in Finder rather than iTunes, but otherwise it works the same. See more info here:

I did the above which is why I posted the question - I bought an iPod a couple of years ago but it did not have enough space for all my music - I was able to activate that one doing what you suggested - but this one is a newer model with more space and when I connected it - registered it and hit import nothing happened
there was nothing in Finder but I do see the iPod is on the sidebar Karen's iPod and it appears to be the newer on - I do not know how to use Finder except to empty trash - my music was saved to a Seagate device we bought when we got the MAC computer - I have successfully synced 3 iPods - I did find the iPod I thought I lost today but it does not have enough memory for all my music and it is divided up very weirdly - I planned to buy the one I have now with more storage but nothing is working
Thank you so much - it worked - I am very bad at understanding what I need to do with technology - I always meant to go to classes at the apple store and was so busy with work I just got by mostly on what other people showing me what to do - I do not use these devices as most people do - I will only use the music on the iPod - I rarely use my phone - I typically use the computers for email and looking up things on BING - I will not use any of the other apps on the iPod - so thank you for your help - sorry I took so long to figure this out - my music is a real life saver for me especially in this time of staying home - again thank you so much for your help and patience - I will go to bed happy!!! Karen
Update,
Not sure what you mean by "hit import." Are you following the steps in the guide?
what guide? and how do I know if my iPod is connected to my computer - it does not show up in devices
Hello Update,
The "guide" I am referring to is the one linked in my first post.
Karen,
Glad it worked out. Enjoy the music! :-)
