Hi Chris, Create a New Folder on your Desktop name it 'Music for Cath'
1. Open iTunes on your computer 2. Select ALL the music tracks you want to put on the thumb drive - so they are all highlighted (check they are in MP3 format and don't have DRM- Digital Rights Management) 3. Drag & drop the selected files onto the Folder on your Desktop 4. Connect your Thumb Drive to your computer 5. Place the folder of tracks into the thumb drive 6. Disconnect the thumb drive Then on Cath's computer: A) 1. Connect the thumb drive 2. Open iTunes 3. Go to File > Add to Library 4. In the resulting window locate the Folder on the thumb drive and select ALL the tracks The music tracks will then be added to Cath's iTunes Library. B) 1. Connect Cath's iPhone to a USB port on her Mac via the docking cable. 2. Sync her iPhone with her iTunes library to get the songs onto her iPhone.
