If you plan to transfer a title to the iTunes Library (for MP3 Audiobooks only) and/or to an Apple®
device, you must have iTunes v9.0.2 (or newer) installed. iTunes is a free download; you can
download iTunes from http://www.overdrive.com/partners/redirects.asp?product=itunes.
If you want to use the OverDrive Media Console Transfer Wizard to transfer content to an Apple
device, the iTunes setting 'Manually manage music…' must be enabled for the device before you can
complete the transfer. Adjust this setting in iTunes as follows…
1. Connect your device to your computer.
2. If it does not launch automatically, open iTunes (v9.0.2 or newer).
3. In iTunes, locate your device in the left vertical navigation panel (under heading 'DEVICES'),
and click your device.
The 'Summary' screen is displayed.
4. If it is not already checked, place a checkmark next to 'Manually manage music…'.
5. Click the 'Apply' button.
The iTunes 'Summary' screen refreshes, and your changes are saved.
If you plan to transfer a title to a portable device, ensure the device is connected. Click 'Next' to advance to the next
step in this process.
Click the 'Cancel' button at any time to cancel the process and exit the OverDrive Media Console Transfer Wizard.
Click the 'Help' button at any time to launch the OverDrive Media Console Transfer Wizard Help System.
