How do you download music from an Apple computer and iTunes library? I don’t see any place in the maual that tells you how this is done.
Hi I assume you have a sansa clip or clip+ , in which case I’m sorry to say you can’t use itunes.
Just use mp3s,wma,or wav, which are standard files used with windows computers.

- Locate Your iTunes Library:
- Open Finder and navigate to the “Music” folder.
