How to Download YouTube Videos to iTunes
YouTube is the largest and most popular video sharing website on the Internet. Sometimes you may want to be able to download these videos for use on your iTunes program. Whether you want the whole video or just the audio, there are programs online that will allow you to do this.
- Do an Internet search for YouTube converter programs. Many of these programs convert a YouTube video's audio only, so if you want the entire video make sure the converter has this option. There are many different converters you can choose from, but never pay for one. There are some websites that charge a fee for their converters use, but the majority of sites will not. They make their revenue though ad space.
- Download iTunes if you haven't already done so. Keep it up in the background of your computer because you will need the software open later.
- Find the video on YouTube you wish to put into your iTunes software. Once you are on the webpage of the video, highlight the URL address at the top of the page. Right click on the highlighted address and select the "copy" option.
- Paste the URL address into the YouTube converter by right clicking on the area that asks for the URL and selecting "paste."
- Choose which format you want the video to be converted into. The converter will normally have multiple options; choose the format that is most appropriate for what you need and click "convert."
- Wait for the program to convert the video. Once the video is finished converting, download the video. Find the video in your documents and drag it over into your iTunes software.
