If I put a song in a iPod then delete it on my PC... Will it automatically delete it from my iPod next I hook it up?

no, just make sure you leave the song in your itunes playlist (and stop it deleting automatically in your options settings). it will have a little exclamation point next to it but as long as you dont actually delete it from the playlist it wont delete it from your ipod. I dont have space to hold all the music on my ipod on my pc so i did exactly this.

This article is an excellent guide on how to remove songs from an ipod onto a computer that no longer has those music files: http://reviews.cnet.com/transfer-ipod-songs/I have sadly had to use it when my external hard drive just stopped working one day. You can download them to you computer from your ipod shuffle and then upload them from the computer to the ipod nano. Hope this helps :)

So can you just drag your computer's MP3 files over to load them into your iPod? Or at least specify which files rather than getting the Winamp program and plugin?

I've never understood those services... sure they can put the music on your iPod for you, but what happens when you have to restore your iPod and you don't have all of that music back-up in iTunes on your computer. Do you have to pay someone to do it all over again?

Hello, no this is only speakers your iPod/iPhone plugs into, any music played comes completely from the iPod device

Absolutely - Simply check "Enable Hard Drive Use" in iToons when you're setting up prefs and the deal is done. If you do not want the computer to affect the music just UNcheck "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" in prefs. If u plug into a different computer and iToons opens, just quit itoons immediately as it opens. You may get a notice that iToons is updating the ipod. Click ok & just quit the pgm. Just remember, after you eject the ipod (properly-right?) the iPod will still show the red "Do Not Disconnect" symbol. Respect its wishes. It will dissappear in a moment. Then pull the cable. End of story. I currently have about 5 gigs of backup info on mine & it is a real lifesaver.

You can listen to anything you would normally be able to download to your iPod shuffle. If you already have another iPod shuffle then it will act exactly the same. Does that make sense?

Does your Ipod have bluetooth? If so you can connect to the speaker. Does your ipod have audio files stored on it? Then you don't need Internet for the audio stored on the device.

When you connect to your computer, your computer should recognize the device as a "USB Device." In Windows, look in "My Computer." Once you connect, you should be able to explore the device/drive. DO NOT DELETE any of the files you find. If you are successful connecting, there will be a folder that contains .mp3 files - I was successful with adding files to that folder that were then usable. However, with all that said, the device itself is very difficult to use, especially if you are expecting it to function like an "iPod." I hope this helps.

My experience was that I did just that....plugged in my ipod cord and played the music, no extra app required. However, two things happened: a) the ipod's battery was depleted (for some reason, I expected one of the two-pronged cords would provide a charge) and b) the system's preset buttons became unresponsive to the touch. I unplugged the ipod and reset the preset buttons and I've had no problems at all since then (several months ago) - however, I haven't bothered to use the ipod since then. It may have had nothing at all to do with b).....

Yes it will work. If i can operate this, so can you. Go to Itunes. com set up an account. Place your cd in the drive of your computer/laptop. Itunes will automatically read all the songs on the CD and ask you if you want to download it (you can uncheck any songs you want to) and bingo, they are put onto your ITunes library. Now plug your IPod into your computer/laptop and it will automatically sync the songs to your IPod, easy peasy!

Since it's an iPod ya u would need iTunes, it will automatically ask u to download iTunes once u hook it up to ur computer. But u don't have to purchase music from iTunes, if u already have music on your computer u would need to import it to iTunes, it's pretty user friendly :)

If you are trying to fast forward through a song, i don't think so,,if you can it's a feature I haven't found. If you mean skip to the next song, Yes. If you mean fast forward through a video I belive so. I like the radio feature that the ipod does not have ipod.

I can't believe the Zune would do that! Its beyond logic!! What they want you to do is have a portable device for your music but also have a non-portable copy?? The Sony syncs perfectly and the function is only 'addition'. If you want to delete, you have to delete from the player(but it has to be connected to your PC, you cannot delete from the player on its own). It also does not overwrite if you are trying to add a file that is already there. Once the player is connected to the PC and Windows Media Player is opened, there is a separate area where you drag the files that you want synced. I guess that is what prevents it from functioning like the Zune.

This has happened to me. I fixed my problem by resetting my iPod. Please download the manual from Apple's website. Unfortunately Amazon won't let me post the direct link.Go to Chapter 6 (page 55) of the current manual to troubleshoot. If you use Windows version of iPod and you manually update your playlists, your problem may have been triggered by improper disconnection. If that's the case, make sure you always eject your iPod first by using Window's System Tray (much like disconnecting flash drives). Good luck!

you can't. All you can do is skip song by song, typical Apple. If you like loading your Sandisk you'll hate iTunes for sure. It's hard to just load songs by selecting them randomly. I have 25gb of music so I can't sync my 2gb ipod with iTunes - I just get the first 2gb.
