Sadly, no.  iPod (and iTunes) are Apple products, and work best on an Apple.  The Windows version has less compatibility and little annoyances (like the one you're experiencing).

if you go to ipod.com and click on the discussion link in the support section there are people on all the time to help about questions like that. i know they will know way more specifics than  us. thats where i go to get all my ipod questions answered.

Linux can play *some* games, using a program called WINE, and another called Cedega.\n\nThe compatibility lists are here:\nhttp://appdb.winehq.org/\nhttp://transgaming.org/gamesdb/\n\nSome games (One's that use OpenGL and Direct3D rendering methods as opposed to DirectX, such as Unreal Tournament and Quake 3) are linux ready straight out of the box.

I'll try not to get confusing.  First of all, make sure you are plugging the iPod into a USB 2.0 port.  It's the high-speed version of USB and while iPods will work on the slower version, sometimes they don't quite get the juice they need.  That being said, take your iPod to a different computer and see if it charges.  If it does, then your computer is the problem, in which case a purchase of a new USB port is the solution - not an expensive investment.  If the iPod does not charge on this second computer, then I would suggest the iPod itself is the problem, and take it to the Apple store if it's under warranty.  If it's not under warranty, then see if it's better to replace the entire iPod, or get it fixed.  Hope this helps!

first you download your songs and convert them to mp3 format(I think wav or wma is okay too but not sure), then you connect your nano usb wire, and then go to the ipod section in your itune software, it will automatically put your songs to your nano but first you have to put all your songs in the library section. Good luck and enjoy your music, hope you would give me 10 points for this, thanks alot! \nBy the way I have a nano too, I think it's the best size and very stylish.

You can get an ipod nano (the smallest) for less than £100 now (use a kelkoo seach to find the cheapest online) and get an arm band strap for about £15 or so. I borrowed a friends nano and arm strap when I did Race for Life this year and it was fantastic. As i use itunes on my computer, I'm personally holding out for an ipod this christmas!\n\nHowever, most people on here are right, it IS just an MP3 player and there ARE cheaper options. I'd suggest you google Which? and see if they have reviews (im sure they will)\n\nNot wanting to push Ipods BUT they have just bought on the new ipod shuffle which is the size of a matchbox and is literally a clip, so you just clip it onto your clothing.... The main thing about a shuffle is you can't go through it and select a particular artist etc, it just shuffles (plays randomly) all the tracks on it. However, if i went with that I'd only put on tracks that help me run anyway!!\n\nDefinitely google and go from there- most stores work on commission for different products so you might find it difficult getting a neutral view!\n\nGod bless the internet!

"And i wish apple users would quit claiming they never crash...they DO. Windows XP is perfectly stable, so unless you install all the crap of the day i don't see a problem"\n\nComments like the above are from closed minded people who have not spoken to a person who is open minded and has used Mac OS X....Apple users know that Mac OS X can AND will crash....but how many Mac users have you met that have had a kernel dump (in short, a really bad type of crash) four times in one month!?!?! I work with computer operating systems of all types: FreeBSD, Windows, Mac OS X.....\nSo I know a little about about stability...\n\nYes they are expensive, but consider the following:\n\nMicrosoft has 94% of the market, how else can Apple make money, but by charging (what I think) is a little too much for a desktop....?\n\nOn the other hand the Hardware is not Dell-Cheap....($400 for a computer!?!) the hardware Apple puts together is GOOD hardware nothing cheap about it.....\n\nApple computers are not for Gamers, they are for Developers Musicians, Artist, Programmers...and so on..., but if you want something diferrent other than Linux, go with the iBook, my friend just bought her first apple product iBook with a 14.1" screen ^_^, and she loves it (speshal_kim), and she has no regrets....(she moved from a HP......running Windows XP Home Edition)\n\nHeres a Tip: READ, READ, READ about the products you buy, and search for the best deal....\n\nA few more things that can help in your decision:\n\nOne: There are only a few virus (compared to Windows), so get some kind of virus protection....\n\nTwo: You can find software to do everything on Mac OS X...\n\nHere you go: \nwww.pure-mac.com\n\nThree: Dont buy a computer in a store if you dont have to, you can save on the Tax and Shipping by purchasing your iBook online......\n\nHere is another:\nhttp://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=393032&is=REG&addedTroughType=categoryNavigation\n\n\nand remember to do research before you buy your machine\n\nSometimes its just a matter of preference... ^_^

An iPod IS an mp3 player.  iPod is just the brand-name for it.  Which one is better depends on what you're looking for it to do.  Different players have different functions; some do more, some do less.  All of them, at the very least, play mp3's.  Which one is better and how much they cost is just something you'll have to shop around for.

There are a lot of good GNU/Linux distributions, depends what you want to do. if you want to your desktop, try Mandryba, Lycorix, Ubuntu (KUbuntu, Edubuntu), Gentoo... are the most frindly and easy to install.

NOOOOOOO.  The iPod is not compatible with Windows ME.  iTunes requires either Windows XP or 2000.  iTunes will NOT work on Windows ME.  The iPod installer will not work on Windows ME either.\n\nhttp://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

But why? Java should run on the palm pilot. Maybe have to change some of the screen size info, etc. But I thought Palms run Java.

I think your Ipod's harddrive may be corrupt. You're going to have to call Apple and have them service it for you. If it's under warranty, they'll do it for free. They might even just give you a brand new Ipod.

If it's a newer iPod, then you don't need an apple.  I think the only iPods that won't work with PC's are the first three generations, which do not include the Nano or Mini.  I use my PC to connect to my iPod all of the time with no problems.

When you press "Print Screen," what happens? Does it just not work, or the graphics are messed up, what?\n\nTry restarting your computer if it just doesn't take a screen shot, sometimes that happens to me when I try to take a screen shot. I don't know why that happens, but the computer just stops taking screen shots after taking a couple already.
