well...if you are using a PC, the easisest and fastest way if to enable the viewing of hidden files & folders.  Double click my computer, then go to tools >>> Folder Options. then go to the view tab and choose to show hidden files & folders. \n\nOnce that's done, go to my computer, then go to your ipod, then go to device, music, then you will see a bunch of folders there and all you MP3's will be in there.

First off, download and install iTunes on the new computer:\n\nhttp://www.apple.com/itunes/download/\n\nYou can run it to make sure that you're installed properly, but quit it before continuing.\n\nNext, burn the folder "iTunes" (on the Mac, found in the "Music" folder of your home directory) to a CD or DVD.  Take the CD/DVD to the new computer (or, use the network to transfer the folder) and put it in the same location on the new computer, replacing any existing "iTunes" folder (assumes that you have no new or unique music on this new computer.)\n\nYou should now see your music when you run iTunes.  If you don't, go to the Preferences command and in the Advanced tab (General subtab) select the correct location of the iTunes folder you copied onto this new computer.\n\nHope that helps!

Your iPond came with a cable.\n\nConnect the cable into the iPod and into your computer.\n\n(In desktops, it's in the hardrive part in the *back*, in laptops it's in the back with the other cable slots)\n\nThen go to an mp3 download site.\n\ndelIT.net\niTunes.com\n\nAre some examples. I reccoment iTunes.com\n\nCreate an account (yes, money must be payed. $$$)\n\nThen once you're all set, search for songs!\n\nWhen you have chosen one,\n\ngo to 'my Computer'\n\nClick on 'Mp3 Drive' (some computers will call it differently. But simple enough, it's that.)\n\nThen paste your songs in there.\n\nAlso, if you have some songs on your (iPod plays other music files besides mp3) computer's hard drive, you can copy-paste them into your iPod folder in MyComputer.\n\nOnce you're all done, disconnect the cable from the computer FIRST, then from the iPod. Now get ready to listen to some songs!\n\nHope that helped.\n\n< 33 Ana

Well first you have to get i tunes and to do that you just open the Internet and download it for free and then once you have songs you just plug you new i pod into your computer with the USB cable that came with it and follow the instructions and every time after that it will automatically update your ipod with all the latest songs you purchased

You can't switch it. You have to install it on the new computer, either with the CD you got with your iPod, or you can download iTunes for free off the apple website.

To "upload" songs to the Ipod Nano you will need iTunes to do this. \n\nSimply connect your iPod once you have installed iTunes and it should be recognized. \n\nAfter that you will see on the left menu bar, a little iPod icon. \n\nJust drag all of the songs you want to listen to onto that little icon and your done. \n(Make sure you have songs in iTunes as this whole process will not work to well without them ;) )\n\nAnother way - which will allow you to transfer songs from computer to computer but will not allow you to actually listen to the songs would be to make your iPod into a USB Storage device. \n\nTo do this make sure your iPod is connected to your computer and go into iTunes and click on edit / preferences.\n\nYou will see a little menu option called "ipod" -  click it.\n\nThen there should be an option to make your ipod into a storage device.\n\nOnce you do that, you can bring your ipod to another computer and put the songs and files onto it as well or just leave them on there...\n\nPersonally, I would use the first step as actually listening to the music on your ipod makes it all worth while.

While I don't recommend mixing your free downloads with iTunes purchased music, you can still add those files to your iPod. Simply drag any MP3 or WMA file into your iTunes application and allow it to convert the music. Once it is converted, you are able to connect your iPod and move the music to your iPod using the same interface.

you need to set itunes as your default music player and play them there once you have done that you will be able to put them onto your ipod.

Follow these steps:\n1. Download iTunes from http://www.apple.com and install it on your computer.\n2. Run iTunes on your computer.\n3. Make sure iTunes know about where your music is. When you install it you can have it search for you music or:\n3a. If your music is already on your computer, click on the library icon on the left of iTunes and open a file window and drag the music files into the large window on the right. If the music is not in mp3 format you must select one or more songs, right click your mouse, and select "Convert Selection to MP3".\n3b. If your music is on CD, insert the CD into the CD player in your computer (you must have one for this to work) and iTunes will read it. Once the songs are displayed, highlight all of them (press Ctrl A after clicking once on one song), right click on the hightlighted files, then select "Convert Selection to MP3". Do this for every CD you want to load into your iPod.\n4. Connect the cable that came with your iPod with the thin wide cable with the icon facing in the same direction as the face of the iPod. Don't force it and make sure the icon of the plug is facing the same direction as the face of the iPod.\n5. Connect the thick narrow cable to your computer to the USB port, it will be the only hole in the computer that it will fit into. Agian, don't force it. If it doesn't go in easily, turn it around and try again.\n6. Wait a few second and iTunes will recognize your iPod automatically.\n7. Once iTunes recognizes your iPod it will ask you if you want to asociate this iPod with this iTunes, just answer yes.\n8. Any music you add to iTunes from this point forward will autmatically be downloaded onto your iPod anytime you connect it to your computer.\n9. Do not disconnect your iPod until iTunes tells you that your iPod has been updated. You can also leave it connected to charge up the iPod battery.\n10. If you add songs after your iPod is connected, the iPod will not be updated. When you add music after connecting your iPod to the computer. Go to the File menu and select Update "xxxx" near the bottom. In this case "xxxx" is the name you assigned to your iPod followed by the word iPod.
