yes very easily. plug them both in and iTunes does the rest for you. \n\nThe only thing you need to worry about when your in the iPod preferences adding playlists and such make sure your adding them to the right playlist. I have 5 hooked up to my iTunes and my gfs two are named very simaler so i often mess up and put books on her music ipod and music on her books

you need 2 computers.

you can borrow a computer with itunes, for example use a friend's computer, but then your ipod is matched only to that computer, plus you have to upload all your cd's to that computer....so the simple answer is, unfortunately, no.

Next time you dock your ipod, after itunes comes up, double click the icon for your ipod and drag the selected songs into your library.  That is if it's not already doing it automatically which it will under default installation settings.\n\nEdit: What Bacon is refering to are the copy protections, their meant to keep friends from giving away music that they've only purchased a personal liscense for.  If it's your ipod and your copy of itunes it shouldn't be an issue.  If it's not you can still go to windows properties and select "show hidden files" whereupon you can search through your ipod and copy the hidden sound files (individual songs are split into multiple files to make this a pain in the ass but it can be done.).\n\nHope that helps,\n\nArmus

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.

Plug your Ipod into the other computer, go to my computer and click on the ipod icon there.  drag the music out of there and into another folder or onto the desktop of the computer

Yes, but normally a PC without having sp1 and sp2 the USB connection will have problems detecting your upod. So its better to have sp2 installed in your PC, it does not only detects your ipod but it provides you with much more features and upgrades on your drivers. Furthermore, serivce packs are installed to fix bugs encountered in using the normal windows. ;)

Sure, just hook up the iPod to your PC with the USB wire and use the iTunes software to copy them...

iPods are compatible with both Mac and PC.\n\nYou need to download your music and videos into the software that comes with it, iTunes, to get it on the iPod.

Yes, you can do it.  Just set up more than one user account, and tell the computer to use different settings for each user.\n\nI'm not entirely sure, but I think you can find these settings under "Users" on the Control Panel.

You can only put music from your computer to your iPod, not the other way around.

I believe you can but keep this in mind. You cant even use them on a system that doesnt have the ipod software installed and only windows 2000 and up will run the software! This fact alone turned me away from ipod! I can take my creative muvo just about anywhere and swap music or files. Leave it to Apple to come up with this brainstorm...and they wonder why they are a second rate computer system...If you aint bought one yet....DONT!

Yes, absolutely you can do what you want.   If the computers are near each other, and near the cable modem, then the easiest way is with short Ethernet cables and a router.   The router connects to all 3:  to the modem, it looks like a computer, and to the computers it looks like an internet connection.\n\nYou can also do this with a wireless router.  It works the same way except that radio communication is used instead of cables between the router and the computers (The router is still connected to the cable modem with a cable).  However, you need to get a wireless card for each of the computers, the router you'd use is slightly more expensive, it's not quite as fast, and it raises potential security issues.   The security problems can be solve, but it's an additional thing to worry about.\n\nSo, assuming the distances are short, you should buy something like a 4-port router (made by Linksys, Netgear, and others).  Make sure it has a firewall built in (they pretty much all do).   Do NOT buy an Ethernet "hub" or "switch": make sure it's a router.\n\nIt'll probably come with a cable to attach it to your cable modem.  You probably already have one such cable, so may need to buy one more.   (You'll need 3 all together for this set-up.)\n\nThe fact that one machine is a PC and the other is a Mac shouldn't matter at all.

dont listen to the poster who said the ipods are copyrighted. that is wrong.\n\nbasically, i got a new laptop recently, and transferred my music this way:\n\nattach ipod via usb to old laptop. open ipod settings. click box for 'use ipod as a disc drive'.\n\nyou can then click on 'my computer', and will be able to drag and drop your music files onto the ipod, then attach it to the new laptop and drag and drop them into a file of your choice on there.\n\nits easier to transfer all music files if you empty the actual ipod of your current music first, as it frees up the space to transfer most of them at once - if not, you have to do it a few times over as the music already stored is taking up the room.\n\ni hope this has helped.
