You'll need a computer, Itunes installed on the computer, the USB cable that came with the Ipod, and of course the IPOD.  Depending on the operating system of the computer and which version of Itunes you are running then you plug the Ipod into the computer using the USB cable, it should be recognized on the computer.  Using itunes you can either import songs from a cd, or purchase music using itunes.com.  If you have songs already saved on your computer, you can simply drag them into the open Itunes program and drop them.\n\nOnce the music is imported into Itunes, you can then Click on the song (or select more than one song by holding the ctrl button and selecting which songs you want) and drag them over to the Ipod and drop them.  If you had trouble understanding what I just said.  If you go to the FAQ section of Itunes, they explain in detail exactly what I just said.

An ipod is a great gift.. I love mine and I never really go anywhere without it..you will need to download itunes on your computer so she can get music for it. and since ipods have so many accessories they are always nice too.. the cases help protect the body and screen which is good and the ipod bose stereo docks are also very nice but are pretty costly. you could also pick her up an itunes giftcard(sold wherever ipods are sold) so she can get new music right away. \nI got my sister the new scene it dvd trivia game and its a lot of fun we have a few versions already and my whole family loves it.. also if she has a favorite tv show.. dvd box sets make great gifts.\nand digital cameras are definatley an awesome gift. you can even find them now on sale with included printer docks so you can just print the photos from your home at your own convenience.

heres a solution, dont get an ipod nano, ipods only are compatible with apple accessories and apple programs, get a creative zen micro 5gig used, when i got mine a year ago it was $200 and i saw a refurbished one for like $120 a few wqeeks ago, its not as small as a nano, but it works great and has alot of accessoriez that can go with it

Besides the new layout - there are a lot of new options you can use that will help you out using your IPOD. If you've got an Ipod video - even better - Itunes has a lot of options with  that so you can play with that. Also - ITunes 6.03 has fixed a few glitches from its predecessors. I say that's about it in terms of significant changes. The new changes with the Ipod is probably the best.

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.

i'm pretty happy with my 60g ipod.  i tried to go cheap and went with a Rio Nitrus.  it worked great, but it had a 1.5 gig storage and i filled it up pretty quick.  so then i got a Rio Carbon---but it never worked worth a darn.  so i finally stopped messing around, took the plunge and bought a 60gig ipod.  it works great, i don't know if i'll ever fill it up---it does tons of things besides playing music.\n\ni'm pretty tickled with it.

I had the same problem. If you know someone with an ipod ask them if they have an itunes setup cd that you can borrow. If that doesn't work then try re downloading it and if that doesn't work then get mad at a few people. I have an itunes setup cd, but I'm not sure how I would get it to you if you are far from Texas.

You should get a better subscription service like Yahoo! Unlimited. ITUNES and the IPOD are both conspiracy (lol) people get them based on what they look like and the fact that other people have them. In reality pod's are the worst mp3 players not only in the convenience department but the technology is filled with bugs and errors.

my advice:\n\ntry everything at www.apple.com/support/ipod/\nif nothing works then you can ask for help here:\ngo here:\nhttp://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa\nor\nhere:\nhttp://www.ilounge.com/index.php/help/\nfor help.\n\nif that doesn't work, try:\n\nservice it thru apple.\nhttp://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/\nthey will make everything free if it is under warranty, they ship a box to you, you put your ipod in it, then you ship it, they get it and tell you when they get it and when it was fixed [mine was within a couple of hours], they ship it back to you free of charge.\n\nnow if you aren't on your warranty or just don't want to have to deal with all that. go to your local apple store and trade your ipod in. i have done this twice, and i have also shipped mine to apple.

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
