First, make sure you have iTunes on your computer. Open it up and insert your CD of music. iTunes should pop up a little window asking you if you want to import the songs. Once you tell it to go ahead, it will take the songs from the CD, convert them into the format the iPod uses and save to your computer. Then, you can hook up your iPod and sync your music to it. Hope this helps.

After you downlaod the itunes software into your computer it is simple. Load the cd's in your computer. Download the cd to your itunes program. Then hookup your Ipod to your computer by the USB cable and start downloading. It's that simple. The Itunes sotftware will tell you and ask you certain questions. Your Ipod has certain setting features that you can play with to make downloading eaiser. But she's 12, I think let her have it and well, she will be done in no time.

Mine was broken, it never worked. You suppose to just put in ipod mode and it will start playing. I chucked my broken devise in the garbage. I regret ordering it only throw Amazon.com but it was the same price as in the store 9.99.

I just spoke with an Apple rep as I am also frustrated with Cover Flow. He said to: (1) plug my ipod into my computer / iTunes(2) go to my nano's Summary page (where you can see the storage space or refresh the unit, etc)(3) click on the Music tab(4) uncheck Display Artwork-- I hope that helps!

Using iTunes you can move music from any Apple type device to another. You would have to sync the nano first and go through the setup but as long as your iTunes has the music you want on the nano on there you can do it.

LOL... too old for an iPod? I've got 4 iPods, and a music library of well over 5000 songs, and I'm 66 years old. I plan on using them for many years to come. 8-)

The best and simplest way is to go through Itunes and just drag and drop. Sync it from there.I must warn you though, not all iPod videos come out the same. Some don't sync properly, for some reason (still working on that one). But 95% that I've sync'd played just fine.You can than use the DVD player/dock and watch them in widescreen!

As soon as Amazon runs out of stock of the OS 2.xx iPod Touch, they should start stocking those with 3.0. Might be a while. I got mine long after OS 2.2.1 was released, and it came with OS 1.1 in it! By long, I mean many months.

I just bought an 80 gb ipod here on amazon that's a 5.5 generation. i should have looked more, but i had it saved on my wish list from a few months ago and assumed it was still the newest one! I haven't recieved it yet, but it has already been mailed out and i can't change it. i paid 250 for it because i bought it from one of the sellers, but i am wondering if i should return it and have to wait longer for the new ipod, or if the differences between the 5.5 gen and the new one are too subtle to really make a difference... I don't know what to do and i'm really sad about it because this is my first ipod.

iPods can play a variety of different media types, not just material downloaded from itunes. You will have to "rip" your CDs, which will basically copy them to your computer. After that is done, they can be loaded on the iPod. I have a mac, so I can't speak for PCs, but when I insert a CD, itunes gives me the option to import (read: rip) the CD with the click of a button. Importing a CD should take less than 5 minutes. One thing I have done is change the default encoder (itunes preferences -&gt; advanced -&gt; importing tab) from AAC (apple format) to mp3 (which is more common), but that's entirely up to the user. I'd recommend you swing by an apple store, they'll be able to answer any other questions you may have and can probably give you a demo.

iPod Touch 8GB 4th Generation is my favorite. But since you had a nano, maybe you might not like it since it has a touch screen,etc. I like it because watching videos on the retina display is AWESOME!!!!!! Plus music too. I don't really use it for much else besides Playing Music/Watching Videos/Pandora. I don't use apps, use the internet sparingly, etc. You should probably wait until September because a new nano will be coming out then.

Call up Itunes. Insert CD into the CD drive. Itunes will ask if you want to import the CD. You answer yes and Itunes will copy the CD. Next step, attach your IPOD to the computer and Itunes should automatically sync the CD to your IPOD. A very easy process.

You can only use Ipod and Iphones 4th generation or older, no other :( you can look at the amazon recomendations for music cds. I hope this helps you :)

That sounds good. I am in the process of reripping the CDs that are WMA's - I knew the Ipod wouldn't play them, and I was worried about the sound quality with converted files. Thanks for the reply!

I have heard there might be some third party software that you can use, but I think the easiest and best way is to add your windows media player items to iTunes and then sync the iPod.
