T.F.Student 0 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 It would seem that you need something called itunes on your pc to be able to hear the music! Heres the info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timid Toad 18 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Download i tunes from the site on your computer then plug your i pod in and i tunes should connect to it and ask u if u want to syncronise click yes . mind there isnt much point if you havnt got any songs downloaded onto your computer when it asked you to eject before u unplug there should be a little icon on your toolbar that you click on that tells u when its safe to unplug your i pod from your computer hope this helps though i recon you will just be more confused .

Missie 1 Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Get iTunes downloaded first and add the music you want to it. Everything you want on your iPod should be ticked in the library menu in iTunes. When you connect the iPod to the usb iTunes should start automatically and sync the iPod. To eject you need to either eject it when it finishes transferring music or you can go to the menu on the left of the page where it shows your iPod is connected, click on that menu (it'll say ****'s iPod, depending on what your pc is named) and it'll give you the option to eject the device, looks like the eject button on a dvd player. Hope that helps a little, took me an hour or so of messing about and threatening to throw the bloody thing out of the window to get mine worked out! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
