Help me, gentle flisters...

[bookaddict43]

I bow to your collective knowledge *flatters*.

First let me say - IPods annoy me. I have a generic brand MP3 player and downloading to it is so simple it's not funny. I click here, and click sync there and voila! the music magically appears on the MP3 player. Technical I am not :)

One of my regular clients won an IPod in a competition and wants to download his music onto it. He is even less tech savvy than I am and doesn't have a home computer. So he's downloading here (I or my staff are downloading for him). The public computers have their memories wiped every day so we have to download Itunes everyday as well.

That part I can manage and the saving of the music to the Library. Then I'm stuck - how do I send the music to the IPod?? Shouldn't clicking on sync do it? The man is booked in for tomorrow morning and I have a whole 30 minutes to help him before attending the meeting of doom for the day! Can someone please tell me - how to put the music from the CD onto his IPod and save my sanity? Such as it is...
I'll even beat my muse into submission and write you something (very short) in payment if you can help me :DD

I wish I knew how to help, but I despise Apple! I love my sansa and I'd not trade it for anything. Good luck!

Plug it in, click on the name of the ipod (like you would for a playlist), then there should be a tab for 'music'.

From there, you can click which playlists to go onto the playlist, then sync.

(Nin typed all this in for me since she runs the ipod in our house!)

**Usually when you plug the ipod in it will ask if you'd like to sync, click yes. If this dialog box does not appear, move on to one of the following options:

Option 1: If the ipod has already been set up/registered
Step 1: Copy the cd to the library
Step 2: Plug in the ipod
Step 3: Click on the name of the ipod when it pops up in the left column (where the playlists/etc are normally)
Step 4: At the bottom of the "summary" tab there is a button that says "sync". Click it. Wait.

Option 2: if the ipod has NOT been set up/registered (it's brand new)
Step 1: copy the cd(s) to the library
Step 2: plug in the ipod
Step 3: complete the ipod registration information that will pop up in a new window
Step 3: Click on the name of the ipod in the left column (where the playlists/etc are normally)
Step 4: At the bottom of the "summary" tab there is a button that says "sync". Click it. Wait.

That should be all there is too it. Good luck!

What kind of iPod is it? I downloaded the manual for Nano because I lost my hardcopy. Doesn't it give an explanation in the manual? I haven't actually read mine yet. :P

You don't have to register it to sync.... in addition to the buttons (yeah, I think there are more than one) that say "Sync", you can click on "file" (once you are in itunes) and then one of your options is Sync. It's not that bad... I bet you'll be able to find it. I'm not tech savvy either and I found my way around it.

Under itunes there should be an option to look at the ipod when you attatch it? You can then view and chose what to add and 'apply' changes or 'sync'. Does that help?
