Looking for ipod instructions? Easily learn how to use an iPod.

The iPod is the most popular mp3 player sold today. Yet despite what the ads would have you think, it's not that easy to use. First of all, it does not come with a printed manual, so the first thing a newbie would ask is "Where are the iPod instructions ?"

If you're not a newbie and want to get started check out the following instructions:

... Or just follow here to watch these great ipod video instructions online.

Here's what you basically have to do to get your ipod working fast -

Step 1 - Download the latest iTunes version from the Apple's official site.

Step 2 - Install iTunes on your local computer.

Step 3 - Add you mp3 music library to iTunes main playlist.

If your iPod is empty and you only want to use it on one computer:

Step 4 - Connect your iPod to your computer and let it sync automatically to your new music playlist.

If your iPod is not empty and you don't want to lost the songs you've already got installed, look at these intructions for your iPod:

Step 4 (again) - Go to the iTunes options and change the settings for your iPod to manual.

Step 5 - In manual mode - every new song you want to from your computer to your iPod... just drag the mp3 file from your music library onto your iPod icon and you're done!

Step 6 - don't forget to eject your iPod before disconnecting the device from your computer.

There's so much more you can do with your new ipod. You can create playlists, add photos and album covers, play games, rip your own CDs directly to your iTunes library... if you want the easiest most comprehensive guide that would get you started within minutes, check out this easy ipod instructions guide. You won't regret it.

ipod instructions - New iPods expected tomorrow.

Apples media event to take place tomorrow (Sept. 5) promises to bring new iPods to the table. Some speculate the birth of the "phaty ipod Nano" a thin flash based iPod with a wide screen designed to play videos. Some guess that an iPhone Nano is going to be annonced, a smaller scaled down version of the successful iPod. Some speculate the birth of a new iPod video with a new touch control OS. Rumors also mention wifi enabled iPods for internet Radio access.

One thing is for sure and that is Apple's ability to create huge buzz around their product lanuchs. Sites like AppleInsider, MacRumors and digitimes have fans following along trying to guess what their favorite gadget company is up to this time.

iPod instructions will make sure to cover the news as it arrives tomorrow.

Do I need to download and install itunes before I can download songs from my own CDs on to my ipod nano (4GB)? I have Windows ME and need at least Windows Vista or XP to download itunes. I at least want to listen to my CD songs through my ipod until I can get a new computer with a newer Windows version.

Maryfangspace T.T 3 years ago

dear Melony ,Taylor,Marti,Beulah,Eric,Tyler,

to unlock your ipod(s)try these solutions

try going to itunes and reset you Ipod.

Connect your iPod to the primary computer you use it with (the first one iPod synced with), and open iTunes. When you disconnect iPod from the computer, it will no longer be locked.If you can't unlock iPod using either [the code or connecting it to the computer you use to manage its songs]. . . you can restore your iPod to factory settings using iPod Updater. Please note that this will erase all data on your iPod. Afterwards, you can add your music and data back to your iPod.If you want to change the primary computer that your iPod is associated with, do this:1. Restore your iPod. Warning: The restore process cannot be undone. All of your songs and files will be deleted. Always make a backup of your important data.2. Connect your iPod to the computer that you want to be the primary computer.3. Open iTunes and synchronize.Apple also notes that company "representatives cannot unlock an iPod if you forget your combination. If you can't unlock your iPod and you don't have access to the primary computer, your only option is to restore the iPod, which will erase all music and data." (p.s alway make a backup of your data)

or just sell the old one and buy a new one

maybe just get in import for an ipod connect it to a comuter then unlock it

apple blows microsoft 5 weeks ago

no manual, crappy packaging, not a "real" apple usb cable, terrible customer service, made and shipped from china. I was beginning to think that the apple store sold me a $200 counterfeit ipod touch. but nope its real. REAL CRAPPY. ipod is nothing more than a fad and people think is so "cool" to buy mac books and i pods. but really apple is pure garbage. once the battery dies you can kiss all your songs goodbye, then you can bend over and stick you ipod up your butthole.
