IPod ITunes crash course

Parent Cafe

<p>My small older MP3 player died today and I can’t live without my music during test time. So I went and bought a nice used IPod nano 4g. After looking at it strangely I figured out how to charge it and do the volume and what not.</p>

<p>Got home and downloaded ITunes and its doing its thing at the moment but I have ran into a snag or two or a few. I have no idea how to add or delete the music already on it that I don’t like. Apparently at some point in time my friend used ITunes on my computer (program not on the computer till today) and its listing her IPod instead of mine under devices. How do I change that? </p>

<p>And tell me anything else I need to know about IPod and ITunes and how to use them. </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>My kids are way to young to own one, so no help there.</p>

<p>you need to set up your own account with itunes so it recognizes your ipod.</p>

<p>Little by Little I am slowly getting it, I think.</p>

<p>My daughter ave me her old IPOD (no video and the battery apparently does not last long) when she got a new one for her birthday several months ago. I keep looking at it and thinking I have *got *to get round to figuring out how to use it. One of these days. Maybe they will offer classes at the votech.</p>

<p>When my first iPod went walkabout earlier this year I bought an iPod touch 16G. Problem? Yea! I couldn’t figure out how to use it. I returned it to Costco and bought the 120 gig iPod classic. That I can figure out.</p>

<p>I got an IPod Shuffle through work last fall as part of a gift package so had DS show me how to set up my ITunes account - now have 36 songs on it - woo hoo! My cell phone is also a music player but I never bothered to do anything with it. </p>

<p>Now we all got Best Buy gift cards as part of a work contest and I’m going to get an IPod Touch - assuming they really are coming out with cheaper ones with a camera this fall. I want the apps, not the music! I bookmarked that app thread on CC!! With DS back at college I guess I’ll just figure it out myself. Hopefully.</p>

<p>I ended up getting my whole on computer music collection (580) songs on it last night. Don’t ask me what folders they are in because that got put in all kinds of folders and I don’t have a clue how to put them in folders myself. Luckily I just shuffle my songs to get a variety so it works for me.</p>

<p>next step…setting up playlists :)</p>

<p>I just checked my ipod - I have 1703 songs and 6 playlists.</p>

<p>Sleepytime, 70’s music, Mom’s memorial, exercise music…</p>
