loaded my new ipod and on the left in the itunes there is supposed to be a small picture of an ipod which I click on to transfer my music from pc to ipod but it isnt there. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong. or how do I get the ipod icon on to do the transfer

thanks gang

 

hang on i will turn on itunes for you

 

Installed the Ipod drivers? (not too sure as I'm more offait with Mac...)

You may want to ask in the computing section.

Close iTunes, plug the iPod in and see if iTunes starts automatically. It should do, and the transfer happens automatically.

 

ipod should update when ypyou plug it in. try files then update ipod, have you regirstered the ipod and computer

 

done that and itunes did start but the music has not transfered do i need to change something and whay is there no ipod symbol on the left?

 

habve you gone into preferences and set up you ipod in itunes

 

Is your usb port up to speed? How old is your p.c?

Need 2.0 usb port for the device to be recognised.

 

dont take too much notice of usb mine runs fine on usb 1

 

laptop. pentium 4 about 16 months old

 

you dont have to have usb 2 . I have an older computer than yours with usb 1 and itunes and ipod 60gb works fine

 

Must depend on the p.c involved. My usb1 wasn't having any of it.

 

check the usb cable - does the laptop make a noise when you click it in and does i tunes open automatically? go to www.itunes.co.uk to check for updates.
i had issues when i 1st used mine - when the icon does appear you can just drag and drop files into it! good luck

 

Plug the ipod into the p.c, click on start - control panel - printers and other hardware - system (in l/h column) - hardware - device manager. Once here, scroll down to 'universal serial bus controllers'. Open that and and click and unclick on all the bus ports available, but remember the original configuration (write it down ). See if that wakes the ipod up. The right usb port may not be enabled at the moment.

This is assuming that the ipod software is correctly installed?
