How to Upload Songs to an iPod: (You can also find the instructions here.)

1)Download the latest version of iTunes. It is free and you can obtain it from the Apple website. It could have come with your iPod on an installation CD. Makes sure your computer meets the requirements. You can find older versions on the web, but they have limitations.
2)Scan your computer for songs to add to the library.
3)Connect your iPod to your computer with the USB cable that came with your iPod. The iPod screen should say "Do not disconnect".
4)Open iTunes. Your iPod should appear under Devices in the bar to the left.
5)Follow the instructions for naming your iPod and changing the initial settings if the iPod has not been plugged into a computer before.
6)Buy music from the iTunes music store or import songs off a CD using iTunes.
7)Decide whether you want to sync your iPod with your iTunes library or manually put songs on your iPod.
(Syncing your iPod will automatically add all of the songs in your library to your iPod. It will also delete any songs from your iPod that are not in your library. Click on your iPod icon and select Sync in the lower right corner.)
8)If you do not want all the songs in your library on your iPod, make a playlist of all the songs you do want, or decide which playlists you want to include on your iPod.
9)Click on your iPod icon.
10)On the top bar, click on the button which says "Music".
11)Make sure the box that says "Sync Music" is checked, then check the box for whether you want your iPod to sync with the entire library or selected playlists. If you click selected playlists, select the playlists you want in the playlists category. For newer iPods you can check which artists are included on your iPod to automatically import all the songs from each selected artist onto your iPod.
12)Properly disconnect your iPod using the eject button (see Warnings).
13)Listen to your new songs!

TIPS:
Set up the iPod on the computer you plan to use it on. An iPod set up with a Macintosh will need to have all the songs deleted in order to use it on a Windows operating system. This only needs to be done once if you switch computers, but just to make less hassle, try to use the iPod on only one computer.

WARNINGS:
Make sure you disconnect the iPod properly to avoid problems or loss of files on your iPod. Click the eject button next to the iPod icon in iTunes, or in the lower, right-hand corner. If you quit iTunes, drag the iPod icon on your desktop to the trash to eject (Mac). Right click on the iPod icon on your desktop on a Windows PC.

Things You'll Need:
- USB connector cable
- iTunes
- iPod
- Computer
- Music files or CD's

Hello,
I bought a few weeks ago iCopyExpert to put my ipod (classic)music and play list into my computer.
I have 9980 songs in my ipod to copy, all the process star OK, but when the icopyExpert begins to transfer the music to my itunes (after I already disconnected my ipod, as the program says I should do) in middle of the procedure (after 3500 - 4000 songs have been copied to my itunes) a screen window emerge saying: "access violation at address 004CBB17 in module 'iPodCopy.exe.' Read of address 00000000", and stop the copy process.
Please, can you tell me what I have to do to copy all my music passing up the message?
I will really appreciate any advice to solve this problem and finally get all my music in my VAIO PC.

The following simple guidance is about transfer music from old iPod to new iPod with the "Transfer Purchases" function of iTunes:

1. Plug the Old iPod into computer via the USB cable. Then launch iTunes.
2. Click "File > Device > Transfer Purchases". iTunes will automatically transfer the songs to iTunes library.
3. Plug the new iPod into computer. Then import the songs from iTunes to the new iPod.

But if you want to move the whole music library between iPods, here are better ways to help you do that:https://www.leawo.org/tutorial/how-to-transfer-music-from-old-ipod-to-new-ipod.html?=1400

You will have to download I-Tunes from Apple.
Plug in his Ipod and then go to "Sync" in I-Tunes, this will sync your computer to his Ipod
But what will happen is that when you plug in the Ipod into your computer it will sync with your computer and all the songs that was on the Ipod from his computer will now be lost.
I don't know why they do that, but that is the way it is.
The only way around this is to burn a CD of your music and put it on his computer that the Ipod is sync'ed with.

Good Luck,
I hope this helps

your ipod will not function properly with windows media player. it may play the music but it won;t get functionality from the ipod.
You have to use iTunes to get your ipod straightened out. Once you mount it on iTunes you will see the music and be able to add music and delete music.

You're going to have to use a 3.5mm jack to RCA and run it through the Aux input on the back. You can get them for about 5 dollars at Walmart.

Other options are RealPlayer (has a iPod plug-in), and a relatively new program which appears promising called Songbird. Both of these two programs are popular for transferring music to iPods without the use of Apple iTunes.

you need to have 'Itunes' on your computer

Download it here: www.apple.com/ipod/start

through this program you'll be able to convert audio CDs to your ipod & buy new songs from ' the itunes store. '
