Once music is downloaded onto itunes...how do you get it tranferred to the ipod?
Open iTunes and plug in your iPod. On the left sidebar there should be your iPod name (If you can't find the sidebar, go to iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar), go to your iTunes playlist and drag the songs you want to your iPod. For all of the songs, go to your iPod music library, even if you don't have songs, and on the bottom there should be a blue-ish bar. There might be a box saying "Autofill from iTunes library" click that ONLY if you want ALL songs from your iTunes to your iPod. For more Tips about iPod, you may refer to this iPod FAQ.

I bought an Ipod shuffle 2nd generation yesterday, it charged all night and orange light was still blinking. Tried listening to songs and sometimes it would play but most times wouldn't. Took it back for exchange and same problem. Then I realized the problem is not with the USB plug or computer reoconizing ipod but in the docking itself. I applied pressure on the top side of docked Ipod and bottom of docking station and the computer recognized the Ipod. Release pressure and lose connection. The problem is that the docking station and earbuds do not connect with ipod and the fixes provided by apple doesn't address or fix this problem.

1st answer: You may have a non-Apple product. There are lots of knockoffs of the
Nano. Here is a link to check:

Yes, he can but it would have to be done manually, meaning outside of the iTunes application. When the iPod is connected to a computer, it will show up on the desktop of a Mac as another disk drive. Be warned, as soon as you connect the new iPod to the computer, iTunes will load and attempt to sync (copy) all the songs in its library to the iPod.

For all you folks having problems downloading music onto your new iPod here's a simple solution, albeit, one that will cost you a little money, but will make you an expert.
Go to Lynda.com, a software training site. On their homepage under the heading you'll see the title LEARN BY: with several bars. Click on the arrow in the vender bar, then click on APPLE. On the next page scroll down to (iTunes) and click on iTunes 5 and 6 + iPod Essential Training. There you can watch a sample introduction of their iTunes training exercise. For a $25 dollar subscription you can get the complete training exercise for one month. They also have options for annual subscriptions as well at a steeper price tag. Or for $49.95 you can purchase the CD ROM training course.
But try the free sample course first to see if you like it. It's a great site for learning any type of software out there in a easy to understand format that allows you to take your time.
I am not affiliated with Lynda.com, but have used their site several times to learn software programs at my own pace without having to attend some school to do so, and I haven't been disappointed in their training yet.
