A turntable use a magnetic cartridge and its output is only 5 to 10 millivolts.A moving coil cartridge is even lower,.2 to .5 millivolts(thats 1/2000 of a volt)in contrast, a mp3 puts out a 300 to 900 mv signal..so does a CD player. Your turntable does not have enough signal.You need to get an amplifier that has a phono input. Years ago,radio shack used to sell phono preamps that could plug into a tape or cd input.The other option is to buy a used mixer that has a phono input.The mixer output can drive the cd input easily,as the max output from a mixer is 1.5 volts to 2 volts.

When I go to record or just listen to a vinyl on my Numark TTUSB, there is a background noise, which seems to come from the HD on my PC. Luiz Alberto Gomes Uberlandia - MG - Brazil

Do you mean audible over-the-air noise; or noise entering the recording? HD's make sounds when they seek. Recording uses the HD, so what's the mystery?

Do you need I- tunes to work

No only to transfer any MP3 to an Ipod.
If you can hear the sound from the turntable on your computer, you can get software such as Magix Audio Cleaning Lab to record and convert it.

Tonearm Weight, Good Replacement Stylus, Gain level

Most good turntables will track with weights between 1.25 and 1.5 grams. Any more than that and you are putting alot of pressure on the needle. Experiment a bit and make sure that the needle tracks well and that the sound is good. The less weight you use, the longer the needle will last and the less wear on the record.
