Ok now we have music in iTunes we want to get it on our device. So lets get to it!

1 - First of all you need to plug in your device. Connect the small end of the cable to a USB port in your PC and the wider end to the bottom of your Ipod.



2 - Now launch iTunes by either using the desktop shortcut or selecting it from the start menu.

3 - Windows should now recognise the device and install drivers. The following messages should pop up.
If the device isn't recognised make sure there is a good connection to the device and that the cable is working correctly. Also try another USB port on your PC ot determine it is working.
For further help please ask on the forum.
