I've got one...not had any problems with it so far! Don't think I had to download anything though - didn't you get a software cd with it (got mine in feb so it's been a while!) x

I've got one and its used nearly every day. Mine DIDN'T come with a CD (i think because the software is available online, they don't bother packaging the CD)

What you need to do is:
1. unplug the ipod from pc. do not plug it in until you have rebooted.

2. go to Apples site and download iTunes (you don't need to put ur email address on the site, Just click "download iTunes Free" on the Right hand side.) Unfortunately i cannot post the link as i have less than 10 posts

3. when you download it will ask if you want to run or save. Just run and once it's downloaded it will start to install.

4. when its installed, REBOOT computer. (its important you do this other wise you have to uninstall and re-install...if you try to connect the ipod without rebooting it probably won't recognise the ipod.

5. After reboot run itunes, and just go through the setup wizard until you are at the main itunes screen

6. plug in the ipod using the usb cable... pc should recognise it and install the software so that it recognises it.

7.once done, you should see the icon for your ipod on the left hand side of the screen under devices.

Also for the manual do a search on google for the "ipod touch features guide" it's the first link that appears! (again i can't link to it.)

let me know how you get on or if you get stuck!!

Once you've copied any mp3s into your iTunes library (either by going to File and add file to library, or by copying and pasting), select the ones you want on your ipod (the tick boxes), then go to File and 'update iPod' (or something similar - may say sync ipod? can't see because mine's not connected)

Sorry if none of that made any sense - think my brain has switched off for the night

You can also set it up so it automatically updates it when you connect x

thanks hun, I shall try that and will call on you again I'm sure I have the bloomin thing from xmas

Or you can drag and drop them from your itunes library directly into the ipod on the left hand menu...as you can see there is a few ways!! hope you manage to get it done!
