iPods etc are automatically recognised on Macs but Wintel systems may not treat it as a drive; you might have to install a driver first. Alternatively download and install iTunes first - that might know to go straight for the usb device.
Yes thanks for that. I did install disc first and followed instructions. Just watched video demo on help page. Hmmm. Im sure it will get sussed but Im worried about the usb connector.
You need to install the s/w (drivers & iTunes) and then I would suggest getting the latest version of iTunes from Apples website and also the latest iPod updater before you start to panic
