mouse works.. its plugged into my usb port but other then that it doesnt work.. sorry im blazed if some of this seems dumb. The ipod seems to be the only thing not recognized. I hear a bleep then nothing... my computer shows nothing plugged into the usb ports

Hmmm since is beeping it obviously senses something connected. Could it be an issue with windows media player trying to open the device :/ . Smoked too so brain is not fully functional .

[Atacil]

well it should only work with itunes, but ive dl'd and reset that shit so much in the past week i wont do it again

Was just wondering cuz media player likes to take things over if running. Have you tried flashing the firmware or anything?

i dont like ipods

1 their too expensive

2 my sister bought 1 and it took over 3 times to install software on my xp system. she took it back and got an mp3 player(same thing for half price) pluged it in with no software and put songs on it with no problem and it still works perfect

Get Linux man! All iPods work with Amarok(the music player), and if you are having trouble there is so much help online that you can find a tutorial for anything. I would recommend Kubuntu. It is the ubuntu distribution with the KDE desktop manager. It is the most similar to Windows and the easiest for a transition from Windows to Linux.
