Computer Problems
 

So I bought an Ipod today. I was pumped to get home and start getting it going and of course I go to load it and my computer wont even recongnize my D drive. Its saying that a driver is either missing or is curropted. WTF mate? Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Which ipod did you get?

Sorry I can't offer a suggestion for your problem, but check out this site they have a lot of great ipod resources there, you might want to register on their forums and ask your question there too.

Thanks Matty. I got the Ipod mini, 4 gig, about 1,000 songs. Part of me wanted the huge one, but I really dont need it. I know you have an ipod, are you a fan?

Re: Computer Problems
 

i got my dad one (40gb) an its great... do you have windows xp? i know the ipod software is a beotch to get working on anything else... I just installed itunes and the driver off the cd and it worked fine.

I also got it working on win2000, but that took about a week to figure out cause its completely unsupported and not very nice about letting you try to make it work.

Re: Computer Problems
 

I've got the 40gb one and I can't imagine life without it!

Re: Computer Problems
 

I love my 20GB, but it was full a week after I got it. (My brother has a TON of music...Thanks Bro.) Gmanc, you downloaded iTunes I presume? Just making sure, since you will need that to use your iPod.

If your computer is a laptop, you could always stop by your local apple store and ask them.

By the way, did you buy a mini or one of the new Nanos?

Re: Computer Problems
 

The new nanos looks really cool, but until they have one that can hold 40gb or more, I'll be sticking with mine.

By the way, if you're looking to listen to your ipod in your car, this is a must.

It's a little pricey, but believe me it's well worth it.

that might be YEARS, but it'd definately be cool...

Re: Computer Problems
 

Just to update everyone I finally got it working. Of couse I messed somthing else up. I am having trouble putting of all things, freaking wallpaper up. Everytime I just to put a background up, it just goes to some blank color. Any suggestions?

Re: Computer Problems
 

Nevermind, fixed it. You know I always thought I was pretty good with computers....after the last few days i'm going have to reevaluate that..LOL.

Re: Computer Problems
 

I've been wanting to get an iPod for the longest time! Especially at work! I burned a dvd's worth of tunes to listen to at work, but it would be nice to have an iPod that I could listen to in the car as well!

That is cool! Honestly, I don't think I would need one with such a big storage compacity though....of course I say that now, LOL! If I purchase one, it would be definitely because I am sick of burning cds to use in my car -which don't even work half the time! It is something with my car cd player that causes the cds to distort their sound. It's frustrating........

Re: Computer Problems
 

I would also recommend buying an MP3 compatible CD player for your car. Just burn about 100 songs to a CD and play it that way.

Re: Computer Problems
 

I thought about doing that...but the upside with an iPod is that I could bring it in to work with me and listen to it at my desk.

I don't know why I'm think about this....I've been trying to save for a house! You guys don't know how hard it's been for me not to buy a brand new Dell system! :)

Re: Computer Problems
 

You might want to look into the Dell Digital Jukebox (if you download a lot of "questionable" tunes). To play things on the iPod, I BELIEVE you have to have iPod tunes. Correct me if I'm wrong though...

Re: Computer Problems
 

Nah...you can upload songs from cds to iTunes. Of course, music in Windows media format would probably have to be burned to a disk and ripped to the iTunes library, but that's no biggy.

Re: Computer Problems
 

I do know there is a utility called dbpoweramp that will convert music to the lossless format that apple iTunes uses.
