That iTunes thing sounds odd.

Anyway, uninstall iTunes completely. Download (again) the latest version of iTunes onto you computer; making sure you have the correct version for your OS and Country. Do this with the iPod unplugged. After installing, re-boot. Open iTunes and connect the iPod.

If that still doesn't work, try and do the same on a different computer. If it works fine, its an issue with your PC. If it does the same thing obtain a new wire to connect the iPod the the PC with. Try using the wire on both PC's again. If the problem persists we now know its a faulty iPod. Call Apple or the store you purchased the iPod from, explain what you have done and they will then advise appropriately. This advice will most likely be to send the iPod off to Apple or return it to the store.

If you call apple first they will tell you to do that so you might as well do it beforehand. Sorry i can't be much help but at least theres a strategy for determining the problem and a step towards fixing it.

Yeah I went down to my buddys house and it did the same thing. So i'm thinking it's just the iPod....I just don't know why RealPlayer would say it has music on it but the iPod itself says there isn't.

But yeah I thought that iTunes thing was weird too. I've tried to download it about 4 times now and it keeps doing the same thing.

but it stays plugged in now and doesn't act like im unplugging it constantly lol

I just went and exchanged the one iPod I had, came home and tried to put songs in the new one, and it does the same exact fucking thing.

So I dunno whats going on, can anything think of why this would be happening?

LOL. Call apple or book a session with a Genius at a store if there's one near you.

Geniuses are hard to come by...but im just gonna tell em all to kiss my ass and go to a different store lol

So it theres anything u guys can think of like why 2 ipods that are brand new would do the same exact thing...it just doesnt make sense to me really...

thnx in advance.

(any ideas are appreciated)

Ask there either in the iPod and iTunes bit or the genius, or both.

Im flat broke.

Another question, how can I take a DVD (it's a burnt DVD not bought from the store) and transfer that to my iPod? I think you can do it through iTunes because it says you can put a CD in and rip your tracks from the CD to you iPod. I don't know if it's the same for DVDs or not so...let me know.

Thanks for all ur help.
