I'm not limited to how many computers I can connect my MP3 Player to, nor am I limited to how many MP3 players I can drag my media collection to. I think I know what you're doing wrong:

Flip over your MP3 player.
Ensure it DOES NOT have an icon on the back which resembles a fruit.
If it does, then you are a fruit. Take it back to the store, and get a proper media player made by a company that doesn't pretend to have a monopoly on the MP3 player market. Likely it will be about 1/2 the price for the exact same features, it will be smaller, and the battery (which will last longer) will be covered by something called a 'manufacturers warranty'.
Delete Firefox from your computer, because if you think iPods are the shit, then you likely also think that Firefox is the shit, and you are wrong in both cases; from now on, please think for yourself - peer pressure will screw you in the eyeballs every time.

Kill yourself.

Did you learn about firefox from your momma too, or did it come standard on your iPad?

LOL. If every Macintosh product on the planet suddenly burst into flames you couldn't find anyone happier than me. But Firefox is this shit.

---The following is 'off topic' and will not help anyone learn how to sync media to their new iPod. If you want to learn how to sync media to a new iPod, stop reading this post---

OP, everytime someone buys an ipod, they're telling apple "i want the features of an iPod, and I'm willing to pay you extra to get those features"

The only thing that the iPod can do, which the rest of the mass market MP3 players can't, is restrict your ability to transfer music. They've proven time and again that your media experience is totally at the whim of the corporation, and the only way around this is to not use itunes. Those who are unfortunate enough to not understand the digital rights management process, and lose their hard drives to damage or corruption, quickly find out how unfair and 'against them' iTunes can be.

The iPod is only successful because of marketing. At the quantity of products they produce, marketing is cheaper than offering better batteries, providing better product support, eliminating digital rights management, and lowering their pricepoint to something competitive.

There is only one way to tell apple that you don't like their 'features'...don't buy their media players.

I just hate that if you've got an iPod and your battery dies you're pretty much fucked until you're around a computer againi unless you buy one of the $400 accessories that'll charge your shit.

I kinda skipped through this thread but.

And use copy trans manager.

It's much better and easier than itunes.

Doesn't take much to be better than iTunes but like has already been said, if you can't figure out iTunes or an iPod you've got bigger issues, it just doesn't get any easier.
