I think you have a conflict between windows and iTunes...

probably, Windows Media Player is set as the default. I use iTunes, and when I installed it, I set it as my default player, and I only use iTunes for all of my music "work" on the computer. Try putting a regular music CD into your computer. You might get a message with a list of programs to play the CD. Select iTunes, and there should also be a little checkbox that says something like "set as default" or "only use this program for this type of file" Something like that.
Once you get it going, you should simply be able to drag the music you want right over to your iPod on the left side of the screen in iTunes and just drop it in.
When I first got my iPod, I also had problems. It's very frustrating! My husband gave it to me for a birthday gift, and I was so frustrated that I threatened to just throw the thing out (iPod, not husband). Now, however, I think that the iPod is the best thing to happen since man walked on the moon! Just wait until you start subscribing to podcasts!

You do it in iTunes - SM
You can make different play lists in iTunes. It will show your iPod (when it's plugged into the computer) on the left side of the screen, and you can right click and select new play list. It's really easy!
I am using itunes, but I also downloaded
some songs from Wal-Mart and I get the message, "WIndows Media Player cannot copy the file because the license associated with the file restricts it." How do I get past this??

Are you using ITunes or another site to get your music?

I use itunes. 99 cents per song...
I like it. I just use my debit card, and I can make a great mixed CD for $15 to $20. You can also download a lot of CDs for $10, which is a great deal. I have heard some people complain about the sound quality, but I don't have any nice stereos, so I wouldn't know the difference! Once you download itunes you can also preview each song before you buy it, which is great. It's totally legal, and 99 cents per song isn't bad. Itunes is the only one I've used, so there may be better ones out there, but I'm happy with it.
You can, but I find iTunes to be easier.
iTunes and iPods play well together. Rhapsody works, but it will put music in a different library on your computer unless you specify that iTunes and Rhapsody are using the same. Also, anything you purchase through the iTunes Store can be transferred from your iPod to your computer. That came in handy when my hard drive died! I hear that you can do that with your non-iTunes purchases, but it sounded complicated to me. I just find iTunes is easier to deal with.
Do a search in iTunes for workout music. There are people
sets of music based on tempo. You can download slower, medium, or faster sets.

lock windows
I made my fiance nail shut all the windows in the house when I moved in with him until we bought new windows because lo and behold none of his windows locked. While this was probably not smart in case of a fire I would rather be alive to throw something out the window to get out rather than have someone come through the window at night (or day) and do who knows what.
Another warning about windows being down
I had a friend whose husband had the passenger's side window down and the dog was in the front seat. He was on a leash, but he tried to get some fresh air (small dog as well), he slipped and fell out of the window and was hung by the leash when the husband (while driving) tried to "yank" him back in. He has never gotten over it. Another word to the wise - I wonder if this could be just as much of a distraction as talking on a cell phone while driving. If I had a dog, I think he/she would be in the back seat, and I would literally treat him/her more like a child and belt the animal in to be safe. Sorry to hear of the loss in your life. It must have been devastating.
....here. Maybe the windows will be open if it's
s
yea - I need windows, gutters, among
other things but I decided 79.00 wasn't going to get anywhere close to what I needed for that! I might as well die if I can't have something I want every now and then.
I always lock the doors/windows too, but
then today I saw this.

Opinions on bedroom windows...
I am bringing this up from a thread below since I would like to get some opinions. I have room darkening shades that I have stapled right onto the trim but it does not work quite as well as I would have hoped. I have not found a way to block it so that no light comes in at all. I have blankets over the curtain rod and blankets laying across the top because of the light that comes in at the top.
Also he runs a fan to block daytime noise and so it causes the blankets to move and flutter.
Here is an idea I had but would have to figure out how to build it. Window cornice(?) that would cover the entire window. Four 2x4s long enough to box in the window completely and piece of plywood over it, cover with fabric of some kind (curtainy)and install it on the window. I would also like to figure out a way to make it removable so during the days he's not in there I would have natural light. I was even thinking I could insulate the inside of the box.
I am looking for any and all opinions. Even the littlest light in there bothers him.
oh, and open windows to air out home...
gotta change that air sometime........LOL
and when windows are opened, central a/c is off....
gotta be careful with mold/mildew.....which thankfully have never had in 30 years in s. fla....
have been for 30 years - tho do open windows
to listen to the birds before the world arises...but now we don't have to - they're chirping at 2 a.m.
LOL
We had new windows put in our house over the summer so
we now need to stain all of them. Ugh. We did not want vinyl inside, because our moulding and doors are all wood. This should be fun. Have to try to match the exisiting woodwork. At least I will be busy this winter.
Replace the windows in your house.
If you have an old house, you probably have a ton of air escaping through your old windows. The initial cost will be a good chunk of cash, but it will be worth it from years of energy savings to come.
Did anyone load the new Int. Explorer 7 in your windows update yet.
nm
Yes, I guess you have a "genuine" version of Windows
and not an illegal copy. Can't say that for many of us using company equipment, lol.
With those big leaded-glass windows the builders put
in, it's kind of hard to hide when the lights are on inside and you are in the LR. If I'm in my office and DH isn't in the LR either, I just peak out to see who it is. I may have to replace that dumb front door, but the window in the door is the only window in the living room. Stoopid builders.
Still keeping the windows open, even at night
Here in So. Indiana, we are finally past the heat wave and really having some enjoyable weather.. but are still desperate for some rain. Won't even thinking about burning any wood in the stove until December.
45 here; heat on or windows open today? (nm)
Did anyone do the last Windows update and get a message about a DLL address cant be read or
something when you start the computer up.
Be sure to open a coupla windows....chili is a fart-fest...sm
They'll get to jumpin' up and yellin' at the TV/game after feeding and all of a sudden somebody will rip a ripe one! Ya may as well consider making that classic Knorr Swiss spinach dip with lots of shallots/onions as well.... Cat
Change the locks on your doors, nail the windows shut
and fill out a restraining order against him.
I felt it here in NE Indiana for about 10-15 seconds, rattled the windows and shook the couch. nm

Try scrub ing/mopping with baking soda and vinegar and keeping windows open as much as possible - nm
