How do you download songs onto an iPod

I just bought my first iPod and I’m so excited, but Windows doesn’t open my iPod properly and I can’t figure out how to download songs onto my iPod. How do you download songs onto an iPod?”

Before you can begin downloading songs onto your iPod you need to download a little program called iTunes for Windows. You need iTunes to do anything on your iPod including transferring songs and videos from your computer to the iPod. Itunes will manage and organize all your media files, and you can purchase more music, videos, tv shows, games and apps (iPod touch).

So before we can download songs onto the iPod we need to install the mighty iTunes from Apple.

Select your operating system and download the latest version of iTunes from Apple.

Accept the license term and click “Next” to proceed with the install.

Installation Options – this option will let you decide where you want to install iTunes. Check or un-check options as you see fit.

Now click “Install” to begin the installation.

Once you get all that done and out of the way you can plug your iPod with the supplied USB cable and iTunes should open automatically if it doesn’t then manually launch iTunes. You should now see your iPod on the left hand side. Click on it to and begin to edit your syncing options in each tab. Go through each tab carefully cause there is a lot of different syncing options.

Hope this points you in the right direction on how to download songs onto your iPod.

Inserting Images in Gmail

One of the most annoying things I find in emails are “Attachments” especially attachments of an image or images. Not only is it annoying but it can also be dangerous, one of the first rules in keeping your computer virus free is not to download attachments. Now Gmail allows you to insert images into your email messages without attachments. Yay!

First thing you need to do is log into your Gmail account. Once you’re logged in go to the upper right hand side and click “Settings”.




Now we are in the Settings Menu, there are many different tabs here, click on "Labs".




From the Labs tab scroll down until you see the box “Inserting images” by Kent T. Click “Enable” to turn this feature on.







Now click “Save” to save it of coarse.

Now to add an image to the body of your email click on the little “Image” icon on the top menu.






When you click on that image icon you can then upload a image from your computer or the web address of the image. When the image is uploaded click “Add Image”. You can then choose the size from small, medium or large or keep it in the original size.
