Easy Computer Basics, Windows 7 Edition

To use the iPod with your PC, you first have to install Apple's iTunes software, which comes on the accompanying CD. When you connect your iPod to your PC, your computer automatically launches the iTunes software and transfers any new songs and playlists you've added since the last time you connected.

Connect one end of the USB cable to your iPod.

Connect the other end of the USB cable to a USB port on your PC.

The iTunes software will now launch on your PC and automatically sync its songs and playlists to your iPod.

Close the iTunes software and disconnect your iPod when the sync is complete.
