This little Nano is driving me nuts! Its working and all but I can not figure out to get the podcasts on it! Is there a magic button that I am missing? My BIL even tried but he does not have podcasts on his, just music.

I am sorry, I hope I am not bothering you with this little device!

Are you trying to find the podcasts already on the iPod or trying to PUT podcasts on it?

If you want to find them on the iPod, click on Music from the main menu, then Podcasts.

To put a podcast ON your iPod, find the podcast in iTunes and download the episode you want. Then plug in your iPod to update it and it will automatically download to your iPod.

You can also right click on the word podcast in itunes and click synch if it doesn't update automatically. Mine doesn't update automatically all the time so this helps.

the nano comes with the most ridiculous directions. i am so glad i found them online because i was banging my head against the wall trying to figure it out. I couldn't get stuff OFF my nano! grrrr! who decided no instructions was a good idea?

brendajos, how do you get stuff OFF of the Nano? I have already listened to 2 knitting blogs and now of course I am stuck!

Hahah, this is why I'm less than enamoured with apple products...

To remove things from your iPod, simply open iTunes, select your iPod so you can see the actual files on it, and just select the ones you don't want and hit Delete.

If you're still having trouble with the podcasts, how I would do it, is find the actual MP3 file from them (usually in your iTunes folder) on your computer, and drag them over to the iPod menu. You can do this for any audio file.

Help!!

doodle you should be able to listen right through itunes. i have also listened on the individual podcaster's blogs too.

My daughter got an iPod Shuffle for her birthday in December, and I had a few problems with it at first, too. I thought the directions were a bit worthless as well. She rarely uses the thing, so I haven't had to deal with it much. My son, on the other hand, LOVES his iPod Video and doesn't seem to have any problems with it. I'm glad to hear you're getting it all figured out now.
