Ipod help anyone?

Recommended Posts

My brother gave me an Ipod he found while jogging. It's just the ipod itself without any cables.

I went to buy what I thought would just be a simple charger and maybe a usb cable.

The chick at walmart said you need the usb cable to charge it, but I guess I dont understand.

It says 20g on the back and it has a screen that I think looks like a video screen. What cable sdo I need to just use it without the bells and whistles?
Thanks

Just go buy the USB cable. It transfers music and charges it off your computer. Also download I-Tunes if you don't have.


But i USB calbefor an Ipod not just a standard USB cable.

Does the iPod have a dock connector? If it is an old 20gb like mine then it may even need Firewire 6 pin to 6 pin cables and a Firewire port on your computer.

If it has a dock connector then you need the dock to USB cable. If you don't want to shell out for the charger it will charge while plugged into a computer that isn't in sleep mode as long as it is plugged into a powered USB port.
