Hey fink51,



When you first connect your iPod to your computer, it should automatically install the required drivers etc. You then may want to open iTunes (or configure it to open automatically every time you connect).


If your iPod is not displaying in iTunes, or Windows, we'll need to start troubleshooting. See the following resource:

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Thanks,
