O, you know what? I had this same issue, my friend. Let me tell ya how to
fix it.
What you need to do, is to actually bring up ITunes first! then! plug your
IPod in.
The reason that it's doing what it is, is because right now, Leopard is
seeing your IPod as a flash drive, and thus, moun ting it to the desktop,
thus, not allowing it to be mounted as a playlist in ITunes.
Secondly, once you plug in the IPod, you're gonna get a screen telling you
to register it, etc. You need to go through, and create an Apple ID if
you've not already, and sign in. It's free to do that, don't fret. If you
already got an account, go up in the menu bar of ITunes, to the store menu,
then go to sign in. Once you've signed in, you'll remain so, unless you
sign out. This goes for even if you quit ITunes and reopen it.
I agree, that kind a threw me off at first too, but once you get the hang of
it, it's a sinch, trust me. I sync my shuffle with ITunes, and frankly, I
was using WinAmp on my windows box to do it, but, o, frickin God! No more!
God, the way ITunes does it, is so frickin slick! I love it!

Subject: syncing my Itunes library with my Ipod?
Hi Everyone,
How do I sync my Itunes library with my new Ipod? I plugged the Ipod
into the USB port, and it said optomising for mac OS 10. It opens
Itunes, but nothing seems to sync. What do I need to do to get
everything working together?
The Ipod isn't showing up in my Itunes source list, but is showing up in
finder.
Help?
Thanks as always, Olivia
