Hi all,

I am a total newbie to the iPod touch, and can't seem to find any information on something that I think is pretty common.

I have an Iomega network attached harddrive on my home PC network. I have put my music and photos onto the NAS device, and can access it from any of the PCs on my network.

I just purchased an iPod Touch, and am trying to use iTunes to load music/photos onto the iPod. While iTunes sees the NAS device, and shows it under "Shared", I can't figure out how to put songs from the NAS folder into my library so I can sync them into the iPod. I can play them in iTunes, but I cannot get them into my Music library, and therefore they won't sync into the iPod.

I could load the songs onto my PC again, so that iTunes would see it under My Music--but that sort of defeats the purpose of putting the music/photos on the NAS.

What am I doing wrong? Or is this just the way it is with iTunes??

Thanks in advance,
Denny:confused:
 
How do I change the location?

try setting it to the location of your music.

I am a total newbie, so how do I do that--change the location?

Thanks!!
 
Never mind relocating iTunes library. I'm thinking you need to map your network drive, so iTunes would treat it like a local drive, therefore allowing you to drag and drop your music into iTunes. Google "map network drive" + your Windows version to get instructions on how to do this.
