Well, i just bought a iPOD from a friend for cheap, real cheap. And it's awesome, music is clear, all the options work, everything. But the problem is, no wires, just the iPOD. So, i don't exactly know what i got, and i don't know what to buy. Um, this iPOD doesn't look like the new ones from apple, like the click wheel one or whatever. So, help?

Might've been....but that's not a big deal around here. If doesn't hurt ya, can you answer my questions? because if it isn't feasable, then i'll go ahead and give it back, get my money back (which is what he promised if he couldn't find anything.

meh whatever. I for one would never buy something stolen because I believe in something called karma, but to each their own
basically you need to find out what generation the ipod is and buy the appropriate cable off ebay. you may also need a 6 to 4 pin firewire adaptor if you are plugging it into your pc. hope that helps |

GB size should be written on the back. and you can identify the generation here:

umm go on ebay and find a firewire cable for a 3g ipod. like this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...5733499031&rd=1 and a 6 to 4 pin firewire adaptor. you probably don't need the charger or dock unless you need to charge it away from your computer/are too lazy to plug it in |

ok, so let me get this right.
And anybody can correct me or talk to me. For my iPod to work, i have to have the firewire cable (which plugs directly into my iPod), then to plug the other end of that cable into my PC, i have to have a 6-4 pin firewire plug. -------------------- The most important lesson I learned from Karate-Dō Kyōshan – “You can not be what you do not believe you are” |

firewire is for macs. you need an adapter for the normal cable made for apples to adapt to pc so you can plug it into your pc.

pretty sure a lot of the newer pc's come with firewire. but they use 4 pin rather than the 6 pin found on macs. hence the adaptor. now if you're pc doesn't have firewire I dunno what you can do, maybe there is a usb adaptor somewhere...

as in the PC coming with it, you just mean the USB data ports. Such as the two located on the front of my Dell, and 4 more on the back. Looking at the end of my flash card reader USB, it has 4 flat rods (i guess pins)
