find someone with the cd-rom for the ipod you have. it will have the driver information for the ipod which is what i think you lack
it doesnt matter if you have iTunes or not! trust me i know from major experiance on this stuff!
programs arent going to recognize it without the driver info...
just find someone with the cd-rom, borrow it, install it, good 2 go

Sorry that your Aunt did get u the cd and stuff. The reason why your computer wont reconize your iPod is becuz u need iTunes. you can always download iTunes on www.apple.com
Hope this help!

Make sure that your PC generation is compatible with your Ipod generation - both hardware and software (operating system). It works perfect on Windows XP with SERVICE PACK 2. Also, Ipod only works on USB2.

you need to go directly Apples Web site and Download the Latest version of iTunes from their web site, then give it a shot, of now, try to find an Apple store in ur area and see if you can get the correct stuff directly from them or buy it from their website also...that should get u started...

Take it back to Worst Buy and trade it for an Archos.
