Does that mean it's charging for the first time? If so how long does it take to charge for the first time?

No, you have to disconnect it the proper way on order for it to not freeze up. Look for the up-facing arrow with a line underneath. The do not disconnect should disappear if you click that symbol. It does not mean it's charging.

This just means that your ipod is charging. Whenever you plug the ipod into a charger or into your computer it will show this. Charging usually takes a few hours, then you're done. People say that if you just pull the plug out of the ipod when the screen says "do not disconnect" that will eventually harm it and it could break earlier. I am not sure if this is true, but if you are worried about that, on itunes there is an "eject" button. Press that when you are ready to take it out. Nothing will happen, but it will be safer for the ipod.
I have an ipod too. My general advice (which doesn't have much to do with the question) is to get a good case for it. Ipods, especially nanos, break easily. There are lots of different accecories out there and they are definetely worth investing in. Congratulations on buying an ipod and I hope you enjoy it!

The Ipod will always display a "Do Not Disconnect" message when it is attached to your computer, whether it is charging or not. You have to press the little eject icon next to the picture of your Ipod in the Itunes toolbar (on the left side of the Itunes screen) to disconnect the Ipod safely. The first time you connect your Ipod, it should only take about 30 minutes to charge. And don't forget to eject your Ipod before you disconnect it!

when you plug it in it will tell you not to disconnect because if you do, whatever files you're trying to put on it will be deleted. And yes, it is also charging, and it should only take about 30 min.

it always does that when you plug it into your computer. It means that your ipod is updating itself. It takes about 2-4 hours for a complete charge

This happens everytime you put it into your computer. It is charging yes but mostly it is preparing to have music put into it. If you disconnect it while you are still loading music into it it will not save the music. No worries.

Yes! Or it could be updating. It will tell you on the top of itunes.
1.) Download limewire from limewire.com
2) download Itunes from itunes.com
3) Search in limewire (specifying audio!)
4) Drag the download from limewire onto itunes
this can be done by minimizing limewire and maximizing itunes!

"Do not disconnect" is OK, it is just getting in sync with iTUNES on your PC/Mac. Next you will see the sync is completed and the iPod is charging.
Start by getting some FREE tunes from the iTunes stores and you will see them download to your computer then sync with the iPod.
