For iPod Beginner, FAQ 2

Q1. If iPod shuffle is infected Virus. Win32. VB.bu
When I inspect virus with Anti Virus, I find that there are two more unknown files (hidden files) with the same virus in my iPod shuffle. I also use my iPod as flash disk. Once I delete the virus, "Removable Disk" cannot be opened and a dialogue box comes up to remark that you should choose program to open the file. I have ever tried to restore it to the factory settings, but it took a long time and remarked, "It couldn't be recovered. Unknown mistakes happened (1418)" I wanted to format my iPod, but it is heard from my classmate that the system would disappear once formatting, then iPod could not work again. Computers can not read it either. What should I do then?

Answer:
The Virus info from Anti Virus 6.0:
Virus: Virus.Win32.VB.bu
File: h:\explorer.exe
h:\wsctf.exe
The file contains the Virus but cannot be deleted.

Q2. How to use iPod if I have no my own computer?
I want to get an iPod before University. After reading the instruction of iPod, however, I find that it should be used together with iTune, so I should have a PC. Is it useless or inconvenient if I don't have my own notebook? Can anybody give me this kind of information?
Secondly, I want to buy an iPod in order to save money because it can be used as a movable hard disk and it is also very convenient to save files. If I want to surf online, just need to go to some public net bar or internet café. Is it safe to do so? You know viruses are everywhere. I don't want my iPod to be a "Virus Infector". Maybe someone can tell me a more adaptive Music Player than iPod (of course that the quality of music playing should be good.)

Answer:
1)That's right. iPod should be used together with iTunes, so if you don't have your own computer, you should put the software and musics in your iPod first. It is definitely troublesome in this way. If you want to download music to iPod, you should setup iTunes onto the computer and then put the music you want into the music folder in your iPod.
2)If you put some file with virus into your iPod, your iPod will be definitely a media of virus. Any carrier used as hard disk could be the spreading root of virus. It is unavoidable. However, you can anti virus in your iPod directly.
3)If you feel troublesome, you can get a hard-disk MP3 with big capacity but without any professional software. You just need to put the music into mp3 and listen to it without any software. If so, SONY-P series mps is a good choice (the only one has the function of dragging), big capacity and professional software is not needed. You can listen to the music after dragging. Surf online you can find it.

Q3. How to use the iPod player? Now I just use my iPod as U disk. How to upload music into my iPod? When I open iTunes, I find that it cannot keep in step with iPod. When I connect iPod with it, it has no any hint, either. Can anybody tell me how to do that in details?

Answer:
First set up the two ends of USB well, then turn on it press the button on top, enter the system?open F disk in "My Computer"? copy the music you want from your computer to F disk. Then go back to your iPod, choose the music? press the key on top, "right" or "left" key for picking music and the key in the middle is for playing, the up key is for back, to press the up key for a long time is to back to the Menu.

Q4. There is no any response of iPod, how can I solve this problem? When I use the iPod mini, I format it under the Windows system. Now when connected with USB, it is shown that it is recharging and no response in the computer. How can I solve this problem? Thanks!
P.S. in the iPod, the "OPTION" shows, "Not connection with iPod".
Now my iPod cannot be used as Flash Disk. No response when connected with USB just can be recharged, so I think it is nothing to do with the data wire.

Answer:
My advice is below,
1)Cancel the disk function (Can you do that? It is in the Preference ? iPod option) then close iTunes.
2)Down the latest update program on Apple official website.
3)After setting up this program (Perhaps you should restart your computer), run it, choose "Restore" to the factory settings.
4)Open iTunes, it will remark you whether using a new music folder or not. (It is probably this meaning. It is inspected to be connected with a new iTunes), then Enter and update.
5)After 1 or 2 second, it will be finished.
6)Try to add one or two songs to see whether this problem will happen again.
