Can't get music from my CDs to Ipod!!  Please help!

I am SOOOO frustrated.  I told the sales person I needed something easy.  Told him I wanted an MP3 player for music only.  He told me the IPod Touch (4th) would be the best and easiest.  I've had it three days, and still don't have a song transferred to it.
I first tried Windows media player.  Couldn't get that to work.  Contacted my son (lives in another state, so can't help me) and he said the Apple IPod wouldn't work with Windows media player.  He recommended I download ITunes.
I spent six hours last night, and still couldn't get ITunes to work.  I got it downloaded (I think), and got it to recognize my IPod.  But no music!  The tutorial says when you put a CD in the computer drive, the songs will automatically come up, and you can transfer them to the IPod.  I put the CD in, and...nothing!  I tried SEVERAL times.
I kept getting a message that said ITunes was not my default setting, and did I want to change it.  Several times I clicked the link to do so, it looked like everything was checked for ITunes, and I said save.  But it didn't fix whatever is wrong, and I kept getting the message.
I am so frustrated that I would really like to return the expensive IPod and find something easier to use - however my son said they may not take it back, or they may charge me a restocking fee.
Another quick note...I've purchased three songs (alas I feel I may be listening to three songs for the rest of my life)...and the IPod seems VERY sensitive.  If I even touch it while a song is playing, it will stop, and I need to hit the play button again.  Is there a setting that will help this?
NEED HELP - THANKS!!

- Did you successfully import the CDs into your iTunes library? If not go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Import Music Video and more and following the instructions for importing the music.
- After that follow the instrction in iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod... for instrction for syning the music to the iPod.

    Can't seem to make Migration Assistant work. Doesn't ask about or transfer files.

    I just migrated into a new MBP from an old one.
    It did not bring the music over.  Apple's instructions are to use the Home Sharing feature of iTunes.
    Open iTunes on your old Mac.  Select Home Sharing under the Advanced menu.  Sign in.  Do the same on your new computer.  Then when the library appears under Home Sharing on the left-hand panel on your new computer's iTunes, you can select all and Add To Library.
    That's what Apple says, anyway.

    You would need to buy a new operating system (Snow leopard 10.6.x, or higher).
    Before doing that, it would be best to check to see if your Mac can run the higher operating system.
    Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..." Copy and paste the information into a reply here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).

    You can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    You should still have your profile folder, so when you install 3. you will get your bookmarks and other user data back.
    There is a third party version of Firefox that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

    Hi jclarke64, 
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    I'm sorry to hear that your iPhone 4s was lost, and glad that you were able to upgrade. 
    If your iPhone 4s was backed up to iCloud or using iTunes, you can restore the backed up data to your new phone. 
    See the steps in this article for help with restoring from a backup:
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
    All the best,

  • I want to swap my 3rd generation 64gb 3G ipad, for the same as a mini. However cellular is confusing me, can I get 3G on a cellular ipad? Please help

    I want to swap my 3rd generation 64gb 3G ipad, for the same as a mini. However cellular is confusing me, can I get 3G on a cellular ipad? Please help.  Want to put the sim I take out of the ipad into the mini. On the apple shop website, the cellular model is £100 more expensive then the 3G one, however in currys it only sells cellular. I do not want to make a mistake it's a lot of money.

    3G and cellular are different ways of referring to the same thing, they can use the mobile networks for data. The cellular/3G models are £100 more than the wifi-only version.
    The 3rd gen iPad uses a micro-sim card, the Mini iPads use smaller nano-sim cards, so you won't ba able to use the same sim card.

  • How can i get music from my ipod nano to my iphone 4s?

    How can i get music on my ipod nano to my iphone 4s?

    iPods (except iPod touch which is really an iPhone minus the phone) only sync with your computer running iTunes.  So it needs to go through the computer.
    Since you loaded the iPod from your computer's iTunes library, you can just load the same songs from your iTunes library to the iPad.

  • How can I get music from two diff devices onto my phone if it's only synced to one?

    I have a desktop an laptop both windows with iTunes on both with same Apple ID. Both have diff music on each But the laptop is sync to my iphone & when I have tried to sync my I phone to my desktop it wiped my music. How can I combine music from my desktop and laptop into my iphone without wiping what's already on there?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming it isn't purchased content from the iTunes Store, then your only way is to put all the music onto one computer and sync with that.

  • Why is it so difficult now to get music FROM itunes TO an ipod??

    I have a new PC with Windows 8.  I now have itunes 11.0.1.12 and I "thought" I would be excited about having the latest version.  NOPE!  Now when I plug in my ipod I no longer get to "see" it in the good ole SUMMARY screen that I am used to where I can either drag and drop music into the ipod.  There is no such screen anymore.  I did finally find my ipod under FILE and DEVICES, however I can only see that I can transfer purchases FROM the ipod.  I want to put music from itunes ONTO my daughters ipod touch.  Shouldnt I be able to do that?  My son bought music on his ipod the other day.  The music appears in our itunes account and she would like it on her ipod touch.  How do I get it there now???  Please help...things are NOT as easy as it used to be. 
    Oh yea...I thought I would like the CLOUD options too, however the songs are not appearing on our devices like I thought the CLOUD option was supposed to provide.
    Thank you in advance....
    A VERY frustrated mom!!!!
