First iPod... and I have no idea how to use it! Help, please!

Alright, so today I went out and bought a new 80G iPod Classic. So when I get it home, I try to upload some of my music. (About 5G)
However, I'm on a PC, and all of my music is in Windows Media Player. But when I open up iTunes, it converts some of my music (about 10 albums or so) into my iTunes library. And that's it... The rest of my music is still only avaliable in my WMP library, and of course I can't sync my music to my iPod through that. What do I do? How do I convert my music from WMP to iTunes? I tried going to 'My Computer' and taking my albums and selecting 'send to iPod', however that didn't do anything... except waste an hour or so.
Also, I have eight or so podcasts downloaded, with various episodes or whatever, but when I tried to sync those only four podcasts appeard on my iPod, with one episode each. Why is this happening?
And somehow I accidently clicked sync 'contacts' or something when I finally got a iTunes sync screen... but seeing as I don't have my contacts on Microsoft Office Outlook, all I get is an error message. Is there a way I can un-click the box that says add contacts by any chance? I haven't yet found a way to change my sync options.
Also, how can I upload pictures to my iPod? Is there some software that I need?
And one last thing: my 'cover flow' doesn't appear to be working. All of my albums have little grey covers. Any idea as to why?
I'm sorry if some of this stuff is obvious. I appreciate your help. Thanks!

It sounds like your mom changed a restriction on your device which will not allow you to access content or apps that are rated +12 or higher.  You need to ask your mom to edit the restriction.
