Hi Just got 30GB Ipod w/video ,can't figure out........

Just got my Ipod as a gift.. I was so excited that I failed to realize my operating system wasn't in accordance for the installation. Initaily my ipod allowed me to download songs from my computer but then on the second night i hooked it up to my computer I feel asleep while charging it. When I woke up and tried to turn it on the folder with the exclamation point was there. I called Apple and explained. I was told all I would have to do is upgrade my operating system( which was okay since I needed to do it anyway ). Once I did that I could do the restore and it would be okay. Well I did the restore after upgrading and it's recognized by the computer and i was able to put music on it. But when I disconnect it from the computer it still shows that folder and exclamation point. I tried the reset thingy several times and nothing. I just want my ipod to work..what should i do????

Hi Hudgie,
Your help was very usefull and the topic you gave me is too. But I have question about it says:
OK, now you need to decide 'how' you want to manage your music. You have a couple of options:
Using the existing iTunes installation on your PC
If you want to use the same library and iTunes installation, then you can just re-connect the iPod to the computer via the USB or Firewire. iTunes will launch and ask you to register the iPod. To manage your music, you now have two further options. You could either:
Use 'Auto-Synch' to transfer the entire music library and playlist selections to your iPod.
OR
Use the 'Manual Synch' option to manually drag and drop the songs and playlists that you want on to your iPod.
OR
Set up a 'Master' playlist which contains all the songs you like, and then set the iPod to automatically synch to that.
^^where do I find those options Auto synch, manual synch, and master synch? And can you provide more information about each of them? (I am a bit of amateur at this.) How can I make a separate library, from my sister's library already in the computer? Like example, Amanda's Library (Thats me.) and well Katie's Library (which is already in comp.) Because I do have a different taste of music. Is there a way or no; because I just want a fresh new library for me and not combining it w/ hers.
