My Computer

[bela322]

I cannot locate My Computer under the Start menu. Am I looking in the wrong
place? Is it called something else in Vista? Is it common to be missing
this component? Thanks.

The Prefix "My " has been removed in Vista.

But there is no option in Computer to Manage.

I am trying to get my iPod to sync with my new computer and I'm not finding
what I need. Any suggestions?

Click on the start "orb."
The menu that opens should show a wide white pane and a narrower gray one.
About midway down that, you should see "Computer."
Also, is there an icon on your desktop called "Computer"?

Did this help at all?

Sync an iPod in Windows Vista
Step 1:
Start Windows Vista. You do not need to have administrative privileges in
order to sync your iPod, only access to the Shared Folder on the computer
(by default, every account has access to the Shared Folder).

Step 2:
Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB cable provided. If your
iPod has not already been recognized as a system device, recognition will
occur at this time (requiring the installation of drivers and software
components that are needed in order to recognize your iPod).

Step 3:
Place music files you wish to sync to your iPod in the Shared Folder. You
may also place your music in a dedicated folder within the Shared Folder
(for example, a "My Music" folder).

Step 4:
Open the Sync Center by clicking on the "Start" menu followed by "All
Programs," "Accessories" and then "Sync Center."

Step 5:
Set up a schedule for your iPod to be synced to, or simply choose "Sync"
from the File menu to begin a manual sync. This will automatically update
your iPod with the latest music from the Shared Folder.

Step 6:
Sync your iPod using a double sync method, which will prevent data loss on
the iPod as well as upload music from your iPod to your Sync Center so you
can listen to it on your computer as well.
