Hi Randy, I'm sorry you are having such a time with your iPod. I can only answer one of your questions. This is changing the voice.
1. Go to system prefrences. 2. In the System section go to speech 3. go to the text to speech tab 4. The first thing under that is "system voice" there will be a pop up menu where you can pick the system voice. This will be the voice iTunes uses to make the little TTS files that go on the iPod. I wish I could help you out with more. Oh hang on. iPod update. I just did this. When you connect the iPod to the computer it will show up in devices right? Well highlight the iPod and then VO over to the right where you can choose all the settings for music videos ect. There should be a thing right there on the screen, it isn't in a menu or anything just right there it should tell you about your iPod software and you can check for updates. You may have to resort to resetting the iPod which may mean losing whatever it is you have on there. I've heard of programs that will extract stuff off an iPod through something other than iTunes but am clueless on all that. HTH and good luck. :-) ~~~*~~~ Best Wishes- Jenny Kennedy (Howard) Olathe, Kansas USA Feel free to stay in contact with me with any of the following: E-Mail: blueskyes9112...@gmail.com iChat: blueskyes9112...@mac.com (for iChat contact only) Follow me on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/ben_folds_fan Friend me on FaceBook, my profile is at: http://www.facebook.com/blueskyes or read and subscribe to my blog: http://blueskyes9112006.blogspot.com Join the Blind Parents Of FaceBook BPFB group on FaceBook.
