My brother used Ubuntu and knew the ins and outs. He doesn't with me anymore and I don't know how to use this. I want to have a program that can sync with my ipod. Can someone please help?

Go to Accessories>Ubuntu Software Center. When you open that up click on Sound & Video and search for Banshee. When you find Banshee click on the green arrow on the left and click install after the application information shows up.

Hope it helps.

What type of iPod do you have?

When I right click on the desktop all I see is:

Home
Install
Terminal
Web
Chat
Download
Listen
Burn
Poker
Desktops
Theme
Wallpaper
Reconfigure
Restart
Exit

Where do you find Accessories>Ubuntu Software Center?

I have the classic iPod.

you can also go to the System > Administrator > Synaptic Package Manager

then search for Banshee

you might also want to install banshee-extension-lyrics and banshee-extension-mirage

You don't right-click on the desktop. In the panel at the top (or bottom, or either side, depending on how you configure it) there should be a menu that says Applications, Places, and System. Click on System, then Administration, then Synaptic Package Manager. On the right pane is a list of all the available packages. You can scroll down to Banshee, or you can just highlight any package name and start typing banshee, and it will go to it directly. Click on the icon to the left of the name, select Install, then click on the Apply button at the top of the window. Done.
