New here, be nice!! (files not found in iTunes)

[NC_Gal]

Hello, I am new to this whole downloading music stuff so please be nice! I am somewhat computer literate, but now "geek squad" material!

I have read the above sticky on ipod....I STILL cant get it to work right! I have a bunch of songs that I dragged from FW to iTunes that have an exclamation point next to them and says the "file cannot be found"

I also have no FW playlist in iTunes (should I?) and cannot find the place to change the settings

HELP PLEASE!!!

Thanks
Roni
