This may sound like a very stupid question but when you choose to 'Manually manage songs and playlists,' there is a popup that says 'disabling auto update requires manually unmounting the iPod before each disconnect.' What is exactly does this mean? Again sorry for this very noob question.

It means that you need to unmount the iPod before you disconnect it. On a PC this means clicking the little round "eject" button next to the ipod icon in the left hand nav -OR- clicking the "Safely remove hardware" icon in the system tray, selecting the iPod (which will show up as a "USB Mass storage device" and clicking "Stop".

On the Mac, this means unmounting it via the icon on the desktop (like you would with any firewire HD in OSX) or doing the same thing in iTunes.

You will know it's ok to disconnect the cable when your iPod no longer says "Do not disconnect".
