Due to restrictions on my computer at work, I can't download iTunes and
iPod software onto my hard drive. I have tried downloading them onto a
storage device but that doesn't seem to work either. Has anybody tried
the latter? Any tips?

Regards

What "doesn't work"? You can't complete the download? The download is
for the wrong platform? The target computer can't open the installation?
Something else?

Look at the first line of his post, he may be behind a company firewall !

Firewall or not, the iTunes and iPod software can be downloaded via the
same port as used to reach the web site in the first place. The OP is
not telling us something and that makes it difficult to help him.

I have to wonder--if he's prevented from downloading, how would the
company feel about him using this software at all?

Maybe so re the port, but it would seem his work place network is
preventing him downloading for obvious reasons

Since the OP doesn't seem to be interested in clarifying the issue, I'm
going to opt out of the discussion.

I presume you cannot install iTunes since instead of downloading you can
carry software on CD or iPod itself?
So you have following options:
1. Asking IT staff for installing iTunes on your PC.
2. Using other software, not requiring installation. Winamp with iPod
plugin should work flawlessly.

Cheers,
