When you were trying to get it to work, were you smoking a blunt? I bet you weren't. Here's instructions straight from Apple's website:

1. Set the iPod on the nearest table.
2. Pull out your bag of dro (you should already have this)
3. Prepare to roll tater
4. Split tater-skin (Tater-skin=Optimo (preferred), Swisher, Phillie, White Owl, etc.) User's choice.
5. Place crumbled dro in tater-skin.
6. Roll that bitch up.
7. Put fire to the ass end of it and start puffing.
8. Try iPod again. Guaranteed to work.
