Monsieur, if you can actually see the individual tracks of the CD and indeed play them in iTunes does that mean they have been successfully "ripped"? This is exactly where I am but can't upload to the iPod

Ifyou can see them in the iTunes Library (as opposed to just in the CD window of iTunes) then yes, they are ripped to your PC.
Are you using a Windows PC or Mac?
If you open iTunes, then connect the iPod to your PC with a USB 2 or Firewire cable, after a few seconds, an iPod Mini or iPod icon should appear in the left panel in iTunes.
If you open the Preferences menu in the Edit menu, and choose the second tab - iPod - you should see an option under Music called "Automatically update all songs and playlists". This should be checked by default. If not, you could check this. (The only reason not to is if your music library is greater than the capacity of the iPod.)
You might also want to check "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected".
If the iPod tab is blank except for a line saying "No iPod connected" then your iPod is not showing up in Windows.
The quickest way to fix this is to reinstall iTunes
with your iPod connected. (Check that you are running the latest version. Version 4.8 is currently on Apple's iTunes Download area. A new version
4.9 supporting
PodCasting is out soon.)
You may also need to download an iPod update, but iTunes will probably do this for you.
