Using iPod as an External Hard Disk

You can use iPod as a hard disk, to store and transfer data files.

To enable iPod as a hard disk:

1. In iTunes, select iPod in the Source list and click the Options button.
2. Click General and select “Enable disk use.”

When you use iPod as a hard disk, the iPod disk icon appears on the desktop on the Mac, or as the next available drive letter in Windows Explorer on a Windows PC.

Note: Clicking Music and selecting “Manually manage songs and playlists” in the Options window also enables iPod to be used as a hard disk.

Note: To transfer music files to iPod , you must use iTunes. Songs transferred via iTunes do not appear on iPod in the Macintosh Finder or Windows Explorer. Likewise, if you copy music files to iPod in the Macintosh Finder or Windows Explorer, you won’t be able to play them on iPod .
