Disc mode.  Misleading info in iPod Settings About window

Hi, I have just bought and used the new iPod 80Gb. Computer is PowerBook G4 1.67 with Mac OS X 10.4.8. As well as the reported ERROR (-48) I have noticed that the Settings>About window on the iPod shows only the space taken up by my iTunes music library (3Gb at present). There is however another 40Gb taken up in disc mode by my Pictures folder which I copied from the Mac HD to the iPod. I would expect this to be reflected in reduced storage space in the About window.
Any reason for this? I am also hoping Apple will fix the (-48) error as it is really annoying on a brand new piece of expensive hardware and I am reluctant to apply my own fixes. Firmware is 1.2.1 - the latest. Once it is all fixed it will be awesome to be able to listen to so much music AND store so much back-up of other files.

hello Alxlight, the text in the about-dialog is static and should just inform users about the default configuration in the experimental aurora/nightly channels of firefox. when you decide to disable the various settings in ''options > advanced > data choices'' this data won't be submitted to mozilla, despite what the about-dialog says...

    Open iPod Options. Mess with the 'Enable Disk Use' check box and slider until you get the mix of audio/disk use you want.

  • My iPod Classic 160 is in disc mode and won't turn off, itunes doesn't recognize it - ¿how can I make it work again?

    My iPod Classic 160 is in disc mode.  I responds to nothing.  iTunes doesn't recognize it.  It doesn't sync.  I've tried to restore and got error 1429.  Now it just stays in disc mode and won't turn off.  I'm keeping it connected to the charger so it doesn't go dead.  Is there anything I can do to resurrect my pod?

    To get out of disk mode do a iPod Hard Reset.
    Toggle the Hold switch till you dont see the red mark.
    Press Menu and Center buttons simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.

  • How do I take my iPod out of "Recovery Mode" without restoring to factory settings?

    (iPod 4th Gen, Windows 7)
    I hadn't synced my iPod touch for a long time, because just before Christmas, my antivirus stopped working on my laptop, and I got a virus. I was unable to do anything. Because of my circumstances, I wasn't able to get my computer back to normal until just about a week ago. During the time I didn't have access to my computer, I made a lot of purchases in the iTunes app.
    Now that I have access to my computer again, I tried to sync my iPod. Since it had been a while, I needed to update it. Something must have happened during the update, but I don't know what. All I know is that now my iPod will only show the "Connect to iTunes" screen (so I can't use it at all), and when I connect to iTunes, it says my iPod is in "Recovery Mode." My purchases were not synced to my computer.
    iTunes says to restore it, but I don't want to do that because I would lose all of the purchases I've made since Christmas. They weren't synced, so they would be wiped if I restored it, and only what is on my laptop would be re-synced.
    Bottom line: is there a way to get my iPod to work again, without restoring it to factory settings? If not, then I spent all of that money in iTunes, and now what? I'm supposed to buy it again?
    Thanks for taking the time to read this; I know it's long. I just wanted to make sure all of the details were there, because I've scoured the internet, and no one has a solution for this, other than wiping the slate clean, downloading a program from who-knows-where, with who-knows-what viruses attached to it, or jailbreaking. And those are not options.

    Yu can try to use this program to get the iPOd out of recovery mode.

  • 6th gen ipod nano has white screen and won't go into disc mode

    My ipod nano has a white screen - it will play music, and it is recognized by itunes. It won't enter disc mode. I can't seem to find any other helpful steps to follow online other than put it into disc mode and restore it via itunes. When I attempt to put it into disc mode holding power/Vol down together the screen will turn back, but when I then hold down Vol down/Vol up together while the screen is dark it just goes back to white screen. I did plug it into the computer and restore it via itunes, and the screen is still white.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

    Hi LizS5,
    It sounds as if you have already done much of the troubleshooting suggested in this article, but I would suggest you work through it in order to get your iPod nano back up and running -

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3474
    Specifically -
    Try putting the iPod into disk mode:
    Reset the device (press the Sleep and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the display turns black—about eight seconds).
    When the display turns black, hold down the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk mode.
    While the device is in disk mode, sync it to iTunes and try to restore.
    And if the issue is not resolved -
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

  • IPod displays red 'x', then won't go into disc mode....

    I plugged my iPod (an 80GB classic) in today, and the screen stayed on the apple logo for about a minute, then switched to the red 'x' symbol. I went online, looked at the article, and tried to put the iPod into disc mode, but it would just stay on the logo and go to the red 'x' as it had before.
    Is there any hope for my iPod, or is it bricked? It's not under warranty anymore, and I definitely can't afford to have it sent in right now.

    The same thing happened to me!
    Apple said I would either get it repaired or would receive a replacement, however I have just had an email to say that it is being returned to me unrepaired as it has "accidental damage or misuse"!!
    I have no idea how this could have happened as it was playing away fine and suddenly told me to connect it to the power. I connected it to my laptop thinkng that it needed charged and then the red X came up.
    I called them again to find out why it is being returned still damaged and they said that customer services will not speak to me until I have the iPod back.
    So as soon as I get it back I will be straight on the phone. Not letting this one go!! I have bought iPods for years and this is the first time I have had problems! The warranty is still in date and I am no way prepared to pay for a new one!! Not Happy.

  • Is it possible to load music onto an iPod in Disc Mode?

    Hi guys,
    Is it possible to load music onto an iPod in Disc Mode?
    I recently sold my 5th Gen 30Gb iPod on eBay, about a week later the buyer sent it back claiming it was faulty, he could not switch it on etc etc...
    Within a few minutes I had it running again, but was making a clicking sound. So I put it into disc mode, connected it to my G4 and found out that the seller had managed to change the name of the iPod, delete some of my music, load some of their music onto the iPod and play that music.
    My question is would they have been able to do all that in disc mode? Or would the iPod have to have been fully functional? Let alone using third party software to extract my songs that were already on the iPod.
    I think they received a perfectly working iPod, used it, damaged it, were unable to fix it (couldn't be bothered to find out how) and so sent it back claiming it was faulty all along.
    Thanks for any help and advice anyone can give.
    Alex

    Thanks, I realise that now.
    It turns out that the buyer reformatted the iPod for Windows.
    Would they have been able to do that in Disc Mode?
    Or would the iPod have to have been fully functional?
    I'm trying to prove that the iPod was indeed fully functional when they received it, because they were able to reformat it, rename it, delete some of my music and load some of their own music.

  • Ipod Nano 'About" Settings

    When I save text documents to my iPod Nano, there is always funky jibberish text before the important info and requires me to scroll to the bottom in order to read my note. I noticed under the Settings: About menu that the 'Format:" lists Windows. This seems lame. Is this the problem? Is there a way to change this format?
    mike

    That's usually a sign that your headphones are not plugged in all the way.  The white but of the headphones should be flush with the Nano, meaning no silver can still be seen from the headphone's plug.

  • Cannot reset or get ipod mini into disc mode

    My hard drive was wiped out. Plugged in my husband's ipod after fixing everything (so I thought). Lost all his music. I transferred all MY music from MY ipod onto itunes in the attempt to give him something to listen to!! But I cannot transfer any music from the library into his ipod. Followed some discussion suggestions about resetting ipod, going to disc mode. Cannot do either of these things. Now his ipod is acting weird. Frustrated.

    Feeling very frustrated. My I-Pod 40 Gb is stuck between the logo and the folder with the exclamation mark. It will not reset or go to the disc mode.
    Trying to find some actual help seems difficult. Help.

  • Bought ipod 5th generation off ebay, computer doesn't recognise it, even in disc mode.  any suggestions?

    I bought ipod 5th generation off ebay, computer doesn't recognise it, even in disc mode.  any suggestions?

    Can I assume you are using iTunes 10?
    But most probably, your iPod hardisk is the problem and your Windows 7 is taking a long time to read the disk filesystem.
    Do a disk diagnostic first as posted by tt2, don't worry about the Mac user, Disk diagnostic refer to iPod and not the OS.

    This wont fix your problem, but will help in troubleshooting route, as there are dozens of reasons for the failure.
    Post the results here and hopefully it is not the harddisk.
    Good Luck!

  • Restoring an iPod in Disc Mode

    If I restore my iPod while it is in "disc mode". Will all my music still be erased? I do not have a back up for all my files on my pc. and I apparently need to restore it.

    I didn't look at the article before. I just did now. It was not related to the question.
    You're both thinking of "Disk Use". Similar name, different feature. Look at this article for details:

    Errors when updating leads to corrupt system files and this may be your problem. If you're using windows, connect your device to PC and run any third party app like Syncios. If it detects, you maybe in luck and try to back-up your data if possible. I hope that it won't and if doesn't, there is no other way to recover files. You should be restoring with iTunes and all data will be erased, or else your device may become unusable.

    Here is what worked for me:

    Try and force iPod into Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPod
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad
