Enabling ipod as hard disk with no computer

Hi,
I am currently away from home for 4 months and have no access to my mac or any other at present. I wanted to put all the pics and videos from my digital camera onto my ipod in their raw form (tiff, raw, but not jpeg) but I believe this is not possible unless the ipod has been enabled to use as a hard disk, I didn't know this before I left home.
Is there any way I can do this without a computer? Or would it be possible to go into an Apple shop (perhaps in Sydney as I will be passing through) and have it done there?
I apologise in advance as I will be slow to get back to any replies as I am having to use internet cafes often with dial up connection.
Thanks for any help.

Yes.
Hold the MENU and SELECT (Center) buttons until you see the Apple logo to reset the iPod. THen, while the Apple logo is displayed, press and hold the PLAY and SELECT buttons to enter Disk Mode.
Reset the iPod again to exit Disk Mode.
Cheers!
-Bryan

  • Experience Formatting Gen5 Ipod Hard Disk with Fat 32?

    Does anyone have any experience formatting a Gen 5 60gb for Windows hard disk with Fat32? I was thinking of doing this and then restoring from itunes 7.5 to start all over. If so, how did you do it? Thanks in advance. Running Win XP w/SP2

    i reformatted my daughter's 5th gen. 30Gig thru 'my computer' but itunes still wont recognize it so i can't use the RESTORE on it. anyway, plug the usb in your ipod and wait for 'my computer' to recognize it then right click on it and and choose format.

  • I had to format my HD, now iTunes says my iPOD is sync'd with another computer.  How do I get my iPOD's music back in to the library and sync it with the computer again?

    I had to format my computers hard drive.  Now the iTunes thinks my iPOD is sync'd with another computer.  How do I get re-sync the iPOD and computer and get my songs on the iPOD back in to the iTunes library.  Thanks!

    Can't tell you exactly, as it can be used to facilitate piracy and Apple blocks this sort of thing from occuring (except for itunes purchased music)
    But you can find out what your looking for at iLounge, i'd suggest that method for "mixed" music from different sources, that way you get it all back.
    Next time, hit the iTunes menu and backup your library to disks, only takes a few minutes and a few DVD-R's.
    Good Luck

  • I accidentally deleted my whole i tune library. I was able to retrieve the entire library, but all my play lists have dissapeared and iTunes says that my ipod is not synced with this computer. Can i sync my playlists from my ipod to my itunes?

    i accadentally deleted my entire library (over 10,000 song) when i was trying to delete an old back up file off an external hard drive. Now when i open I Tunes and connect my ipod, a message says tht my ipod is not synced with this computer. This is the only computer this ipod has ever been synced to, so i don't know how to reconnect the two. I was able to restore all my music to the itunes library, but I lost all my playlists. I spent considerable time creating the playlists and they are stll on my ipod. Can I somehow sync in a way that my ipod can give the computer my play lists?

    With your iPod connected to iTunes right->click on it's device name in the left hand pane of iTunes under devices and select Export Playlists.

  • How to connect my new MacBook Air to a LaCie hard disk with TIme Capsule backup from my old Imac? LaCie has USB 2.0, FireWire and eSata ports.

    How can I connect my new MacBook Air to a LaCie hard disk with TIme Capsule backup from my old Imac? LaCie has USB 2.0, FireWire and eSata ports.

    You can direct connect your MBA to the LaCie via USB 2 cable.  If you have an Apple Airport Router you can USB connect the LaCie drive to the router and then use Airport Utility to configure it.  Time Machine can access it either way.

    Move or copy all the media from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer.

  • Using ipod as hard disk

    I use my ipod's hard disk to transfer music from my office pc to my home pc. I decided not to delete the iTunes Music Folder from the ipod's hd in case my PC's hd crashed. Is this recommended? I only have 6GB of music downloaded so space is not an issue (for now).
    Also, I like to know if using ipod during flights is ok? I know that using cellphones are not allowed but how abt ipod?

    Paragraphs help the reader, just saying.
    What are you actually trying to do? Why do you need "DVD size" folders if you're creatng an Archive on an external hard drive?
    Also, I understand burning folders instead of individual photos or albums gives you more space on a DVD.
    It makes no difference at all.
    How can I keep the captions on my photos (not events) when I print or transfer to a new folder?
    You can export while writing the metadata to the file in most cases.
    Tne only way I know is to copy photos from the Windows to folders on my HD, then copy and paste photos or albums or events to HD, then create a new folder and fill it to the appropriate DVD size. 
    HD? Another HD? You use HD there in a way that makes no sense. What's the point of 'DVD size'?
    I also thought I should download future photos to my Canon programming that comes with EOS cameras and edit and then decide which photos to save to iPhoto library and which to save only to my archival HD?
    Does this have any relation to the previous questions? You know you can delete from iPhoto, right?
    You're somewhat confused and you need to
    1. Decide what exactly you want to do
    2. Then go about it.
    If I understand you correctly - and there's no guarantee that I do -  the easiest thing is to bring all your Photos into iPhoto and do everything from there.
    You can have an archive on an external disk, you can sort and select and edit with or via iPhoto

  • Will external hard disk with firewire help me to back up my laptop using time machine?

    Hi,
    I have macbook pro from 2011 with 750GB hard disk and I try to back up my hard disk using time machine for the first time.
    I used time machine before in the previous OSX versions but I had to format the external disk.
    I have an external Western Digital hard disk with 3TB space. It has only usb connection.
    When I try to backup all my data (650GB) the speed is 25GB per day, so it will take me about a month to backup my disk.
    It's my work laptop, so I can't leave it for backup for more than 2-3 days.
    I read a lot of forums and tried to see if the small speed is only at the beginning of the back up.
    I also tried all the tricks with turning off the spotlight indexing and so on.
    Nothing really helps, so my question is:
    Is it going to help, if I buy an external disk with a firewire connection? Will I be able to backup my data in 2-3 days?
    Thanks,
    Arshavski Alexander

    A Firewire drive would only be about twice as fast as USB 2, so you're still looking at 15 days. Something isn't right.  I'm usinge FW800, and my my 1TB backs up overnight.
    Take a look here and see if anything helps: http://pondini.org/TM/D2.html
