File Saving in Ipod touch

In my old ipod 5th generation 30gb ipod classic i could go into a file called ipod control and save files therefore using it as an memory key saving word documents and the like. however now on my 2nd gen 32gb ipod touch i cannot find this file or do the same thing. How can i do this?

iPod touch does not have a 'disk mode' like other iPods meaning it doesn't mount on the desktop like a disk and you can't copy files to it directly.
There are Apps on the AppStore that allow you to mount it as a wireless drive over Wi-Fi.
Here are some options:

  • How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?

    How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?
    The iPod Touch was working perfectly fine.  iTunes suggest that I update the iPod Touch to the latest operating software, and I proceeded to do so.  Then a message popped up stating that the iPod Touch needs to be fully restored - and that all data will be lost.  The iPod Touch now displays the 'plug into iTunes' screen, and is stuck there.  There are irreplaceable family momentos on the iPod Touch.  How can I recover files from an iPod Touch prior to a required restore?  HELP...

    Your only hope is to contact a data recovery company. When it shows the connect to iTunes screen the iPod is essentially deleted.
    You can restore from an existing backup

  • Can't move video and pix files back to iPod Touch from desktop computer

    I moved (via drag-and-drop in Windows) video and picture files from an iPod Touch (iOS 5.1.1) to a Windows 7 desktop computer. I want to copy some of them back, but it won't let me drag-and-drop to copy them back to the iPod. How do I get the files back on the iPod? I know that the "disk mode" is not available on the Touch. Also, although the iPod shows up in iTunes on my desktop computer, these video and picture files (Quick Time Movies, JPEGs, etc.) don't show up there. So, I'm out of ideas. A related question: how do I scan the iPod using my Windows 7 desktop computer's anti-virus application (McAfee)? Normally, when I right-click on a device on the desktop computer, it offers me the ability to scan it for viruses. Not only does it not give me this option for the iPod; the iPod doesn't even show up as a hard drive; it shows up in the window as a separate "flavor" of drive. Is there a way to make Windows 7 think that the iPod Touch is just another USB-connected drive; i.e., is there a way to mimic the disk mode option that is available on other models of the iPod other than the Touch?

    - There is no way to scan the iPod for virus via a computer program. I know of no way to scan an iPod.

  • Is there an app that allows you to download and read pdf files on your ipod touch?

    Is there an app that allows you to download and read pdf file on your ipod touch (5G)?

    There are many apps that allow reading PDFs. GoodReader allows downloading some items. It all depends upon how the site handles the download. It also uses file sharing in iTunes.
    iBooks also reads and had file sharing.

  • Iphone files replaced by ipod touch file

    I have a ipod touch and my computer has connected with my ipod touch before. Recently, I bought a iphone and connected with my computer. I think I choose the wrong selection so the file in my iphone was gone and replaced by the file in my ipod touch. Is there anyway I can get my file back?

    If there are thousands of files that need to be renamed, you can use Unix to take care of that quickly. If you know any system admins, ask them to help you write a script, or poke around the web a little bit or even post this problem in the Unix forum (ask for Gary!) -- this is a common task.
    AppleScript is also built for this kind of thing.
    There are also good utilities out there like "A better finder rename" <http://www.publicspace.net/ABetterFinderRename/index.html> that will do this for you, but you wil probably have to pay the $25 shareware fee.

  • Storing and viewing powerpoint and pdf files on my ipod touch?

    Dear All,
    Do any experts out there know how I can easily store and view ppt & pdf files on my ipod touch 8GB?
    I only need to view them.
    I have read else where that you can copy them in to safari bookmark, but this can destabilise safari(?).
    Is there a simple way I can just drag, drop and view?
    Any free apps available especially for this purpose?
    Thank you very much for your time and help.

  • How to transfer Files from an iPod touch to a new computer?

    Hello all, recently i ran into some computer problems and my computer needed to be replaced.
    I did not keep my old computer. I want to transfer files such as notes, contacts, apps ect. to the new computer. I do not care about transfering music or photos because i have copies of them saved on the new computer already. so is it possible to transfer those things? I have an iPod touch 4th Generation, if that helps.

  • Media files on my iPod touch are categorized as other and I can't use them

    I connect my iPod touch to iTunes on my cousins computer and all my media files were tranfered to other. They still take up space on the iPod but there not where they are supposed to be. I think something like this happened when I had my iPod video but I fixed it easily by opening the iPod files with mycomputer and finding where they were I could right the wrong....however, my iPod touch does not appear in mycomputer wen I connect it but on my laptop wen I open mycomputer it appears as a camera and I cannot do anything with that. Is this normal....should my iPod appear in mycomputer......and how do I fix the problem with my media files being categorized as other.
    P.S. If I add new media files they go where they are supposed to. I could restore my iPod and start over but I don't have backups so I want to get them back in there proper place

    I really don't want to do that......is there anything the people at the apple store can do?
    Also.....I was was having a problem viewing videos. The videos showed as bright colors i.e hilighter yellow and pink and it was distorted. Even youtube. I restored the settings and it stopped....did this happen to any1 else and is it something I should be worried about although its gone?

  • Windows Vista cannot read the file in my ipod touch

    I am using windows vista and I have 2 separate problems with my ipod touch:
    1. Itune recognizes my ipod and all the songs that are on it but not the photos.
    2. Windows cannot display the files that are on the device. When I go to my computer the ipod is not listed as one of the available drive.
    What am I doing wrong?

    So you mean you can sync music, but not photos? How are you doing it? See if this articles helps you: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesMac/7.5/en/789x.html

    That's not a problem. It is just like that! iPod Touch and iPhone cannot be used as a Storage drive. Apple removed this feature from this devices.
    Hope this helps!

    I am trying to transfer a large file (17gigs)using my new ipod touch. I got a new laptop and i am trying to get some things on it. I was able to do this last time with my old ipod classic. It would let me copy/paste the file or drag it. But with the ipod touch i can not do either of those. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you very much.
