How do you use the 2nd gen ipod touch as a hard drive?

I restored it and renamed it because my sister gave it to me, and now I restored it to use it as my own, and it works fine and all, occasionally saying it can't sync some applications and movies because it can't find the file or something, and I've tried removing all my music (which is like, 5.5 GB total) and it still has those same errors. The other thing I have a problem with, as the subject implies, how do I use it as a hard drive? I've seen the tutorials on apple, but I don't see the "enable disk use" on itunes in the XXXXX's ipod summary tab.

The iPod touch doesn't have the "enable disk use" option of other iPods.

  • How do you update the 2nd generation ipod touch to get IOS 4.3?

    My niece sold me her second generation ipod touch so I could give it to my five-year old for christmas. I was so excited to give it to him, until I tried to start loading apps.  It kept saying that I needed IOS 4.3.  How do I get that on this ipod?  This was going to be his BIG gift because obviously I don't want to buy a five-year old a brand new ipod touch.  I will be so upset and disappointed if I can't use this...

    Sorry, the 2nd generation iPod Touch can not be upgraded beyond iOS 4.2.1.

    - Use a smart phone that can act as a wifi hotspot to share it s cellular connection. An iPhone will also do that via bluetooth. You need to purchase a tethering plan .

  • Please help; What makes the 2nd Gen iPod Touch better then the 1st Gen?

    I am thinking about buying an 8gb iPod Touch, should i save some dough and buy the 1st gen iPod Touch or pay a bit more and buy the 2nd gen?
    Also, what makes the 2nd gen iPod Touch better then the 1st gen, what has been improved, changed, etc...?
    Thanks in advance.

    I had the 1st gen touch since it first came out and just got the 2nd gen touch last month. I'll list a few things I like about the 2nd gen touch.
    1. internal speaker. makes a huge difference in my opinion.
    2. new design. alot nicer to hold in your hand than the 1st gen.
    3. seems faster overall than the 1st gen touch.
    4.display no longer has blue tint. now has more of a yellow tint. makes pics and movies look a little better.
    If you can afford the 2nd gen touch I would highly recommend it.

  • How can i use the airport time capsule as a external hard drive?

    how can i use the airport time capsule as a external hard drive?

    Why do you recommend not place things like iTunes libraries or photo libraries on the drive? It was what I am looking for...
    I suggest that you ask the experts over in the iPhoto Support Community about their opinions on placing an iPhoto or Aperture library on the Time Capsule....even if you plan to use a wired connection for your Mac and the Time Capsule.
    But, if Terrence Devlin answers, be prepared for a lecture about why you should not ever do this.
    If you place the iTunes library on the Time Capsule, be prepared for iTunes to give you messages about not being able to find the library.
    In addtion, LaPastenague has the answer for you in a nutshell......corruption problems.
    Bottom line....the Time Capsule is for your backups.....not "everyday" files and especially not libraries.

  • How to sync contacts to 2nd gen iPod touch?

    I have a 2nd gen iPod Touch, and have just moved from MobileMe to iCloud on all of my other devices which are supported.  On the iPod Touch I now should be able to sync contacts and calendars only via iTunes, since it will not work with iCloud.  All is well with calendar syncing.  However, even though I have the appropriate boxes checked in iTunes to sync contacts, I get "no contacts" on the Touch.  What might I be doing wrong?  Thanks!

    Thanks, I had seen that support article.  It states that although the Touch will not sync with iCloud, both calendar and contact data will continue to reside locally on the device.  In my case this is true, and can sync locally with iTunes, for iCal, but not for contacts.

  • How can i use the cloud on ipod touch 3g

    any ideas how to use the cloud with the 3g ipo touch?

    You need iOS 5 for iCloud. A 3G iPod can go to iOS 5. However, since you say you have iOS 4.2.1 I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

  • How much space does the 4th gen iPod touch 8GB actually have?

    I'm considering buying the new 4th gen iPod touch but am not sure whether to get 8GB or 32GB (wish they had 16GB). My 2nd gen iPod is 8GB, but only has 6.8GB available according to the about tab. I'm down to about 500MB, and am about to import 1GB of music. I'll pick and choose for now (70% I don't listen to anyways). But does anyone know how much available space there actually is for the new 4th gen iPod touch 8GB (I know 32GB is plenty big )?
    If it's not worth it, I won't buy it, but mine is having a few problems and I would like a new one that I know is fine instead of refurbished w/ the battery needing replaced (and a camera would be nice).

    I do use it a lot for games...they tend to be larger files. My songs are whatever my dad buys and whatever I buy. Once I import this big batch of songs I will be at 700 songs and then will only add more when Dad or I buy them. I make a lot of money for a high schooler but my mom doesn't like how much I spend on iTunes (she's not into music the way I am). I don't want to have to pick and choose on which apps I have on my iPod. Songs, I can pick and choose if necessary. I just hate running low on available space.

  • HT5457 why dont you update the 3rd gen ipod touch to iOS 6?

    I have a 3rd gen ipod touch and don't have the money to get a newer ipod so why cant you make iOS 6 available for 3rd gen ipod touches?

    1) You are not talking to Apple here.  We are users just like you.
    2) The 3rd gen iPod does not have the hardware to be able to use iOS 6
    3) As of now, almost all available apps will also run on iOS 5.

  • How do you handle the iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch with PHDs?

    This is one of the areas that I'm having the most difficulty right now. Here's the setup:
    1 Server with 10.5.8
    3 desktops with 10.6.3
    2 laptops with 10.6.3
    3 users, each of whom has an iPhone. Let's say Jane has been using her desktop all week but is going to work from home on Friday, so she takes a laptop. She logs out of her desktop and logs in with the laptop while on the gigabit ethernet LAN to save time. This goes well, and she goes home. Friday she logs in and needs to sync her iPhone. It now says that she needs to authorize the machine. Ok, she dos this. Uh oh.. now she's at her limit of 5 machines. (Since the iTunes Music Store only lets users authorize 5 machines, this might pop up again) - also, it shows that she has 10 updates to her applications. She thinks this is strange because she had just synced her iPhone the day before and there were no additional updates, and the updates that the MacBook is showing her are the same versions that are installed on the iPhone already.
    I suppose that she can simply re-download the stuff and it won't be an issue, but is that the only effective solution?
    What have you folks done to facilitate 'ease of use' when using portable home directories and iPhone/iPad users?

    The iPod touch doesn't have the "enable disk use" option of other iPods.

  • How do you reinstall the 3.0 iPod Touch OS?

    I don't mean restore, I mean re-install from scratch. My computer had to be rebooted during the installation of the 3.0 update. My family owns two iPod touches (1st Gen). One works perfectly. The other takes a LONG time to boot up; it takes 15 seconds for the apple logo to go away. Then after another 15-20 seconds of black screen, it arrives at the picture of the Earth with the unlock slider along the bottom of the screen. I restored back to factory defaults, but nothing was changed.
    Can anyone help?

    Thank you for the advice; once I went into preferences and deleted my ipod's backup, the restore worked perfectly. Now the unlock screen shows up within 5 seconds of the Apple logo disappearing instead of the 15-20 it was taking previously.

  • Can we PLEASE get a separate board for the 2nd Gen iPod touch already????

    As if I'm not already having trouble figuring out if people are talking about the new or old one.

    Probably a good idea, but since software state probably makes a bigger difference the most important thing is that people fill in their specs in the My Settings page to assists others who post on the same thread. 
    best regards
