Ipod opening in F drive

I have a classic ipod. Recently I used it in China. However, when I plug it into a computer now, it opens in F drive, but not the more convenient E drive. How can I switch it back?

Your instructions helped, but the underlining problem is still there. I thought opening it in another drive would solve it.
When I plug my ipod into any computer, I have to open Word to get to my files. Previously, a window would open and I would click directly (as pone can with any drive), but now the route is indirect, and I can never get a window showing all my files. At least not directly.

  • How to use the  ipod as external hard drive???

    I went to the windows explorer page and checked under my computer and saw my ipod as the "E" drive. Is the procedure of storing files, be it word or excel or photos as simple as dragging them into the ipod E drive location???
    I have tried doing this and they seem to have been copied into the ipod, however when I checked into the ipod they were not there...anywhere. I highlighted the "ipod(E)" drive and created a new folder named "my documents" and then dragged some word files into it. I then detached the ipod from my computer and checked the ipod for the files and the new folder "my documents" and could not find them.
    When you use the ipod as an external hard drive are all the documents and files you drag into it hidden???
    Is there any way to view word documents?? How do you store them?
    When using the ipod, is the only viewable information that comes up onto the ipod screen, info from the "itunes" page??

    You can't view any of the files on the iPod while using the iPod. You can only see them through the computer. I guess if you want, you can put the files into the "Notes" folder on the iPod and see them using your iPod, but you can only open .txt files up to 4kb big.

  • My hard drive with all my actual music files died.  how can I transfer the music on my ipod classic to another drive?

    my hard drive with all my actual music files died.  how can I transfer the music on my ipod classic to another drive?

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
    If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod onto your computer. Here is a guide about how to copy iPod music. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • Import from IPOD to Computer Hard Drive

    Hello, I travelled to the other side of the world with an IPOD 30GB. Now I want to transfer the music from the IPOD to a hard drive and I cannot find a way to do so.
    HELP. Some of the music is to advanced for a child and the rest is in the father's era. I want to save it so the father can have access to it on the HD, add the child's playlist and allow her to enjoy her gift. I know how to make the smart playlist and then only chooose those to be synchronized. However, I do not know how to synchronize in the reverse.
    Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player. Also free is SharePod.

  • Using ipod as a hard drive to transfer data from PC to Mac

    hey, Is is possible to use the ipod as a hard drive to transfer data from/to Mac and windows PCs?
    I see no problem transfering data from/to my mac to the ipod. But I cannot see the ipod on the PC. When I plug the USB cable to my windows PC, it shows a popup message "external disk is not formated. Do you want to format it?".
    thanks,
    Martin

    Windows cannot read a Mac formatted iPod.
    Macs can read Windows fomratted iPods.
    You need to run iTunes for Windows, then Restore the iPod.
    It will now work on both Mac and PC.

  • BSOD open cd dvd drive nvgts.sys blue screens

    hello
    I recently built my MSi mainboard system
    I started getting the BSOD almost anytime I opened my dvd drive. After a few minuets of using Google I discovered this is a common problem but with no certain fix. I did find a fix for a 750i msi mainboard but i have a MSI p7n diamond (780I)
    Can you offer any help with this?
    Thank you so much!
    OS:           Windows XP
    Mainboard:    Msi P7N diamond
    Case:         Apevia X-plorer
    CPU:          Intel core 2 Quad Q9300
    CPU coller:   zalman 97000 cooler
    Memory:       2Gb SLi dual channel memory
    VGA:          Nvidia 9800 GTX
    HDD:          Hard drives
                  WD 3200 GB sata 2
                  Maxtor sata 1 200gb
                  IDE 320gb
    A/V capture:  Pinnacle Movie board
    Sound Card:   X-FI soundcard
    Speakers  :   Logitec x-540
    DVD burner:   Lite-on LH-20A1l-06 DVD burner
    Extras:       MD3 front panel
                  LCD fan contorller

    Ok. Your current DVD drivers can be found in - Start - Settings - Control Panel - System Properties - Hardware - Device Manager - DVD/CD ROM Drives - 'Select' Lite-On, right click, click properties - Driver. If it doesn't say 'Provider Microsoft', that's got be uninstalled, let the reboot detect the new hardware (your installed drive), & let Windows install it's driver. (It may ask for your XP install disc to find the driver for the hardware setup).
    Any way, this is what mine shows as drivers for my DVD/CD/BD drives = (100% troublefree), & I'm running & burning some heavy duty app's.;
    Driver Provider: Microsoft
    Driver Date: 7/1/2001
    Driver Version: 5.1.2535.0
    Digital Signer: Microsoft Windows Publisher
    I'll do some more forum searching, because it was here I found the fix. Time frame was around Jun/Jul '08. Also seems it involved something about RAID drivers as a part of the discussion. Also going to pull out the MSI Install disc & browse it to maybe help remember more, but using the Windows driver should solve this for you.
    The Drive's firmware is what counts most (BL06 is the most recent). The Driver that will make the drive recognized for sure, is the Windows version. Nvidia can provide a new driver today, but that don't mean it will work.
    Edit: That referenced forum post you linked, is the one that propelled me to find the other one. Will start my search Apr. Don't think it was in the OC & Mod. subject. Will start in the Intel Core 2 first.

  • Can I use my iPod as a hard drive?

    In addition to listening to music and looking at photos, I would like to use my iPod as a hard drive. I was able to set the switch to do this on my Mac Powerbook in iTunes. But I want to transfer some files to my desktop PC. I don't want to put the same music on my PC and Mac! I never use the PC to listen to music. But I would like to use the harddrive feature. I'm afraid that if I try to connect to the PC using iTunes it will erase my music and make me start all over again. Is there any way to set a switch on the PC so it can see the files on the the iPod?

    In case your iPod has been used initially on your Mac:
    If you want to use your Mac formatted iPod as ext HD on a Mac as well as on a Windows PC you will loose all your iPod content once, as your iPod has to be re-formatted on a Windows PC using the latest Windows-Ipod-Updater.
    Having done so - although not supported by Apple - your Windows formatted iPod will work on a Mac as well as on a Windows PC.

  • Help with: itunes, ipad2, ipod, a reformated hard drive and an external drive.

    Help!!!
    I have an acient 64GB hard drive PC and a 1TB external drive.  I have copies of my itunes for my ipad2 , and my hubs itunes for his ipod in the external drive.  The 64GB crashed because it was so full that the virus program couldn't even run... so long story short I now have a re-formatted hard drive with 48.4GB of free space. 
    My question is how do I go about getting my itunes and hubs itunes back on to the reformatted drive?  or is it possible to leave the itunes on my external drive and have both our devices boot to the external drive when they are connected to bypass the ancient hard drive all together as I don't wish to ever overload that thing again.....
    Thanks

  • How do you open a hard drive in Lion

    I have a Mac Book Pro.  Since the Lion upgrade I can no longer open a hard drive window on the desktop.  When I double click on the HD icon nothing happens, or at least that is what it seems.  However when I do the 3 finger swipe to go from one desktop to another, then I see that opened HD window showing up and I am transissioning from one desktop to another, then when then next desktop is active, the HD open window disappears.  This is a major bug because I can not access a file on the internal or any connected HD on the MB pro.  Anyone else have this issue?  I do not have the issue on an older 27" iMac, but of course I do not have a trackpad on that machine.  So I feel this is a "Swipe to next desktop" issue.  How do you shut the 3 finger swipe off?

    Sounds like you have a Finder window lost in the "Space between Spaces"
    sometimes dialog windows do this to me, its annoying as all get out.
    Two finger click on your Finder icon and go to Options and pin your Finder to "This Desktop"
    That should force the open window of finder into the space you need, then you can close it and undo that setting.
    Or you can pin finder to all desktops and it will be persistant to any space you are in, but that can get annoying.
