No disk image of Ipod touch

When I connect my Ipod touch to my Mac, Itunes recognizes it, and I'm able to sync it , etc. However, there is no disk image of it on my desktop? I opened Disk Utilities, and it's not shown there either?
How can I create a disk image of it that will be recognized?

That's expected. The iDevice models do not support disk mode. See here for details.

Is enable disk use on iPod Touch possible?

I need to copy the content on my 16GB 2nd gen. iPod Touch back to my computer which was lost with a HD failure. All of the programs I found that will copy content from iPod to computer need to have "enable Disk Use" checked. I do not have that option listed in iTunes device page. Encrypt backup is where the disk use should be.
Windows 7 shows my Touch as a camera and does not display any files except a picture that is not able to view, even with display all files checked in folder properties. I have installed a few different programs, but they do not "see" the Touch. It does see my iPod video using the same wire to the computer. What can I do, or am I hosed?

If you do a search here others have given links to people in this situation to third party programs that can take info from an ipod touch and place it onto a PC.
I don't have any experience of any of them to know how reliable they are .. which is why people say that backing up is best .. but, some people have posted saying that they have had success with returning information from their ipods to their PC's using them

How to transfer a PDF file in computer to ipod touch?

how can i transfer a pdf in my computer to ipod touch? the pdf could be added to itunes library but i dont know how to sync it from itunes to ipod touch., normal sync doesnt work. (there is no disk mode in ipod touch so couldn't use that either). does anyone know how to do this??? i would really appreciate the help.

i think you can email it to yourself as an attachment and read it.
otherwise you will need to download an app which will allow you do do this. the ereader Stanza is free, and if you download the computer version i'm pretty sure you can use it to transfer PDF files to your iPod.

IPod Touch not showing up in Disk Utility

Hello,
As my title says I can't get my iPod to show up in disk utility. It will show up in my iTunes fine, and works great but for some reason when I bring up Disk Utility, nothing shows up, as if it's not plugged in.
Thanks,
Chris Kefalas

So my next thing to try was to take an image of Snow Leopard that I have, and put that onto my iPod touch and then boot off my iPod touch, and install it that way since my disc drive isn't working...
i wouldn't even consider doing that with an iPod classic. instead, i would get a cheap USB drive (better yet, a firewire drive), use *disk utility* to restore the image of the SL install disk to a small (10 gig) partition there, and boot from the external.
you could also use another Mac to do a *remote install*. click here for information.
yet another option, again involving another Mac, is to enable *remote disk*:
The CD/ROM in my computer busted, so I decided to try to remotely mount the CD from another computer on mine. I know the MacBook Air can do this, so I reasoned that any Mac could. It turns out it is possible, but the solution is far from obvious -- after much searching, I found the solution here.
Here's a quick synopsis. Go to System Preferences » Sharing, and enable 'DVD or CD Sharing.' (I think you need to do this on both machines -- the one with the drive and the one without the CD/ROM drive). Then, on the computer that does not have the CD drive on it, go to a Terminal window and enter:
$ defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser EnableODiskBrowsing -bool true
$ defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser ODSSupported -bool true
Reboot this machine, and when the reboot is finished, you'll see the remote CD/DVD under Devices in the Finder's sidebar. Thereafter, you can remotely mount a CD/DVD from another machine.

How do I enable an iPod Touch 5 for disk use?

Bit of background as to why I wish to do this: I've made a voice memo and I want to get the WAV file from my iPod Touch 5 to my drive. As this apparently necessitates the use of iTunes (Ver. 12.0.1.26) I knew I was in for an interesting time and so it has proved....
The following steps to try and bring this about are all referenced from here -> Using your iPod as a storage drive - Apple Support.
The fun begins at step 5 when it transpires that to get the voice memo file off an iPod Touch 5 I have to get my Mac Mini to recognise the iPod as a drive.
As opposed to selecting "Enable disk use", which apparently is not an option for my iPod Touch 5, I selected "Manually manage music and videos." Then, according to step 6, "The iPod disk icon appears on the desktop and in Finder windows....". Lo and behold I selected "Manually manage music and videos." .....
....and yet my iPod is still not visible as a device.
Any advice re how I get my Mac Mini to recognise the iPod as a drive or how to get the files off my iPod by alternate means would be appreciated. Just one caveat - I would prefer a solution that doesn't require syncing iTunes up to my Mac Mini at any point.
Cheers.

Try using an app like the free iFunBox. iOS devices like the iPod touch do not support Disk Mode

My ipod touch has a permanent image of the end of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon of ITunes. I can't reset, and ipod does not appear on itunes when I plug it into the computer. This happened after I agreed to a failed software update.

My ipod touch has a permanent image of the end of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon of ITunes. I can't reset using the two button method, and ipod does not appear on itunes when I plug it into the computer - and nothing else happens either. This happened after I agreed to a software update which failed. How can I get it going again?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My Ipod touch is showing a connect to itunes image. How do I fix it without loosing all of my footage and photos?

I updated my ipod but it failed....
Now my Ipod touch is showing a connect to itunes image. When I connected it to itunes it said that I need to "Restore it". But I have video on it that I really, really need. How do I do this without loosing all of my footage and photos?
Please help!?

You do not. You have to restore the iPod. You can then restoe from backup and get to where you were when the the last backups was made.

Disk could not be read from or written to during syncing to iPod touch

Hi there,
I just got the iPod touch 16gb. When I try to sync videos to the iPod, it will ultimately stop and give me the error about disk not be read from or written to during syncing. In addition, when the iPod charging battery logo and the whole screen for that matter go blank, iTUNES displayed an error message of Device has timed out. Thus, I have to close and reopen iTUNES to sync new music or video files. This didn't happen with my iPod video 30gb. It seems like the device times out so quickly. It is annoying. Anyway, please offer any suggestions. Thank you.

I'm having the same synching problem. It looks like file size is a factor. Most of my music library transfered over ok, but only after I de-selected podcasts and videos.
The movie file I'm testing with is 1.2 GB. It gets about 7/8's of the way, progress stops, and then a dialog opens saying that the disc can not be read from or written to.
When moving just music the Touch consistently gets through 263 songs (2.38 GB) of 275 songs (2.70 GB). It seems to miss the long audiobooks.
Interestingly my 1st gen 2 GB Nano is also having the same error "can not be read from or written to" when I synch my podcasts. In disc mode I can copy over the 1.2 GB movie no problem.
Any help would be appreciated. I would really like to stick some movies on the Touch.

When my ipod touch (3rd gen) displays an white image, a whiter spot appears on the screen?

It only appears when displaying light images, and i have only just noticed it a few days ago. My ipod touch is running iOS5.0.1
If you have had this problem, please tell me how you fixed it.
It's not a dead pixel, it's just a small circle of pixels that seem to be a noticably different shade of white than the others.
My ipod is under 2 years old now, so the warranty is void.

You can try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factry defaults/new iPod.
If you still have the problem then repair/replacement is required if you do not want to live with it.

hi, firstly my ipod touch is working fine in itunes. i reformated my computer so i lost all my old drivers ect ect, so now my ipod shows up as an image device. i have reinstalled itunes several times and installed apple mobile device but still doesnt work, i have also searched for the usbappl or whatever it is and i cant find it, i have usbappl .dll but no .sys or .inf please help

All it is supposed to show up as in Windows is an image device.
If it's working fine in iTunes, what is the issue?

I have a gen 3 ipod and can't get it into disk mode. In itunes it does not have the option and I cant figure out how to do it on the ipod touch itself. Any ideas?

Why can't I enable disk use on my Ipod touch?

I wish to use my ipod touch as an external hard-drive. I have watched videos on how to go about it and they show that there is a greyed out check box that must be checked. This check box does not exist for me. Why not? and is it possible to enable disk use?
MY ipod is an ipod touch 4th generation, 8gb, ios 6.1.6
Itunes version - 11.1.5

You just be looking at instructions for the older iPods. None of the iOS devices such as the iPod touch have ever supported disk use. There are third-party utilities that purport to provide workarounds to allow such use, but I have no experience with any of them so I can't make any recommendations.

Can't find 'Enable Disk Use' with iTunes 9 on my iPod Touch

I have a 1st generation iPod Touch, and need to enable disk use, but can no longer find the option in iTunes 9! Can somebody please tell me how to do this? Thanks.
EDIT: Just found out that the iPod touch doesn't support disk use... Although I've found a hack that makes it work, Thanks anyway.
