?? re using IPOD Classic as backup for photos while away on vacation

I bought an 80GB IPOD Classic primarily as a backup storage device for photos while away for 3 months. I have copied about 4 g of songs onto it (using my main computer and ITUNES) and now plan to use it to back up photos using my Laptop (which doesn't have ITUNES on it).
I realize that I don't want to use the ITUNES Photo Sync as I will be using it on two computers and it will erase and sync the new photo files so I plan to copy and paste the files in using Windows Explorer. I've done a couple of tests and all seems fine - using Explorer I copy Pictures Folders into the IPOD and I can see the files, open them, delete them, etc - and they're the correct size.
My question is this - I can't seem to "see" the photo files on the IPOD itself - when used as a storage device can you not see the photos? Is there another menu I can't find?
Also - I checked off the "Enable Disk Use" and "Full Resolution" in ITUNES - maybe that's not necessary as I'm not using ITUNES for the photos?
Thanks for any help

*I can't seem to "see" the photo files on the IPOD itself - when used as a storage device can you not see the photos? Is there another menu I can't find?*
You can't "view" anything on your screen that is added to the iPod when using it as a storage device, in the same way that you can't play songs added in that mode either. You can only access those files through Windows Explorer (or Finder on a Mac), you can only view or play anything added through iTunes.

Is there any way to use iphone as a backup for images while travelling

Iphone would make a great back up store for digital images taken with a real camera while travelling, if there was a way to transfer full resolution image files from a PC to iphone via USB. When I am travelling light, I dont carry a laptop with itunes and the iphone doesn't appear as a drive when connected to a computer. Not sure why the file system is hidden.
Any ideas for this?

The iphone does not support disk mode, which would allow it to be used for storage.
At present, I know of no way to do what you want.

Used Ipod Classic issue...

Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone could help me out here...
I purchased a used Ipod classic yesterday from a pawn shop (first time I have ever done this).
Ipod seems to be working fine when listening to headphones with the music(as undesireable as it may be) already on there.
Now, when I try to connect to my pc and try to add/delete music to it I keep getting an error that reads "Attempting to copy to the disk -69 error occurred".
There is plenty of space available (13.3GB) on the ipod, I have I tunes set to manage music manually(not syncing)
I purchased this ipod for my teenage daughter as a quick fix because her other ipod is full and she does not want to delete any music off of it because she says she listens to all of it.
i would appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks.

I wasn't ever concerned about physical harm to myself, but I can assure you I did indeed FEEL the shocks. They were jarring and too substantive to continue working out under the conditions. I was also concerned about short-circuiting the iPod, but it sounds like that shouldn't be an issue, correct?
Ears are sensitive... you're really going to feel AND hear a static shock!
Electronic components are very sensitive to static charges and I can't speak to Apple's design. But, +in my opinion+, a static charge would pass through the protective shielding of the metal case back and not harm the electronics inside.

Regarding "rubbing the device on your polyester shirt while exercising & listening to music" the device rested in a cubby near the control panel of the treadmill. I'm far from an expert in the realm of static electricity, but I have to assume the entire treadmill builds a charge while in motion. I just didn't expect the charge to be released into my ears!
Yes. The sliding rubber belt of the treadmill is the source of the build-up of charge in your body. The iPod is resting elsewhere putting it at a different "potential" than your body. The *difference in potential* (a.k.a. voltage) meets inside your ear between your skin and the earbud whenever the charge builds up to a level great enough to break-down the resistance of the air gap.

Again, I'll play around with some variables and hopefully build this thread into something worthwhile for anyone else experiencing similar problems.
Try wearing, or better yet, holding your iPod... it should keep it at an equal potential to your body thereby eliminating the discharge through your ears.
NOTES: Voltage is also referred to as "Potential Difference"

Help needed. I have a 3TB external hard drive partitioned into 1TB's. I used one partition as backup for the main computer hard drive. But now it is greyed out as shown in the disk utility and its name changed, i dont know how that happened, i tried verifying and repairing it but had no luck. I also tried mounting and unmounting it but still no solution. Anyone to help please?

Looks bad. I would strongly advise backing up the stuff on the other two partitions as soon as possible in case the rest of the drive goes wrong.
Beyond that, Disk Utility has limited abilities to repair disks, DiskWarrior uses a different approach and might, emphasis might be more successful. It has certainly done the job for me in the past when Disk Utility could not.

I was hoping it would be something like a USB device conflict, but now the shuffle is the only thing connected...
This article was one of the ones you linked to above in your initial post
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
Under Part 9. Verify that USB drivers are installed, did you try the steps in If only "Unknown Device" appears? That appears to be your situation.
Also, you said that the shuffle initially worked well enough to do a sync, then it had the same problem again. If you can get it to work again initially, before doing anything else, try the following. Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Summary tab. By default, the checkbox for Enable disk use should be unchecked. If so, check it and Apply the change. See if that makes any difference.
(If Enable disk use was already checked, try unchecking it and Apply the change. Basically, set it the "other way" and see if there is any improvement.)
NOTE: When disk use is enabled, you have to eject the iPod in iTunes before disconnecting it physically.
If the disk use change makes a difference, that may provide a clue about the actual cause.

Used ipod classic won't download music?

I bought a used ipod classic and whenever i try to download a song i bought on my touch to my classic it won't.

How are you trying to put the song onto the Classic?
You cannot transfer it directly from the Touch to the Classic
You cannot download anything from the iTunes Store directly onto the Classic.
You put songs onto the Classic via the iTunes programme on your computer.

You can't see inside a backup file on icloud, thus you can't view your photos at icloud.com.

Restoring a used Ipod Classic 80gb I bought

Hello,
I bought a used Ipod Classic 80gb after my Ipod 30gb 5th generation was stolen.
In order to use this "new" ipod I had to download a newer Itunes version and do some changes. This Ipod I bought (that's 100% authentic) needs to be restored to a windows formatted version, when I hit RESTORE. It says it has to download something and afterwards it says the connection time expired and that I need to check my network properties. They seem to be working ok!!!!!.....at least the Ipod is being recognized by the computer at last but HOW CAN I RESTORE IT!?!?! WHAT IS HAPPENING!!??!?
PLEASE HELP!!!!

*Hay man That same problem happened to me when I wanted to update to 1.1.2. I kept trying but download doesn't complete. I went to a friend's house with a higher bandwidth and installed the iTunse and it worked fine. Maybe it was just my connection or something else. Try it. It might help. ;)*

'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

I boug ht an ipod touch it worked for a while then it went in to dfu mode and said to plug in to itunes and i did but that didnt do anything and it wouldnt show up on itunes ethier

i bought an ipod touch it worked for a while then it went in to dfu mode and said to plug in to itunes and i did but that didnt do anything and it wouldnt show up on itunes ethier plz help

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.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
