Can I use my old iPOD as a external Disk

Hello,
I have an old ipod Touchwheel (firewire) and I thought that it amy be useful as a form of external disk (10Gig).
Do you know if it is possible to use it as an external disk and also clear all the ipod software etc from the ipod so that i can utilise most of the 10Gbyte available?
THanks
John

Hi John,
I don't think it can be used as an eternal disk but you can enable your iPod for hard disk use for storage.

I purchased an used iPod Nano 4th.with many,many,many songs and albums on it,but when i plugged the usb cable into my laptop(i am a new comer to computer) i thought i was changing the name and thought i was syncing but something went wrong and everything was gone! is there any way possible to get these back? Please I need Help!!! Thank you!

Was the music purchased via your iTunes account and/or did you buy it from other sources or copy it from your own CDs, or did the music belong to the previous owner ? If the music was yours then you can sync it back to the iPod via your computer's iTunes. If the music is not still on your computer then have you got a backup of it ? If not then for iTunes purchases you might be able to re-download it depending on which country you are in. If the music was put on the iPod by the previous owner then you will need to buy your own copies of it.

Using Ipod Nano on more than one Comp

Can you use IPOD Nano on more than one computer? I tried but on my computer at work, I cannot transfer from IPOD to computer, only computer to IPOD
Please Help!!

I should be able to play it where ever I want
And you can. Just burn it to a data CD, or transfer it to the other computer using a thumb drive, or use networking to transfer it, or even use the Hard Drive feature of the iPod to transfer it. Nothing stops you from doing any of those, and then when it's on the other computer you can play it there just fine.

IPod Nano stuck in DISK MODE - HELP!

How do I get my iPod Nano out of DISK MODE?
When I went to turn it on it was in DISK MODE. How did it get set to DISK MODE?
Thank you.

Thank you, it worked just fine. I guess Apple has replaced operating instructions for these forums! Again, thanks for the help.

I bought a used ipod nano and it is associated to another itunes account. How can I change the itunes account to mine so I can register it to my account?

I bought a used ipod nano for my daughter and when I tried to register it, I got a message advising that it is registered to another iTunes account. How can I remove that association and associate it to our iTunes account?

Restore it in iTunes on your computer.
There is a difference between registering with Apple and using it with iTunes. To register it (which isn't necessary) you would have to get the previous owner to de-register it.

IPod crashed windows when I tried to use it as an external disk drive!

My 30g iPod says it can be used as an external disk drive, but when I tried, I got the blue screen of Death. I need a flash drive for school but can't afford one. How can I make the external disk feature of my iPod work?

I agree with Kappy.. passing files and especially via wireless is slow as slow.
Just need to be sure your TC is the new AC model??
And the OS on the computer is Lion?
Have you completed the setup of the TC via the utility? You do still need to get internet via the TC so it has to be plugged into the main router..
Give us the full picture of the network.
Then we can help you get into it.. whether you should put your files on it is another question.

Using ipod as a hard disk

Hi,
I'm using iPod 30GB. I tried to set my iPod to be an external hard disk by following the steps in the support. Although, I tried a hundred times, I'm still having trouble that my iPod doesn't appear in the Windows Explorer on my PC. Could you tell me why? Thanks for your help ahead.

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
Still no joy, see these.

Strange iPod behavior.
Are you doing the disk mode procedure correctly?

Transfering music from pc to mac using iPod as a hard disk drive

I just got MacBook Pro and iPod which I have formatted for a mac, however, I want to get the songs from my IBM thinkpad to my mac. I transfered a bunch of them with a friends external hard drive, but forgot about all my purchused songs from the music store. I am pretty sure there is a way to use the iPod as a hard disk drive but everytime i attach it to my thinkpad it asks if I want to format the iPod and then won't transfer. So I guess my question is can I do this and if I can do I have to format it to windows and then transfer the files to the iPod and will I be able to put the files from my thinkpad to my mac?
thanks!!!

An iPod formatted for Mac won't run natively on a PC because the Windows OS does not support the HFS Plus file system and therefore will not see the drive. You can reformat your iPod on Windows if you want to use it on both platforms as Macs can read Windows formatting, then you could enable it for disk use on the PC: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
