Using the new ipod touch as a hard drive and so enabling indexing

Hi,
is it possible to mount the ipod touch as a hard drive and then search this using spotlight.
I have the 5 th generation ipod at the mo and after enabling indexing I can search this using spotlight.
Cheers,
Steve

How do you tell your computer to see your iPod touch as a drive?
You can't from within iTunes with the iPod touch. You have to use third-party App such as:

  • How to sync new iPod Touch to replaced Hard Drive?

    Okay, so I dropped my MB Pro and had to replace the hard drive... tragically, at the moment when my newest Time Machine backup is June 6 (long story, but I kept having the "Time Machine Drive is full" problem and never figured out how to get around it without buying lots of new drives).
    So... here I am with a new drive that, after I go buy a Torx 6 screwdriver, I'll have to reload with a fresh install of 10.6... and then piece together with what files I could salvage from the damaged drive... but then I just realized I'll have another problem.
    I have an iPad that I bought before the backup date, but which has changed content considerably since... and I have an iPod Touch that's only about two weeks old, but loaded with all my old songs, etc. and several new apps.
    HOW do I sync up the iPad and iPod Touch to the computer once the new but "June 6" drive is up and running? Is there a way to have all the changes on the iPad and iPod added back to the Mac, rather than forcing those two units to also go back to my June 6 backup profile?

    Google "Pod to Mac". It is available as both a freeware and paid software. It will copy the content of your iPod touch and most likely your iPad as well back to your Mac. Somethings, like photos, may not get copied back.
    As another potential backup, try Carbon Copy Cloner. You can use it to clone your hard drive making a restore much easier.

  • Has anyone tried syncing the new iPod Touch 4 with OS 10.4.11?

    I know the "official" Apple spec's state the new iPod Touch 4 are
    for it to sync with OS 10.5.8 and use iTunes 10 .... but has anyone been
    successful in using the new iPod Touch 4 with OS 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2.1?

    Does iTunes see the iPod? If not
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    or
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer
    The iPod touch uses different drivers than the Nano

    Download the apps on your syncing computer and then sync to the iPod. Note that you can only sync apps for the one syncing computer you use with the iPod. You can manage music and videos among different computer.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get aCode 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Updateentries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Next, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does it go through properly this time?

  • HT1414 I was using my new iPod touch when...

    I was using my new iPod Touch when the screen suddenly turned unresponsive, after a dozen seconds the iPod's screen turned white with colored lines. It is unresponsive and won't allow me to reset it from my computer. I was using an app and I want my iPod to work! Please help, I have many personal videos that to me seem more valuable than the device itself, please help!!!

    - Try here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't turn it off then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again.
    - If still unsuccessful then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Does the new ipod touch have the same camera optics as the iphone 4S?

    Does the new iPod Touch have the same camera optics as the iPhone 4S?

    Thank you for your reply. But once again if you can clarify please: Let's say I want to purchase the new white iPod Touch (introduced October 2011), will it have the 8 MP camera and improved optics? I'm wondering because I love to take photos and use photo-sharing apps, and I've read so many great reviews on the outstanding camera of the iPhone 4S - but I can't afford the iPhone just yet (also because of my current phone contract) so I was wondering if the newest iPod Touch camera is the same as iPhone 4S. I have the iPod Touch 4th gen, the one introduced Sept 2010, and as you may know that camera isn't the best. I just want to take better photos to share.
    Thank you.

  • I have a problem updating the new ipod touch 5th generation

    I have a problem updating the new ipod touch 5th generation and I need help:
    With each attempt I receive the message:
    iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode.  You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
    The iPod only displays a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an iTunes logo.
    I receive a "Are you sure..." message with the 2 options, one to Restore and Update and the other to Cancel.
    Each time I have selected the Restore and Update button and then moved through the acceptance screens.  Then iTunes begins to download the iOS 6.0.1 Software Update, which usually takes about 50 minutes.  During the download I will receive messages that an iPod has been found in restore mode.
    After the download is complete no update occurs to the iPod and iTunes displays the Device Summary screen showing derive Name as iPod and all other items as n/a.
    The iPod was working great without any known issues prior to attempting to update the OS.

    Maybe:
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
    Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
    Install the latest version of iTunes.
    Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

    Gave my grandsons iPods for Xmas. Looks like one of them downloaded an app (text+) and must/may have deleated on hisiPod the iMessage app that was included on both with both iPods.
    I want to ditch this new app (text+) and return iMessage to his phone as they both are wifi only and iMessaget is what they should both use. Ialso have a iPad (wifi only) and a iphone (both on iOS5) and a MacBook on 10.7.2
    Any help as to how to do this (I would prefer not to due a full restore to the affected iPod if possible)
