Question: Does IPOD have flash drive ability? Is it possible to use this Ipod as a flash drive when connected by USB to a computer? ie. can I copy/store/retrieve pc files?
Document: You can carry all your music, photos, contacts, videos, calender info, etc on the ipod. You can even use it to store files if you've run out of space on your computer. Although the screen is only 2.5" big watching movies on it isnt a problem at all... it comes out nice and clear.I have no regrets buying my ipod, it's everything i wanted and more! But be warned, you'll probably want to buy a mac after getting this.
iTunes is the iPod management software, so if it doesn't see the iPod you cannot do anything with it. There are several possible fixes.2) I get the "Do not disconnect" message on my iPod screen.The iPod connects to your computer by way of a USB port. All devices that connect using USB must be "unmounted" before you unplug them.
loveit, its a portable hard drive that has the ability to play music/movies too!
It's kind of heavy but basically it's awesome.I bought 80GB and the battery life is really good. I don't have to think about charging.I hope Apple will support much more kinds of video files. iPod supports only MOV files. So I have to convert every video files to MOV. It's really stupid. Creative's digital audio players support many kinds of files. So, if you use one to watch video and movie mainly, you should buy Creative one.
I bought this 80GB iPod video to replace my 2-year-old iPod mini (the battery was shot), and also to serve as an external hard drive for my PC laptop. So far it's working great, and I love it! My music, movies, podcasts, etc. are easy to navigate through the menus, and the iPod itself is very easy to use.
The audio input into the iPod is a single circular hole, and not the circular hole with the small rectangular hole right next to it. This really annoys me because I can no longer use my remote and store my iPod in my holder while I am working out. I suppose this was intentional by Apple to move people away from using one iPod for everything, and forcing them to an iPod nano (or a shuffle) if they want to use it to work out.
Follow these simple steps.How to transfer music from ipod to itunes (computer). Basically, in order to transfer songs from the iPod to your computer, you have to undermine the design of the iPod. Whenever you use a device in a way it's not designed, you increase the chances that it'll break.
Love this version of the IPOD. Feels solid, easy to use, fits 80gb of music in a unit smaller than a cassete tape.
get it,its a great player and u can use it as a hard drive
The IPOD is just excellent, I just had a little problem converting videos to ipod format using i-tunes (the videos was loosing audio), but I was able to find a free tool in Internet to achieve my objective. The quality of videos are great.
Answer: Absolutely - Simply check "Enable Hard Drive Use" in iToons when you're setting up prefs and the deal is done. If you do not want the computer to affect the music just UNcheck "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" in prefs. If u plug into a different computer and iToons opens, just quit itoons immediately as it opens. You may get a notice that iToons is updating the ipod. Click ok & just quit the pgm. Just remember, after you eject the ipod (properly-right?) the iPod will still show the red "Do Not Disconnect" symbol. Respect its wishes. It will dissappear in a moment. Then pull the cable. End of story. I currently have about 5 gigs of backup info on mine & it is a real lifesaver. Hope this helps
