The only reason this mode is useful (restarting and making it into a hardrive mode) is because you won't be charging your ipod when in this mode, so you won't ruin your battery.
Thank you for sharing. Would you mind helping me? I know everything about nothing and want to know more. I have a 120GB iPOD I stumbled onto doing my job this summer, I have no software for it but bought a cord to plug it into my macbook pro, this thing has a ton of room on it but I cant figure out how to down load more music onto it without deleting the 13000 songs already on it? I was able to load my pictures on it but itunes is not letting me load it or unload it to and from my files? P/HELP
There is an application called iPod Viewer which can download any song from your iPod that's synced to another computer. You can use it to download the songs and import them into iTunes.
well, more of a flash drive, if you tried using it as an HD, by booting off of it, and having an OS on it, it would be possible, but rrrreeeeeaaallllyyy slow HD, because USB 2.0 is really slow, buut, if you had a firewire 800 connection, then it would actually work, but still a little slow due to it being flash memory. And if someone is stupid enough to say, u cant install an OS on your iPod, DUH! Well, then you would be an idiot. Allocate it, then format it, duh.
actually i'm pretty sure an ipod classic isn't flash memory, its more like a laptop harddrive and i run programs off it all the time. Like halo for instance.
holy shit, this can be the ultimite hacking device!!! Now i just have to figure out how to get bootcd win tools on it....then i can reboot a pc on a striped down OS from my iPod!!!
hey whats the software i need to download for mac,, i use to have it but now its gone,, it use to pick up any new usb device, so i was able to add and remove files from the device please help
kind of but not really, because every ipod except classic uses flash memory, flash memory is specificly designed to store a certain item, but turning it to a hardrive makes it compatible with everything.
it doesn't because the video formats that are accepted on the ipod are not accepted on the xbox. For example, the ipod reads mp4 and the xbox reads wmv. it won't work because of that. You can listen to your music from iPod when it is connected to the xbox because both read mp3 files.
How is this better ir different from jus dragin files to the ipod its the same thing no need to do that menu + middle button then play/pause middle button cuz i got Windows
When you put it into that "Hardrive Mode", your iPod won't charge which means when you plug ur iPod in to use it as a hardrive, it won't wreck the battery for charging, unplugging and repeating these steps.
Ah, i didn't watch the entire thing. Everyone already knows about enabling disk use, and i don't see a point in going into disk mode. How does plugging your iPod in and out wreck your battery?
Well when a battery is charged and you charge it again without letting it run down, it shortens the battery life, so with this mode it keeps the battery away from charging and so you don't have to worry about wrecking your battery.
NICE that is tha best way have i have seen anyone made a tutorial that way i can really see what ur clicking if u had any lil windows up just showing tha ipod and what is happen that wud be twice as gud :D
Say I were to convert my Ipod into a harddrive, how would I convert it back into a regular Ipod?
