I've had my iPod on autosync and disconnect for a while, but since I'm switching to mac i wanted to switch it back to hard drive mode.
Well, i can't get into the ipod options unless teh ipod is connected, but it wont stay connected long enough unless i remove a huge chunk of songs, then add a huge chunk then switch the settings before it auto-disconnects.
Is there any way around this? I've already changed teh settings, but it would be nice to know if there is a simpler way.
i dont know but maybe one way is diabling "Run iTunes when connected" so that way it'll only sync when you run iTunes. So you can use the hard drive mode on the Mac/PC as long as you dont run itunes..... :slant:
i already disabled that, it still disconnects.
When you connect the iPod to another computer other than the first one you connected to, you should be asked if you want to overwrite the contents of your iPod, select the appropriate response, usually No, then proceed with other options.
Or are you trying to restore your iPod for Macintosh and transfer your music files to another computer?
No, i was just trying to turn on "Use as Hard Drive" on the computer I have always used the iPod with.
It would update, and disconnect before I got a chance to change my ipod preferences.
That's weird, mine does not disconnect until I eject it from iTunes or turn of my PC...
the iPod icon should not disappear from the iTunes sidebar, though the iPod does not have the "Do not disconnect" sign on it
yeah, that seems right to me. I think itunes might be glitching.
Oh well, my mac mini comes today, so i won't have to bother with it anymore.
