Using iPod nano as an External Disk
You can use iPod nano as an external disk to store and download data files.
Note: To download music and other audio files to iPod nano, you must use iTunes. For
example, you won’t see songs you download with iTunes in the Macintosh Finder or in
Windows Explorer. Likewise, if you copy music files to iPod nano in the Macintosh
Finder or Windows Explorer, you won’t be able to play them on iPod nano.
To enable iPod nano as an external disk:
1 In iTunes, select iPod nano in the Source list and click the Options button.
2 Click Music and select “Enable disk use.”
When you use iPod nano as an external disk, the iPod nano disk icon appears on the
desktop on the Mac, or as the next available drive letter in Windows Explorer on a
Windows PC.
Note: Clicking Music and selecting “Manually manage songs and playlists” in the
Options window also enables iPod nano to be used as an external disk. Drag files to
and from iPod nano to copy them.
