Using iPod nano as an External Disk
You can use iPod nano as an external disk to store data les. The iPod nano disk icon
appears on the desktop (Mac), or as the next available drive letter in Windows Explorer
(Windows PC). Drag les to or from iPod nano to copy them.
In external disk mode, you don’t see songs you added using iTunes. And if you drag
les to iPod nano in the Mac 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 device list and click the Summary tab.
2 In the Options section, select “Enable disk use.”
3 Click Apply.
If you use iPod nano primarily as an external disk, you might want to keep iTunes from
opening automatically when you connect iPod nano to your computer.
To prevent iTunes from opening automatically when you connect iPod nano to
your computer:
1 In iTunes, select iPod nano in the device list and click the Summary tab.
2 In the Options section, deselect “Open iTunes when this iPod is connected.”
3 Click Apply.

You can use the timer on iPod nano to keep track of time, count down to an event,

laps. You can play music or other audio while you use the stopwatch.
