Read this chapter to nd out how to use iPod shue as an external disk.
Using iPod shue as an external disk
You can use iPod shue as an external disk to store data les.
To sync iPod shue with music and other audio that you want to listen to, you must use
iTunes. You can’t play audio les that you copy to iPod shue using the Macintosh Finder or
Windows Explorer.
Use iPod shue as an external disk:
1 Connect iPod shue to your computer.
2 In iTunes, select iPod shue in the list of devices, then click Summary.
3 Under Options, select “Enable disk use.”
You may need to scroll down to see the disk settings.
4 Click Apply.
When you use iPod shue as an external disk, the iPod shue disk icon appears on the desktop
on a Mac, or as the next available drive letter in Windows Explorer on a Windows PC.
When iPod shue is enabled as an external disk and you connect it to your computer, the status
light blinks orange continuously. Be sure to eject iPod shue in iTunes before you disconnect it
from your computer.
Copying les between computers
When you enable disk use on iPod shue, you can copy les from one computer to another.
iPod shue is formatted as a FAT-32 volume, which is supported by both Macs and PCs. This
allows you to use iPod shue to copy les between computers with dierent operating systems.
Copy les between computers:
1 After enabling disk use on iPod shue, connect it to the computer you want to copy the les from.
Important: If iPod shue is set to sync automatically, when you connect iPod shue to a
dierent computer or user account, a message asks if you want to erase iPod shue and sync
with the new iTunes library. Click Cancel if you don’t want to erase what’s on iPod shue.
2 Using the computer’s le system (the Finder on a Mac, or Windows Explorer on a PC), drag the
les to your iPod shue.
3 Disconnect iPod shue, and then connect it to the other computer.
Again, click Cancel if you don’t want to erase what’s on iPod shue.
4 Drag the les from iPod shue to a location on the other computer.
