#589746 - 02/04/13 08:34 AM iPod not registering
kenglade n00b Registered: 09/16/09 Posts: 102	I just bought a used iPod and am working through the set-up procedure. In most respects it seems to be working well. I have an internet connect and have synched with my computer. However, the device is not registering as a disc on my desktop. This leaves me puzzled about how I can transfer to the iPod. I figured it would ea drag-n-drop operation, but I cant see the device to drag to. I have tried three separate USB ports and re-started my Mac to see if that would joggle it. It hasn't. Any suggestions?

Use iTunes to load stuff on it. _________________________ http://davidbearphotography.com/ "If it turns out that President Barack Obama can make a deal with the most intransigent, hard-line, unreasonable, totalitarian mullahs in the world but not with Republicans?
