#589746 - 02/04/13 08:34 AM iPod not registering
kenglade n00b Registered: 09/16/09 Posts: 100	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?

I don't know which model you have. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363 _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

Jim_ aka Reboot Registered: 04/21/02 Posts: 11340 Loc: Columbus OH	From the reviews it seems it's just to transfer files to your device and open them from there, not real USB drive emulation where you can plug it from one machine to another. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor
