Sometimes the
iPod can be a stubborn ‘lil
bugger who refuses to mount on your computer. A quick fix is to slip
the iPod into Disk Mode, which
is a helpful way to troubleshoot most iPod disk mounting issues.

NOTE: The iPhone, iPod Nano, iPod Shuffle and iPod Touch don't have "hard drives" they have "flash media drives." So you can't put them into disk mode. Just the other iPods. |
 1. You
need to restart your iPod before putting it into Disk
Mode. Check
that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the
headphone jack.
2. Press and hold
the following combination of buttons buttons simultaneously for
approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.

3. Restart
the iPod as explained above, then as soon as you see the Apple
logo, let go, and then hold down the "Fast
Forward" and "Rewind" buttons. This will force
your iPod into Disk Mode. At this point your iPod may
mount on your computer. If not, try restarting the computer.
4. Once
your iPod is in Disk Mode (it should
say that on the top of the iPod's LCD screen) and is flashing
the "Do not disconnect" icon, you should be all set.
5. Just restart your iPod to exit disk mode.
6. If
this procedure didn't work, you may have a hardware
problem. Check out our VIP
Repair Service for more information and how to get
it fixed.
