    Hello lottieapple,

     

    Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities.

     

    The following article covers setting up the iPod as a storage drive.

     

    Using your iPod as a storage drive

    Specifically:

    Using iPod as a drive

    1. Connect iPod to your computer.
    2. Open iTunes if it doesn't automatically open.
    3. Select the iPod icon in the Source pane.
    4. Click the Summary tab.
    5. Select "Enable disk use" or "Manually manage music and videos." Either one will allow you to use iPod as a drive. If you select "Manually manage music and videos," iTunes won't automatically update iPod with the iTunes library. If you want iTunes to automatically update your iPod, select "Enable disk use" instead.

    Follow the first 4 steps to get to the right menu and deselect "Enable disk use" or "Manually manage music and videos."

     

    Regards,

    Jeff D.
