Q: What if the iPod disk icon doesn't appear on the desktop or in Finder window?
I'm trying to add a .txt file to my iPod Classic and I have fallowed all the steps that tell me how to use the iPod as a external disc but I can't find the iPod disk icon on my desktop or in the finder.
Make sure the enable disk use option is ticked from under your iPod's Summary tab in iTunes. Also head to Finder -> Preferences -> General and make sure the CDs, DVDs, and iPods option under Show these items on the desktop is ticked as well.
