Q: Why I cannot find the "enable disk use" from my iPo d touch 5G 32GB?

After reading the thread of "using your ipod as a storage drive" (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1478), I still cannot see the option of "enable disk use". Is the 5G not support any more harddisk use? or any secret steps I've missed?

 

Thanks if some one can help!

iPod touch, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

A:

Because this is not a feature of the ipod touch.  No ipod touches support disk mode at all.  the ipod touch is not a storage device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.

    That Support Article you have linked to does not apply to the iPod Touch.

     

    To the best of my knowledge...

     

    '...using your ipod as a storage drive...'

     

    Has never been an option on the Touch...

    One way to put notes from a desktop to the iPod Touch is via an App. Evernote allows you to save notes to the internet and the Evernote App will allow you to use those notes on the iPod. Alternatively, Awesome Note (from the developer BRID) is really good.

     

    In fact, I create notes in Awesome Note and back them up to Evernote. I also create notes in Evernote, which I can then import into Awesome Note.

     

    Evernote is free, Awesome Note has a "Lite" version (which allows you to create 10 notes). There are lots of alternative note applications available, but I mention these two as I personally use them.

     

    I do not receive any reward, financial or otherwise, from either Evernote or Awesome Note (BRID).
