Hello Jamison,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I see that you want to know how to put an iPod nano into disk mode. We have the following support article that tells how to do that: How to use disk mode on your iPod

Note that your iPod nano needs to be a 6th or 7th generation to do this. The steps are as follows:

iPod nano (6th or 7th generation)

  1. Make sure that your iPod has a battery charge.
  2. Reset your iPod.
    • For iPod nano (7th generation), press the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.
    • For iPod nano (6th generation), press the Sleep/Wake and Volume Down buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.
  3. When you see the Apple logo, hold down the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons at the same time until your iPod enters disk mode.

iPod nano (7th generation) and iPod nano (6th generation) have Multi-Touch displays for navigation. If you have an earlier model of iPod nano, use the steps for iPod models with a Click Wheel.
