and Accessories
iPod nano can do a lot more than play songs. And you can do
a lot more with it than listen to music.
Read this chapter to find out more about the extra features of iPod nano, including
how to use it as an external disk, alarm, or sleep timer; play games; show the time of
day in other parts of the world; display notes; and sync contacts, calendars, and to-do
lists. Learn about how to use iPod nano as a stopwatch and to lock the screen, and
about the accessories available for iPod nano.
Using iPod nano as an External Disk
You can use iPod nano as an external disk to store data files.
You won’t see songs you add using iTunes in the Mac Finder or in Windows Explorer.
And if you copy music files to iPod nano in the Mac Finder or Windows Explorer, you
won’t be able to play them on iPod nano.
To enable iPod nano as an external disk:
1 In iTunes, select iPod nano in the source list and click the Summary tab.
2 In the Options section, select “Enable disk use.”
3 Click Apply.
When you use iPod nano as an external disk, the iPod nano disk icon appears on
the desktop on Mac, or as the next available drive letter in Windows Explorer on a
Windows PC.
Note: Clicking Summary and selecting “Manually manage music and videos” in the
Options section also enables iPod nano to be used as an external disk. Drag files to and
from iPod nano to copy them.
If you use iPod nano primarily as a disk, you might want to keep iTunes from opening
automatically when you connect iPod nano to your computer.
