TRANSFERRING RECORDINGS FROM iPod TO A MAC OSX COMPUTER:
1. Connect your iPod to your PC via the USB port.
2. If iTunes launches automatically (in most cases it probably will), close out of it
completely.
3. Click on the iPod icon found on your desktop - it will be called whatever you
chose to name it when you first set it up with your computer.
4. Press Apple+I to get into the Info screen. At the bottom of the screen, change
the Ownership and Permissions to “You can Read and Write.” Also check the box
that says “Ignore ownership on this volume.” (See Figure F)
3. Double click on ‘Macintosh HD’ (found on your desktop), and open
‘Applications’, then ‘Utilities’, then load the application called ‘Terminal’. This will
bring you to a text-entry prompt.
4. Type the following string, exactly as you see it below (see Figure E):
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE (press Enter key)
killall Finder (press Enter key)
Keep this window open, as you will need to return here in step #6.
5. Next, go back to your desktop and double click on the drive labeled according to
your iPod.
6. Open the ‘iPod_Control’ directory, then the ‘Music’ directory, then click on the
directory (usually at the very bottom) labeled ‘iKEY’.
7. Copy the recordings you wish to your hard drive by dragging and dropping, or by
using the copy and paste function.
8. Return to the ‘Terminal’ application and type the following string, exactly as you
see it below:
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE (press Enter key)
killall Finder (press Enter key)
Once you have done this procedure, you will no longer see the hidden files.
Figure D - In order to access your recorded files, you must tell
Windows to Show hidden files and folders.
