Use iPod shuffle to carry your data as well as your music.

Read this chapter to find out how to use iPod shuffle as an external disk.

Using iPod shuffle as an external disk

You can use iPod shuffle as an external disk to store data files.

To sync iPod shuffle with music and other audio that you want to listen to, you must use iTunes. You can’t play audio files that you copy to iPod shuffle using the Macintosh Finder or Windows Explorer.

Use iPod shuffle as an external disk:

1Connect iPod shuffle to your computer.

2In iTunes, select iPod shuffle in the list of devices, then click Summary.

3 Under Options, select “Enable disk use.”

You may need to scroll down to see the disk settings.

4 Click Apply.

When you use iPod shuffle as an external disk, the iPod shuffle disk icon appears on the desktop on a Mac, or as the next available drive letter in Windows Explorer on a Windows PC.

When iPod shuffle is enabled as an external disk and you connect it to your computer, the status light blinks orange continuously. Be sure to eject iPod shuffle in iTunes before you disconnect it from your computer.

Copying files between computers

When you enable disk use on iPod shuffle, you can copy files from one computer to another. iPod shuffle is formatted as a FAT-32 volume, which is supported by both Macs and PCs. This allows you to use iPod shuffle to copy files between computers with different operating systems.

Copy files between computers:

1After enabling disk use on iPod shuffle, connect it to the computer you want to copy the files from.

Important: If iPod shuffle is set to sync automatically, when you connect iPod shuffle to a different computer or user account, a message asks if you want to erase iPod shuffle and sync with the new iTunes library. Click Cancel if you don’t want to erase what’s on iPod shuffle.

2Using the computer’s file system (the Finder on a Mac, or Windows Explorer on a PC), drag the files to your iPod shuffle.

3Disconnect iPod shuffle, and then connect it to the other computer. Again, click Cancel if you don’t want to erase what’s on iPod shuffle.

4Drag the files from iPod shuffle to a location on the other computer.
