6 More Settings, Extra Features, and

Accessories

iPod classic 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 classic, including

how to use it as an external disk, alarm, or sleep timer; 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 classic as a stopwatch and to lock the screen, and about the

accessories available for iPod classic.

Using iPod classic as an External Disk

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

Note: To add music and other audio or video files to iPod classic, you must use

iTunes. For example, you won’t see songs you add using iTunes in the Mac Finder

or in Windows Explorer. Likewise, if you copy music files to iPod classic in the

Mac Finder or Windows Explorer, you won’t be able to play them on iPod classic.

To enable iPod classic as an external disk:

1 In iTunes, select iPod classic in the device list and click the Summary tab.

2 In the Options section, select “Enable disk use.”

3 Click Apply.

When you use iPod classic as an external disk, the iPod classic 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 classic to be used as an external disk. Drag files to

and from iPod classic to copy them.

If you use iPod classic primarily as a disk, you might want to keep iTunes from opening

automatically when you connect iPod classic to your computer.
