Whenever I use to put in my friend's iPod nad my flash drives and stuff, it use to sho up in my computer as "Mass Storage Device," I just got a new iPod, and it no longer shows up. Thinking it was a problem in my iPod I put in my Flash Drive, and it doesn't show up either. I know the computer is reading it because the usb thing on the sys tray pops up, and iTunes transfers songs easily...

Anyone know how to open the Flash Drive and iPod, and/or make the thing show up in My Computer...

    :eek: thats a wierd problem.


    do you see the volume under disk management?
    (right click on my computer, click on manage, under STORAGE)
    i have a feeling its being mounted but conflicting with drive letters.

    Yes I see the iPod there, but I just can't open it like I use to be able to open my Flash Drive in a folder, and simply drag things in to save them onto the drive. I know it works with iPods also because I tried it on my friend's iPod. Any more ideas??

    I'm pretty sure there's a setting somewhere in iTunes options to turn it into a storage device.
