Chapter 5 Storing Files on iPod shuffle 27
Transferring Files Between Computers
When you enable disk use on iPod shuffle, you can transfer 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 transfer files between computers with
different operating systems.
To transfer files between computers:
1 After enabling disk use on iPod shuffle, connect it to the computer you want to get 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.
2 Using the computer’s file system (the Finder on a Mac, Windows Explorer on a PC), drag
the files to your iPod shuffle.
3 Disconnect 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.
4 Drag the files from iPod shuffle to a location on the other computer.
Preventing iTunes from Opening Automatically
