SubscribeEnable Disk Mode on iPod Touch? You Can’t
Posted on May 21, 2008 under iPod Tips |Other iPod’s have Disk Mode where you can use the iPod as a hard drive. However, the iPod Touch doesn’t have this mode. There is currently no way to get it to show up in the Finder on a Mac or on the Windows Desktop. You are only able to use the iPod Touch within the iTunes application.
Personally, I think that it’s kind of strange to me that a feature like this would not be available on an iPod in this price range, when you have this feature on the $50 iPod Shuffle.
UPDATE: We have found third party solutions available to use your iPod Touch as a hard drive.
For Mac, you can use PhoneView.
For PC or Mac, you can use TouchCopy.

So does this mean there is no way for me to transfer my music from my ipod touch onto itunes?

This blows. In fact, it’s a shame. Apple is a shame.

Yes, you can transfer.
Using freeware, called DiskAid.
Its rather neat, and I have been using it for a few days now (christmas pressie!)
